Update + Andy on The Graveyard Show Thursday night
I did an interview with The Caretaker, host of The Graveyard Show Podcast recently and you can hear it Thursday at midnight EST/ 9pm Pacific by clicking the link below. We went over everything from the band to my novel, The Sticks and everything in between.

As for what’s new in Bella Morte land… I’ve been working furiously on new material for the next album, which we’re planning on releasing next fall. Several songs are coming along nicely, and it’s been a very emotional process.
We recently wrapped up recording a new track called “Flatlined” that will appear on a Metropolis Records CD compilation that will be sold exclusively through Hot Topic stores this coming fall. I’ll keep you all posted on the details there.
I hope the summer is being good to everyone. Thanks as always for all your support!

Beautiful Death review in Midnight Calling Ezine
Here’s another glowing review of our latest album “Beautiful Death”, this time from Midnight Calling Ezine.
From the road
I’m writing from a hotel somewhere in Iowa. I’ve been having a really great time on the road with our label mates Ego Likeness. They’re an excellent band and amazing people, and I think you ought to check ‘em out.
The stripped down Bella Morte shows have been so much fun. I have to admit to being nervous at the first one. It was in La Crosse, WI, and there weren’t a ton of people there, but I was nervous for the first time in ages! After getting that show under my belt I was fine, and the stripped down version of the band has been a ton of fun! And seeing fans’ faces light up when the first few notes of Fall No More, The Rain Within Her Hands and Relics kick in is priceless. LOVED the shows in Chicago and Cedar Rapids, hoping for more of the same once we get to St. Louis and Indy. We’ve been getting tons of requests to play this set in other cities, and we might… but no promises! After getting home, Tony L. and I plan on recording the acoustic versions of Find Forever Gone, Fades Like A Song and As the Storm Unfolds and making them available to you.
As for my novel, The Sticks, I sold out of everything I had with me by the Chicago show! And the books selling like mad online too. It was #1 in presales and #2 in digital downloads at Horror Mall for April. And it’s doing well on Amazon.com. I’ve re-ordered copies and will have them for the shows in Raleigh, NC, Springfield, VA and Charlottesville, VA.
That’s all for now. Thanks to everyone who’s made it to the shows and mentioned it online. Your support kicks ass and we love you for it!! See you at the shows folks!
