torndown tuesday Extended Edition August 11th, 2009

Good Morning ~

We have several updates in this torndown tuesday so get your coffee in hand and kickback into torndown's world for a few minutes with us, but you have to promise right now to read ALL the way through this one right now. Promise...............ok now you can keep reading.

First and foremost: CHANGE. We all go through it. We've all been through it. We all will continue to experience it. After much consideration and prayer, Dan Bolduc has decided to step down from torndown. He feels that he is being called in a different direction at this time. Dan's love for torndown is still there, but wanting to spend time in other areas of his life leaves him at this decision. We are saddened to see Dan leave, but respect this decision and support him in making it. We are thankful to have had the opportunities that we've had with Dan in torndown and are grateful for what he has contributed. Please keep him in your prayers that God would lead and direct him in whatever is next in his life.

So, what's the future of torndown look like? Well, as you know we are on the cusp of releasing our new album "FALLEN". How ironic. The good news...there is no doubt in our minds that God is leading and he is leading with a clarity that is hard to describe in words. We will be going into the studio this Thursday to record and finalize the album. The CHANGES: I have pretty much been writing almost all of the guitars and melodies for the album. That being said, I will be recording all of the guitars and will be singing melodies and harmonies for the entire album.....

Our name "torndown" fits right along with this situation as it does with many situations. Hosea 6:1 says "for he has torn us, that he may heal us; he has struck us down, and he will bind us up."rnrnWe don't see this as necessarily being struck down, but it obviously requires change. As mentioned before, we feel God leading, especially right now and think that we are on the brink of something great!

In ALL senses, we ask that you keep the faith.

We have put our blood, sweat, and tears into writing for this album and God has been good. It is some of what we believe to be the best music we've ever made and are excited to share it with you!

This Thursday through Sunday, stay close to the computer for updates at the studio. We will be blogging throughout and putting up some video clips as well.

We are grateful for this opportunity to put out "FALLEN" and want to thank each and everyone of you for helping us have this opportunity!

Thanks for sticking with us through this and through this long blog at that. Imagine me trying to update our Twitter with this!!!???

If you remember and feel led, please keep us in prayer throughout the rest of this week!

Thanks and Blessings,
Tim, Eric, and Jonah
