Division Day’s new album Visitation is due for release August 18, and I can hardly wait. The title track and “Devil Light” are true to the sound they established on 2007’s Bear Trap Island.
I recently put Bear Trap Island back on my mp3 player and was instantly reminded of how much I liked it and why. Lead singer Rohner Stegnitz’s vocals and keys combined with the dynamics of the rest of the band make a distinctive mark despite the different paces and tones of the tracks.
Many of the songs on that album had to do with water or death or watery death. I am looking forward to exploring the darker and more occult themes that Visitation will bring up. Check out the first two tracks on their MySpace page.

Haven’t listened to it yet, but I can’t agree more… should be another interesting listen with a few songs I’m going to dive headfirst into.

Linda, I hope all is well and I miss your posts, hope you haven’t given up on the blog. I stop by everyday hoping to see a new post. You got me worried. Thinking of you and hoping things are ok!

Hey, Dave –
I am OK, and I appreciate your comment more than I can say. Thanks so much, my friend!
I have been doing some deep thinking about my priorities and how to be more productive with my time and where this blog should be ranked when compared to the things that have gotten pushed aside because of blogging. I need to regain some sense of order and balance in my life.

Linda, nice to see you’re still about. I’ve been wondering where you’ve been too! Good to hear all is well, and I’ll still be checking back every now and then to read your stuff whenever you feel able to post.
Take care
Agnes
