Sadly, Jack Hell is no longer a member of Avoidance Of Doubt.

This was a very difficult decision for him to make, but work commitments will mean that he will not have the time to give to the band.

We wish him luck in all he goes on to do.

See you all soon.

Cheers

Hey, long time no speak...........

We are still very busy writing material for a new album and will be back on the radar with a bang once that has been completed!!

The kind people at Radio Basile in Florida USA have put us on their myspace page player (Watch Me Bleed). PLEASE go to their page, check it out and play our song so that it becomes the most popular track on the player!!!!! Just click on the link on our myspace page. 

Your continued support (and patience while we regroup and write new material), is much appreciated.

Cheers

Graphic Equilizer Productions in association with Coffin Case And Noir Leather Presents:Avoidance of Doubt 2007 USA tour

..Finally the USA tour is a reality! With the great XPQ-21 joining us along with a fuckin huge name headline band.





It promises to be at least 45 dates, spanning the length and breadth of the frankly massive U.S of A.




Aaron from Graphic equlizer productions had this to add:

AOD are coming here to the USA in June through July of next year.

We are currently looking to do a 14 state tour in the USA. Also, we're contacting a few national acts to be our main headliner check back on blogs for details.

Here's info on the featured bands:

Avoidance Of Doubt have just completed recording a new EP; 'Through My Eyes' featuring 4 new tracks and several remixes. The EP, recorded at Britannia Row Studios in London and mixed at Jacobs has been produced by Steve Lyon (The Cure, Paradise Lost, Depech Mode, The Creatures and Nitzer Ebb).

'Through my Eyes' also features Emilie Autumn who has played with Billy Corgan and Courtney Love, Emilie is also causing quite a stir in the USA with her own solo work. AND we can't wait for the new album either, and what better way to promote it here in the USA with a huge tour!

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

XPQ-21 have toured in the USA with the band Funker Vogt and followed the band VNV Nation in Europe.

XPQ-21 also feature on the movie sound track for SAW II.

More information about this tour will be posted in other blogs soon.



To whet the appetite here's a few amateur fan pics taken at the recent Black Sheep Fetish ball.....

This World Through My Eyes by Jessica (aeternusxastrum) 

 

I never get tired of listening to this track. It continues to raise the hairs on the back of my neck and send a shiver down my spine. This is the same effect AOD's music had on me when I was first grabbed physically, mentally and emotionally upon hearing tracks such as 'Numb' 'Hate' 'Oxygen' and 'I'm Still Breathing' back in the early days of 2004. Whilst heavy music can sometimes distract you from the lyrical content and meaning of a song, as your body just gives in to rhythm of the guitars and your mind is lost in the awesome impact of the sounds, the subtle and beautiful piano in this song gives that extra depth to completely drown yourself in, and coupled with Emilie's strikingly haunting violin, it would be impossible to lose touch with the emotion of this song and feel the despair that screams out of every word.

 

This song has easily stolen the number one spot on my list of favourites, not only within my Avoidance Of Doubt collection but my entire catalogue of music, purely because it has got everything it needs to make that same awe inspiring impact with every listen. Your body can lose control to its heaviness and you can lose your mind amongst the beautiful and deep array of sounds, with Emilie's violin reaching every corner of your heart and every word that brutally escapes D's mouth gripping your soul until your are completely captivated by the song from it's alluring and intriguing beginning to its beautifully and bitterly sad end, leaving you astounded, with an unexplainable yet welcome feeling of pain, and craving for so much more...

Jessica on stage at Koko (winner of comp 2)

Jesus Wept by Z

"So, I choose this one because I think that it is that that shows all the influences that you have on your myspace. In the general I think it is a great song, with a great lyric. It has the power of Rammstein and the melody of NIN, wich results in a great combination. The voices are very good, some ones like Trent Reznor and some others ' la Marylin Manson'. The instruments are really good too, the manipulations, the percusion everything is fine. I think you guys have the potencial to be known worldwide, because you are a great band. And I'm not only telling this things to be kind, it's true! This song shows what you are, and show also that you are not one more band in this kind of metal. With your sound something else is added to it!"

 


Chyna Doll

 

hey guys,      

jw_the_imperfect , Who also sent in this rather good review too:

The Burn Naked remix, to my opinion, is far better than the original version. And I say so because the keyboards seem a lot more in use, and I can dance to it a lot more lol >: )...  
And you guyz are the nicest band i have ever seen to give away free shit like you are...and your music is dark and one of a kind, and different well I told you I think its awesome!  
Jw


Great pic From Kimi...... :-) Sorry it took a while to go up! Well worth the wait.

This World Through My Eyes by Rory

hey guys, im writing to say this track (the world through...) rocks, im loving it. The intro feeds into the main track perfectly, it leaves you not knowing what to expect, but anxious to find out, and the vocals compliment the music, they come in and it reaches into you and makes you want to listen more, its a track that can easily play while doing something else or just sit n listen, there is a quality to the vocals that suggest fear and pain but also a fury deep inside wanting to get out, the bass, guitar and drums, compliment each other to make this into a track to listen to, whether at a party or on your own. this is a reccomended track, all around goodness, cant find a fault. keep up the good work.

 

Jesus wept by John 

This is a brilliant song. AOD combine synths, crazy sounds, distorted guitars, electronica drum beats and tortured vocals to create a song so catchy and headbangable. (im sure its a word)
Deep and disturbed lyrics With sweet but clashing harmonies.
Derivative from such electronica and industrial bands as the prodigy and nine inch nails, Avoidance of doubt have created an awesome new subgenre, Which has been an inpiration to me, and im sure many others aswell.
Keep it brutal, serious syber metal dudes.
HOLY FUCK! FIVE HEADBANGS
OUT OF FIVE

 

Missy's lovely thigh...again... (ta to Rimmel lipstick!)

Category: Parties and Nightlife

So where have we been and what the fuck have we been up to?...... Hmmmm where to start?

Firstly, but in no particular order we have snuck in almost unannounced our new and sexy bassist, Delilah Black.



So I must take this opportunity to formaly introduce her to you and welcome her to AOD, Delilah's first gig with us will be at the launch for the new EP on April 22nd at Koko in Camden. Talk about break her in easy! As it's expected the event will sell out so we are looking at 1500 plus peeps there........

Not to mention we have and amazing new sponsor on board Andy Blake from the Morbid Mask Studio, who make prosthetics and film props. Andy also runs www.monster-boutique.com who will be supplying all our make up. Oh and Andy is making me 5 foot wingspan Demon wings for the launch gig :

So you have to be there just to see them! Dont worry if you are in the USA you can either fly over :-) or await the pics up here!

Weds was my birthday and had an amazing surprise in the guise of Missy taking me to the cinema with a brief stop at The Dev for much needed refreshements.Only to find the Band, Steve Lyon and friends waiting with balloons, party poppers and far to much alcohol, suffice to say the cinema didn't beckon but a serious hangover reared it's ugly head the next morning which was interesting at rehearsals! As was staying up to 5am after much alcohol to finish the artwork for the following days deadline, thats what you get for deciding to do the artwork yourself, weeks in fucking photshop editing and tweeking, but even tho I say myself it looks just absolutely awesome! :-)






Not that I haven't gone on about it enough, but the Ep (apart from the amazing artwork) is in a 4 page Digi pack with a 12 page limited edition booklet, 7 trks at 34 mins long so it's not far off a full album. Production is by Steve Lyon of Depeche Mode, The Cure, Nitzer Ebb and Paradise Lost production fame .......AND it features the truly stunning death metal violin of the fabulous Emilie Autumn.


 
 

The Ep will retail at 6 or $10 plus postage but if you get in NOW you can pre-order it (paypal button on myspace main page) get it for less than half that price and signed!


Dont i go on! I know many of you have already ordered it, but get in early and save yourselves a few pennies and cheer up our investor :-)



Now I must reply to all your mails....... then it's on to update the website, watch this space for that as soon we will be making our entire back catalog available for free download there goes that fuckin generosity again!

Why is there no spell checker on a blog i could really do with one......:-)


Give me as always your thoughts and gossip, stay heavy
