Ancient Warlocks Complete Work on New Album II
Well, my growing list of albums to look forward to in the New Year gets another name added to it today with the word come down that Seattle’s Ancient Warlocks have handed in the masters for their next full-length to NJ-based STB Records, who’ll be handling the release early in 2016. No word on whether Lay Bare Recordings, which did a European pressing to complement STB‘s award-winning US run of Ancient Warlocks‘ 2014 self-titled debut (review here), will be involved in what’s been revealed as being titled II, but it looks like we have a few months before we get to the release, so plenty of time to find out.
In the interim, STB is also overseeing a final pressing of that self-titled LP, dubbed the “Funeral Press” and boasting revamped artwork and other extras. The band recently gave some details and posted a live clip of a song called “Seven Eight” which will appear in some reworked fashion on II. Here goes:
YES! It’s official!!!
The mastered audio tracks have been turned over to STB Records for the Ancient Warlocks II LP! There will be an STB Records “Funeral Press” of the 1st LP very soon, with some new goodies, and then there will be a release of the 2nd LP in early 2016. Cheers!
The “Funeral Press” of the “s/t” debut LP will be coming out on STB Records soon. It will feature a new layout, pullout poster, flexi single, download code, and more! After that, the Ancient Warlocks II LP will be coming out!!! 7 new songs! So… to give you a little taste of some of the new stuff while we’re all waiting, here is a live at Big Sound Productions video by Chris Mathews Jr. (Joonior Studios). This song is called “Seven Eight”, and a different recorded version of this song will be on the 2nd LP. Cheers!
