EARLY MAN is back in the studio, currently working on their long-awaited sophomore full-length with Jack Endino (HIGH ON FIRE, ZEKE, VALIENT THORR, NIRVANA). The still-untitled album–the followup to the band’s critically-acclaimed 2005 debut Closing In (Matador)–will be released by The End Records in early 2009. EARLY MAN--guitarist/vocalist Mike Conte, drummer Adam Bennati, guitarist Pete Macy, and bassist Tim Ramage--are keeping fans updated on their progress in the studio at this location: http://earlyjourney.blogspot.com/

In anticipation of the release of the forthcoming album, EARLY MAN will be hitting the road for some dates out west with 3 INCHES OF BLOOD and TOXIC HOLOCAUST.
