New Jersey's The Banner have titled their upcoming record Frailty. The band commented on the writing process and their intended sound:

Writing has begun in earnest resulting in so far 3 new songs "The Hellbound Heart", "LeechBath" and a third as yet unnamed. This new record will,in the tradition of TB records, be slightly different from Each Breath Haunted and the other 3 records previous. This record is definitely taking from the previous records and fusing them more than we did with Each Breath Haunted.

THIS RECORD WILL BE HEAVIER THAN THE OTHER RECORDS, were telling you now! haha we know alot of you love the original EP (Posthumous) shit we loved it also,so we have infact decided that this record were going to a,what we feel a heavier tuning for the songs. Will we still be playing the songs from the other records? Of course,were upgrading them slightly so everything sounds awesome and can be played together when we eventually start playing these live.
