Hails One and all...

It is with high heart that we finally add another blog to the ole site. After long days of waiting and hoping it seems we have some news to report. Some new releases are very near the final birthing processes and are about to emerge and take life.

First, is a split 7"with the Serbian Pagan Crust Heros Dazd. Ivan of Fuck Yoga http://www.hellmilitia.com/ has just finished these and we should receive copies sometime soon. He is just about to leave on tour with his band Poptop for a European tour. Please go out and support their awesome band and potentially get copies of the split from them. Rumors have it that a release will emerge for Poptop on the a sister label of Aurora Borealis in the UK. Keep your eyes peeled there. Fuck Yoga will also be releasing a full length by Dazd later this year or early next year which I am personally quite excited about.

Additionally, our dear friend Rob from Aborted Society has picked up not only the cd but also the Vinyl version of Death Disciple and already has pre orders for the limited Silver and Black splatter vinyl version on his website! http://www.abortedsociety.com/catalog/
They will also be two other releases a split by Nux Vomica and Wake up on Fire and the new Blackout lp! Check out Nux and Blackout at the Summerfector -see below>

Thanks go out to Oli/ Civilization records for letting Rob pick up this woefully delayed release. Recorded at the same time as our self titled debut and originally planned for release soon after that record. So it is great news that Death Disciple is at the press as I write this. A cd version of both the first lp and remastered version of Christ Killer should be out later this year on Absoc, Who will also be releasing a Cd version of Death Disciple with several bonus tracks. http://www.myspace.com/abortedsocietyrecords

Oli has agreed to pick up our third LP tentatively, titled Hellmouth, Which is nearly finished being recorded. Following along the path of our previous work pitch black and we hope, escalating the ante even further. We will leave some secrets for now.

Defector Records, http://thedefector.com/ our long time friends in Portland have released several fine vinyl gems that are worth tracking down. Dead By Dawn's new lp is outstanding! Recorded at the Ship by Mike Stanioch is one such release another is Crust mates Deterrorformed's debut Ep classic awesome crust. We await further gems from them. Defector is hounding us to finish an ep for them as well that will go out as soon as we can finalize all the artwork for it. It is called Death Mask and features several songs from the newest recording session at the Ship. More Pitch Blackened Crust. Deathmask is loosely based around the Italian Teatro Grotesco most commonly associated with the writings of Pirandello from the 1920's. Their Nihilist anti-natural philosophies were a precursor to the Theatre of the Absurd.

We are also playing a couple shows in the near future Summerfector in Portland, Oregon Featuring a wealth of amazing bands! And we will play with long time friends Warcola in Seattle!
