Sounds Of War

We are currently looking for a sound engineer to work with us at our live shows. The successful candidate will get to travel with 5 juvenile delinquents masquerading as an Epic Metal Band across Europe to various gigs and make us sound palatable to peoples fragile ears, and not be afraid to use volume as a weapon of warfare. Contact us at the usual email address to be found around the web, or send a message via the facebook page.

Leeds March 17th Flyer

Above is the flyer for our show in Leeds on March 17th with ASOMVEL, and Leeds' TREE OF SORES. We'll be adding some more shows in Europe to the list below ASAP. To those who are interested, we should have a couple more German shows, and a return to Greece, plus currently looking at dates in Norway, Holland, Poland, Sweden and Switzerland. Thankyou to all who have contacted us so far looking to book the band.

Last week we began to fine tune the current set, and look again at new equipment upgrades and replacements so we can deliver the heaviest possible show. In years gone by, we would have been satisfied with £4.99 guitar cables, cheap Japanese effects pedals  and knackered transistor amplifiers - but thankfully those days are many years behind us (Though it would seem that some people still love them!??).

There's little else to say at the moment, except, epic metal is war! Oh yeah, and buy some more shirts from Nightgaunt or Metal Supremacy. Go on, you know you want to.....honest. No, really, you do...(cue evil laughter)

Don't Badger Me!

And is if by magic, after being badgered to play more shows even though we are busy rehearsing and writing, here's a few more live dates for thy diaries of doom. We'll probably be adding more as the months progress, time permitting of course. After all, we have lives outside of music to lead.

And if that's not enough, above and below are sneak previews of the incredible artwork for the "ENGLANDER" album created by Martin Hanford. Yes, they are only small snippets, that's foxed you, eh? Ho ho etc. They do not do justice to the whole concept, but right now we feel it best NOT to give the game away totally at this stage. So, for those interested, you can discuss the significance of these two images and what they may mean.

Meet Thy Doom

Well, that's 2011 wrapped up, we'd like to give a thanks to everyone who helped us out in anyway with gigs, gear and buying us drinks, a big fuck off to all the wyrm tongued scum who did none of the above and spent their time like hairy aersed fishwives gossiping on facebook (We simply despair, at the state of Bwwwwwwwwwitain today! Oh lordy!). 2012 will herald our second year of active gigging again, and we're looking forward to meeting alot of folks around Europe and the UK. Here's a few snaps of the rehearsal we had as a full line up whilst Admiral P. Kearns was in the vicinity. Our collective ears are still bleeding, and we laughed heartily at the complaints from two bands in rooms either side of us that we were "Drowning them out". The soft bastards. We also have a large amount of video footage from said rehearsal. but, because of our "Overkill" attitude when it comes to volume, the sound is completely bombed out and distorted. It's fucking great!! Sounds like the epic metal nuclear carpet bombing of Iraq! We will upload some onto youtube when we find a decent video editing programme.

Stuff. No idea what it does. It has pretty lights though.

Andy forages for his dropped roll up.

Paul again gives in to hunger, and eats the Mic.

Paul sniffs the Mic, unsure if the old singer stuck it up his aerse.

Lenny, pretending to look tired after 14 hours driving. The idle bastard.

Del has a sudden brainwave, and waves his sticks about.

Del waves his sticks faster, trying to fly.

He's still not taken off yet.

"Good evening ladies"

Lenny puts the evil eye on the fan.
