Practice and New Songs

Tue, 25 Jul 2006 01:42:13 GMT

Practice has been going great. Jason's vocals sound great with the A.D. songs. We've also been working on two entirely new songs one of which is called "The Immortal, The Dead and The Nothing" which we plan on debuting in Texas in October.

We finally have some shit up on YouTube. So far Mandog, Heavy Birth, Whistle Pig & Indolence from last week's Brighton show are up, and us practicing Forever My Queen before Roadburn with Ben Ward (Orange Goblin) on vocals.

Remembering Boppo

Mon, 10 Jul 2006 07:21:54 GMT

Eddie "Boppo" Ramos, our very good friend, passed away last week. We played a show and drank to Eddie at The Brighton Bar tonight, along with 1000 Knives of Fire. Greatdayforup had to cancel last-minute, unfortunately.

Eddie will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him, but by us especially. He's been around since the beginning - since before the beginning.

Rest in peace Boppo.

Edwin "Boppo" Ramos, Jr.
June 7th 1968 - April 29th 2006

Just got back from The Netherlands' 2006 Roadburn Festival. It was our first show in Europe and we had a great time.
