11.29.10

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.

07.12.10

Hey Everyone,

Long time no update. But we have posted two new tracks on our myspace page & on our facebook page. We also wanted to post the lyrics on here so everyone can read them & get there own feel for the new songs.

Here is both songs....

-------------------------------------------------

"Mechanical Vulture"
I've been torn apart like hand grenade shards. Each time I inhale I taste the rust. When can I put this engine in the junkyard? Weld me back to life. I've been torn apart like hand grenade shards. Each time I inhale I taste the rust. Pulling shards from my gum's is like losing teeth. With pieces left behind I feel my ghost take control. I've lost hope that I could be whole again. This world will play pick and pull with strings attached to watch you fall. We all sink into our own hell on earth. Being ripped and picked apart in a million pieces.

"Black Sheep"
There is this sustain where my heart used to be. Now I live this life with out dishonesty. Guiding the failures of the fallen men into there own holes so there roots can grow into shit. With me leading the way, the shepherd will send out the dog and have me forced in a cage. There is this sustain where my heart used to be. Now I live this life with out dishonesty. Cut the strings no one is laughing. Let the curtain fall with a silent crowd. Guiding the failures of the fallen men into there own holes so there roots can grow into shit. With me leading the way the shepherd will send out the dog and have me forced in a cage. There is no escape and that's the price of a "black sheep" that has to pay in misery.

-------------------------------------------------

In other news we will be hard at work booking a 3 week tour that begins on the last 2 weeks of October leading into November. Then we should be back out the new year & on.

Our label still has yet to give us a release date due to financial & family issues. Keep the Sean & the Crook family in your thoughts & prayers. Not only so our record will come out but so there not in financial ruin. Nothing but love for The Path Less Traveled Records.

As of right now the Imbroglio camp is going to be spread out a little bit. DJ is moving to Michigan to be with his family & help out his family since his grand father passed away on May 16th. Nate is moving back to Syracuse in August right about the same time DJ is moving to Michigan. But this isn't going to be pushing the band into a longer or more drawn out hiatus. After a year of being under the radar we are ready to be back on the road for good this time.

We bought our new van which is awesome & cant wait to call it our "home". We are ready more than ever.

Looking forward to seeing all your faces,

-IMBROGLIO

Hey Everyone,

Some exciting things are going to be happening in the near future for this band that have needed to happen for a long time. We will have a van purchased by mid June at the latest so we can tour & get things where they need to be.

We are also about to finish writing our new EP which will be recorded in October with a rough title "I dare you to try and find the point in this". Debuting 3 new tracks & possibly a fourth one for the digital download card that will go with the 7 inch. All those details will come with time. But that's our goal. We will also be recording at More Sound Studios with our team James Bailey & Thomas Calandra.

Our new record is looking at a July release but no dates are set in stone yet. But we are very excited to unleash this beast of a record on all of you. We put 8 months of blood sweat & tears into & hope it doesn't disappoint. It hasn't disappointed anyone yet so looking forward to all you hearing it.

We will be touring along sides of Sender Receiver, & Cowards for the first couple of tours this year. Should be awesome. If your a band that plans on touring & needs another band to tour with get a hold of us at imbroglio666@yahoo.com

Other than that we all have been going through a lot of fucked up personal issues & just working our ways out of our ruts.

Until next time,

-IMBROGLIO

01.21.10

First & foremost the Disembodied show went great(actually amazing). It was the tightest & most intense show we have ever played. We would like to thank Syracuse Shows again for putting us on the remarkable bill that we were so lucky enough to be on. Did we mention Disembodied is the heaviest band ever? Yeah we said it.

For the questions concerning our drummer position yes Nathan is back for good. This band wouldn't be what it is with out him. Imbroglio started with just Nate & I(DJ) & we both agree that this band wouldn't be what it is with out Devon either. This is it. This is Imbroglio. We all have came to grips when girl-friends come & go & when friends turn there backs on you that the music is always there. It just took a long time for all 3 of us to realize we need this & that with out it we are lost.

We would like to thank Maxxwell for coming in & helping keeping this band alive. We will be touring with his band Sender Receiver soon enough & give him nothing but the best wishes for his future with Sender Receiver. We can't wait to share the road with them in the later months to come.

In the mean time we have been putting the final touches on the new record that will be released spring-summer time. As for record details it's over 45 minutes in length in real time with no noise interludes or anything. This record captures every single frustration or life experience that we have encountered with in the past two years rapped into a 45 minute emotional journey. It was a mentally abusive journey. I will write more on this later(probably after the record is released).

But we are more excited than ever & more pissed off than ever. We hope that you all haven't forgotten about us because we haven't forgotten about you & mostly our music. We are looking forward to seeing you all again.

Until next time,

-IMBROGLIO

PS: We have a facebook page now too so go add it.
