Untitled The Sound of Animals Fighting Album

Band Speculation
In and interview with Sound the Sirens dated October 4th, 2006, the band briefly kicked around the idea of a third album. An excerpt from the article states:

If the third record the Nightingale is pondering comes to fruition, it would feature a shift to their personal side that the band has not tried before.

"We've discussed if there was a third one, it would be scaled back," said the Nightingale. "It would probably be just the core (the Nightingale, the Walrus, the Lynx and the Skunk). And it would be less chaotic. It'd still be our signature chaos, but we won't be out to drain everyone's brain.

"This third one, if there is a third one, it will be the apocalypse."

Announcement

At around 8:00 on Monday October 15, the Nightingale stated in a bulletin and blog on the group's Myspace page that there would be a new album released on Epitaph Records in the future. His exact quote was:

Friends and Fans, After one album, a reissue of our first EP, and a live DVD (three very special releases to us), we bring you the latest newsflash: our third album will be released on the pioneering and long-established Epitaph Records. We were extremely blessed to have had the opportunities provided for us by Equal Vision Records for the aforementioned releases, and could not have been happier there. The label and staff remain friends, and we will continue to work closely with them to make sure our merchandise is available to all of you. This third record coming out on Epitaph simply gives us a chance to reach new channels and new faces, which, ultimately, will work in everyone's favor, as you and we continue to grow, while simultaneously maintaining the independent ethics so important to us. Thank you for your ongoing support, and, as always, believe nothing you hear unless it comes straight from us. We are excited for the ongoing future of this incredibly cathartic project.

Although there were many guest artist appearances on Lover, the Lord Has Left Us..., the new album will be similar to the first EP, Tiger & the Duke, with the Lynx, the Walrus, the Skunk, and the Nightingale focusing on the album entirely.

The Sound of Animals Fighting announced via myspace bulletin on January 5th that the new album has been "tamed" and should be finished by the beginning of February.

Just a quick report from the studio... To say we are excited about the new album would be an understatement. I don't think any of us, as usual, had any idea what this would sound like going into the process, since we head in without much but a few random ideas. For awhile, the album was in the form of an uncontrolable beast, but we still did not know how to capture and tame the beast into an actual record. Yesterday, we had a killer session and the beast has been captured and identified. We should be wrapping up this album within the next 30 days=ish. I hope you all are as excited as we are. Can't wait for you to hear things....

Unfortunately, this blog post has since been removed, but can be found to be referenced to throughout the internet.

Currently

They have since posted a myspace bulletin on April 12th saying that tracking is complete and that they are now mixing the album.

...we have entered the mixing stage on the new album. Many more details to come, but cover art is completed, and so is tracking. Very excited for you all to hear. More soon....
