Good/ Bad

Another three months past and I'm finally happy to say we have some exciting updates. First, I will go ahead and tell the bad news. Due to member changes and not having the lenient work/ school schedules we hoped for, we will NOT be playing Forward Ohio Fest 2012. We are very sorry to anyone who was planning on catching our set this year and we'd like to send a special thanks out to Ray for inviting us to play. It will be a great fest and we encourage everyone to go see our friends in Raindance and Code Orange Kids, as well as all the other great bands that are on the bill.

Following an apology for, yet again, another cancellation...
We plan to make it up to Ray and everyone in late July/ early August. We are planning an east coast tour and will be playing almost a months worth of dates from MS, ME, to FL. A rough route is posted below and if you'd be interested in helping with a show, please email us at seraphimms@live.com

After careful consideration, we have decieded to team up with Dim Light Records from Miami, Fl who will be releasing the Waste EP on Cassette Tape. Growing up in the late 80s and  90s, I collected many Classic Rock cassettes from the Beatles to ZZTop so i'm excited to release this EP on Tape. Dim Light Records will also be working with our label mates Full Of Hell so check out their blog. Not only will this be a Seraphim release, this will aslo be a split release with our alter ego, Glass Rivers. Glass Rivers is our Experimental Indie Rock side project and this cassette will serve as our first release of our untitled 6 song EP. These will be limited to 100. We plan to only have 40 on the summer tour and are looking to release them in June. Updates on a specific release date soon.

A new year brings new fears

Hello all, we haven't been very active since we returned from Europe and I apologize for not updating. We were busy with family for the holidays and going through changes, as well as focusing on other music projects. The European tour with Pulling Teeth was an absolute success and we'd like to send a special thanks out to them as well as everyone who supported. If you haven't heard, Pulling Teeth will unfortunately be playing their FINAL SHOW on January 21st in Baltimore at this years A389 Records Bash, along with Eyehategod, Integrity, Gehenna, Megrudergrind, Full Of Hell and many more. See the whole line up at http://www.a389records.com/

We are looking forward to 2012. Our only planned show at the moment is April 21st Forward Ohio Fest. We'll have more details on that soon. The line up is full of great bands so we are looking forward to it. We will begin planning a tour around that date soon so look out for more shows in April. The writing process will continue as always and we are expecting an exciting new addition the Seraphim family in March. You may have seen rumours around the net. That info will be announced soon as well. Last but not least, we hope to see most of the US, Canada, Europe and hopefully Austrailia or Japan this year.

She was my heart and there will never be another person to exist that will mean as much to me. Here is the artwork for the album and each individual song artwork:

Updates...

Tour canceled

Sad but true. In the middle of our south eastern tour, our drummer was dealing with severe pain in his back from an inflamed disc. His doctor advised us to come home immediately so he could recieve the proper medical attention. He will be seeing a specialist this week and hopeful be well soon.

Waste EP

The Waste Ep is still set to be released on September 16, 2011. September 16 is a very special date to me (Brian) because it is my Grandmother's birthday that recently passed away this past May. We have uploaded a preview song on our bandcamp. It's the acoustic version of Without A Soul, feel free to head over and enjoy your listen. We look forward to getting these songs in circulation to the public so please help us spread the word. Artwork is still pending.
