Hello Friends,

We’ve been hard at work the past couple of months and wanted to give you a quick update of our progress.

New CD!

Hopefully you have been following along with the photos and updates we’ve posted on our web site, Facebook and Twitter but in case you didn’t know, all of the drum tracks are finished for the new CD and we’re currently working on tracking guitars and bass. Things are coming together nicely and we can’t wait to get it all done so we can share it with you. As of right now things are looking good for an end of year/early 2011 release. We will let you know as soon as we have an official date pinned down. We put together a little sneak preview video for you so head over to our website to check it out:

Update on Vic

We also wanted to give an update on our Bassist Vic regarding his medical progress.  If you read from our last newsletter, Vic had to have emergency surgery on his lower back which left him paralyzed from the waist down and was given a 50/50 chance of ever recovering.  In the four months since,  we’re happy to inform you that Vic has made a remarkable recovery so far in the wake of his medical scare.  He has regained a lot of feeling and strength in his lower abs and legs, and is now able to drive and walks with a cane!  Though he’s not out of the woods yet as far as recovery goes, his progress has been remarkable and he’s optimistic of a full recovery.

What is Old is New

Many people haven’t had a chance to hear our first EP/Album ‘Drifting Down’. We released it all the way back in 2004 and only made a few hundred copies. We’re happy to announce that it is now available on our site to listen to and purchase in digital format for only $5! You can also get ‘Destined to be Damned’ for $5 too! You can listen to the full tracks for both albums right from our site and buy them directly from us thanks to bandcamp.com. You have a choice of a bunch of audio formats from regular old mp3 to high quality uncompressed CD quality audio. In addition to the music we have spruced up the web site a little bit – explore it and let us know what you think. Expect a whole new experience to when the new album comes out!

Share, Share, Share

Please feel free to copy and share our music with your friends and fellow music lovers, that is really the best way to help spread the word on our music. Please forward this email to anyone you think would be interested and send them to our site so they can sign up for email updates too. Check out all the links below too to add us on Facebook, Twitter and Myspace too so we can keep in touch with you there too!

We expect a lot more updates for you over the next few months as the album nears completion and release. We can’t wait to get out and play some shows!

Talk to you soon,

Asyst
