THE TENTH STAGE - NEWS ::
Dear Friends,
1 New Album
We have been very busy in the studio finishing off our 2nd album, titled GRAND GUIGNOL. We have finalised the artwork and we will be getting the CD's printed up within the next fortnight. There will be 15 tracks on this CD and includes a lovely full colour 8 page booklet.
2 New Remix CD
As if a new album isnt enough, we will also be releasing a remix CD, titled TALES FROM THE CASKET. This contains remixes from people all round the globe (Einar Ihle, Angelspit, Dave Foreman, Angeltheory and Parralox). It also contains a few tracks that didn't make it onto the 2nd album, as well as unreleased tracks from the first album.
3 New Merchandise
We have just printed some posters that reflect the new artwork for the album, and they look amazing. We also have some limited run badges available, as well as T-Shirts.
4 EXCLUSIVE 10% DISCOUNT ON PRICE OF NEW ALBUM
We will be offering a special discount on the purchase of the CD/EP or CD/EP/Poster to our members. This means you can grab our new releases at a 10% discounted price, and we will send you the link to make your purchases next week.
This offer is only for people who have subscribed to the mailing list - we will send you a code which you use when making your purchase.
5 Sneak preview of the Cover Artwork

So.....lots of exciting developments!
Unfortunately, due to the amount of time we have spent on the new album we have had to delay the Melbourne Launch Party. We plan on having a Launch sometime in July 2008.
Regards,
John & Roberto
