Ra is close to inking a deal to release a new live album which will also include 2 or 3 new tracks in addition to 10 live tracks recorded at The Machine Shop in Flint, MI in March 2006. The disc will likely be sold together with a live DVD that the band plans to release in October. The band plans to begin touring in September which will be followed by the recording of their new album, tentatively titled 'Black Sun', which will be released in early 2007.
