Album Title Selected

The band has selected "In Medias Res" as the title for the debut album. The plan is to go into the studio in the late spring, early summer time frame and record six songs for the first Elliott's Keep release.

From Wikipedia - In medias res (Latin for "into the middle of things") is a literary technique where the narrative starts in the middle of the story instead of from its beginning (ab ovo or ab initio). The characters, setting, and conflict are often introduced through a series of flashbacks or through characters relating past events to each other. Classical works such as Virgil's Aeneid and Homer's Iliad begin in the middle of the story.
