Not For Pussies - Into The East (2019)

This album has had the longest gestation of any album so far - the last album, "Under the Sun" - was released in October 2016. There are many reasons for this - relating to our everyday lives - that we won't cover here. The effect however, has been to make us reconsider many pieces that we had composed over the years and had never seen the light of day. Some even go back over 5 years to the sessions that led to the "Demon" album.

Much has changed in that time - evolution being inevitable as we develop musically, hear new inspirational artists and composers and acquire new bits of kit. There have also been huge changes in our home circumstances so that as a band, Not for Pussies is going into a new phase, where the time-consuming process of writing/recording will have to balance with the new goal of playing live - something we haven't done for nearly 10 years!

The songs have come together to create a loose "narrative" (yes, we are shamelessly okay with that kind of highbrow "progressive" stuff) and takes us from the sunrise, heralded by the Sun God ("Dem Sonnengott") through a journey involving death, destruction, and relationships, terror and doubt before returning to the optimism and potential of the new sunrise "Into the East".
