So in terms of my own shite, here's what I'm at for the next few months:
DRAINLAND are essentially going into hiding for an extended period of time to write an album and let everyone else get on with other things they want to do. There are a couple of split 7"s out with Enabler and Crows shortly (I'll post ordering details for both shortly), and one planned with Column of Heaven, but otherwise it'll probably be the end of this year at earliest before the album emerges. There may be some local shows in March with Crows, otherwise no gigs are planned for the year, and touring is extremely unlikely in any capacity until 2013.
PRISON: Glutton by shamelesscrimes
PRISON will have two tapes out hopefully before summer that I'm surrently working on:"Shortcuts to Nowhere" and "Internal Audit". More details about these when I have them finished. No gigs ever.
PRISON CHAPEL are about to break cover. This won't be a regular occurence. 3/4 Drainland, 1/4 Zom, if you're asking. Possible split release later in the year. If we decide to write more songs. And by "write more songs" I mean "rip off more Deep Wound and Siege riffs".
Solo stuff is always ongoing, and is becoming of increasing focus to me (partially because I've been enjoying it most of my various musical endeavours, and partially because it's easier to work on music alone from my living room obviously) . I've felt more of a compulsion to do this than any of the other bands/projects I'm involved in over the last while, and am happy enough with the results to properly let other people hear it I guess. I've started organising it into little "chapters" via the bandcamp thing, so there's an album, an ep, and a track from a split cd-r with Cloudeater that's due out at some point this year. A short run tape version of "Prayers" will be out in March/April with some extra tracks. Another album-length tape is in the pipeline for summer. As uncomfortable as I am with playing live, I'm considering giving it another try this spring.Though not til I'm fully prepared and am 100% sure my gear won't crap out on me like last time. So in the unlikely event that anyone fancies having me show up with a guitar and some pedals and play some noodly bollocks for 15 minutes or so , hit me up at pentagrimes@gmail.com
In other news,I've also been providing source recordings for something involving Brian Conniffe, so something may come of that soon. And there is a vague plan involving participating in a project with some good friends in the UK. I should probably start looking at flights and sort that out.
