Christian Rock OBSESSION

An update?  What is this, you ask?  Every once in a while I’ll post a few tidbits of news regarding the current state of your favorite artists, and put them all in one post such as this one?  Sound familiar?  I haven’t done one of these in forever.  So…

To start, Deas Vail’s newest self-titled album is out today.  And if that doesn’t get you excited, the fact that it’s only $3.99 on Amazon MP3 might.  I have no idea how long that deal will last, though, so you may want to hurry.  The album was produced by Relient K’s Matt Hoopes, and it’s pretty sweet.  Still a bit early to say anything definitive, but I’m definitely liking what I’m hearing.  Link up here.

Now, this one is a bit interesting.  The Devil Wears Prada has announced something called Zombie Slay: The Game.  Today they launched the official website, on which you can find several links and this description:

Did you know there’s a zombie apocalypse upon us?! Prepare for it with Zombie Slay. Be the hero that rises from the darkness as you traverse realistic city and surburban landscape to save other survivors from disgusting, evil creatures that have overtaken the earth.

To keep your momentum up while fighting against the undead,  you’ll need some serious tunes — so enjoy your personal metalcore soundtrack while you destroy approaching zombies with a simple swipe of your finger. Your temperature is sure to rise as zombies crowd your screen, but get excited — the more you kill, the more features you unlock!  Awesome weapons, much needed armor and different environments become available with more play.

Zombie Slay is more than a game, it’s preparation for the inevitable zombie invasion!

Compete with your friends and foes using OpenFeint and Game Center integration! Zombie Slay is supported on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.

Lastly, Showbread has announced the title of their next album, which is in the works.  It is currently being titled Cancer.  No joke.  The band will be headed off to Europe in a few weeks, but expect some more announcements on that in the near future (hopefully)!
