News From Mend Livestream

For those who couldn’t make the livestream, here are some important news you may be interested in:

  • They’re hoping to plan a double album tour towards the latter half of this year or early next year. Originally a Mend tour was scheduled for early this year but was canceled due to Andrew becoming a dad (congrats!)

  • They’re hoping to tour more places. Nothing promised or confirmed, but India, SEA, Japan, Australia were among the countries/regions mentioned

  • A double album release for Eviscerate + Mend is in the works and will contain reimagined version of certain tracks. The reimagined tracks will be in the style of the other record, so it’ll be 2 Eviscerate tracks in the style of Mend (likely He who ties the strings acoustic, Sergio also joked about doing Fistful of Hornets acoustic), and 2 Mend tracks in the style of Eviscerate (no idea which ones)

  • TGGE re-recording will happen, at first they thought about re-recording only 7 songs, but someone (who’s name I fail to remember) said that they might as well do the whole album. There’s no estimate to when it might come out though.

  • There’s likely to be another Eidola release at the end of this year or early next year (could be either of the above, or an independent single).

  • Expect Mend and The Architect Instrumentals at some point in the future

  • The graphic novel that was mentioned in Andrew’s interview with Warped Taste Podcast is confirmed and in the works

  • Eidola won’t be at swanfest this year (and frankly Andrew will be on life support doing 2 sets in a day)

  • Not really Eidola related, Will Swan called Andrew during the stream, and leaked the name of a new DGD song called Gingivitis, which is completely different from the DGD style apart from the chorus

  • Andrew wants to make Eidola dice

  • Gloop

Feel free to let me know if I missed anything.
