🔥 Rehearsal has resumed 🔥
Feb 16, 2024
After a long hiatus, we resumed rehearsals last night. It was the first time the full band got together since spring 2022, if I remember correctly. We played some new songs from Legacies of Frailty -- the first time a full band had played them. My first time playing guitar and doing vocals for them as well! We're quite excited to perform these live.
We'll have some show announcements soon. Also some new merch. Looking forward to dominating 2024.
