Christian Rock OBSESSION

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  This week is just full of awesomeness, if you ask me.  Turkey day tomorrow, a ton of sweet deals the next day, and officially being able to listen to Christmas music without upsetting people for “starting too early.”  And to top it off, here’s an update.

Speaking of Christmas music, Deas Vail will be releasing a four-song Christmas EP titled For Shepherds & Kings on November 29 (next Tuesday).  The EP includes the songs “Do You Hear What I Hear,” “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” “Coventry Carol,” and “O Come, O Come Emmanuel.”  I’m no expert, but I’m thinking they’ll do an awesome job with this.  Also, don’t forget to check out dates for their Christmas tour, which you can find here.

Onto a totally different note, Demon Hunter has announced the release of a deluxe edition of The World Is A Thorn, due out on the same day as Deas Vail’s EP.  It will have one cover song and four acoustic tracks, in addition to the rest of the record.  Hopefully those songs are on iTunes so we all don’t have to buy the album over again, yeah?

For all of you Owl City fans out there, pre-orders for Live From LA begin November 29th as well.  You can pre-order it on iTunes and have it for when it releases digitally the week after, on December 6th.  If you want to wait for a hard copy, set your eyes on February 7th.  It’ll also be on Blu-Ray, if anyone’s interested!  You can watch the trailer by clicking here.

Last (but definitely not least), Five Iron Frenzy has made a pretty big announcement.  They’re back together!!!  And to make things even better, their new album is more than 200% funded, according to Kickstarter.  That is unbelievable.  For more info, click here.

That’s all for now!  Enjoy your turkey!

Here are just a few quick updates.  Enjoy!

Children 18:3 announced recently on their Twitter that record number three is in the works as of this winter.  The band goes into the studio this December to record.  I am beyond excited for this.

New to Tooth & Nail, Blessed By A Broken Heart is releasing a song for free from their upcoming debut, Feel The Power.  The song is called “Deathwish,” and it sounds like a mix of hardcore music and classic rock (?).  You’re going to have to see for yourself.

Speaking of free music, Wavorly is also giving away a free track.  It’s from their new EP (set to release 11-11-11), and you can download it here.  Just click on the triangles when you arrive on the page, and your download will begin immediately.

As with every year, August Burns Red is releasing yet another Christmas single for the holiday season.  They have made a very limited number of vinyl copies of their new Christmas track, “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,” available for purchase, which you can buy here.  The song will be out on November 15th, so keep a look out for it!  Love the artwork!
