Read their awesome, super in-depth review of AVOHFASIH here.

When someone really listens, scrutinizes, and combs through your album like this, it just feels like a giant compliment regardless of the final "score" or whatever. Thanks to anyone who does this with not only our album, but every new piece of music you get. Don't let art pass in and out of your life, allow it to impact you, and if it doesn't, KEEP SEARCHING.

doing something right.

Hey everyone,
well, since the last post, the record has been unleashed and slowly making its way across the world. We have had orders coming from all over the earth, including Japan, France, Canada, Columbia, Colombia, Israel, the UK, etc etc, so that has been incredibly cool to see! We thank all of you fans abroad to for paying the extra few bucks in shipping! We tried to keep the cd to the lowest price possible for everyone. 
 Anyway, one of those righteous fans happened to send us an email the other day, and we just thought that was pretty cool, so I thought we'd post that email (we omitted his name, just in case he doesn't want to be on our shitty website! hahaha)

Hello Orwell

I've successfully received your album the other day and I must say I'm thoroughly impressed by the whole thing (package and the music).
It's a very unique CD and I'm keeping the words of appreciation with the lyrical book. I must admit it touched me deeply to see an artist to be so appreciative. It makes me wish I had paid so much more for your CD (I'm a student who just moved, fucking ouch) because it would be totally worth it.
I'll definitely be buying a t-shirt if you guys ever release one and I hope to see you guys live at the other side of the pond, as you guys put so eloquently.
My copy of AVOHFASIH is the most prized possession of my 2000+ albums counting musical collection. You guys can be proud!
Keep up the good work guys! I'll see about writing a review for the album and posting it on Sputnik Music when I feel I can do it justice.

Kindest regards of a new fan,

So that was cool to read and kind of demonstrates the overall reaction we have received to the packaging and the physical album. Hopefully other bands take note and realize that if you truley put your heart into something, people will support it.


Also, I have to note that we were on the cover of La Crosse's alt-news-art-music-scene (like the city pages in other big cities, only cooler ;) paper  yesterday, and that is also incredibly cool to us. We all read and love the second supper, it is a staple of La Crosse Wisconsin, which is a town we all have a deep love and appreciation for, so to be honored on the cover and in the pages of the second supper is pretty fulfilling for us! I haven't had a chance to read to the article yet (as I live 3 hours from LaX) but they always do a great job, so go grab one of these free pieces of awesome.

Lastly, I must apologize for giving a weeks worth of updates in one post. After the album finally dropped and our release shows go under our belts, it was time to take a few days to breath and refocus. That's over though, and it's go time now! haha

As we have asked, and continue to ask, please show everyone you know AVOHFASIH, we are extremely proud of this record and confident that anyone who has at least a tolerance for metal and heavy music can find something within the record. Thank all of you guys so much!!!!

We're Off!

Hey everyone!
Wow, it has been quite a while since the last update on here! Luckily most folk's attention spans allow only for facebook and twitter sized posts, or we'd be in trouble! haha
Anyway, Since the last time we updated this, we began sending the record out to various people of interest for reviews and whatnot, and they are SLOWLY trickling back in!
That being said, check out our 9.5 of 10 rating and review over at: http://www.nefariousrealm.com/reviews/orwell-avohfasih-kc.html


Also, check out the cover art for the album! WOAH!
We "secretly" released it to the reviewers, and gave them the thumbs up to post it. So anyway, it's official, below is the cover for AVOHFASIH. We think you'll be pleasantly surprised when you actually see the full packaging but this should tide you over for now.

Also, while we're on artwork, we have more! Below you will find the cover for our upcoming split single CASSETTE tape with the mighty SHROUD OF DESPONDENCY. Whew, A brand new Orwell track paired with some insanely good black metal, and all on a cassette tape? Are we nuts, or is this a really cool item? To make it even COOLER, we will be giving it away FOR FREE to the first 25 people to visit our merch booth at the next 2 shows we are playing (july 14 - Marquette MI, Uptown, July 15 - Wausau WI, Kruse Inn - facebook.com/orwellwi for full details) along with an original piece of art by our singer Logan! To recap: that's a free limited edition cassette (50 being made) and a free art poster (not print, actual PAINT! also only 50 being made!) all for the price of a show! Which in Marquette is FREE, and only $2 here in Wausau!

Alright, enough talking, stay on this page, bookmark it, add it to the homescreen on your iphone, whatever, MORE TO COME!
