Our Latest Albums: Bethesda and Magdala!
Most bands wouldn’t release sister albums just weeks apart.
We’re not most bands.
Magdala and Bethesda are companion records — two sides of the same world.
Magdala burns hot with frontier fire, grit, and urgency.
Bethesda runs cool and deep, carried by folk textures, water, and reflection.
Two albums. One vision.

Wretched but washed.

January 2026
Magdala Released
his month marks the release of Magdala, the first half of our double sister album project. Featuring songs like “Outlaw,” “Remember Me,” “You Can Have My Wallet,” “The Frontier,” and “Twirl,” Magdala carries what we’ve come to call the fireside spirit of the pair — warm, rugged, story-driven, and rooted in grit and flame.
Its counterpart, Bethesda, arrives in February 2026 as the cool water side of the journey. Together, the two albums form one complete vision, but each carries its own atmosphere, weight, and sound.
February 2026
Bethesda Released
his month also marks the release of Bethesda, the second half of our double sister album project. Where Magdala carries the fireside spirit — warm, rugged, and flame-lit — Bethesda moves like cool water. Reflective, weighty, and steady. Featuring songs such as “The Death of Death,” “Questions,” “Nothing Left to Defend,” and “The Sermon of the Wilds,” the album leans into depth, tension, and quiet strength.
Together, Magdala and Bethesda form one complete vision. Fire and water. Heat and healing. Grit and stillness.
If we were a traditional band aiming simply to stretch releases for maximum profit, we probably would have spaced these albums out by three years. But our goal has always been to give our listeners the music while it’s ready — while it’s alive. So instead, we released two full-length albums totaling over three hours of music within a month of each other.
It’s ambitious. Maybe a little wild.
But it felt right.
And we’re grateful you’re here for it.
Soon in 2026
The Live Album
We’re also releasing a live album in the first half of 2026 featuring concert-style versions of some of our more popular tracks. It’s meant to capture the energy and atmosphere of a Shunned at a Funeral performance — raw, communal, and alive. It will be available on all streaming platforms.
Winter 2026
Bethlehem Film Tour
We’re excited to announce the upcoming Bethlehem film tour across the Pacific Northwest. This full-length cinematic experience is based on our Bethlehem album, which features entirely original Christmas music woven into a connected narrative story.
The film brings the songs together into one cohesive journey, telling a story that unfolds from beginning to end rather than simply presenting a collection of tracks. It’s our largest and most ambitious project to date, both musically and visually, and we can’t wait to share it in theaters.
Following the regional tour, Bethlehem will also be available for rental on video streaming platforms in winter 2026.
More details, dates, and locations will be announced soon.
