As we mentioned to you a few weeks ago, An Albatross has opened the floodgates and started releasing details about their upcoming sophomore record, The An Albatross Family Album. The psych-metal pioneers’ second official full-length – and first since 2006’s Blessphemy Of The Peace-Beast Feastgiver And The Bear Warp Kumite – will see the light of day on October 21st via Eyeball Records. But aside from the newly-posted album version of their single “…And Now Emerges The Silver Pilgrim”, which can be heard at the band’s MySpace page, we have yet to hear any new music.

Until now.
