For their latest album, 'The Infinite Order,' Living Sacrifice embraced relatively new technology -- like Pro Tools -- which weren't super popular (or utilized) during their last album cycle for 'Conceived in Fire' back in in 2002. Given the fact that the band lives in different states, it was a matter of necessity to employ modern technology in order to make the album, which is due out in Januar

'The Infinite Order,' Living Sacrifice's first album of new material since 2002's 'Conceived in Fire,' has been bumped from its initial November release date to Jan. 26. The reason for the push to next year was simple: There was no tour on the band's docket...

We're not even sure where to start this gloriously rainy morning.
