STUDIO UPDATE!!!

Here are some videos and some random photos from the last few months in the studio. We started tracking drums in late June and just finished the last vocal tracks about a week ago. We are all very stoked on the outcome so far... now comes the tedious task of mixing. We are shooting for an early Spring 2010 release. Release date, album title and some amazing news on the artwork for the record will be unveiled soon!

Updates!!!

Sorry for the lack of updates here... We wanted to "blog" more during the last tour, but it was more difficult than thought from an iphone (if anyone knows a good blogger app let us know). Nonetheless, tour was more than a blast and we miss Book of Black Earth everyday (go see them with Moonspell and Samael).

This was probably our last time on the road this year, but some good stuff is in the works...

Tourrrr

We met up last night with Book of Black Earth to play the first show of tour... This was at a house in Long Beach called the Hickey Underworld, a house full of some awesome folks! Kids were going off at the show, boogie board living room moshpits! Needless to say Grace came out with a broken nose! Now we are on our way to san diego!

THANKS…

This is by all means long overdue: a day late and a dollar short, but it has been busy times in the Landmine Marathon camp… Between touring east of AZ, NEMHF and LA Murderfest, we have been putting the finishing touches on new material that we are going to be recording this summer…

Lets start with the tour, this was an absolute blast and we need to make it out that way more often. This was our first trip out east since 2006. We WILL NOT let that kind of time lapse again!!! So here it goes (and I apologize if we leave anyone out, as we met so many awesome folks!)
Dave, Weeks, Stephanie, Harm’s Way, Lone Wolf and Cub, The Muzzler, Synhergy Ladies, Drew, Alex, Evan, Roboto, Complete Failure, AJ, Wizardry, Seizure Crypt, Robert, Misery Index, Salome, Drugs of Faith, Everyone in Richmond, Nara Sushi, wacky NJ for making a potentially horrible show great, Mutant Supremacy, Shrek Sandwiches, Book of Black Earth, EJ, John, Jordan and Duncan!!! Scott and everyone involved in making NEMHF happen, EVERYONE who came out and shows so much support. All the amazing food we ate and most of all Curran Reynolds for his endless “having our backs!”

A couple weeks after tour we headed to Los Angeles for the LA MURDERFEST 5.0, such good times and so many AMAZING bands… tops for us were Rotten Sound, General Surgery, Despise You, Eyehategod, Outlaw Order, Early Graves, Gorlock, and The Secret… so many great bands!!! Church of the 8th Day busted ass to make this weekend come together close to flawlessly. I am sure there was some behind the scenes “hair pulling. Definitely a thankless job… so THANKS DUDES!!! I cannot wait for version 6.0 thanks to the WARLORD CLOTHING crew for making some of the best and brutal-est T-shirts.

West coast tour to be announced SOON!!!!

Big News!!

LANDMINE MARATHON SIGNS WITH PROSTHETIC RECORDS

The Phoenix-based death/grind quintet LANDMINE MARATHON, whose late 2008 release Rusted Eyes Awake continues to earn critical acclaim, has officially signed with Prosthetic Records. The band, whose three-release Level Plane Records discography has drawn frequent comparisons to Napalm Death, Carcass and Bolt Thrower, will tour throughout the spring and perform at both the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival and the Los Angeles Murderfest in the coming weeks.


"We're extremely excited about signing with Prosthetic and can't wait to forge new friendships and relationships with them," says guitarist Ryan Butler. "They've been nothing but a blast to work with through the signing process, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for this partnership.
"

LANDMINE MARATHON was founded in 2004 by bassist Matt Martinez, drummer Mike Pohlmeier and vocalist Grace Perry, the latter of whom periodically blogs for the website of Revolver magazine. Butler joined in 2006, soon after the release of the band's debut album Wounded. The following year, the group released a praised split CD/LP with Scarecrow; in its review, All Music Guide wrote that “LANDMINE MARATHON's three tracks have more good ideas than most bands' albums.
”

In 2008, the group welcomed guitarist Dylan Thomas and returned to the studio to record Rusted Eyes Awake. Revolver called the album "a gnarling and gnashing blood-caked throwback to 1990, when Napalm Death couldn't decide if they were going to be grindcore or death metal," while Lambgoat praises the band's "pure urgency and grit," calling the release a blend of "the ferociously thick riffs of Bolt Thrower's death metal (and) Napalm Death's blistering grind mentality.
"

LANDMINE MARATHON has toured extensively and played locally alongside numerous national acts; the group will support Vital Remains in Tempe next week and perform with Misery Index the following weekend. The band will continue to tour periodically throughout the year while writing their Prosthetic debut, which they plan to begin recording before year's end. A complete list of upcoming tour dates is below.


Earlier this week, The Phoenix New Times published an extensive profile on the band.
It can be viewed at this link: http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/2009-02-19/music/landmine-marathon-s-grace-perry-is-hot-but-she-s-also-got-the-growl/
