THE MINOR TIMES To Release Split 7" With ROSETTA

Pennsylvania's THE MINOR TIMES has announced plans to release a limited-edition 7" split in addition to the band's forthcoming full-length, "Summer of Wolves", which is due out June 26 through Prosthetic Records. "Relapse Records is going to be releasing a limited-edition 7" with us and our friends ROSETTA," the band says. "The record will feature two brand new tracks from us not available anywhere else. If you're not familiar with ROSETTA, head over to their page; those guys are incredible. Needless to say, we're pretty floored to have a record coming out on Prosthetic and a 7" on Relapse with a great band."

In addition, THE MINOR TIMES recently parted ways with guitarist Lou Millinghausen on good terms. "Lou has been playing with us for some time now and was instrumental in the song writing process for 'Summer of Wolves'," the band previously said. "We love the guy to death and will miss him a lot. Instead of searching for a replacement, we've simply decided that Tim will now handle all the guitar duties in the band. We have been practicing with this arrangement for over a month now and feel very comfortable with the idea of presenting it everywhere this entire summer. We've got a ton of shows coming up followed by four weeks of tour with our good friends ENGINEER."

"Summer of Wolves" is the follow-up to "Making Enemies", which saw a 2004 release via Level Plane Records and was re-released in 2005 through Prosthetic Records. Producer Vince Ratti (BURY YOUR DEAD, A LIFE ONCE LOST) returned again last winter to record the CD with the band. Mastering duties will be handled by Alan Douches (SHADOWS FALL, CONVERGE). The Mark Price-penned artwork is available for preview here. In the meantime, THE MINOR TIMES has unveiled two new tracks from the forthcoming record on the band's MySpace page.
