I wasn’t anticipating any snags from the press, but you never know, so it’s with some measure of relief that I report that the Blackwolfgoat full-length, Dronolith, is in-house and that it looks great. The digipak is the same style as the Roareth, for anyone who picked that up, but sturdier and glossy, and with the Alexander Von Wieding artwork, it looks fantastic. You wouldn’t necessarily expect something called Dronolith to look so classy, but it really does. In short, I’m thrilled. Here’s the final tracklisting:

Blackwolfgoat, Dronolith
1. Building Buildings
2. Ruane
3. Tyche
4. Fear of Stars
5. Event Radius
6. Dronolith

As of now, we’re good to go for the already-noted May 24 release of Dronolith, which is Blackwolfgoat‘s second album and the third release on The Maple Forum (forum030). The pressing is limited to 100 copies, and they’ll be hand-numbered. As with the Kings Destroy record, the first 20 will come with a Thank You card — I might even put them in envelopes this time! — and I have a couple old comps and some other stuff I might throw in as well for anyone who orders.

You’ll be able to buy Dronolith starting on the 24th at the Maple Forum store. I don’t know how to set it up for preorders, otherwise I’d do that and just start shipping them out, but whatever. A little suspense will do you some good, and in the meantime, Darryl Shepard, the lone member of the band, sent over the below video for “Fear of Stars.” It’s as progtastic as it is red. Dig:
