Our brand new record Invicta is FINALLY going to be officially released at midnight tonight. I know that it’s been out there for awhile now and I hope that people are enjoying it, it’s a record that I’m very proud of. If you’ve heard it and are enjoying it, PLEASE spread the word! I can’t tell you how great it is to have a new record out and be able to tour again, I’m glowing like a woman who’s double pregnant! Thank you for all the kind words about the record so far, it means the world to my band and I. Anyways, click the picture(at midnight), get the album and come see us in this beautiful new year!

Check out our video for Earthquake, premiering thanks to the fine goths at Hot Topic! 

Digital Tour Bus did this segment back on our “Manatour” in 2009. They just put it up again, so feel free to time travel.

I keep getting hit up by people who haven’t heard the “Invicta EP” yet, so I’m making it REALLY easy for you right now to listen to it FO’ FREE!  These are 3 songs off of our new album “Invicta” which will be in stores January 31st, 2012.  Check them out, get psyched and come out to the shows to see us!  Pre-orders, awesome new merch and cool bundles for “Invicta” can be found HERE and be on the lookout for new tracks coming at you in the near future! I should also add that we have included a demo of a full band version of “Liars and Cheats” on the physical copy of the “Invicta EP”, which we’ll be selling at shows as well.  I’m sure it’s floating around on the interweb somewhere? Anyways, for those who haven’t heard the stuff: ENJOY!

We’re looking forward to this tour and I’m ESPECIALLY looking forward to playing a nice, fast set and then retreating to the bars to talk to you fine folks! I’m also going to try to convince scene girls that no girl gets to Craig Owens without going through me first to “test the goods.” I’m thinking it will work 20-23% of the time.

ALSO:

We have a headling show THIS SATURDAY HERE:

December 17th in Covington, KY(Cincinnati) at the Madison Theatre 

Then we’re doing a short run with our good friends in Every Avenue and Take Cover that looks like THIS:

And finally, we’ll be playing Valencia’s last show in Philly on the 28th with Every Avenue. Get tickets HERE, and come help sing and cry simultaneously (“scrying”) to the awesomeness that is Valencia.

With all that said, our new record “INVICTA” will be in stores on January 31st, 2012. I can’t fucking wait for it to be out and be on the road playing some new jams for you beautiful people.  You can pre-order the record and get all sorts of sweet bundles from our website, which you can access by clicking on this lovely picture below:

That’s all I’ve got for now. I wish you guys the happiest of holidays, enjoy your friends and family and heck; come out to some shows and give HTL some of your Christmas spirit. Or herpes. Or both?

Love,

Nick
