  • New Video of Shaun Recording Guitars!

    We just released a new video of Shaun recording guitars for the new album “Sessions” which even includes raw unmixed/mastered clips. Recording is nearing completion. All we have left is bass (in progress), vocals and sound samples. Once those are done we may throw up a rough track online but we really want you to experience how it will truly sound once Jamie King (Between The Buried and Me’s, Colors & Coma Ecliptic) masters it.

    Once all that good stuff is complete it’s really a matter of pre-orders for the album. Expect a late 2015 release or an early 2016 release. We think as a fan of The Summoned you will truly enjoy this album and really be taken back as to how unique it truly is. It’s definitely a depart from The Summoned you’re used to but have all of our albums/EP’s really sounded the same? You be the judge. Check the video out and let us know what you think! Leave a comment on our Facebook or use #thesummoned on Twitter, Vine or Instagram!

    Yours Truly,
    Steve, Shaun, Sam & Jarred

  • Update on Recording

    Over the past weekend we went in for our second recording session of laying down guitar tracks with Evan Sammons. Shaun managed to get “The Grave Mistake” fully recorded and nearly finished “Fractal Patterns”, all he needs to do now for “Fractal Patterns” is lay down a sweet solo. Had to end early due to an incoming snow storm…again. The recording is sounding AWESOME and is only going to sound more monstrous once others bass and vocals are added. Based on the progress of recording it’s looking like it will be out in the summer. Stay tuned for more updates from the studio!

  • Introducing our newest guitarist Jarred Sullivan

    We would like to take this time to introduce to you our newest guitarist, Jarred Sullivan formerly of the band Abstract Paradigm. We’re really pumped to have Jarred as the newest addition to The Summoned. He played his first show with us last night and we can’t wait to play many more together. Be sure to come out to one of our shows and see him tear it up!

  • Guitar Tracking Has Begun

    Now that drum tracking is completed we have begun guitar tracking! So far we have three songs finished. Those songs are “The Pendulum Swing”, “Faradic” and “Built of Glass”. Be sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Vine because we’re always posting videos up on them while in process.

  • Tentative Track Listing and Album Title

    So here it is…we’re getting to that point where the album is truly coming together. In fact we have 9 songs with structures all completed. It’s going to clock in a little over 45 mins so definitely a great driving album! With that being said name of the album is titled “Sessions”. We’ll be recording with Evan Sammons from Last Chance To Reason. If we have some of the funds available we’ll be looking to record in Late September / Early October. It’s not easy being in an unsigned and dropping a few grand on an album definitely takes it’s toll financially. So we wanted to get your opinion. Should we do a crowd funding campaign to help raise money for the album? You can click the link below to vote! With that being said…the track listing.

    1. The Pendulum Swing

    Should We Start an Indiegogo or Kickstarter Campaign to fund the new album?
