MARCH? HOW TIME FLIES.

Hello all!

Seeing as we had a massive spike in visitors recently, I thought I better post something so people know we're still here!

That spike might be attributed to Crumbling Ghost having a rather tasty little photo and interview in this months Prog Magazine. For anyone that's interested, I'm the swine with the moustache looking very tall at the back (was actually stood on tiptoes for that, I am a vain bugger I admit it). Get your copy of the album soon as they may actually sell out... then it'll just be digital copies (itunes etc) until we can afford to get more pressed.

Speaking of Crumbling Ghost, the new album is coming along well with the second half due to be recorded in April with a release in the summer. More info as I get it.

Koresh are also hard at work on the follow up to their debut album. Okay, that might not be totally accurate. A better description would be that Koresh have had 'a' practice this year and written 'a' song. But added to the other 6 already written, that makes seven. So that's about 8 minutes. Double that and we have an album!

Dead Existence are going from strength to strength, getting some amazing support slots (including this one) and showing people how it's done.

And rumour has it our old pals Pombagira will be working on a new album soon...

I think that covers everything.

Hugs and Kisses

Witch Hunter Records Sampler!

Yes, that's Witch Hunter Records. Yes it has the same initials as Withered Hand Records. No, I don't mind.

So the 'other' WHR have a shit hot label sampler available with our very own Koresh on there among loads of other fantastic bands I wish I'd had the money to release stuff for!

Do yourself a favour and check it out...


The Coven & Neophytes Vol 1

THEY'RE HERE!!

So the new Dead Existence release is here at WHR!

Seeing as the boys have undercut me on their own site (naughty boys) we've dropped the price to match them. They're also offering an instant digital download when you buy the CD! - Get the feeling they're going to outsell me somewhat :)

Doesn't matter, the money all goes to the same place (to them not me...)!

Get it from the releases page, or over at DE's bandcamp page.

ROLL ON FRIDAY!

Should have the Dead Existence EP's here on Friday! Get those pre-orders in people!

Until then, here's a picture of a cat.

DELAY - Dead Existence EP

Sorry everyone, but there's a delay on the Dead Existence EP. There's a problem at the printers which has delayed everything they're doing by 1 week.

Pre-orders are still open though. CD's will be send by 1st class post the minute we get them through the door.

Cheers

UPDATED!! - WHR010 - Dead Existence

UPDATE!!

Pre-order is now open... check out the releases page! In the meantime, here are the boys in action:



We at Withered Hand (I say 'we', it's like the Royal 'we' as there is in fact only me), are very proud to welcome Dead Existence into the fold for the release of their new EP 'Born into the Planets Scars'.

It's currently with the pressing plant and should be back in time for their gig with Yob at the Purple Turtle on the 10th October. I'll be putting it up on the site shortly for pre-order. Until then, here's a sneak peak at the artwork...

In other news, a cracking review of the Crumbling Ghost album has appeared HERE. The band are currently working on new material for the next album (half has already been recorded), which should see the light of day at some point next year.

Koresh are also busy gigging and writing for the new album (to be recorded in April 2012). Song titles currently been thrown around are: 'Straight-edge 'till Midnight', 'You Can Call Me Ghaal', & 'Adolf Hipster'. Koresh's next gig is at the Purple Turtle on Sunday 16th October, followed by another (third in three months!) gig at the Purple Turtle on the 27th November.
