The Violent Pre-Order Package is officially SOLD OUT. We are completely blown away, thank you, thank you, thank you. Your support is in turn allowing us to continue making music that is exciting to us. That happened a lot quicker than we anticipated.

There is still a digital download pre-order available on iTunes.

Violent is now available for pre-order. The creation of the album was a process that ultimately took three years and who knows how many hours. In a way, it seems bizarre to be nearing the release of such a thing so vast in our memory, yet summed up in ten songs. And so we decided that there was merit in trying to connect the music listener to more of the backend of the album, to more of what went on during the formative days.

This is it. The Violent Deluxe Pre-Order Package. The package includes:
Violent on vinyl — 180 gram, clear vinyl, includes digital download of the album
Violent on CD
Demos Cassette — 40 minutes of demos, stems, and cutting room floor
Criticism DVD — Previously unreleased live videos and footage from the road, Making Of Violent, Magic House short film
14 prints on cardstock — A very candid look into the life around Violent
B-Sides — Digital download of Friends Around and Kingdom Cayne
Baptism single  — available immediately upon order

Buyers of the pre-order package will receive a digital version of Violent with b-sides on June 4th. The entire package ship date is dependent on vinyl production completion date.

As of today, the album is also available for pre-order on iTunes in Canada and US.

Last night I met the drummer from Said The Whale! He’s the nicest guy on earth!
