We figure it's time to give our fans a long overdue update on what’s been going on. Diana and her baby are doing great. She’s having a little girl due to be born towards the end of May. The band has been getting together but not as much as they would have liked to due to typical winter-life day job increases. The band has also used this time to fix/update gear. Diana’s bass cabs have all new speakers, Roy has been upgrading his drums and Dave’s been fine tuning his guitar tones. Currently the band has about five new songs outlined with one of them being recorded as a demo. They are trying to focus on what will be the title track to Burn The World, as to get at least a demo version of that put up on the net for the fans to get a sneak-peek into the future of 13 Winters. The band is aiming for a more aggressive feel to their music and lyrics that they never could have achieved before.

Our thanks and gratitude go out to all the fans who have stuck with the band through the last decade. And we hope to have a fresh new release to commemorate our up-coming ten year anniversary.

Dark Palace just received its best review to date from Metalbite.com. It received a 9 out of 10. We would love to post all the details of how much they were very impressed, but it's best you just go and read it for yourself.

We just found out that Lolipop Magazine did in fact review our first album long ago. The review isn't just good, it's also got some funny stingers that make for a good short read.

We have just posted a new video for Horizon's End. It features footage from the movie Pathfinder, as the song was inspired by the movie. We are currently uploading an HD version onto our Youtube channel.

We have created an official Youtube channel. It houses the HD version of The Gift, as well as our other videos. Currently we are still uploading videos we feel will make good additions.

As you can see, the new website is up and running. The old website had been up for three years in anticipation of Dark Palace and after a year of supporting that release it's time to move on to the next, and this time we're not going to take half a decade making it.

Roy has been working hard on a new site for us with a whole new look. It's far more professional with graphics for Burn The World. It should be set to launch in just a couple days.

We want to thank everyone who came out to yesterday's show in Portland. It was absolutely the best crowd we've ever had in Maine. Over the years we had grown discouraged with the waning crowds at local shows and this show lightened our spirits and renewed a lot of our faith in the scene.

As of now we officially start a winter hiatus to work solely on writing the third album. It will feel good to have modern material written by the three of us, as solid group collaboration instead of being written by 100 different people. What is uncertain in our future though is when Diana and Roy’s baby is born, where are we going to rehearse? We have a whole winter to figure this out so by the time comes, an answer will arise.

We have just posted pictures on our Myspace from tonight's Slave To The Metal Fest in Portland Maine.

Today we started working on the re-write of our old song, Dark Embrace. We're taking what we felt was our best, and most under performed, song and making heavier and more brutal. It will be included on the new album under the title "Darker Embrace".

We have added a new show, which will probably be our last live date for 2009 before Diana takes her maturnity leave. It's the Slave To The Metal Tour at The Big Easy in Portland Maine on November 7th.

We have just learned that Dark palace has reached #21 in the Bull Moose Music chart. Due to Dark Valley Record's recent aggressive sales tactics, we've outsold Eminem.

We can only assume that this means we'll be #1 this week in the Portland Phoenix local charts.

Diana and Roy have just found out that they are going to be having a baby and are very joyous. We hope to use this time wisely to work on the new album through the next 9 months. But this also is cause to book some live dates for the next couple months before Diana begins to show.

We have already taken the inlay photos for the new album, so those are out of the way.

8-27-09
The title and cover art for the next album has been decided. It's going to be titled "Burn The World".

A release date will not be set yet but should be by mid-2010.
