Music to Die For MySpace page

We’re listening to the mastered tracks now, and if they’re all good, it’ll go off for duplication, and soon to be in your hot little hands.

(So far? We sound FANTASTIC!)

Stay tuned for more info as we get it =)

We should have release info soon, but it won’t be long now =)

We finished recording it about a year ago, and then our label had the idea to have it mixed by some of the best names in the business. Who agreed to donate hours and hours of their very valuable time to have a go at making Reliquary sound good.

Which is an excellent thing! But the process of mixing Path of Hours has proven to be a more exacting and time-consuming task than we realized. That said, we’ve heard several preliminary mixes, and it’s shaping up nicely!

In the meantime, one of the first songs to be finished, Dusk Falls, is on Black Rain’s A Compilation 3, available from various places.

So keep watching this page, or subscribe to the feed, and you’ll be the first to know when the album’s out.

Thanks for your patience!

Reliquary World Tour 2007 Kickoff Show
Tuesday May 15
at Black Coffee@Sub-Culture Cafe
227 E Baseline Road, Tempe
with special guest Screaming Shiva
all ages, bar w/ID
requested donation : $5 (but whatever you feel you can afford)
more info TBA

Compared to recording Winter World, where we tracked our stuff individually, this seems to go much faster and have a much more fluid sort of vibe. I liked it!

I’ve done my very best to make sure that all internal links are updated, but if you see anything strange, please be sure to let me know.

I’m still working on getting all the new show-pictures up, but the Merch page is working and includes the new anime-style shirt, as well as both shirt designs in babydoll style!

Also, we had a photo shoot this weekend, and I hope to have some of our new pics to show you soon.

One last thing: the unfortunate side-effect of changing the back-end is that all user data was lost. I’m trying to re-create user data from other copies, but if you find that you can’t comment, please re-register. I’m sorry for the inconvenience.

Basically, the database that powers 99% of the site is hosed. Rather than try to fix it, which hasn’t worked so far, I’ve created a duplicate of the data and I’ll be nuking reliquary.org from orbit, followed by replacing everything, better than ever.

Things you can look forward to in this new version:

• a new design
• more/newer pics
• an expanded Merch section, with the new shirt design and the babydoll styles

And a back-end that doesn’t make me want to tear my hair out =)

Like mentioning AcidicA, an aggressive industrial band who are not only performing with N17 and The Strand (among others) tomorrow at The Sets, but whose main creative force, Mr AcidicA himself, is also Reliquary’s fabulous live keyboardist and backing guitarist.

And the fact that I’ve gone probably a year without even linking to their site or giving much more than a passing mention is just inexcusable, and I’m sorry that it took an email from the AcidicA Main Squeeze herself to alert me to this sorry state of affairs.

So go check out AcidicA, go to their show on Saturday, and scream for Jay when Reliquary plays (except not tomorrow ’cause he won’t be there, but all other times, absolutely, scream for him, ok?) and please forgive me for this gross oversight.

Hope to see you there!

Updated: We’ll be playing at 3rd Street and Jefferson, in a parking lot there. It looks like we’ll be going on around 8-ish, although I’ll be sure to post any updates as we get them. Not sure where we’ll be playing yet (“with some graffiti artists” is all I know at this moment), but we’ll be sure to let you know when we have more info.

Also, we’ll have some brand-new tshirts! We’ll have a new design (below) and both will be available in both regular and babydoll style!

Also, we are still Italian rockstars! In fact, we’ve moved up two spots to #8. We love you, Italy!

And a huge thank-you to everyone who’s donated so far! We’re overwhelmed and humbled by the generosity of our fans. You’re the reason we’re able to take advantage of this amazing opportunity, and we love you, too!

(Just a reminder, if you’re thinking of donating via PayPal, they’re still adding the bizarre shipping charges, so please plan accordingly. We’ll also have a donation jar at the show tomorrow — please be sure to give us your email address on the sheet next to the jar, if you donate that way. Thanks again!)

You’ll be there, right?

Also, for some reason, PayPal really hates me. It keeps charging shipping on donations, and I’m really sorry, but nothing I’m trying is making that go away. I’ve got an email in to PayPal support, but for the moment, to avoid any nasty surprises, it seems to be tacking on $5 for shipping, so if you’re donating, please be aware of this. At least you can plan to donate $5 less or something =)

Thanks again, and hope to see you tonight!
