Travelers,

Welcome back to another update from the Kardaboys! As always, thank you all so very much for your continued support! Today we’re sharing the first 6 melodic ideas for the next album and revealing some shop decisions along with life updates from each of the DUDES.

Sonic Landscape

In the past month or so, I’ve been pretty busy with Liminal Rite and moving in with my father but I had some time to jam some new ideas and expand on existing melodies. Let me know what you think of the new stuff. 🙂 Everything is work in progress, so tell me what you hate. haha

Merch and the Shop

We’re moving away from offering “everything always” to a more curated, time sensitive shop that favors limited-time designs and seasonal apparel. If you or anyone you know is interested in merch and design, please contact me or send them my way so we can collaborate! I’d love to bring someone on board to help me curate our merch for seasons and themes.

We’ll be archiving all designs released before Liminal Rite starting August 1st, so if you or a friend or a Reddit forum are interested in these designs/products, please grab them before August 1st as I will be archiving them after that.

Alunea

Alright, let’s chat about Alunea really quick. Mark is a busy guy; soon to be dad and he’s working on Alunea and Chapter of Atlas in his available, creative, time. It’s not often, but he’s making progress with it slowly. As of right now we have some grandiose plans to have two versions of the next album. 1 in English and 1 in Alunea. It’s a MONUMENTAL undertaking but we’re working on the logistics of the music for now. However we’re also working on the dictionary for Alunea which is ever-expanding. More on that in the Discord under the #Alunean-Constructor thread.

Karda-dudes updates

As for the boys, we’ve been in our own worlds for the past few weeks, not really communicating as we’re in a sort of break from the release and press of Liminal Rite. For a few weeks there I was doing 3-5 interviews a day and the boys were filling in for me when they had time.

I, Nico, have been moving my life from one side of Phoenix to another since I’ll be moving in with my father to help take care of him in his old age. That left me some time to film/record/create/stream but it’s a bit in the air right now. I hope that starting in August we’ll be back up and swinging.

Mark’s 34th birthday is tomorrow and you all should make a public post about it! Wish him a happy 34th year on this fungus infested rock traveling through space and make his day a little brighter. 🙂 He’s going to be a dad starting in October and I’m not sure what his time/commitments will look like, but we’ve got a little more time with him for now.

Alex has been well, writing bass and releasing a new record with Holy Fawn which you can pick up here. I pre-ordered the Green/Black splatter variant. 🙂 He’ll be coming over on Friday to write some bass for the new demos so, look forward to that!

Sean has been a bit MIA since our last meeting and it’s to be expected with the distance between us, but he’s just a DM away. 🙂 I have a meeting with him next Wednesday to talk about some drums and marketing stuff. 🙂 I’ll let you know how he’s doing!

  • The intro to track 3 sounds like it is sung by the singer of leporous with old kshev instramentals!

  • Track 3 is my favorite!

    • TheMetalWanderlust

      Agreed. Though track 2 has some really nice moments. Track 5 reminds me of Cocteau Twins. I’d really love to hear where that one goes.

  • Oooooooohhh we working on continuing the Kent-Mythos? (his name is Kent right?) Track 3 is giving me goosebumps!

  • A

    Ninja update: If you can take some time to review the ETP product on our shop it’d mean a whole lot to us! 😀 Thank you!
