The Roareth CD, Acts I-VI, is at the plant. The artwork has been turned in, I mailed out the master, and unless there’s some tragedy there, it will arrive shortly and at long last The Maple Forum will have its first release. I know I’m excited, I know the band is excited, and I hope […]
…And here’s the flyer for the show: Never let it be said The Maple Forum doesn’t know how to promote its bands.
I got a wav file yesterday of the 45-minute long track that is Acts I-VI by Roareth, and… wow. God damn that’s heavy. It’s like they took sludge and put it through a black hole. Fucking vicious. I can’t wait for everyone to hear it. Kudos to the band and to Tad Doyle for the […]
