Things are going really good at the moment! Taking some down time over Christmas to get stuck into writing for album 3 and looking to set up the next tour. Have to revamp all our social media and whatnot as well but that's boring and awful and we don't want to dignify it with acknowledgement.
Touring Europe with Annihilator was a pretty crazy experience all round and as far as we can tell it was all very successful for a new band. We made some new fans, sold some CD's, signed some boobies (mostly on dudes), and just generally had enough of a good time that we are not completely turned off the idea of touring ever again.
Well the size of the crowd was a big one haha! We play small shows in Australia because it's a small place. Don't get us wrong, the country itself is fucking gigantic, but there's not many people here, and its pretty noticeable at most shows. It was great to be able to check out what the scenes were like all across Europe and see how crazy some of those countries go. It was also fun to see if any of our jokes make it across the language barrier. They do not.
One thing that really stuck with us was during the second half of the tour, when momentum had obviously picked up, and people were waiting for us when the buses rocked up to the venues, or waiting for us out back for photos and autographs. People were travelling across borders to come and see us play and it was crazy to see that kinda passion for the music we have made.
Sorry to Jeff! But we played with ACCEPT back in Melbourne, and their live show is just fucking amazing! So powerful, so tight, just awesome.
We have seen a tattoo or 2 haha! Crazy to think people will ink your logo into their arm. Really makes you want to write a shit album, to see if they will get it lasered off, or condition themselves to like shit music to save the hassle. The reception has been awesome, but we've been lucky enough to have Metal Blade and their promo team behind it, so we are just stoked that our music is being heard and enjoyed. Too difficult to process the love for now.
We all work full time so it was an evening and weekend recording project, and it took us about 2 months to get everyone through the studio to do their separate parts. Our engineer is a busy man but he was able to fit us in most of the times we wanted, and the space between sessions helped us to stay fresh.
We try to play a bit of everything. Obviously our last tour was to promote the newest album so we played all our latest stuff, but we do our best to fill up the rest of the set with songs we love, that have also proven to be popular with the fans. Hopefully we are doing a good job…
Fortunately we have had plenty to reviews describe us with terms like 'not reinventing the wheel' and 'nothing new here'! It's Thrash Metal! If you like it fast, dark, angry and brutal, you should get a kick out of what we do. If you like to have a bit of a mosh and chuckle, come check us out on stage!
Most of the memories we form don't really exist the next morning, so it's hard to pick one. Every few months we do something that has topped what we have done before. It's all onwards and upwards for us, and we have no plans of stopping any time soon. We just got back from 6 weeks in Europe and every day was new memory in a different city. Things are going well!
A new album! And new tour! Some more funny videos! And some fucking THRASH METAL!
