Hello friends and fans. We have been recieving some questions as to when we are playing in your area or why we don't have any shows up on our schedule. Well that would be because we are currently on a little government mandated break. I (Jesse) will be returning to the land of sand and war once more. I will be gone for about a year,yea it sucks believe me I know, this is only effecting our live shows as we still continue to write and complete our up coming release of Somber Ceremony. We have had to postpone our plans to arrange some shows in Europe as well as many spots in the US we had hoped to visit this summer. I'm not much of a blogger, but I might be dropping some info and pics when time permits. I can also be reached on my personal page @ www.myspace.com/jundee2112. We still have some exiting stuff coming up like having some tunes featured in a porn movie as well as an extreme sports video and some new merch on the way!
Cheers
Jesse

We sold out of Poor Man's Coffin albums at CD Baby, but more are on the way as we speak. So don't fret. And if you need an instant fix you can download us from iTunes, or off our myspace page (even cheaper than iTunes).
Cheers
Jesse

The latest addition to come into my claws was The Casket Crew's album
entitled Poor Mans Coffin, a full- length 10-song CD and filled of
metal delights and has minor influence of progressive, and a gothic
covering. The opening track, was "The Sight", mixture of clean and not
vocals was refreshing for one to experience, and the bass (Bart
McCrorey) is heard strongly with the drumming (Jessy Newland) in full
force. One of the standout tracks on this CD comes early with "Ignite a
Blaze" that spears one to stay to listen to this band and their music.
This particular track allows each member of this 3-member group to
showcase and show off the talents, especially with James Rodrock's
showing a raw and then polish sound of his guitar riffs, but never
leaving the snarling form of the song or his vocals, to do a breakout
of a guitar solo, that is too poppy.

"Book of Myths" truly has
the funeral pyres lit for this song as it marches the listener through
the land of despair to the other side and victory by crushing the
opposition skulls' wasted from garbage music and false metal. It is
with this song, the album really turns a corner and takes the audience
into another level, with a sound drumming that introduces them to
"Embedded". This song is both raw and yet shining example of a blood
stained sword thrashing throw battle, there are no smiles here just the
brutality of the music unleashing on a unsuspecting audience. An
interesting tidbit is that by the stamp time code of 2:57 on this track
which sound seems like The Equinox's of the Gods "Death Wish" (from the
defunct label Unisound Records) musical similarity was introduce.

The
tracks "Over the Edge" and "Dead is Thought to be Dead" are both
showing the exceptionally skill that this band has to build upon, as
the track are different in blend and tone, "Over" is like Overkill's
famous shredding, though not as whiplash frenzied, while, "Dead" has
influences of Samael layered throughout the song with a touch of doom.

The song "The Journey's End" is driving forceful song, using many
change ups, to achieve and single evil act of passion that would give a
deadly moment of glory to all to listen to this song, let alone the
band. However the band is not finished with the listener's carcass, it
is time to raise up a "Demon Flask" and have a "Life or Limb" join
the Casket Crew with a somber drink, for this again contains the same
rawness as previous tracks, yet craving to cause sleepless in the
disciples of the audience.

THE CASKET CREW/Poor Man's Coffin (Self Released) 10 track of some face breaking
thrash/death metal. Sort of reminds me of the last few Death releases and the
singer even reminds me of the sadly missed singer Chuck S. I like the band's
guitar sound and the songs sounded good and crunchy to me and I could remember
riffs and vocal lines after each song played on. Most of the songs are in the
mid paced style and are based on riffs and the band can crank out some wicked
riffs let me tell you. There wasn't a bad song on this disc and if a label were
smart they would snap these guys up.

Thanks a lot Chris
