MDF was a lot of fun, even though we spent over 10 hours in the van!  THANKS to everyone who came out early!  We started right at 3:30, while there was a line 2 blocks long to get in.  It took some people an hour just to get through the line, but there was at least 100 when we were playing.  We blazed through 5 songs in 18 minutes, playing HEAD IN THE NOOSE, JUSTIFYING THE HYPOTHETICAL, CODE OF ARMS, TEXAS HEART SHOT, and CAUSE FOR CANCER.  Being the first band, we were the Guinea Pigs for the sound system.  Strangely the monitors cut out during our last song, so we weren't sure if our amps were even on anymore.  But we got through it and had a great time.

Cephalic Carnage was definitely the highlight of the day, unfortunately we had to leave right after their set.

This is definitely late, but better late than never.

I just wanted to take a minute to acknowledge the passing of an old friend, and former HD/Nob member, Joe Bungo.  Joe and I have been friends for a long time, and played in several bands together.  And if we were not in the same band, our bands always played shows together.  Too many good times were shared.

Thanks for everything that you are.

People may grow apart in their various life duties, but friendships transcend all.

We'll all miss you Joe.

So, I work for a touring comedy troupe, The Reduced Shakespeare Company, (very funny guys, in the line of Monty Python.  Do yourself a favor and see them.)  Last week, I did a phone interview for their weekly podcast that you can hear here; Sound And Fury. 
I am the first segment of the podcast, and we discuss the exhilarating subjects of Mac vs PC, theatrical sound playback software, my new job teaching at Univ. of Pittsburgh, and of course, the new HD video for Cause for Cancer.  Check it out.

Destroyed blaze their own path of destruction… an energetic, tight,
well-structured, intense 22 minutes.” - TERRORIZER    ....

    “an
impressive debut. Expect good things when the band’s full-length drops” – OUTBURN....

.. ..

    “Hero
Destroyed are shattering ear-drums and ribcages from the Gates Of Hell…Only
individuals so incalculably bitter about inhaling toxic slop throughout
childhood, while growing up around math-rock titans Don Caballero, could muster
the emotional scar tissue and angular technique necessary for “Flashers” and
“Cause For Cancer.” – ROCK SOUND....

“impressive enough to keep the name Hero Destroyed high on my radar as we roll
into 2009” – METAL EDGE....

So, what have we been up to??
We wanted to take a little time off from playing shows to work on songs for the new CD.  Things are coming along really great, and we're really happy with the new material.  If you have seen us recently, then you've already been exposed to the insanity that's coming.  We'll continue to throw some new ones in as we go along.

We do have some shows coming up, which we will announce soon.  Of course, we have our appearance on Friday, May 20th at Maryland Deathfest, which we're really looking forward to.  They announced the bands for each day, and there are some really great bands playing the day we are.  Cephalic Carnage?!!  I mean, does it get much better?

We still have a bunch of shirts in most sizes still available, so order them up!

And, VERY VERY soon we will have a VERY special event.  I hate to keep ya hanging, but for the few of you that actually read this, you will find out soon enough!

Oh, and you may have heard that there's a little gamed called the SUPERBOWL that the STEELERS are in!  Shit is gonna get nuts tomorrow!

If you haven't heard this, it's probably the best Steelers song for this season.
