News and stuff


Update 12-9-00

Well, I haven't put much on this site for quite a while because we've been so busy. We went on our tour of Europe and it was great! We were called back for encores at five different venues. That's pretty rare for an opening act. We were also asked by many people why we weren't headlining. our popularity never ceases to amaze and humble us. But we thank all of you who came to see us.

To this date, we have played the Bang Your Head Festival in Balingen, Germany; the Wacken Festival in Wacken, Germany; The Powermad Festival in Baltimore, MD; The First Annual Sound Exchange Summer Music festival in OH; a gig at Hocking College; A private birthday party for several dignitaries; toured in Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, and Switzerland, seen our first CD get incredible reviews, shaken hands with hundreds of great fans, and experienced jet lag way too many times already. LOL!!

Now we're in the studio recording our second Metal Blade release. The drum tracks are finished and it's going very well. All other tracks will be completed in January. We're very excited about this next CD. As we promised, it is shaping up to be much heavier than the last. We hope you like it.

Okay. Lot's of stuff to catch up on. First off, our presence has been requested at the "Bang Your Head Open Air Festival" the 30th of June and the 1st of July just outside of Stuttgart, Germany. We're pretty excited about that. Due to an injury to one of the members of Thin Lizzy, they have had to cancel their date at the show. The promoters contacted Metal Blade and requested that we fill the bill. I thought that was pretty cool. We'll be playing with Scorpions, Hades, and several other pretty cool bands.

Next, we're going back to Germany in August to play the Wacken (pronounced "Vaucken") Open Air Festival. We'll be playing with Fates Warning, King's X, Flotsam and Jetsam, and about 60 other bands.

We are planning on getting back into the studio in November to start working on our 2nd cd. We're in the process of writing new material for it right now. So far, it loks like this next one will be a little heavier than the last one, but still melodic and in the same vein as the last.

More will be posted soon. Please keep checking back as it looks like many great things are in store for us in the near future.
