And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Steampunk...


Texan gods ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead are releasing their new album, Tao Of The Dead, next month. Their seventh LP, Tao Of The Dead once again features member Conrad Keely's iconic artwork, which has become an ever-present feature of each trail Of Dead album. Keely's concerns artistically are predominantly steampunk in origin, and he has created a graphic novella that include the 'characters' on the cover art to go with the album. I really like Keely's art, and have always liked the level of detail in each physical album, so this hsas piqued my interest. Check out the official website here to see more artwork!

The cover for the album is above; the single 'Summer Of All Dead Souls' is below, plus a brand new track, 'Weight Of The Sun'! See them play at Camden's Electric Ballroom on April 15, followed by gigs at Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow. I saw them play the Electric Ballroom in 2009 - fucking amazing...
