Their new bass player is a buddy of mine and he told me that the new album is kind of a follow up to Whisper Supremacy with bits of None so Vile and Blasphemy Made Flesh. A 33 minutes blast fest. I guess we'll just wait and see.
We hosted our album on our official web page with a donation option. I thought it was a good idea for an unknown band. The album found its way to blogs and torrents sites ''by itself''.

Shades of Dusk, great band from Montreal. Their new album is coming out October 25th.
My own band, you can download our album for free at http://www.morningless.net
We're pretty much in the same boat. I bought an e-kit 3 years ago and almost never played it because of this. As soon as i move to another apartment, i'll do the tennis ball thing for sure.
