HAIL, LEGION OF THUNDER!

Short update today. Here's a video from Josh with the latest, and we'll summarize below as usual!

BackerKit surveys will be ready tonight or tomorrow but we're going to hold onto them for a few days until the US election is behind us.
This won't cost us any time because we are still waiting for our Kickstarter funds to clear.
Here's a portion of a new color page from Max Bayo:

We're adding an extra brand new song to the Demons bonus CD! It's called "Lord Shiteater"! (You'll understand when you read issue four of the comic!) That will make the Demons CD 16 songs instead of 15.
Rehearsals are going great and we're nearly ready for our first show with Justin on November 22nd at Reclaim Arcade in Fredericksburg, VA!
We hope you liked "Chainsaw Witch"!!! Go playlist it...and "Only One Can Rule" too while you're at it! You'll have downloads and physical copies coming your way soon, but it helps us reach new people when you stream our tunes!
Streaming links are in the descriptions of both videos:

That's it for now, Legion! We'll be back at you with more updates and those surveys soon!

Cheers,

Nina, Josh, Jesse & Justin

HAIL, LEGION OF THUNDER!

It's Halloween, that means it's time for...

CHAINSAW WITCH!

It's our first song with Justin on drums! The music video premieres at 1pm EST today and the band will be in the live chat, so be sure to join us! (Click "Notify Me" to get a reminder when the premier is coming up!)

We'll have the digital downloads for you when the surveys go out, but for now you can stream the song on whatever service you use!

Spotify:

Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/chainsaw-witch/1774252957?i=1774252958

Amazon Music: https://amazon.com/music/player/albums/B0DK5W4BL6?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_yoUUDQMwUF94YrRycA7D7aOSj&trackAsin=B0DK5WZGR1

And remember Chainsaw Witch is inspired by the story "Death Duel with the Chainsaw Witches" by writer Cullen Bunn! Check out the badass and very metal comic here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cullenbunn/cullen-bunns-triple-threat-of-terror

The backer surveys are under construction in BackerKit. That will be our focus for the next week. BackerKit is very powerful and will make fulfilling this project easier and better for both you and us...but boy is it complicated! We'll get there...

Hope you like the new song! Let us know what you think!

Cheers,

Nina, Josh, Jesse & Justin

We've also added one final stretch goal to the comic campaign! If we can hit $27,000 by 5pm EST we'll add a bonus foil Udoroth trading card for all backers on that campaign! If we go over that we may add it for the larger number of backers on this campaign, but no promises!!! ;)

Fulfillment Status Update (Quick Catch-Up)
23 days ago – Fri, Oct 25, 2024 at 08:52:33 AM

HAIL, LEGION OF THUNDER!

We've done our best to keep you guys updated over the last 22 months since this campaign ended, but we know that it's been a lot to keep up with and that not everyone gets every update. Here is a very brief catch-up on the original campaign status:

PROJECT STATUS

Queen of Hell: Initium is a music and comic book project. Both parts were conceived together, and were intended to be presented together. We appreciate that most of you are primarily music fans. We needed to stick to our guns and present both parts of this project together, and we thank you for indulging us!
This original project ran in the music category.
We always planned to run a secondary campaign in the comics category immediately before fulfilling both campaigns together at the same time.
The comic campaign was originally planned for early summer of 2023, with fulfillment of both campaigns in late summer 2023.
That timeline was based on assurances given to us that the comic book artwork would be done in January 2023.
The comic book artwork was not completed until September 2024.
We also had a very long delay at the vinyl manufacturer, and the band fell apart and reformed in the intervening time, but had neither of those things happened we still would have been delayed waiting for the comic art.
Now that the artwork is done, we are running the secondary campaign in the comics category as planned, and will fulfill both campaigns together as soon as the comics campaign is over.
If you're not into comics you can completely ignore this current campaign.
If you are interested in comics, or the Queen of Hell/Udoroth story, or just want to support the band, we'd love to have you over on the comic campaign. It ends tomorrow (Saturday, October 26th) at 5pm EST.

That's as clear and concise as we can be! Hopefully that clears things up for a few backers who may have missed some of that info! The delays on the comic nearly broke us. (In fact it literally made us broke.) We're probably more upset than you are. But the finished product looks AMAZING and the bottom line is we think it will be worth the wait!
