We have played 21 shows in 2012 from our record release show in Tempe February 10 to our most recent December 5. We have shared the stage with 60 + bands during this cycle, the shows can be found here: http://seas-will-rise.blogspot.com/p/shows.html
We took a week long trip up to Portland and back in early March, played around our home of Arizona more than we ever have, and made several small jaunts out to southern California. From the basements in Portland and record shops in Salt Lake to the Glasshouse Theater in Pomona, we met a billion kind and gentle souls that share the same desire/ fire that we posses to continue to do what ever it is we are doing.
We look forward to meeting up with you all again and to hopefully meet some new friends, 2013 will see less Seas Will Rise live (quality over quantity) but that isn't by any means a break or a slight on the shows we played in 2012, more to do with time management and our effort to write and record some sort of follow up to Disease is Our Refrain.
Speaking of which, we released our full length record in 2012 on Anxiety Machine Records and Man In Decline Records and digitally thru the Audiosiege imprint on Moshpit Tragedy Records. Audiosiege also did the mastering for our record, and did a bang up job. They also had a huge year, releasing remasters of High on Fire and Sleep and mastering and mixing tons of new releases, as well as welcoming a new member to their immediate family, congrats Brad and welcome Wesley.
Our record was recorded at Arcane Digital Recording with is ran by Ryan Butler of Landmine Marathon, who this year played some sorta of mega festival hosted by some big time recovering addicts, as well as welcomed a new singer to the fold. Krysta killed it and we look forward to more good things from Team Landmine.
We also welcomed a new member, Dominic joined in July and has been a great addition to our band.
With out the contributions of Chad Knapp, this band wouldn't be where it is, ascetically/musically and we look forward to his new projects as they develop. Check out his art work here and look out for new music from him coming down the line.
While this isn't a completely compressive list, because we ask and ask and we receive so much, the following peoples have been stand outs in support of our band and we wish to acknowledge them more then others, but know we appreciate ALL your help:
Mark and Anxiety Machine Records
Dominic and Sherise at Man In Decline Records
