The kind of midweek update that just might make the whole thing better, Howling Giant have posted word that they’ve finished recording their next album. Of course that doesn’t mean work on the yet-untitled LP — actually, it probably has a name and they just haven’t said what it is yet; fair enough — is done, as there’s likely still mixing and mastering to go, but the news is still good. Recording is done. On to the next thing.

That’s apparently a couple Twitch live streams before they take off on the East Coast run that will bring them to my hometown, Morris Plains, NJ (actually it’s the west side of Parsippany, but you know how it is with these post offices) as they make their way further north to Hopsmoker Fest in Braintree, MA. New material on the road? Crazier things have happened.

But when I see more on the next record — which has the monumental task of following 2023’s Glass Future (review here), but damn it, I believe in you, Howling Giant — I’ll say more. For now, they posted the following photo and update on socials:

Through flame and shadow, through fatigue and illness, through mountains of zebra cakes and pop tarts, we rise above the crucible of Neil.

Album 3 is tracked! We are beyond excited to show you what we have crafted and captured in just under 200 hours of recording time with the ever patient and wise Neil Tuuri at Amish Electric Chair Studios. Hoping that the stars align and we can share this record with you all later this year.

In the meantime, we’re back to road prep! How does a weekly stream until the April tour sound? See y’all every Thursday at 6PM Central on Twitch 👾
