Are you guys excited to be breaking in your addition to A389 with a performance at the showcase?  - 300 pxl.jpg)
Obviously, it's quite a privilege to be asked to play this showcase. We are indeed very excited.
Two of your records, I Am Not What I Am and Amen, will be re-released by A389 in the new year, but Eternal Depression will not. What prompted the decision to release those?
We came to a verbal agreement with Antithetic Records for the V. Eternal Depression release back in spring of 2011 and weren't contacted by Dom until late summer when we were in the middle of recording. Knowing we would be busy with the new record, we made arrangements with A389 to reissue I Am Not What I Am (which we independently released ourselves on limited 12" out of 220 copies) and Amen (which has never been released on vinyl) on one double LP gatefold. Amen actually has never seen a proper release. We did small release of 60 hand-numbered CDs in 2009, but nothing large scale. We are definitely lucky to have good people like Antithetic and A389 in our corner.
What bands are you most excited to see at the showcase?
Definitely Seven Sisters of Sleep and Triac.
What can we expect from your set?
"The bones are going to weigh us down."
