"Apus" by The Schoenberg Automaton

Successful on 17th Jul 2014 at 9:53AM.
Less than a year and a half has passed since the release of Vela - The Schoenberg Automaton’s first album - yet already our hyperdrive has begun plotting a course towards Apus.
Apus is written and awaits imminent genesis. We have reached beyond our Australian borders to enlist the skills of US producer Shane Frisby, known for his work with such acts as The Ghost Inside, Revocation, Bury Your Dead, and Becoming The Archetype.
An entirely self-funded effort, the strength of Vela laid a foundation that has allowed TSA to share the stage with Slayer, Northlane, Thy Art Is Murder, King Parrot, Born of Osiris, Upon A Burning Body, Psycroptic, After The Burial, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Between the Buried and Me, Animals as Leaders, Emmure, Veil of Maya, Aeon of Horus and more. Following a recent trip to the red center of Australia, TSA has now performed across all states and territories of Australia, and from this point forward we don’t plan on slowing down.
With your help, The Schoenberg Automaton will be able to maintain its manic purpose, and systematically destroy all notions of traditional composition along the way. With your help, this machine we drive will continue to twist every inquisitive mind we encounter. With your help, Apus can fully become the dark, intense, and provocative album we know it is destined to be.
Most prices include shipping!
Watch this space for studio updates as they come, and catch us live this June with Psycroptic and Aborted.

How The Funds Will Be Used
A lot of time and money goes into this passion of ours, the recording process itself can take several weeks to complete.
All five members of The Schoenberg Automaton have already laid down a substantial deposit towards the album using our own personal funds. The $10,000 figure that we are asking for is a partial contribution to help us reach the larger total costs for getting this album recorded and ready for you guys to hear, in the way that we truly want it to be heard.
Your funds will go directly to band, for the band. And we appreciate and will utilize every penny we receive.
Budget
Recording Costs: $10,000
Studio Hire: $3000
Mixing and Mastering: $6000
Artwork: $2000
Merchandise and CD production: $2000
Total cost: $23,000
We've enlisted US Producer Shane Frisby as our audio champion for APUS. (Shane's portfolio includes Bury Your Dead, The Ghost Inside, Corpus Christi etc) .
Shane will be flying over to record and produce us in 2 studios located in our home, Queensland, Australia. Upon completion, he will be flying back to his studio, "The Brick HitHouse" to mix and master the album.
GlitchRitual.com, the cover designer of Vela, will again be lending his skills to the project. Ty is an incredible talent and this time we are working with him from the beginning.
We are hoping to raise approximately half the funds needed to make this album and with your support, we can create something incredible.

The Challenges
As with all investments, there is always a certain amount of risk involved. Being in a metal band is not an exactly profitable exercise, so the support from fans is what keeps us doing what we love and to endeavor to do it bigger and better than before.
Donation
If you simply want to help us out and donate some money, we will send you a short video via email thanking you for your contribution!
