Greetings to all,
We hope you all are having an incredible summer and that you enjoy the remainder of it. It has been an absolutely unbelievable summer for us. We've had the opportunity to literally see the entire country coast to coast as well as Canada. The scenery we've seen along the way has been breathtaking, but even moreso, the people we've had the opportunity to meet, worship with, and fellowship with have made this tour unforgettable. This summer has really been a time of revelation and uncovering in our own lives and for this band.
While this first Temple Veil record is just an EP, it's not just an EP. We took eleven songs into the studio with us in April and wrote another one while we were there. From those twelve songs, working with our producer Tim Neely, we careful chose five tracks to form the EP. We very thoughtfully crafted the tracks to flow together and put loads of work into the orchestration and layering of each song. The songs well express the diversity of our individuality while still flowing together as a coherent unit. These tracks we chose for the EP are a perfect balence of reflecting where we've been, representing where we are, and unveiling where we are going. We feel this will be the best quality release to date of any of our previous musical endeavors.
We all live life together. We share in the same struggles, joys, frustrations, and excitements. The reason we write songs and perform concerts is to unite us all together through music in the realization that none of us are alone. In choosing a title for this EP, we wanted to represent where we are personally and musically as well as where the music on this record takes you. The EP will be titled UnEARTH, a word by definition that means to uncover or bring to light. The songs on UnEARTH uncover who we are as people and musicians as well as bring to light where this Temple Veil journey is taking us. Our hope is that through the music on this EP, each of your hearts will be uncovered before our Maker, the true Light.
All of the mixes for UnEARTH are now complete and the record is currently being mastered by Nathan Dantzler at The Hit Lab in Hollywood, CA. Nathan has mastered many records for many great artists such as Trace Adkins, Audio Adrenaline, Sonic Flood, Tree 63, Reliant K, etc; and we are super stoked to have his expertise in the mastering of this EP. We are also wrapping up the artwork and getting everything ready for pressing. We have already began taking pre-orders at all our live appearances, and a big thanks to all of you who have already pre-ordered. The first single, along with some pre-order packages, will be posted on our sites within the next couple weeks. The release date for UnEARTH has been set for September 21st. We really can't wait to get it into your hands.
We have many stops along the way between now and the September 21st release of UnEARTH, and we also have a lot planned for after the release. While we have some really cool tours in the works, and we're already writing for the full-length, we aren't getting so caught on where we're going that we miss where we are. We are living every day of this amazing journey in Temple Veil to it's fullest and making the most of every moment. We're really looking forward to sharing a lot of moments with you all over the remainder of this tour. All the best!
