We have arranged a few special shows to celebrate the release of our new album Victory & Defeat! Our schedule is as follows:
11/30 – Seattle, WA @ The Rabbit Box with Nesting, Medina/Walsh
12/2 – Victoria, BC @ Rebel Company Garage with Funerary Call
12/3 – Vancouver, BC @ The Heatley with Tithe, The Nausea
Victory & Defeat is a journey through a world in turmoil manifesting itself in 10 songs of unrest, esoterica, and a dark determination with a few promises of peaceful release. Spanning haunting dirges, dark folk, melodramatic pop, and epic swells of faithless calls to the deep; the record is the next chapter in the Headstone Brigade saga.
