JRHews Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) *NO OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE OR COVER ART YET* PO this Thursday, 5/23, via Graveface Records "Test acetate approved of the new album by @theappleseedcast! As I’ve said already this is one of the best albums I’ve ever heard, hands down. It’s mental. This will hit indie retail late June and preorders will be up on our site THIS THURSDAY with some options being very limited. Thursday will also be the day we’ll premiere the first single from the record. Pro tip: If I were you I’d join the Graveface Record Club for this before it’s too late as there will be a test pressing version only available to our dedicated subscribers. xoxo" I find it very weird that there was only word on this new album back in May and we still don't have a cover art, track, or release date yet, but they are already doing a PO. I'm in either way, as I absolutely love everything they've done, but I'm surprised this is so secret and underhyped.

Still a very quick turn around but I suppose if Graveface was on the ball and focusing most of their efforts on this then it’s doable.

Mattallurgist Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 The little snippets of new songs floating around have me so excited, it sounds like that classic AC sound mixed with a little Disintegration-era Cure. Which is 100000% my shit. Hopefully I'm at least close in my head - but the amount of hyping up Graveface are giving it has me a little giddy too.

Derek™ Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I’ve been waiting for this for years. Did you guys know Illumination Ritual was written in 3 months and recorded in 3 days? The band knows how to hustle when they crawl out of hibernation. This is going to be immense, and I’m giddy to have already secured tickets to see them in a few months.

I get to throw my money at the computer screen and watch them play on the same day! Derek™ and corey. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRHews Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 Lucky bastards. Hoping they come around again this year for a headlining tour for the new album. I can't be too upset though. Seen them three times already with meWithoutYou and Hop Along and Caspian. Dougie Jones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throwgncpr Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I really loved the line-up on Illumination Ritual, Nathan was amazing on drums. Bummed there is a new crew, but Appleseed Cast never disappoints. I'm really excited to hear this. zdkaiser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t know this until recently but for IR, apparently Crisci was the only “founding” member of the band left. They haven’t really had a set band lineup since Two Conversations, and ironically every album after that one - with various members dipping in and out - have been gold. I think it lends itself to their ability to write a variety of good tunes with Crisci at the helm. Dude knows his stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwgncpr Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 ^ Dude not only knows his stuff, but he knows how to surround himself with good/talented people. I felt like the lineup was the most solid on Illumination Ritual, but the collective hasn't ever made a bad album. I'm sure Fleeting Light of Impermanence will be rad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Two Conversations is not my favorite release, truth be told. I don’t hate it but it feels like a blemish in a really good run of albums. I think I’d maybe be a little less critical of it if it wasn’t directly on the heels of LLO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwgncpr Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I love Two Conversations, but it's definitely a weird follow up to LLO. In a vacuum, it's wonderful. But they set the bar stupidly high with Owl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaoza Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Check out Müscle Wörship, a friend just told me about this yesterday and it’s IR drummer Nathan Wilder’s band. Funnily the vocalist/guitarist Sean Bergman of MW is currently playing with the Appleseed Cast as the latest lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty excited for new stuff Same here , 4 new songs were great and "Song 3" from Peregrine Chris knows how to find drummers (or maybe they find him) with virtually identical styles. Nathan was great on the Caspian tour in 2016 - he was definitely in his own "zone." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
