The Portraits of Past 11-date tour of Japan in September 2009 was a whirlwind. Without any days off, we slept little and drove nights to venues across Japan to play with some of the hottest contemporary bands of the Japanese underground.
Please check out Matthew's visual interpretation of the trip on Flickr.
The snapshots on this page were taken by Jonah.
We just got back from an 11-date tour of Japan in support of the Japan domestic release of our new EP - Cypress Dust Witch - on Cosmic Note Records.
The CD was sold to fans at our shows, but is still making its way to distros and shops. The mighty Disk Union of Tokyo already has it up for sale.
This is a CD-only (digipack) release in Japan. Art is nearly identical to the US release.
UPDATE: International orders are now available at http://www.excursionsintotheabyss.com/store/ .
We are enthused to announce that our new EP is available for preorder on both CD and vinyl 12" from Excursions Into The Abyss records. Please check http://excursionsintotheabyss.com/ for more info.
I will post more details about the release and distribution next week, when I:m back on a US-English computer and recovered.
cheers!

The festival in Indy should be rather nuts. We will be playing on Saturday night with a handful of new songs.
Portraits of Past will be playing only one show in the States this summer. It will be at Dude Fest in Indianapolis, IN on July 19, 2009.
We will be playing a few more new songs as part of our set!
We had hoped to have the new record out by the time of the show, but we are a tiny bit behind schedule on that.
Come check it out. Big fest, lots of cool bands playing.

I just got back to NYC from a trip to San Francisco for recording purposes. That's right, Portraits of Past will have a new record this year!
Here are a few photos from the studio.
Those of you who saw us play in 2008 heard one of the new songs. We have a few more too.
Rex is engineering and producing the songs, and though it isn't finished yet, the tracks are already sounding really good.
More info to come!
