Hail, Legion of Thunder!
Here's an update video from Josh, followed by the too-long-didn't-watch bullet points as usual!
Here's what's up!
If you used a credit or debit card to checkout with BackerKit, you have not been charged yet. If you paid with Paypal, you have already been charged.
For those who paid with credit or debit, we will be locking your orders now, which should give you a 48 hour window to update your order, after which your card will be charged.
Oops! We forgot to include the Out of the Darkness double vinyl to the add-ons list! That has been added now and can be added to orders.
This is the last call for red & black raglan shirts, Blood Vomit re-issue shirts, and Orb Weaver shirts. We won't be stocking any of those styles. We will have Krimson Kult album t-shirts in stock.
The Krimson Kult cassette tapes are almost sold out! Less than 20 copies remain unclaimed.
This Sunday will be our biggest autograph session: the band will be together signing vinyl, cassettes, comics, drum sticks, thank you cards, etc.
We're working on a new Iron Maiden cover! We're all having a lot of fun playing it, but doctors have warned us not to stare directly at this one! ;)
The "Orb Weaver" video is due out next Friday! Get ready!
That's it for tonight, Legion! Thanks as always for your support!
Cheers,
Nina, Josh, Jesse & Chris
Look for surveys tomorrow! New add-ons!

Hail, Legion of Thunder!
Here's a video update from Josh, which will be followed by the abbreviated text version as usual!
Backer surveys should go out tomorrow, Friday May 6th. This is where you'll choose your t-shirt sizes, autograph options, select add-on items, etc. Please fill out your surveys as soon as possible!
The "Orb Weaver" music video and single will be released on May 20th.
The "Behind the Light" video has now been pushed back until after May 20th to make sure we keep "Orb Weaver" on schedule.
Look for two rare items in the add-on items with your survey: we have 11 copies of the Time's Arrow deluxe album book, which was only available in the sold out Time's Arrow box set and was limited to 100 copies; we also have 10 copies of The Lesser Key of Solomon deluxe hardcover book as a stand-alone book; this is otherwise only available in a more expensive set with double vinyl records, a poster, and slipcase, so this would be your best chance to get the book if you are not interested in vinyl.
We have some but not all of the physical rewards in stock now. We will begin shipping orders that include in-stock items in 1-2 weeks.
Here's a link to "The Rise of the Krimson Kult" again in case you missed it (updated version with corrected credits coming soon):
Trilogy Part I video out today!

Hail, Legion of Thunder!
This will mostly be a repeat of the update issued on the main album campaign today. However we wanted to add a huge THANK YOU to all of you here on the video campaign for allowing us to finish this project. It's been quite a few years since we've done a proper narrative video (let alone three), and it was your extra support on this campaign which allowed this to happen!
Also, specific to this campaign:
We are just about done figuring out the BackerKit back end management tools, and hope to send your backer surveys in the next 1-2 days. Please fill them out a.s.a.p. when you receive them!
We've just received the Shadowman #6 comics back from Bob Hall, signed by the man himself! Thank you Bob for squeezing in the autographs between your busy convention schedule!
UPDATE 1:23pm EST - We've just been made aware that the credits did not render properly and a second screen with some names was dropped. We're going to have a new version with the corrected credits soon. If anyone's name was dropped from this video and didn't already have their name in the other two videos, we will add your name there to make up for the error!
OK, Legion. Everything else below the line is copied from the main campaign update, so you don't need to read on if you already read that...
The vinyl is done! It should arrive here next week.
Ditto for the deluxe books!
We were locked down in the studio for 12 days straight! We completed four originals and three cover songs for the next project. Everything is sounding great!
We secured a second awesome guest vocalist for the next project. Once we have tracks from both guests we'll reveal who they are!
Our next few band meetings will be to autograph all the Kickstarter stuff!
Now that the vinyl is complete we will be rushing to get everything ready to ship out as soon as possible. We have a few small items left to order, but they should all have short turnaround times.
That's it for today, Legion! We'll try to get some video this Sunday while we're signing albums!
Cheers,
Nina, Josh, Jesse & Chris
Trilogy Part I delayed but coming soon!

Hail, Legion of Thunder!
We hope you're all enjoying the Shadowman music video!!! In case you missed it, here it is:
The first part of the Krimson Kult Trilogy was due out this Friday, March 25th. We've just been informed that, due to the post-effects taking more time than expected, the video won't be ready on time. We expect it to be ready in about two more weeks. Part II is scheduled for release on April 22nd, fyi!
We're taking some time to figure out the back-end management inside BackerKit, since this is our first time using it and we don't want to screw anything up. We'll have the backer surveys out to you soon. For "Behind the Light" (Trilogy Part I) we may have to make the credits list based on your user names if we can't get the surveys out on time. If your user name is not your actual name, and we can't figure out who you are, we'll get in touch with you! (This is how we handled the credits on the Shadowman video.)
We just posted an update on the Krimson Kult album campaign. There's more info over there, but the brief version is that digital copies will go out in the next few days, CDs and cassettes are now in our hands, but vinyl is not scheduled to be pressed until April 21st.
That's it for today, everyone! Thanks so much for your support!
Cheers,
Nina, Josh, Jesse & Chris
THEME FROM SHADOWMAN Video Premiere TODAY At Noon EST!!!

Hail, Legion of Thunder!
The music video for "Theme From Shadowman" premieres on Youtube TODAY at 12 noon EST. How's that for fast turnaround?! The band will be live in chat during the premiere! Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJLrK8nlUiM
We'll get everyone a high quality download of the song soon, too!
We want to thank you guys so much for backing this project and allowing us to get these videos out into the world! The last two years have made touring very difficult, and we already were not a band that toured a lot. Not being able to present the new songs live to the degree that we would like means that presenting these songs to the world with these videos is extra meaningful for us. So thank you for making it happen!
That's it for today! This is all coming together very quickly and we've got to go let the rest of the world know that Shadowman is coming!
