We&#8217;ve reached the end of the road here. Huge thank you for coming along with us on this pre-release rollercoaster the past couple of months. We really appreciate all the support. We can&#8217;t wait to get the CDs and records in your hands as soon as possible so you can read the story for the other half of the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in case you somehow missed all the emails and social posts prior to this and are wondering what this is all about, <a href=\"https:\/\/theprotomen.bandcamp.com\/album\/act-iii-this-city-made-us\">Act III: This City Made Us is now in the CD and Digital pre-order phase on Bandcamp<\/a> and we released one to two songs every week over the course of the last two months to pre-orderers. As of today, everything is live now in Bandcamp, so if you pre-order the album, you&#8217;ll have access to it there.\u00a0And always remember, only the physical copies of the album (CDs, Records, etc.)\u00a0come with the libretto\/booklet that have all of the fleshed out story and incredible <a href=\"http:\/\/johndelucca.com\/\">John DeLucca<\/a> illustration and <a href=\"http:\/\/versionindustries.com\/\">Caspar Newbolt<\/a> design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you missed the previous newsletters and posts, it means you don&#8217;t know that MAGFest sold out in record time, but that you shouldn&#8217;t freak out if you didn\u2019t get a badge, because we\u2019re planning a little something here in Nashville for mid 2026 that you don\u2019t want to miss. We\u2019ll dole out more info on that as we know more details. But go ahead and clear your schedules for the entire year, because it\u2019s gonna be a big little something.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And stiiiiiillllll no word on a pre-order date for Vinyl, but we\u2019re getting closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See you at MAGFest!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Commander<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 1 was \u201cThe Calm\u201d + \u201cHold Back The Night\u201d Week 2 was \u201cThe Trainyard\u201d + \u201cNo Way Back\u201d Week 3 was \u201cThe Storm\u201d + \u201cBuried In The Red\u201d (featuring&nbsp;Bit Brigade\u2019s own Luke Fields on bass guitar.)&nbsp; Week 4 was \u201cCalling Out\u201d Week 5 was \u201cThis City Made Us\u201d Week 6 was \u201cHold On (The [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5590","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-protomen-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/protomen.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5590","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/protomen.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/protomen.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/protomen.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/protomen.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5590"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/protomen.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5590\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5599,"href":"https:\/\/protomen.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5590\/revisions\/5599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/protomen.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/protomen.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/protomen.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
