Alright ladies and gentleman, I have been getting a lot of emails and I want to make a few announcements regarding the purchasing of the album just to clear things up as much as possible. There are many options to purchasing the album, it just depends on what you prefer. Please read all the details below.
The First Option:
The PHYSICAL ALBUM is available to order online. But only available through the link to theriverempires.storenvy.com that will also be posted on the right hand side of the site where our record cover is.
The price of this album is a bit more expensive because I’m literally shipping them out from my house so I had to buy all the packing supplies. Also the free “The Gloomcatcher” album is NOT available when ordered physically through Storenvy. Sorry about that. But The Gloomcatcher physical album will be for sale through our storenvy sometime in the near future.
The Second Option:
The Gloomcatcher album is ONLY given out as a free download when you DOWNLOAD The River Empires album from our BANDBOX. Which will be posted on our myspace, facebook and website on April 6th. This is a downloadable service that is just the same as itunes, amazonmp3, etc. The River Empires album download only costs $10. When you purchase it, they ask you for your email. I get your emails and then I send you a link with a password that only works once to download The Gloomcatcher album for free. So if you want a ton of music for $10, this is your best bet as far as downloading goes.
The Third Option:
Both The River Empires album and The Gloomcatcher album will be available for sale April 6th on Itunes (US, UK, Canada and Mexico), Amazon Mp3, Emusic, Rhapsody, and a few other music downloading services. All of those companies set their own prices. So if you feel comfortable only buying our album from Itunes, etc., don’t get mad at us if the prices they set are too high. Also the free The Gloomcatcher album is not available when The River Empires album is purchased on one of these services.
The Fourth Option:
This was our way of getting as many people out to shows as possible. At our shows we will have The River Empires physical album, complete with original artwork, for sale for $10. And along with that you get a free physical The Gloomcatcher album.
Hopefully that covers everyones specific needs as to how they can go about getting our music. Sorry if it’s a bit chaotic and all over the map. I would have really liked one place to buy the record but in this crazy marketing system, indie bands have to maneuver around and be a bit creative in selling our music.
If you have any questions feel free to email us at

Sweet.
I pre-ordered the physical album before the options were listed and would love to get a copy of The Gloomcatcher. Is there any way we can get a link to the free download with the purchase of a physical copy? Thanks!
Yeah that would be cool, like you could confirm it by asking us to forward you our Storenvy receipts. That way you’ll know we bought it too.
I want to get a physical copy of The Gloomcatcher album, especially now after hearing samples. I guess on Tuesday more info about getting a physical copy will be made available?
Hey guys!
Can’t wait to hear the first part of this project(s)!
What is the deal with overseas distribution? I’m from New Zealand and I have been hanging out for this album for ages! I hope that I will be able to purchase it!
Does Bandbox do downloads for those overseas? That is the option that I want to take as I really want to hear The Gloom Catcher!
Can’t wait guys!
I’m gonna buy it on iTunes or Amazon Mp3. So far Amazon Mp3 is the cheapest.
