Red Ankh Black is OUT NOW, two hours of our darkest themes, melodies, and styles–but not always all at once, of course, or we’d be betraying Red Ankh’s odd dynamics! Continuing from the Classics Comp and Red the challenges of piling up instrument layers, mixing guitars and drums harsh without having them compete for space too much, and mixing vocals low so they don’t overtake the instruments, but remain intelligible. Out on Bandcamp, Youtube, Spotify, and many other streaming and retail sites. Enjoy!

Red Ankh’s ‘Shadow’ near completion
The last of the vocal recordings are finished for the upcoming Red Ankh album, and the majority of instrumentation is complete. Its twenty-three minute epic needs some drum fills and adjustment to instrument articulation, as well as a bit of a mixdown tweak and mastering, and five other tracks need one or two minor adjustments, so look forward to a release date within the next few weeks. Below is the cover art and track list (the physical CD releases will have titles, but I enjoy the representative red-colored ankh and shadows).
