Just a quick update. First, our facebook group page has been removed and changed to an artist page, the facebook link below has been updated to direct you there. If you're a fan and use facebook, visit our page and click the "Like" button.
We're still working on new material, but as always it's a slow process. As things push forward we'll keep you updated.
Also, we're not 100% sure when they'll be available but some new shirts may surface in the near future, we'll let you know when there's more info available.
October 4th - 2010
As you can see, this is our first website update in over a year. Why? Honestly, because there really hasn't been anything to report. However, we finally have some news to share, so here goes...
First off, Cephalectomy is working on a new album, it's in it's early stages, so don't expect it any time soon, but it's in the works. One song is almost done and a 2nd is underway. However, with this good news also comes bad news, we are offically calling it quits after the next album. Yes, that's right, our upcoming album will be the last release by Cephalectomy. There had been talks about calling it quits after the release of An Epitaph To Tranquility, however, as happy as we are with that album, we didn't feel it had the chaotic nature that previous releases have had, and we didn't want to end the Cephalectomy legacy on that note.
Also, we're sad to announce that the next Cephalectomy album will be without vocalist, Peter Mestre. Peter is relocating for work and therefore will be unavailable to contribute on our final release. We wish Peter and his family all the best and thank him for his efforts in the band.

May 14th - 2009 - "An Epitaph To Tranquility" Pre-Order Ends July 1st.
Just a quick little update to let you all know that the deadline to pre-order the new Cephalectomy album will be July 1st. Everything is back on track and we can't forsee anymore delays, progress is being made and the album should see a July release. As completion of the album draws sooner we'll hit you all with an exact release date. Remember, "An Epitaph To Tranquility" will not be released on cd beyond the pre-order print, so if you want to own a copy on cd, make sure you order before July 1st. For everyone else, download of the album (in mp3 format) will be available on this website when completed.
Thanks to everyone for their support and patience!
April 6th - 2009 - "An Epitaph To Tranquility" Delayed.
Hey Folks, yes you guessed it, as usual there's always something that slows us down and unfortunately it's no different this time. We're sorry to say that A.E.T.T. probably won't be released till July now. We apolagize to those of you patiently awaiting but please ask that you bare with us. Due to illness vocals have been in hiatus thus forcing us to push the release date ahead slightly, but things should be back on track very soon! Thanks for understand and your support!
February 23rd - 2009 - Download Eclipsing The Dawn!
Hey everyone, seeing as how Eclipsing The Dawn has been out of print for a long while now and with our 3rd full length release nearing completion we thought we'd put Eclipsing The Dawn up for download. So you can now download the full album, which has been remastered (crisper production and a slight volumn boost, mix remains the same) in the downloads section.
February 22nd - 2009 - "An Epitaph To Tranquility" Artwork!
Here it is, the artwork for "An Epitaph To Tranquility".
As you can see, the artwork for the new album is a bit different for the band, this will be the first Cephalectomy full length not based around mysticism.
February 17th - 2009 - Logo Patches Now Available!
Hey Everyone, just a quick update to let you know we now have patches available in the Merchandise section. Very Limited Quantities.
We're currently in the midst of recording vocals, as said before it's a slow process but things are still on track for a spring release of "An Epitaph To Tranquility". The artwork will be released soon.
January 28th - Pre-order "An Epitaph To Tranquility" now!
The band has decided to make their upcoming album "An Epitaph To Tranquility" a free download, which will be available on this website when completed. Instead of sinking money into cds, which they feel is a dying format, Cephalectomy will put those funds towards other merchandise like shirts, patches, etc. The band however realizes there's people who would rather an actual cd and for those people, the option to pre-order the album is now available. If you must own a hard copy of this album, you're advised to pre-order to secure yours. There will be a few copies printed otherwise, but these will be first come first serve and some will be reserved for promos, therefore leaving very few copies for actual sale. "An Epitaph To Tranquility" is due out sometime this spring.
Pre-order "An Epitaph To Tranquility" in the Merchandise section now!
January 25th - 2009 - New Mp3 Added
Cephalectomy decided to do a fun cover of Slayer's "Sex, Murder, Art" which you can now download from this site in mp3 format. Cheers!
January 10th - 2009
Cephalectomy would like to announce the arrival of its newest member. Peter Mestre of Thy Flesh Consumed (CDN Records) will share vocal duties with Jason Nichols and Corey Andrews on the band's upcoming release "An Epitaph To Tranquility". Mestre performed on Cephalectomy's 2007 single-song EP "The Dream Cycle Mythos" and was a major asset. Peter will continue to work with his original bandmates in Thy Flesh Consumed (www.thyfleshconsumed.com) who have 3 full-length recordings. Cephalectomy's bass tracks are just being finished and vocals are to ensue very shortly. "An Epitaph To Tranquility" is expected a spring release.
December 3rd - 2008
Well Well, it's been a couple months since any updates or news, so we thought it's about time to let you all know what's going on with the band at the moment. Right now we're in the midst of a new full length album (yet to be titled) that we are guessing should be finished by spring. As of right now, all the drums and guitars are done, and half of the bass has been recorded and lyrics are in the works. We hope to start recording vocals in the very early new year. This new release will consist of 10-11 new tracks and should clock in at around 30-35 minutes in length. We'll keep you posted as progress is made. In the meanwhile don't forget to order your copy of The Dream Cycle Mythos! Thanks for the support!

September 8th - 2008
Hey All! Just a quick update to let you all know we've posted a couple new reviews in the Press section and that the recording of bass for Cephalectomy's new as of yet to be titled full length album began on the weekend. Drum and Guitars are already done, so we just need to get the bass and vocals finished. Since we're always slower then we care to be, we'll say you can expect to see the new album arise within a year. Until then, get your copy of The Dream Cycle Mythos!
