Fuck the Facts reveal new album details

FUCK THE FACTS has posted the following update:

"If you were paying attention last Summer/Fall you might remember some rambling about a new FUCK THE FACTS album called 'Disgorge Mexico.' Well, this album does exist and should see release this Summer on CD and LP via Relapse Records. We recorded it in August of 2007 with Craig Boychuk at Liverpool Court Studios in Ottawa. The track listing is as follows:

00. Borders
01. No Return
02. Absence And Despite
03. Kelowna
04. As Empires Expand And Collapse
05. Dead End
06. Driving Through Fallen Cities
07. La Culture Du Faux
08. State of Panic
09. No Place For Failure
10. The Storm
11. Apathy Is A Karma Killer
12. Golden Age
13. The Pile of Flesh You Carry
14. Sleepless

For those interested, here's the story of what basically happened at the FTF camp over the past year. We completed what we planned to be our last tour for 'Stigmata High-Five' at the end of June 2007, a regional tour with EMETH and HEAPS OF DEAD. We came home and parted ways with our bass player Steve for reasons that aren't that uncommon of why bands and people split.

A few weeks later we jumped back in the van and spent the next 2 weeks on a road trip to Mexico and back writing our new album, we made regular stops, staying with friends that let us jam in their basements, garages, stores, whatever… We came home with 15 new songs and spent another week or so fine tuning shit and getting ready to record. In August we enter Liverpool Court Studios in Ottawa with our producer of choice Craig Boychuk at the board. We spend 11 days tracking our new full-length album which we had given the working title 'Disgorge Mexico.'

I guess it could be many factors, but at this point we were pretty much burnt out as a band and as individuals. Mel had moved back to Montreal, and after the music was tracked for the album that was pretty much it. Mel was gone, I was pretty heavy into drinking and drugs, and Vil, being the tough kid he is did his best to keep things together. But we decided a break was in order, so Craig flew back to Winnipeg with our album and I flew to B.C. to drink, do as many drugs as possible and then eventually straightened myself out.

We hadn't broken up, but we had no plans and even finishing the album at times didn't seem like it was gonna happen. It wasn't till October that we started talking to each other again. I was back home bored as fuck, Vil was bored and Mel was back in Ottawa with a new job, probably bored too. We got back into it slow and November recorded the vocals in my home studio, and shipped it off to Craig to mix and master the album in December.

The process was long, not only sending mixes back and forth through the net but it seemed like we ran into every problem possible. During the mix of this album my dad, step father and grand father had all past away. It was an intense time and we had also started doing small tours in January that slowed shit down even more. Finally, in March everything was finished and we shipped the masters off to Relapse.

So that's it… Our new album 'Disgorge Mexico' is done, and we'll be posting mp3s from it, videos from the studio and road trip, and more soon."
