Hey Everyone,
We have been super hard at work on writing this new EP "Declared Self Hatred" and getting ourselves mentally prepared for the studio in August.
For those of you who have seen recently in the past 6 - 8 months we have been playing live as a 2 piece outfit. Devon Robillard has been a great part of this band and will always be a family member to Nate, and I (DJ) for the rest of our lives. He pushed the band to stay together when we were at what we felt like the end of our ropes in life. He gave this band a new life when he came into it and we love him very dearly. With all this being said Devon is no longer apart of Imbroglio but is here with us in spirit. Especially with what he brought to the table and mentality to this fit throwing hell ride. Their is absolutely not hard feelings what so ever, and Devon is now co running WAAV Studios with our good friends James Bailey, and Thomas Calandra which is what I have always felt he had true talent in besides music.
But we wont be a 2 piece outfit any longer since Devon pushed us to make sure that his shoes were filled with the exiting of this band. We proudly announce Josh Deeter to earth quaking realm of Imbroglio. He brings the girth and intensity that Devon brought to the band. But he is adding his own flavor which we would want nothing less.
Thank you for all for the support over the past 5 years and most importantly thank you to Devon Robillard for his hard work, dedication, and love he put into this band. We love you brother.
Until next time,
-DJ. & IMBROGLIO

Dear Everyone,
Long time no update.....But we are about to cover all the reasons why.
We all have lost pets, friends, and important family members this year. The nature of the world has definitely put us through the ringer as well as a meat grinder emotionally. Trying friendships, failed relationships, mental torture from our diagnosed mental health issues, and as well as just our constant battles of living day to day......we are still alive.
We are wrapping up the writing process of our next release - EP entitled "Declared Self Hatred". We are only going to press 100 of these copies and have it digitally distributed through The Path Less Traveled Records. Why only 100? Because we want to make this special because no one I(DJ) mean literally no one is buying hard copy music these days. The overall generation as my good friend Tony put it "No one cares about the art factor anymore". It's true. We still have a slew of CD's that we will never get rid of unless some how we make it on to some big label. But lets face it, it will never happen. Even with our versatile sound we aren't a commercial band what so ever.
Both of our records are for sale for $5.00 a piece. Meaning you can get both for $10.00. Go pick one up and enjoy the piece of art that we worked so hard on. www.tpltr.bigcartel.com
On this note this is our last record with 7 string guitars. The rumors are true we are moving to the 8 string guitar realm. We have always met progression head on and this was-is the next step. I have been writing the new stuff on the 8 strings on the side (no one has heard any of this yet). But DSH is the last release you will probably hear me on a semi regular guitar.
We recently moved into our new rehearsal room. It's nice to be a living, breathing, and active band again since we haven't been for quite some time due to distance factors as well as the chaos life puts us through individually.
But please do us a favor and tell your friends, enemies, and families about us. www.facebook.com/imbroglio666
Thank you,
-D.J. Gilbert & IMBROGLIO

Hey Everyone,
Long time no update. Things are slow but they are still moving regardless. Devon is making teeth for your grandmother in Syracuse, Nate is job hunting and getting tattooed, & I (DJ) am going back to school, job hunting, and crushing weights.
We are 1 song in to our next record titled “Declared Self Hatred”. We will not have a producer besides the guy who hits the little red “record” button in the control room (Even though that’s just an engineer). As a band we want to challenge ourselves to see what we can come up with between all 3 of us.
Nate and I are on a regular practice schedule here in Ohio. Plus we are just trying to get our lives together. The music we play does not put food on the table, or money in our pockets. With that being said the band will only do a few small tours and various shows a year unless we find investors who will pay our bills. We have been a band for close to 5 years now. If we were going to be as big as Black Sabbath or the Beatles it would’ve happened already.
Does this mean we don’t care about our art? No it means that we are going to better ourselves outside of music so we can put more into the art when it comes time to finally break out. We can’t tour with the flood of garbage bands today. We have a lot of love for a lot of bands but that’s 1 out of every 20 to be exact. So when the flood shallows out and when the garbage is burned and turned to dust we will return in full force. Plus we may all be dead in 4 months anyways.
With the next record we will be doing a short run of copies and the rest will be digital. No one buys music anymore including us unless it’s something we truly like and respect. The Ipod, Droid, and misc Mp3 players have defeated the purpose of hard copy music.
We will be playing a couple shows between October and November unless something crazy comes up.
On the news of currently departed Billy Petyak, we wish him nothing but the best. He knows the door is open when he is able to come back, and destroy eardrums with us. His work has taken all his personal time away to the point of he just physically could not commit to the band. It’s by far the hardest departure to the band I have had to deal with in all 5 years. But we are proud to call him a friend and he will always be a part of this band in some sort of way.
With all this being said………..IMBROGLIO will never stop. We are evolving plain and simple. We will never back down in the face of the music war. But we are recovering, recharging, and upgrading.
Thanks to everyone who has helped us out with shows or bought a cd, shirt, sticker, patch, or button. You are the reasons why we do this besides the fact we would be killing people if we didn’t do this.
A special thanks to Sean Crook at The Path Less Traveled Records for backing us and believing so much in us. If it wasn’t for you we would not be writing this. We are forever in your debt.
Until next time,
-IMBROGLIO

06.14.11 (BIG UPDATE)
Hey Everyone,
We hope a lot of you have enjoyed our new evolution with our new record “Sleep Deprivation” that has been out for a few months now. We have been hard at work with our past couple of tours, playing the show with Converge, Trap Them, Burning Love, and Coliseum, and well... writing...
We have been doing a lot of growing and a lot of learning in the past year and especially took a lot of time trying to push ourselves while we were out on the road for our last two tours throughout the Northeast, Midwest, and partial East Coast. We have discovered that we all just want to continue to grow as much as we can. We know that we all will not let ourselves have a limit or any restrictions, because our frustration and our emotion sure won’t ever back down. If they won’t back down then why should we?
On another side note we would like to thank Chewed Out, Crippling Fear, Hive Smasher, Slumlord Beauty, Flourishing, Tiger Flowers, Bellows, Balance, Mara Donna, Scaphism, Blood of the Gods, Cole Crick, Chris from Philly, Andy from Black Pyramid, and Curran Reynolds for all their help on our “No Sleep for the East Tour 2K11” ranging from a place to stay, borrowed gear, or even just helped us have a great time.
Keep checking back for updates as things will start getting busier around the Imbroglio camp.
Thanks again for listening, and all your support,
-IMBROGLIO

Hey Everyone,
Long time no write. Happy belated Holidays. We have been kind of hiding from updates & etc. But it doesn't mean we have been slacking by any means. So here are some huge updates....
We are hard at work booking our next tour for April 20th - May 15th. We will be posting the dates here soon. So stay tuned for that.
Nate is now sponsored by Silver Fox Percussion. We are happy that they will be supplying him with awesome sticks on tour / in the studio. Let alone supporting Imbroglio. We are very excited for all the things to come including the things we haven't even mentioned yet until they are more in the light.
There also has been a lot of press about our new record Sleep Deprivation. We have had 2 song premiers on Noisecreep, and on Decibel Magazines website. Here are the links.
Song: Dead Rain

Other than that we have a cd release show coming up February 4th with Canada's northern hostility, Vilipend. These guys are awesome. If you haven't heard of them yet you should check them out. www.myspace.com/vilipendmusic
A lot of press has been covered obviously but we are so thankful to Curran for his awesome work at pushing our name so hard into the press light, and to Sean Crook for being such an awesome dude for releasing our music and beleiving in us.
As of right now we are all getting back into the financial swing of things and working shitty jobs so we can tour, and continue doing the only thing know how to do.
Also if you haven't yet go pick up your copies of Sleep Deprivation because they are going FAST in stores. Once they are out of print they are gone forever.
Thanks again to everyone who has already bought our record it means the world to us. We cant wait to see your faces again out on tour.

Hey Everyone,
Tour went great minus the van loosing a couple tires and some lug nuts along the way. We are fortunate enough to have made it all the way through. Our good friends Oak & Bone were unable to meet with us on our date together due to van troubles. Our thoughts go out to those dudes for a speedy recovery on getting a new van and being able to tour again soon. Check them out if you haven’t yet either at www.myspace.com/oakandbone.
But every show was fun. The hospitality and Wal Mart parking lots were fun times as well. A special thanks to Anne, Cole, Curran, Blue, Brennen, Darrell SR, Fish, Jason, Jimi, Julius, Jay, Mark, Missall, Nick, Patrick, Sean, Travis, and everyone at Dan Aykroyd’s House for there help/hospitality.
We have been doing interview’s and writing for various websites, and magazines for the release of “Sleep Deprivation”.
But we will have a Tour Journal posted soon as well. It is quite adventuress and comical.
On a side note be sure to check out Devon’s other band Cowards at www.myspace.com/wearecowards. Band is full of great dudes with wrecking ball of sound. Think if Iron Monkey, Eyehategod, and Disembodied had a baby. They are currently playing local shows all around upstate NY so check them out.
Also we still have a little bit of our tour Merchandise left over at www.imbroglio.bigcartel.com. We will be throwing a Christmas special here soon as well.
Until Next Time,
-IMBROGLIO
PS: We hope that everyone had a good and safe Thanksgiving.
PSS: Here is a video to hold you over.

11.16.10 (Press Release)
“[Imbroglio] balance an overwhelming feeling of dread with their disgusting sludge-grind... Think Swans replacing their redundancy with Today Is The Day abrasion and you’re getting close.”
-Decibel Magazine
“Not really a record so much as the sound of a bad day... The industrial ambience and nude clean tones ooze anxiety... Imbroglio is one of the angriest bands I've ever heard, along the lines of Gaza...”
-InvisibleOranges.com
On its beast of a second album, Sleep Deprivation, Imbroglio paints a picture that drips with torment, exorcising its demons through a raw yet intensely focused battery.
Sleep Deprivation recalls the dark twists and turns of the late, great Anodyne and the suffocating heaviness of Gaza. Songs take circuitous routes to reach their resolutions -- as if these are not songs but recordings of actual murderous thought processes. From blastbeats to cavernous doom, it’s all part of Imbroglio’s path through hell.
But Imbroglio allows brief glimpses of light to shine through the horror. While the general tone is that of wrestling with demons on the ocean floor, moments of melody bring a majestic, soaring dimension to the music -- and make the lows even lower, in contrast.
Check out “Cement Shoes” for a concise, bitter taste of Imbroglio’s style.
Imbroglio’s first album, The Oncoming Swarm, was the very first album released by The Path Less Traveled Records, the Illinois label that has since released music by Body Hammer, Flourishing, Man Will Destroy Himself, and more. The Oncoming Swarm received a 9/10 review in Decibel Magazine, which likened the sound to “Swans replacing their redundancy with Today Is The Day abrasion.” InvisibleOranges.com declared Imbroglio to be “the sound of a bad day... one of the angriest bands I’ve ever heard, along the lines of Gaza.”
Founded in Dayton, OH, Imbroglio relocated to Syracuse, NY, where they have become a part of the well-known Syracuse scene that counts Architect, Engineer, and Ed Gein in its ranks.
Sleep Deprivation was recorded, mixed, and mastered at WAAV Studios in Cicero, NY, by James Bailey and Thomas Calandra (both of Architect.)
Look for Imbroglio on tour throughout 2011.
