Bio
Scriptures formed in the 2008 out of the remnants of indie rockers This Is A Process of A Still Life (Process). Hailing from Missoula, Montana, bassist Jason Ward, drummer Baine Craft, and guitarists Burke Jam and Scott Kennedy relocated to Seattle, WA, where they were joined by guitarist David Totten. Finding inspiration in Western soundtracks, post-apocalyptic literature, and the geography of the Pacific Northwest, Process changed its musical trajectory and shed the previously shimmering, even-keeled, post-rock sound for darker and heavier compositions. As they composed further, Process experimented with pieces that delicately combined both the soft and heavy, the addictive and abrasive, and the East and West. The melodies were even more intricate than before, the guitars more distorted, and the song structures more experimental. Infusing the dark Western sound with world-music and metal influences, Process found a distinct path that veered far from the trails behind them in Missoula. The disparity between the previous albums and the new material was too obvious to ignore, and the band changed their name to Scriptures. When Burke Jam moved back to Missoula in 2009, the band added multi-instrumentalist Jeff Forrest to the line-up. In late 2009, Scriptures collected material for an album and entered the studio to record their first full-length. With the help of audio engineer Jackson Justice Long (Hear Me Shimmer Recording Co.), mixing by Long and Jeff Forrest (Birds Inverted Music), and mastering by Blake Bickel (Dynamic Sound Services), Scriptures recorded tracks at Two Sticks Audio and at home. In 2011, guitarist Scott Kennedy left the ensemble to pursue other musical interests, and baritone guitarist Casey Alexander joined. In late 2011, Scriptures' album was picked up by Seattle label Translinguistic Other and will be released on cassette tape with a digital download on April 18th, 2012. A vinyl version of the album is set for release on May 12, 2012. Scriptures has shared the stage with bands such as Earth, Arbouretum, Master Musicians of Bukkake, Midday Veil, The Luna Moth, and The Curious Mystery. bandcamp: http://scripturesrecords.bandcamp.com/album/scriptures

Influences
The way of the world is to bloom and to flower and die but in the affairs of men there is no waning and the noon of his expression signals the onset of night. His spirit is exhausted at the peak of its achievement. His meridian is at once his darkening and the evening of his day.
