The Funeral Pyre announce release date

Los Angeles-based, THE FUNERAL PYRE have announced June 8, 2010 as the release date for their new album, "Vultures At Dawn," the follow up to their 2008 album, "Wounds." "Vultures At Dawn," was recorded by Adam Campbell at Awkward Studios, mixed by Ryan Butler (Landmine Marathon, Misery Index, Phobia) at Arcane Digital and was mastered by Dave Shirk (Incantation, Nile, Today Is The Day) of Sonorous Mastering. Artist Justin Barlett (Trap Them, Sunn0))), Intronaut) is handling the album's artwork.

The band commented, on the sound of the new record: "On this record we stepped out of our comfort zone and tried to create better songs, never focusing on what style of metal it actually is. Just writing the songs was most important to us."

THE FUNERAL PYRE, has a run of west coast shows starting tomorrow with EARLY GRAVES, who they'll do two shows with, before meeting up with label-mates, LIGHT THIS CITY on their farewell run of shows. The band, no stranger to the DIY metal scene with several US tours under their belt, just completed a batch of dates to Texas and back with LANDMINE MARATHON, which included Prosthetic's South By Southwest showcase on March 17th in Austin and a Brooklyn Vegan SxSW day party at Hoek's Death Metal Pizza.
