Cargun are currently planning a tour of the Northeast for early 2007. 
Their new record, tentatively titled "Caravan of Shadows" will be 
produced by John Ginty and will be released on their own Rift Valley 
Records in February 2007.  This will be the band's follow-up to their 2004 
release Deep Field South.

Cargun has been on hold since October 2005, due to the departure of 
original guitarist Jonas Eno Van-Fleet, who left the band for 
personal reasons.  During the downtime, bassist Mike Buckman, drummer 
John Hummel and vocalist Paul Gerdts recorded and toured with John 
Ginty Band, who released their debut CD, Fireside Live, earlier 
this year.  Ginty has been on tour with Citizen Cope's band since 
September 2006, which has allowed time for Cargun to begin recording 
the new material they've been working on since Pat joined the band in 
January.

Mortiis has been busy writing and recording new 
material for a new album, to be released 2007.

The music so far is pretty varied, said frontman and band 
namesake Mortiis.  There's a bunch of really heavy stuff in there, 
probably the hardest stuff we've done so far, really guitar driven shit.  
Then there's some really ambient sounding stuff, very drone-y and 
atmospheric, as well as some more electronic sounding songs too.

Mortiis notes that the songs are still in various stages of completion, 
leaving them open to many shifts and changes before the follow-up to 
The Grudge is recorded.

It sounds really interesting right now, Mortiis said.  Some 
old vibes came back to us on some of the songs, some Smell of Rain 
vibes and some Grudge vibes and some new vibes.  It's all 
totally dysfunctional and fucked up in one way or another.  Diseased or hurt 
minds never really heal up, I guess, and because of that, all in all 
it's going to be a really hard, attacking kind of album with the moody 
stuff in between.

Some of the working titles are: Zeitgeist, Great Deceiver, 
The Ugly Truth, Looking Glass, Doppelganger, Sins 
of Mine, Scolding the Burnt, Live Forever,  and Road 
to Ruin.

Mortiis also recently completed remixes for Zombie Girl and Dope 
Stars upcoming releases.
