Indeed we are sad to say that the ‘baby’ of the band, Ian, our bassplayer is leaving us for pastures new. He’s going to start school down in Indianapolis and so had the agonizing task of stepping down from his position in the band. While we are sorry to see Ian go, this is important for him, and it begins to set the foundations for his future. I’m sure that if we play any shows down that way, we’ll be able to get him to come out out play a couple of tunes for old times sake.
We’ll be booking a farewell show for Ian, so watch this space, or the Facebook page!
2012 will see Crusader heading back into Bombshelter recording, this time to record a full length album. We are hoping that this will commence in the Spring with a Fall release time for the album, which is still unnamed at this time.
We are also currently working on two new songs, tentatively titled ‘Behold the Wyvern’ and ‘Infernal Hordes’. We’re pretty excited with the way they are turning out and hope to be able to unleash them live very soon.
Also, in other news, Crusader are looking to invade Atlanta this year as well, teaming up with ‘Death of Kings’ for a show, then from there head down to Florida to unleash some hell there as well. More on this as it develops.
New shirt design in the works, as well as pins coming down the pipeline. 2012 looks set to be a busy year for the Crusader camp. We hope you will join us in our campaign!
