Hey Guys,

Thanks to everyone who came to see us on our B.C. trip. We had a blast tearing it up with all of you. We are really looking forward to coming out again. Thanks to all the bands we shared the stage with, you were all awesome! It was nice to see some familiar Calgary faces in Divinity, who we hadn’t gigged with in long time.

We will be writing into the fall so we can finish our next album. We have already written five songs, so it’s just a matter of time before we finish the last few songs and enter the studio.

We’ll be doing live shows again hopefully at the end of the year.

Stay metal,

Verbal D

This April we will be taking a break from our writing to journey out to B.C. for Brutalfest 2009 on the 18th in Vancouver.

We are very excited to play for all the crazy B.C. metal fans, and to share the stage with such awesome bands!

The bill includes:
-Terror Syndrome
-Divinity
-First Reign
-Ninjaspy
-Gross Misconduct
-Alpha Trion
-13th Prophet

We hope to see lots of you at the show!
