Junius have a new EP due later on in the year through Prosthetic Records. The outing will be conceptually linked to their 2009 full-length, “The Martyrdom Of A Catastrophist“. Speaking with Beardedgentlemenmusic.com, band vocalist/guitarist, etc. Joe Martinez said:
“We have new EP due out. It’s going to be part of Martrydom, kind of a side story from that album. It’s taking the actual catastrophe that Immanuel obsessed about and kind of just pretending that it did happen. Each song Is going to talk about impending doom and destruction. So essentially we are just going to do that. Its going to be a four song EP maybe five or six tracks. After that possibly another Europe run, then not sure. Hopefully start working on the new album and get that to start to take shape.”
Band guitarist Michael Repasch-Nieves further said of the outing:
“The songs on the EP are neither newly written or b-sides… They were songs we started writing during the Martyrdom sessions, but thematically didn’t fit the plot of the album. These songs focus specifically on the theories of Immanuel Velikovsky, whereas Martyrdom more or less told the story of his life. We decided back then that we wanted to eventually make an EP that would serve as sort of an addendum to The Martyrdom, and that’s what this will be.”
