Zohra Atash on stage with A Storm of Light (more by BBG)

Fans of A Storm of Light may know Zohra Atash from her eerie and haunting vocals as part of the band's live lineup, but her primary focus is Religious To Damn. The gothy, "gypsy-psyche" band are preparing their new and debut LP Glass Prayer for release on Wierd M'Lady's Records on February 8th. It features appearances from Tamaryn (NOTE: she will be performing with RTL and will not being playing a set herself) and Secret Machines' Brandon Curtis. Download the lead track, "Drifter," above. Check out its video below.

Religious To Damn will play a FREE (slightly early) record release show at Glasslands in Brooklyn on January 13th, and what's more, the show will feature an appearance from Kevin Hufnagel (Dysrhythmia/Vaura/Gorguts) and one from LP contributor Tamaryn who will be in town from LA for the first time since CMJ and who will be back again with The Raveonettes at Music Hall of Williamsburg on April 20th (tickets are still available). Tamaryn's The Waves was a 2010 fave.

A Storm of Light currently have only one date on their schedule in the near future - January 22nd at Fundacion Gilberto Alzate in Bogota, Colombia. Josh's other band, Neurosis, will play the new year on the West Coast and at Maryland Deathfest 2011.

Hey gang,

We'd like to take a moment to introduce you to our new editions:
Two fresh faces who will be joining us live on our upcoming tours.

On Bass: Dave Pajo

Pajo has a vast body of work. He was the guitarist for Slint. He has recorded as Papa M and Ariel M. And he has worked with Tortoise, Will Oldham, Zwan, and numerous other artists. So, you know....do the math.

On Keys and Vox: Brandon Curtis

Curtis is a member of the Secret Machines. Enough said.

We are very excited and honored to be working with such talented individuals.

Come and see why.

Interpol

Dave Pajo, the new Carlos D, was also recently a member of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Interpol recently cancelled most of their upcoming tour dates.

Papa M is playing ATP New York in September.
