New The Mark of Cain Album in Stores Tomorrow

Way back in July I teased fans that after a decade long wait, they’d soon have a new The Mark of Cain album in their hands. Well rest assured folks, that patience will be rewarded tomorrow when Songs of the Third and Fifth hits stores.

This album has been a long time in the making. The band members commenced work on it way back in 2006, and have taken their time to craft something truly special. With drummer John Stanier now based in America it was never going to be a quick process, but that’s allowed the band to ruminate on their new material and make sure it’s top notch. The Scott brothers stole time with their band made when John’s acts Battles and Tomahawk were in town, and eventually it came all came together. With a track featuring a spoken word section from Henry Rollins no less!

The Mark of Cain will let fans sit with the new material for a few months before embarking on a national tour next year.

The Mark of Cain on Comeback Trail

We’ve been waiting ten long, long years, but The Mark of Cain are almost ready to release album number five. Songs of The Third & Fifth will hit stores near the end of the year.

“It’s been a hard couple of years and I never expected the album to take so long to complete but we are now coming to its final moments before it is thrust into the world for better or worse,” explained the band’s front man John Scott. “Most musicians always think/say that their most recent recording is their best – I can understand that as it’s the most tangible piece of art they’ve been close to, but also, I know in my heart that this album is the best thing we have ever done.”

It seems cruel to leave those loyal fans waiting another few months to hear it, but there’ll be a single released digitally next month to tide us over. As if that wasn’t enough to excite the faithful, The Mark of Cain promise they’ll make their long awaited return to the stage early next year. You know what they say about good things coming to those who wait!
