News :: IT’S COMING...CAN YOU HEAR IT?

We’ve received numerous emails from all you little monsters out there asking the number one question around the Monsterus office these days...When is the album coming out? Well, soon and very soon is our answer! Here’s where we’ve been...In December we were informed that “Zealots in the Land of Nod” was slated for a May 1st release date “on the streets” nationwide...then worldwide would follow. However, in order to release any album through a record company that particular artist is typically scheduled for a release in one of 4 industry driven “release cycles” throughout the given year (Some record companies have more and some have less). Once an artist has a release date scheduled (which in our case was May 1st) you back up from that date approximately 3-4 months to begin the “media blitz”...teaser ads, press releases to magazines, advance radio promotion, etc. That would have begun around this past February...you know...right around the time Mars broke his arm...you see where this is going? With Mars in a cast for several months with a serious injury...we couldn’t accurately plan for May 1st to be the release especially when he wouldn’t have touched a guitar for several months let alone rehearse with the band at the point of the albums release. Here’s where we’re at...Mars got his cast off on March 11 and since that day we’ve been in hard rehearsals preparing to support this Monsterus release to the world!!! What’s been awesome is that in these rehearsals new songs have been developing at a rate we’ve never seen since the bands conception...Thank God! Keep us in prayer...cause although it sounds like Mars injury was the hold up...it really wasn’t. We used this time as a perfect opportunity to step back and look at the whole Monsterus picture and direction the album was heading. This also created an opportunity for many other “Big League” industry people to enter the Monsterus picture and for us to look at the existing players who were already involved. “God took the situation that the devil meant for evil with Mars’ arm and turned it around for all our good,” Ron explains, “We’ve learned that this album is not just awesome, but also very anointed. ‘Zealots’ is an album most bands wait a lifetime for...and God wants to see that it is released in a fashion that is different from every other album release.” So what record label is “Zealots” going to be released through you ask...you’ll have to wait and see. We Love You & God Bless!!!
