Last With Passion show ever. - 8.30.2007
Sept. 22 is planned to be the last show we ever play as With Passion. We have been struggling to keep afloat in the business side of music for at least 2 years now. We had high hopes that our new album would pull us out of that struggle, but instead our album was released with less than expected promotion and distribution and we ended up unable to even get on the road to support it. It simply seems ridiculous for us to continue on under this name since, as many of you have noticed, the last original member, Mike Nordeen (bass), departed the line up about three months ago to go onto bigger and better things with The Human Abstract. Many of you are fans of our other/previous band Conducting From The Grave. John, Greg, and I have decided that we should continue again as CFTG and Steven, whom replaced Mike for the last two tours will be joining us on bass. Former vocalist of CFTG, Drew, will be completing the line-up for the band. Fidel will be returning to vocal duties in his previous band, Cyanide Era. We are now writing new material for Conducting From The Grave that should be posted online within the next couple months. We all believe that this decision is in our best interest as musicians and in our fans' best interest as well. We appreciate all of your support and we hope that all of you will continue to support us in these other musical projects. It's been good times and we appreciate all the support anyone has given to us and any previous line up of this band, and we hope to see as many of you at our last show as possible.

New Album Out March 20. -12.12.2006
We finished tracking our new album almost two months ago, and we are very anxious to put some new stuff online for you all to hear, however we are still waiting to get a mastered copy back. In the meantime, our label, Earache Records, has posted a track on their mp3 player on their website. This track isn't the actual mastered version, (it was just ran through a template) so the final version will sound better. Once we get the final version we will be posting a few songs for everyone to hear, but for now go to www.earache.com www.earache.com scroll down to track 19 on the mp3 player and check out "Pale Horse's Ride."
This track will be on our debut full length "What We See When We Shut Our Eyes" which is due to hit stores March 20th 2007. The CD clocks in at about 52 minutes and the tracklisting is as follows:
1. Pale Horse's Ride
2. Through the Smoke Lies a Path
3. What We See When We Shut Our Eyes
4. Triumph Over Tragedy
5. Tales of Sirens
6. Encryption
7. RJ MacReady
8. Forgotten Amongst Screams
9. Vengeance in Departure
10. A Road for the Worthy
Thanks so much to everyone who has supported us through everything over the last 4 years, we are very excited to get on the road next year and start playing all our new material for you.

Recording Update. -10.12.2006
We have immersed ourselves in Mana Recording Studios for our forthcoming album, "What We See When We Shut Our Eyes." This album will include re-recorded versions of Vengeance In Departure and Encryption. The new album will also include guest vocals by Guy Kozowyk of The Red Chord. The full length is due out in February 2007 and we plan on hitting the road in full support of this album! We are more than excited about how well this album is coming along and we can't wait to share it with you all! For more details on this and other current news, please go to the Earache site!

Recording Plans. -09.17.2006
After many months of intense writing we are now slated to go in and record at Mana Studios in Tampa Florida with Erik Rutan (Hate Eternal, Morbid Angel) in October. We are insanely excited to be working with the man behind the production of such albums as Into the Moat's "The Design", Cannibal Corpse's "Kill", Soilent Green's "Confrontation", and many other great metal recordings. The album will have 10 tracks, including re-recorded versions of Encryption and Vengeance in Departure. It should be released around March or April of next year. We plan on touring extensively during 2007 to support this release, so we will definately be rolling through a city near you soon.

Writing for a New Album. -03.20.2006
We returned home from the tour with Nile, Hypocrisy, Soilent Green, Raging Speedhorn, and Decapitiated about a month ago. The tour was a blast. Thank you to any fans who came out to the shows to show support and to anyone who helped us out along the way. We won't be on the road again until after we record our debut full-length mid-to-late this year. We are currently hard at work writing new material for the album. In the meantime we are still playing occasional local shows.

We're Back!! -01.02.2006
The long wait is over, and we are back out of hiatus! With Passion and Conducting From The Grave have joined together as one band! Please welcome Greg, Jeff and John! We have spent the last couple months practicing for this tour and writing new material. We will be performing two new songs at every upcoming show that are now posted. We are on the road next week with Nile, Hypocrisy, Soilent Green, Decapitated, and Raging Speedhorn. We have some local shows before the Nile tour with some friends of ours! All tour dates and show info as far as we have has been posted. Conducting From The Grave will be playing one more show with vocalist Drew Winter. This may possibly be your last opportunity to see Conducting From The Grave as they will be going on an indefinite break. We may throw some songs from Conducting's "Trials of the Forsaken" EP into our set. Thank you to everyone for sticking with us. We apologize for the lack of updates and info; we just really wanted to surprise you with the good news!
