witness the conflagrations
of these, the last days
when fire came from
the sky and the ash
looked like the first snow
of our last winter

in the distant baying
the cries of confusion,
chaos, pandemonium

yet you stood still on a hilltop
at peace, serene, easy
aglow in the fires’ light
saying farewell to this
and that madness

::: next up: the delayed t shirts. the THINE SAVING GRACE (SBC - 018) t shirts are done and ready to ship but it wasn't enough to just get them done and shipped. there was the great idea of making a limited ep and shipping it for free with every t shirt order. so now the t shirts are delayed so i can finish and ship the ep. (more on the ep below.) as it stands simple box construction has two extra medium size t shirts and they are first come first serve. so get in touch if you want one of them. if there are no takers then they will be posted in the simple box construction shop.



::: the surprise ep that is to be shipped with the t shirts is called: THE NIGHT OF OUR SORROW HAS FALLEN, WE REMAIN WITHOUT LIGHT IN OUR EYES (SBC - 019). it is titled after one of the tracks from the forthcoming A DEATH CINEMATIC full length album (more below). other tracks on the ep are: DEATH FOR AERONAUT, the 24 minute single take/ single track recorded practice session for the first A DEATH CINEMATIC live show. And an older unreleased track, THE BLACK CLOUD AND THE HERO'S HEART, which was originally going to be on the next album but was cut because it no longer fit thematically. this ep is strictly limited to an edition of 25 copies with more than half going to t shirt orders, the rest will be available from the simple box construction shop once all orders have shipped. THE NIGHT OF OUR SORROW... ep will be housed in a hand bound sleeve featuring photography, artwork, and typed chipboard cover. more info and preview images to come. facebook followers can preview production photos here. take a listen to DEATH FOR AERONAUT here.




::: and now a few words about the next A DEATH CINEMATIC full length album titled ...AND THE BIRDS OF DEATH... (SBC - 020). production has begun on the packaging and tracks for this album. this will be the most ambitious simple box construction release for A DEATH CINEMATIC thus far. without giving too much away just yet but the album will be housed in custom hand made wooden trays. more information and production preview photos can be viewed on the A DEATH CINEMATIC facebook page.




::: in addition to all this simple box construction is finishing up the A PARABLE... (SBC - 007) edition and THE NEW WORLD (SBC - 011) and PRELUDE TO THE NEW WORLD (SBC - 012) editions. other editions and projects that were on hold will be revived and look for some exclusive track and artwork contributions to zines and other publications. as well as some split and collaborative projects. thank you for reading and until next time, diy or die.
