Trail Of Dead find Thyme to release new EP

…And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead are to release an EP in preparation for their new album due January next year. Titled Festival Thyme it is due out on October 21st in the US on the band’s own Richter Scale imprint for Justice Records, with Superball Music handling the groups releases in the UK and Europe. The EP will be released in digital and CD formats and there will also be a special picture disc 10″ for the US only, the vinyl will replace a song from the other formats with a cover of the Replacements ‘Within Your Reach’. ‘Bells Of Creation (Machete Mix)’ is apparently from the new album (in a different mix, obviously).

CD/MP3 tracklist:
1) Bells Of Creation (Machete Mix)
2) Inland Sea (EP Edit)
3) Festival Thyme
4) The Betrayal Of Roger Casement & The Irish Brigade

As you can see from the track titles they are keeping things suitably pompous, we can only hope for more of the over the top prog pretensions they have been specially dealing in with their last two albums.
