October 23, 2023 Update




Eighteen years after we began playing as The Fortieth Day, we are pleased to present "Under The Influence Of Delirium," the second of three new albums that we have been working on over the past few years. For this album, we have returned to the format of two monolithic slabs of sound that carry the weight of our live shows. There's still more to come in 2023...

Isidro Reyes: Bass and Electronics
Mark Solotroff: Guitar and Electronics

1. The Sins Of These People Are Manifold (30:00)
2. These Gains Have Not Come Without A Price (30:00)

The album is now available to stream/download via Bandcamp and it is heading to all major digital platforms.

We are still in the process of adding our early releases to all the platforms and we have already added the following titles:


    

Bandcamp
Spotify
Apple Music/iTunes
Amazon Music
Tidal

 

Anatomy of Habit just received the first round of mixes from Sanford Parker for our as yet untitled fifth album, the third by our current line-up. We're excited to hear these mixes and we'll be listening closely to them over the next several days. We're potentially looking at a late-2024 releases date for the album.

We'll be joining Chrome Waves and Black Cross Hotel for two shows in early December, the first of which was just announced and which also includes Burndy, the band led by BLOODYMINDED's Megan Emish. Burndy just recorded their first album with Sanford Parker (also of Black Cross Hotel) at Electrical Audio in Chicago:

I'll add details about the next day, ASAP. In the meantime, we have this show coming up in November with AseetheBassoon, and Nequient:
