We are long overdue for an update! Lots happening with us lately...

To kick things off, our first ever shows in Brooklyn, NY, and Chicago were fantastic! Great turnouts and good fun with our pals in both cities! We hope to make it back for more devastation in the future!

We have copies of STRANGE RITES on compact disc for those who want to buy directly from the band! Soon we'll have ordering info available, but for those who can't wait another minute, please visit Hellthrasher Productions or your favorite distro to pick up a copy! At the moment, they are available in the US at Planet Metal and Hell's Headbangers!

Some other merchandise we have are t-shirts with the logo and album artwork on the front, as well as logo patches. Send us a message if you'd like to get any of those items. We are almost out of shirts, but will hopefully have more soon.

STRANGE RITES has been getting a lot of reviews, both good and not-so-great, and we appreciate all the metal freaks taking time to listen and check it out! If you've done a review, definitely let us know. Until next time, check out this video from our show in Chicago...

CHEERS!!

Strange Rites

Our debut record, STRANGE RITES, is finally finished. The recording has been mixed and mastered by our friend, Ryan Butler, at his Arcane Digital Recordings compound. He's done great work with Gravehill and Exhumed, not to mention his own band, Landmine Marathon, among others. We'll post a track or two very soon. In the meantime, we are just finishing up some loose ends before we send all the stuff out to Blood Harvest. Still looking for someone to put out the CD version! Here's the track list:

Scribbled In Dust
Beyond the Seventh Door
Formless
Annihilated Memory
Gift to the Gods
We Shall Sleep
Terminal Delirium
The Third Day
Fallen Colossus
Remarkable Conqueror

We are also pleased to share the cover art for STRANGE RITES, which has been done so gloriously by none other than Putrid Matt!
