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.
