  • Vocals are being recorded!!

    Vocals are being recorded!!

    The album is running along at quite a pace, we are almost complete recording all music. Bass is complete, almost all guitar is complete, all other elements are complete.

    Lyrics – I have two songs left to complete writing for, all other tracks have full lyrics.

    Vocals – Two tracks have full vocals recorded, the rest are being done gradually over the next week or so.

    Very soon we should be in a position to release a single, album artwork track titles and a few paragraph of the fast fiction horror/gore story the album revolves around.

    More to follow shortly 🙂

  • Knee deep in the album ….

    Knee deep in the album ….

    It’s been a very very busy few weeks which is why I haven’t updated the blog. There is such a long list of ‘actions completed’ (for want of a better phrase) but I think ill start off on what we as a band have completed since our last blog update on the 25th August 2022.

    1. The fast fiction short story horror/gore book I detailed in August that will be coming out along side the album is completed. The update on this is I have had it back from the proofreaders/editors and the story remains unchanged (very very happy about that) and all the helpful tips I was given I have put into practise (after mulling over) and I can hand on heart say I am exstatic with the result.

    2. Finally changed the book layout to A5.

    3. I am working on presenting a small page or so from the short story fast fiction book for you to read, but as of yet I can’t decide on which page, but an excerpt is on its way soon.

    On the 14th July 2022 I stated tracks 2 and 6 were complete. Well, they are, but we decided to leave them for a while and then go back to them at a later date and see what (if anything) needed to be changed, altered etc.

    Track 2 – Recently we changed the baseline (massively) to better suit the feeling of the track, lock in with the drums a bit better and compliment the guitars more. There are more (way in the back) atmospherics added to the track which adds a real feeling of depth and better sits with the horror/goth/death vibe. Now this track is complete.

    Track 6 – A woodwind section has been added to the already in place orchestra, adds much more depth and suspense. I re-recorded the bass section as it was recorded in B and not A – an oversight on my part, but even if I do say so myself it does sound better in A – almost as if I wrote it that way in the first place 🙄🤪🤣. Now this track is complete.
    Track 5 – Bass is complete, working on orchestra, drums and guitars currently
    Intro – Completed
    Outro – Completed
    Track 7 – Bass is being recorded

    And that’s all for now, another update will be coming in the fortnight or so with further updates.

    Don’t forget until the album is released, you can find our current EP on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, anywhere you listen to music or on the like below. Thank you for your support.

  • Death Pigeon Band Podcast

    Death Pigeon Band Podcast

    I used to run a podcast called ‘A Friendly Conversation’ but with the cost of everything in the Uk going up I decided that I had to stop creating episodes for the podcast. So instead of the episodes getting lost in the great never I thought I would make them available to listen to on this website at the address below or by clicking the ‘Band Chat Podcast’ link above.

    https://www.deathpigeon.co.uk/band-chat-podcast

    I have got plans to record more episodes as and when we release more material and maybe backstage at a gig too.

    Enjoy and speak soon!

  • Death Pigeon Book is complete!!

    Death Pigeon Book is complete!!

    I am so happy to announce the Death Pigeon book, that is due for release with the album later on this year is now complete and has gone off to be proofread.

    The book is a short story based in the horror/gore genre created by myself, it will accompany the album and offer a much more in depth story behind the album.

    As time gets closer to the release of the album and this book, I will be giving lots more detail on it as well as some free extracts to read.

    Stay tuned, more to come 🙂

  • Tracks 2 & 6 recorded

    Tracks 2 & 6 recorded

    OOhh great news!! Tracks 2 and 6 have been recorded and they sound fantastic!!

    Track 2 is technically the 3rd track on the album, its technical, fast and brutal!

    Track 6 is an instrumental and is set at a point of the album when you think the story and music is going to take a slight break and maybe slow down, guess again 🙂

    More coming soon 🙂

  • New album written!!!

    New album written!!!

    Today has been a monumental day, our first album of original tracks has been fully written. I’m not going to give away too much detail at this stage but I can say the following 😉

    1. A heavy death metal album

    2. 10 tracks

    3. Symphonic with full orchestra

    4. Concept album, with (hopefully) a book being released.

    So that’s it in short 🙂

    This is something we are proud of, and over the coming weeks we will be learning and recording (and possibly changing) each track.

    When I have more information, I shall be back to tell you more 🙂

  • New bass!!

    New bass!!

    After recording and releasing our EP (Vol 1: Light through the dark), I needed to get another 5 string bass as I have plenty of 4 strings basses but need active redundancy incase my only 5 string broke.

    After searching for a few days to find another Epiphone Toby 5 string bass (like my current one) and realising they are now discontinued I had to look for another make, something I don’t enjoy doing when it comes to musical instruments.

    After lots of contemplation and annoying voices in my head I decided to go with the Musicman sub 5, an excellent bass with exceptional clarity and tone. I am very much going to enjoy recording our album using that!

  • We’ve started a blog!

    We’ve started a blog!

    I know, how 1999 of us 😂. This is by far the easiest and best way to communicate what is going on in camp Death Pigeon.

    Over the months while we are writing our new album there will be information posted here relating to how the album is going, good and bad.

    So why not bookmark the page and come with us on this fun journey.
