Yes folks, the rumours are true- I'm leaving LA. It's been a long hard decision coming to this, but it's for the best. I'm heading back to Connecticut this summer, but not without saying goodbye in true Heathen Fashion!

We're having two farewell shows- one for our Brothers and Sisters up in Fresno, and one here at home at the Steel Pit in Tujunga. Saturday, May 16th we travel north to Fresno, where we are playing a house concert at 7pm at 3323 E Dakota Ave, Fresno, on Dakota, Between First and Millbrook. This is all ages, and we're asking a $6 donation at the door with proceeds going to support Fresno Pagan Pride. (And to pay for Hauk's gasoline. Please note- this is a donation- no one will be turned away for lack of funds.)

Then, on June 6th, we lay seige on last time to the Steel Pit in Tujunga, 7279 Foothill Blvd, Tujunga, CA. This is all ages, and Free. Bring everyone you can for one last night with Hauk, Chris, Boyd, and Duke rocking hard, fast, and furious! We've got a few special treats lined up for this show, plus a few special guest, so be there! Show starts at 8pm- come come out early for Beers with the Boys!

Just finished a good recording session with Boyd- he laid down lead and rhythm parts for three new songs- "Green", "City of Fallen Angels", and "The Ghost of Johnny Cash."

Hot damn, that boy can play some mean guitar! Killer solos, killer leads.

Still got a few more songs to track before we start mixing. Still hoping for a May/June release, but we'll see how it goes. Either way- we're making good progress, and having a lot of fun doing it.

Also- April 4th, we'll be at the Steel Pit. Come on out for some beers!

Hail all!

Just a quick update- we're hard at work on our new album. Some song titles currently include "Green", "City of Fallen Angels", "Love Song #9", "Raise the Dead", and "Gasoline". It's shaping up to be a mostly acoustic album, but we'll definitely have some ass kickers in there.

In other news- we will be at Pantheacon - 11pm Headline concert on February 14th! Be there!

More news soon...

Clio of All Access Magazine has reviewed Hauk's performance at The Steel Pit in Tujunga! Read it here: www.allaccessmagazine.com/vol6/issue21/hauk.html

If you haven't already picked up a copy of our new EP "To Hear the Trumpets Call," we have it on Itunes, Rhapsody, Napster, and a bunch of other digital download stores - including the new store Amie Street. As a special offer, Amie Street is giving $5 in free downloads to anyone who registers, which is more than enough to get the entire Trumpets EP. Just got to http://amiestreet.com/_l/tunecore for all the details. We don't endorse any of the providers, but this does look like a legitimate way to get our music for free, and the band still gets paid, so check it out.

Hail!
Our new EP "To Hear the Trumpets Call" has been officially released!

Tracklisting is as follows:

1. To Hear the Trumpets Call
2. Love Song #4 (Burn Rome)
3. Lamentation
4. Raven Wings (Thrashing Ravens Mix)

Two Brand new songs! A rerecorded Metal version of the classic Lamentation, and a stunning remix of Raven Wings! Don't miss it! Order it here!

Good news! After a brief chat with Eric, the mighty owner of the Steel Pit, the cover charge for the show on August 9th has been dropped! It's now free!

And if that weren't enough, we are pleased to announce that www.haukmusic.com is back up and running! Check it out, let us know what you think!

We are currently mixing a 3 song EP follow up to our triumphant album "No Mercy for the Slain." We'd been talking about rerecording Lamentation, to capture our live electric version of the acoustic classic from "Love Songs.." and this was the right time. We've paired it up with two brand new songs, "To Hear the Trumpets Call" and "Love Song #4 (Burn Rome)." Look for this to be out in August!

7/3/2008
Finally, after much hard work, we are thrilled to announce "No Mercy for the Slain" is available at iTunes! Mp3s are also onsale at Napster, Rhapsody, and Amazon Music, so go forth and download! We'll have the new EP up there as soon as it's finished, and we hope to also have "Love Songs..." and "Hard Lemonade" up as well. Find it here.

As further proof that we can't stop bringing new music, we've already started writing a new full length album. This one is looking to be more straight forward hard rock/heavy metal with that distinctive Hauk flair. Less fiddles and pipes, more guitars, but with enough Heathen energy to shake the very Gates of Hel! We'll probably start tracking this fall.
