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!
