“Eve of Corruption” is the first novel in the planned series The Days of Astasia. Telling the story behind their album of the same name, “Eve of Corruption” explores the events, characters, and mythology Lorenguard bases their songs on.

Stay tuned, in the coming days we will announcing other online distributors offering print copies of “Eve of Corruption” as well as where you can get the eBook!

The rules are simple.

Take a picture of yourself holding/displaying/worshipping your copy of the debut Lorenguard album “Eve of Corruption.” Post that picture on the Lorenguard Facebook page with your full name (as you would like it to appear in the book). We will comment on the picture “Confirmed!” once we approve it. Any nudity, obscenity, and general poor taste imagery will be disqualified (even if we get a kick out of it). If you post a picture and it does not get “Confirmed” you may resubmit or followup with us at lorenguard@gmail.com. However, if your picture gets deleted, don’t bother. It was probably way too offensive for Facebook.

In addition, Brady will be judging the picture submissions and will choose his favorite one (or two). The subjects of the chosen photos will have a chance to name a character in the next Lorenguard novel! So make your photos stand out!

(This promotional event is subject to change. Lorenguard will have complete control over how any names appear in their novels. By submitting your photo/name/fictional name to this contest, you give Lorenguard the right to use your submitted information at their own discretion. You also agree to let Lorengaurd add your photo to their website gallery so we can show off how awesome our fans are.)

Stay tuned for some exciting news concerning the upcoming Lorenguard novel “Eve of Corruption” and its impending release date!

The US fantasy metal band Lorenguard has released an all new track off of their debut album, “Eve of Corruption: The Days of Astasia Part One“. “Greenstone,” the second song off the new album to be released by the band, follows the story of the character Raiken, a misguided rogue who is given unfathomable power through an ancient stone. “Greenstone” centers around the inner turmoil Raiken faces as he contemplates leaving his responsibilities, the Greenstone, and the woman he loves to live the life of adventure he once knew.

The album is already available through the band’s website (www.lorenguard.com), as well as through CD Baby, Amazon, iTunes, and other major online retailers.

Co-founded by guitarist Christopher Cruz (ex-Demiricous), Lorenguard is an ambitious multimedia project that has been in the works for the past seven years. Conceived to be a conceptual band that writes story-driven music, Lorenguard bases its songs on the literary work of the band’s drummer, Brady Sadler. Their debut album is an entirely independent release, produced and funded without any support from a record label.

“Eve of Corruption” is based on a novel of the same name, which will be released in early 2012. All ten songs on the album are chronologically based on the events and characters of the novel.

Lorenguard was loosely formed in 2004 by Cruz, Brady Sadler, and bassist Adam Sadler. The band released an early EP entitled “Of Tales to Come” (2005) with Rob Stith (vocals). However, Stith was soon replaced by Robb Graves (ex-Winterfell) in 2007. Since then, the band’s lineup has been as follows:

Robb Graves (ex-Winterfell) – Vocals
Christopher Cruz (ex-Demiricous) – Guitars
David Schneider – Guitars
Alec Biccum – Keyboards
Adam Sadler – Bass
Brady Sadler – Drums
Raleigh Barrett – Narrations & Backing Vocals
