The Banner have set a December 09th release date through Good Fight Music for their first album in six years, “Greying“. The band worked with Will Putney (Stray From The Path, Vision Of Disorder) on all aspects of the production of that outing alongside Randy Leboeuf Frontman Joey Southside took on the albums cover art which can be found below along with its track listing:
01 – “The Dying Of The Light”
02 – “Circle Of Salt”
03 – “Crippling Despair”
04 – “Sunlight”
05 – “Unbaptized”
06 – “A Quiet Corner”
07 – “Send Me Down”
08 – “VIII”
09 – “She Upon The Black Wolf”
10 – “Bones To Dust”
11 – “Sunset”
Joey said of the album:
“The writing for Greying began shortly after the recording of Frailty and continued right up until we entered the studio. My motivation was to get a seamless fusion of the sounds and ideas of Each Breath Haunted and Frailty, as much as possible, then expand on that focused vein as best as I was able. Fortunately we linked up with Randy in the studio and he made this all possible in a way I believe other engineers wouldn’t have been able to. I’m very grateful to have had Randy and Will working with me on this album. I think that Greying is without question the most ‘The Banner‘ album I’ve done.”
