"Orb Weaver" Video Re-Release Tomorrow w/ Live Chat!
over 1 year ago – Tue, Sep 17, 2024 at 10:15:22 AM

HAIL, LEGION OF THUNDER!

We're relaunching the band and beginning to focus on the Queen of Hell: Initium music & comic release which is coming up soon, and so it's time to officially end the Krimson Kult album cycle.

Firstly we want to thank you for supporting what was a bit of a risk for us. The Krimson Kult really stands apart from the rest of our catalog in terms of music, lyrics, and cover art. It could have been a big flop, but it became one of our most popular albums. That's thanks to you!

Secondly, we are re-releasing the "Orb Weaver" music video for the general public with a live premier on Youtube tomorrow, Wednesday September 18th at the following times:

• 9am PST
• 12pm EST
• 17:00 GMT+1 (London)
• 18:00 GMT+2 (Barcelona)

"Orb Weaver" has, until now, been unlisted on Youtube and available just for backers and whoever you chose to share it with. We wanted you to have one of the videos just for yourselves since the trilogy wouldn't have existed without you. Now, two years later, we're making it available to the public so that the full Krimson Kult music video trilogy will be available to everyone. 

We hope you'll check out the whole trilogy again, and give yourselves a pat on the back for making it happen! And if you'd like to join the live chat at the premier the band will be there too! 

And if you're up to join us on our next adventure, we hope you'll follow the pre-launch page for our new Queen of Hell: Initium campaign.

The campaign goes live next week. It runs in the comics category as a follow-up to the original music campaign. Technically it is funding the completion of the Queen of Hell comic series, but the success of this campaign is essential to relaunch the band and get us back to regular album releases! 

Thanks again for your support, Legion! This will likely be the final update on this project! We'll see you on the next one!

Cheers,

Nina, Josh, Jesse & Justin

Queen of Hell, Shipping & Video Update!
over 3 years ago – Wed, Nov 23, 2022 at 10:23:01 AM

HAIL, LEGION OF THUNDER!

The ASoT shipping marathon continues! Today we have finally completed shipping of physical merch from the main Krimson Kult album campaign. For backers who supported both campaigns, we've been combining those packages as we go. But if you did not back the album campaign you are probably still waiting for your stuff. THAT ENDS NOW! We are blasting through the remaining rewards from this campaign today, Friday and Saturday, and hope to have everything in the mail by Monday!

In case you missed it we have launched a new campaign for our massive Queen of Hell music & comics project and we could really use your support! We currently have 300 fewer backers than the Krimson Kult album campaign and are not on track to fund all of the music and comics that we'd like to create and release next year. So we really could use all hands on deck to get this project over the finish line! 

Check it out, including music and artwork samples, here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/asoundofthunder/queen-of-hell-initium

Thanks again for your support on this Trilogy campaign everyone! Together we created FOUR music videos! Two of them are currently public, and the other two are just for you! We'll roll them out to the public over the coming months, but for now enjoy them knowing you made them happen!

Thanks as always for keeping the Thunder rolling everyone! We wouldn't still be here without you!

Cheers,

Nina, Josh, Jesse & Josh

"Orb Weaver" is here!
over 3 years ago – Tue, Oct 25, 2022 at 10:57:47 AM

HAIL, LEGION OF THUNDER!

We've finally uploaded the "Orb Weaver" music video for you today! Thanks so much for your patience. For now the video is unlisted and an exclusive just for Kickstarter backers! It won't show up in search results and our followers won't be notified that it's up, but you can feel free to share the link and show off your name in the credits! We'll make it public before too long, but for now it's just for you and your friends!

We've also uploaded a new version of "The Rise of the Krimson Kult" with corrected credits and removing the end plates which obscured some of your names on the original upload. Thanks for bearing with us while we got that fixed! 

And we'll post the video for "Behind the Light" below too, just so you have the entire trilogy linked in one place. 

On the physical rewards fulfillment front (that's a mouthful), we are nearly done shipping rewards from the main Krimson Kult album campaign, after which we will immediately start shipping any outstanding rewards here on the trilogy campaign. We should hopefully be completely finished within about two weeks!

Finally, before we get to the videos, here a link to a bigger update on band happenings and our upcoming project!  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/asoundofthunder/the-krimson-kult-new-shadowman-single/posts/3645734 

Alright, here we go...

Behind the Light

Orb Weaver

The Rise of the Krimson Kult (corrected credits version)

Thank you all so much for helping us get the Krimson Kult Trilogy made! We truly could not have done this without your support! 

Cheers, 

Nina, Josh, Jesse & Chris

Behind the Light video just released! Shipping update! New project!

HAIL, LEGION OF THUNDER!

This update is mostly a duplicate of today's update over on the album campaign. Just a little extra detail for our Krimson Kult Trilogy music video backers:

• All of the shipping-related info in the album campaign update is inclusive of rewards from the Trilogy campaign.  We're working on all of it!
• Orb Weaver t-shirts are still not in. We ordered them on September 14th and were told there would be a 1-2 week turnaround time. (We are not happy with the printer.) Today we have finally received a tracking number although FedEx has not actually received the shirts from the printer yet. Right now it looks like we will have the shirts early next week. They will begin shipping as soon as they're in our hands.
• Now that the video for "Behind the Light" has been publisher, "Orb Weaver" will not be far behind. We'll also upload the new version of "The Rise of the Krimson Kult" with corrected credits in the coming days. 

Now here's the full update from the album campaign:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have a new music video out today! Check out the update video from Josh below, followed by the TL:DR bulletpoints as usual, and a link to the music video!

What's up in Thunder-land?

• Our goal is to finish **ALL* rewards shipping in the next two weeks!
• We are ready to unleash the Queen of Hell project! We've had plans locked in to launch the Queen of Hell project around Halloween since last year, and at this point it really can't wait for various reasons!
• But we would never launch a new project without having first shipped the rewards from the previous project, so we are racing to get everything out to you.
• A lot of time was spent in September raising funds to cover the remaining postage costs for this campaign. We believe we now have the necessary funds, and the focus switched back to shipping this week.
• We hope to have all international packages shipped by the end of this week! Once that's done we'll switch back to shipping rewards for those of you in the USA. The international shipping can take a lot longer, so this way hopefully everyone will receive their stuff before the end of October!
• Goddamn we can't wait to tell you about the guest vocalists on the Queen of Hell project! ;)

Alright, here's the music video for Behind the Light. Let's hear it for director Ivan Mulero! A huge thanks also goes out to Executive Producer Avi Cohen for sponsoring this one, and all of our video backers who chipped in to make it happen!

**We simply do not have time to promote this video at all, so if you'd like to do us a solid and spread it all around the internet like a disease we'll love you even more than we already do!**

Here's a shot of Nina and Jesse from just last night, signing prints and postcards for backers!

And here's a reference shot we took of Nina for the bonus EP cover on the upcoming Queen of Hell project. It's an homage. Can you guess the reference?

That's it for today, Legion! Thanks as always for being incredible!

Cheers,

Nina, Josh, Jesse and Chris

Krimson Kult Trilogy videos releasing starting next week!
over 3 years ago – Sat, Sep 10, 2022 at 06:21:42 AM

HAIL, LEGION OF THUNDER!

Here's the long overdue update on this particular campaign. We have posted several updates on the main album campaign over the last few months, but know that not everyone on this campaign was included on the other campaign, so we apologize if anyone felt out of the loop!

There are two video updates from Josh below, but first here is the most important info:

• The Krimson Kult Trilogy music videos will be released one-per-week starting next week! This includes a new version of "The Rise of the Krimson Kult" with corrected credits.
• We are planning to complete fulfillment of all rewards on this campaign by mid-October, so that we can launch our next project (which is ready to reveal!) on Halloween weekend!
• We are just now ordering the Orb Weaver t-shirts, so those rewards should be ready to ship in about two weeks. It will take us a while to get those all out. Backers can feel free to message us at any time for an update!

Here's a brand new update from Josh:

And here's the previous update which has a lot more detail about what went on this summer:

That's it for today, Legion! Thank you all so much for bearing with us through these difficulties and delays. We'll let you know when the first video goes live next week!

Cheers,

Nina, Josh, Jesse & Chris
