Our 4th album will be titled 'Diary of the Damned'. Here is a short video revealing the cover art and a sample of the song 'Dawn Ascending' which will be featured on the album. It's coming soon! I promise!! We're working hard to get it done!

Will your new album be available on amazon or soundmass or nordicmission as a physical CD? (as I need to update my wishlist, so folk know what I want for my birthday!!)

It will be on amazon as a digital download as well as Spotify, YouTube Music, 7Digital, etc. CD packages will be available through our website www.evansandstokes.com
We are working out the packages now but some will include custom decals, custom guitar picks, posters, signed photos (signed by BOTH John and Jenny! These photos had to travel literally around the world to get signed!). Also this CD will have a 12 page booklet.
We are super proud of this record and it took an entire year to complete. We want to make sure the packages are really cool.
Jen is singing the last song right now as we speak! Fingers crossed, but we're hoping for a Christmas Eve drop date digitally, and with pre-ordered CDs being delivered by Christmas Eve. Still working out the details but that is the goal.

Sure we can send to the UK. The only issue is that I might not be able to guarantee delivery before Christmas. I only say that because tracking packages sent outside the US is not easy. Within the US i could tell you exactly when it would get there.
I am hopeful that I will have all materials for CD packages in hand next week so I would be able to send with about a 2 week lead of Christmas. We will see.
I think we will be making some announcements this weekend regarding release date, CD Packages, Prices, Pre-orders, etc.
Stay tuned!

Thanks for the support guys. Jen just wrapped the last song yesterday so we should definitely be able to make some announcements soon.
I'm so looking forward to releasing this! It is a really diverse record and it's a musical journey. It's one of those where you should really just set aside an hour, put on your good headphones, sit back and just listen from start to finish. We really try to make our records all like that but this one especially hits that mark IMO. We put so much thought into story, lyrics, and track order. You don't get the same vibe if you skip around or only listen to it in parts. Once you've listened a few times then I guess the favorites pop out and you'd gravitate to those but by then you've heard them in their proper context. And the production on this record is far superior to anything we've done previously. As was the cost LOL!
I'll share the track listing here with you guys and gals. There are some neat titles that cover interesting topics. Jen's lyrics are crazy good and she is singing with a snarl that has made me dub her the female Dave Mustaine!
Mortal Agony (1:27) Into the Badlands (4:12) Overlord (3:32) Demon of the Wood (3:25) Man, Beast, and Creeping Things (3:24) The Sorrow (3:24) Eternal Punishment (6:10) Army of the Dead (4:03) Breath of Life (3:56) Dawn Ascending (3:26) A Child of Light (3:39) In Dreams (7:33) Deep Calls to Deep (4:00)
Total running time: 52 minutes

Hi guys. Thank you for all these lovely comments. Today has been absolutely epic. We worked all weekend finalizing the tracks, which means a lot of back and forth, back and forth. I think John could be in the running for a sainthood because his patience with me was verging on angelic. Truly miraculous. Today was epic because we finally, after all these months, got to listen to our latest album from beginning to end. It's finished! I'm so excited. Now we wait. We wait for the distributor. Wait for the printer. Wait for the add-ons (like decals and ??). Wait for the post. And wait for Christ. Good thing we Christians are masters of waiting.
