‘Soon We’ll All Be Ghosts’ is the debut physical release for SAN ANGELUS – a project featuring Larry Herweg (Pelican, Æges, Tusk, Lair of the Minotaur), Kim Kinakin (Sparkmarker, Skinjobs, Strain), MarkVon Holcomb (Undertow, Shift, Æges, DustMoth) and Jason Craig (Sparkmarker, DustMoth, Narrows).
Over a period of over 2 years, ‘Soon We’ll All Be Ghosts’ was recorded, mixed and mastered in Seattle, WA with Chris Common (These Arms Are Snakes) at RedRoom Studios (Mastodon, Isis, Minus the Bear) with vocals recorded in

Vancouver, BC with Ola Klüft (Perishers, A Lanky Swede) at Ten and a Half Studios. With such a slow building trajectory, it seems ‘on track’ that this album is finally making it’s physical debut in 2013.

At times visceral, moody and yearning, this album is a journey of reflection, growth and discovery – both musically and lyrically. Reflecting the bands obvious foundations, but with a maturity and progression that doesn’t feel stale or ‘stuck in the past’ – SAN ANGELUS pulls from a myriad of influences projected through a familiar phonic landscape.

A document to their passion, the band first shared this project online with fans as a ‘pay-what-you-can’ digital download, with aims of distributing into the headphones of as many fans as possible.

The results were glowing reviews from different corners of the world and provided the financial support to release ‘Soon We’ll All Be Ghosts’ in two limited physical formats. A simple and affordable ‘Eco-Package’ and as a limited edition of 100 hand-stamped ‘Deluxe-Package’ on Amber & WoolMusic (available through Rev Distribution)

With an impressive roster of veteran musicians, the band has overcome many obstacles to document this sonic endeavor including members living in various and changing locations (Los Angeles, Vancouver, Portland). Any long-distance relationship has its share of unique celebrations and challenges – SAN ANGELUS can attest to that.

In the years since starting the project Larry Herweg continues to drum with Pelican as Kim Kinakin works on Amber & WoolMusic, meanwhile Jason and Mark have since moved-on from the band making room for the latest addition to the SAN ANGELUS line-up - JahmeelRussel(Black Halos, Red Vienna, Kittens) on bass and vocals.

With a string of videos for each song on the ‘Soon We’ll All Be Ghosts’ album and a new dynamic 3-song release due in early 2013 through The Mylesne Sheath, there isn’t any lack of momentum in the bands creative drive as it moves forward in it’s ever evolving story.

It’s an exciting testament of passion and commitment as SAN ANGELUS perseveres in spite of the challenges, twists and turns - it’s sure to be equally inspiring watching them move forward, transform and grow.
