…Well, I’m stoked they’re releasing a CD via The Obelisk‘s new label venture, The Maple Forum, that is. I’m not releasing a CD of myself.

Not yet, anyway.

Anyhoozer, Seattle‘s Roareth are getting ready to hit the studio to record Acts I-VI next week with Pacific Northwest madman of doom Tad Doyle, and as the dude helping to release the album, I couldn’t be more psyched for the outcome. If the demo tracks I heard were any indication, we’re all in for a treat around these parts. Roareth guitarist Aaron D.C. Edge thinks so too. Here’s what he had to say about it:

“We are so excited to be working The Maple Forum for our first recording. Our band loves the idea of small, limited pressings and JJ (from the label) is so supportive and knowledgeable of heavy music… it’s a perfect fit for our band, our union. Of course, before getting signed, we were already scheduled to document Acts I-VI with the legendary Tad. He is a kind and extremely talented human, we get along so well with him and are pleased to have him turning knobs on our release. It will be a crushing set of songs for sure!”

Good news all around. And in case you didn’t know, Aaron also handled the album’s art and does killer design work. You can check out his graphic-type wares at his beardly-tentacled website. Acts I-VI is due out next month, and rest assured, I’ll have more news about it before then. Maybe even some audio if the band lets me get my grubby mitts on it…
