🍾 🎉 We expect to be done with everything except minor mix adjustments by this weekend. We'll be setting a release date about 2 months from now to allow us time to tweak the mixes, and to get the word out. Stay tuned for more specifics and upcoming dates for listening parties.

This project has broken our trackball and audio interface. Just another victim of The Castillion.

The Castillion is much more than just an album of music. The Castillion has existed for centuries. His reach is the world.

The Castillion and his ilk use the world as their chessboard to play their sick, sick games. They've been doing it for centuries.

All songs are complete except for a few guitars that still need to be added to song 10: Nagual. James is currently going through his final checklist for the rest of the album and we expect to be ready to publish and share with everyone very soon. The Castillion is coming.

All vocal corrections for The Castillion are now complete. Just a couple guitars left to record and then it's all production after that.

Drums for all 10 tracks of The Castillion have officially been completed by Rob Steadman... and they are awesome. Vocals are done except for some minor corrections. Bass is done. A couple songs need a few more guitar additions. We're gearing up for the final push to finish the album now. 😈🤘

If creating The Castillion has taught us anything, it's that good things take time.

Finalized track listing for The Castillion: 1. The Fifth Sun 2. Pillars 3. The Shrew 4. That Number 5. Too Old For This 6. No Matter 7. The Board Stretcher 8. Third Hand 9. Valley and Shadow 10. Nagual We are in the endgame now.

We are currently bouncing final mixes, but... - still need drum stems for 3 songs (should be ready by the end of the month) - need vocals redone for 1 song, plus small vocal corrections on a few others - more guitars to record on a few songs (atmos and solos) ...and that is it!
