NEW VIDEO, ROADBURN 2012, TOUR TOUR TOUR

We are honored to take part in Roadburn Festival 2012 in Tilburg, Holland. We will be playing along with SLEEP, THE OBSESSED, DEVIL and others on Saturday April 14th 2012.


Made a video for "Crete'n" off our new album Death's Procession.
Check it out at Roadburn or Decibel or Metal Hammer. Or just watch it right here... fuck it...

CRETE'N from Simon Chan on Vimeo.

The limited tour 12" EP's are going fast. There are two of them... 250 of each, screenprinted covers with art by Derrick Snodgrass. Each EP has one track from Death's Procession and another song that is not on the album. The Eye Obscene EP features "The Eye Obscene" on side A and a cover of NWOBHM classic "Come On Back" by Scotland's HOLOCAUST on side B. The Crete'n EP features "Crete'n" on side A and a proper version of "Dixie Dieway", which appeared in raw demo form on last years Metal Swim compilation.


It should be noted that the vinyl of Death's Procession had embossed covers for the first run. It will not be embossed again. We do have the embossed copies on tour with us.

About halfway through our US tour with WEEDEATER, BISON BC and FIGHT AMP. It has been great so far. Thanks much to all who have been coming out and supporting. Remaining confirmed tour dates for 2012 below... There will be more US shows when we return from Europe starting late November... NYC etc. we haven't forgotten about you.

RECORDING / STORE / ETC...

The tour with MIDNIGHT, LIGHTNING SWORDS OF DEATH and ARCHONS was awesome. Thanks to all who came out. We had a killer time and hope you did too. We will be entering LUCKY CAT RECORDING with Phil Manley to record our new album on June 4th. A release date as well as US and European tour dates in support of the release will come soon. There are a few one-off dates in the works in the US until then. Otherwise, we'll be busy throughout the summer working on some projects related to the new album.

Also, we've relaunched our E-store so pick up a shirt if you haven't already.

Cheers!
