It's been a while since I gave an update, which rest assured is only because I have been exceptionally busy working on the forthcoming Candles EP (which may become The Damned EP, dependent on how I feel about it once it is done I guess). I can shed further light on the release.
The EP will feature three tracks, which are confirmed as:
1. Lighting Candles in the Church of the Damned (with Kate Rogers) - a new mix of the track, specially for this release.
2. A Poisoned Chalice - a previously unreleased track - expect some brassy elements on this one - courtesy of a very talented guest.
3. Mind Over Matter - a remix of an older track - featuring the mesmerising voice of another very talented guest.
After the Candles / Damned EP, The Lost Ark has a couple of other dark harbours to dock at, before we leave Erebus. These will be:
The penultimate stop: The Discovery parts 1 & 2 - including a new version of part 1, I expect.
& finally: Five Rivers - most definitely a new version of this one.
Echoes of Erebus may still haunt future releases from time to time too, given that tracks like The Sentinel, Demos Oneroi and Last Scene could also easily have headlined releases. It does however feel like time for this old Ark to move on from the darkness and onto the next phase - which may or may not be the final Lost Ark album - again dependent on how I feel about it at the time. I can absolutely say for certain that as long as I am still drawing breath, I fully intend to complete one more album at the very least. The story would not be finished without it and indeed the long overdue continuation of the Flight from Erebus story must also be resumed too.
So lots more exciting / downright odd musical shenanigans to come, basically!
