MISTRESS ON NEVERMIND THE BUZZCOCKS?!!!!
Thats right Mistress will appear on the Nevermind the Buzzcocks Christmas Special which will be on BBC2
on the 20th December 2005 and repeated at 1am christmas night (so technically Boxing Day).
See if you can guess what songs are played!

Also another Gig 21st Dec at the Medicine Bar i Bham Supporting Pelicaan
Capsules Christmas Party.

IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW...
Mistress are playing with Khanate and Haddonfield, Illinois on the 23rd of November at the Medicine Bar in The Custard Factory in Birmingham.  Why wouldn't you know that already though, have you not been paying attention?  Ok, try these as well then - Mistress are playing on Saturday the 26th of November at The Portland Arms, Cambridge , the Meltdown Metal Festival at JB's in Dudley on the 4th of December and finally at The Underworld in Camden, London on the 18th of December.  Details should now be regally ensconced on the tour page.  Although if you'd just read the first 40 odd pages of a biography of Edvard Munch like I have, all you'd want to do would be get fucking drunk and smash things rather than clicking on any fucking thing.  Fuck tuberculosis.

EDWARDS GIG CANCELLED
Owing to circumstances beyond Mistress' control, the gig on the 21st of October at Edwards No. 8 has been cancelled.  Stop fucking crying.  On a lighter note, a gig in Belfast might be happening, more details as and when...


LOTS OF GIGS UPDATE
Mistress are to play as part of a very varied bill at the Jug on the 13th of October as part of a John Peel tribute show, with the lineup of the event, spread over 3 areas each with different flavours, intended to go some way to reflecting the diversity of the man's tastes and influence.  More info
here.  Then on the 21st, of October there's a 'proper' gig at Edwards no. 8 with The Seventh Cross, Godsize and State of Serenity.  Next, shortly into November, Mistress are to headline a show at the Electrowerks in London again with an exceedingly varied lineup billed as 'Breakbeat / Hip-hop / Indie / Metal / Rock' as part of the Overkill London: LittleBig Room show.  Some info here.  Along with a few more shows, something pretty ridiculously amazing is also coming up, but you'll just have to wait a little while to find out...

MORE FUCKING ALBUMS
The Earache reissues are upon us, with the first Mistress album having been rereleased on the 5th of September, and the reissued Chronovisor due out in the coming weeks.  The reissues have been variously tarted up both sonically and in terms of the inclusion of several bonus tracks intended to either make you bang your head or get depressed even harder than the original incarnations of hate may have otherwise done.  If you want to buy some shit, and are too stupid to figure out how and where for yourself, try clicking
here.

MORE FUCKING GIGS
Fucking Mistress are fucking pleased to announce the impending fucking event of some more fucking gigs.  More will be fucking unveiled in the near fucking future, but for fucking now there's a fucking couple lined up, namely - the fucking 17th of fucking September in fucking Bournemouth and the fucking 18th of fucking September in fucking Birmingham.  The other fucking one is in fucking London on November the fucking fourth.  Fucking details on the fucking
tour page.  More to fucking follow once fucking details are fucking confirmed.

OH FUCKING BOLLOCKS
Remembered to update the MySpace page but forgot this cunt.  Well, anyone who has a look in the next couple of hours will be pleased to hear Mistress are playing tonight (that's the 2nd of Sept) with ex-Burning Witch illuminati Asva and Atavist at the Jug of Ale in Birmingham.


NO RESCUE FROM HEAVY ANNIHILATION OF EVERYTHING 21/8/05
The UK tour with Beecher and Malkovich is now concluded, and there should be some kind fo report to peruse on the net before long.  But for now there are a few more gigs cropping up - in the more distant future, there's the Everything Went Heavier/Everything Went Faster 2005 2 dayer in Nottingham, which Mistress will headline on the 'Heavier' Day, the 29th of October.  And also coming up in the next few weeks... 

The Annihilation Day 2005 festival - Mistress will be playing with Napalm Death, Send More Paramedics, Life Denied and several others at the Rescue Rooms in Nottingham on the 21st of August.  Click
HERE to view the poster.  It looks like it could easily turn out to be a fucking monster.  The following was taken from Napalm's website:

BBC RADIO 1 ROCK SHOW LIVE SESSION
A phone call a few days ago resulted in Mistress suddenly being offered the chance to perform a live session for the BBC Radio 1 Rock Show.  Details are as yet thin on the ground because everything was done at the last minute, but 4 songs were recorded, and the session should be aired within the next couple of weeks.  With any luck, this airing will coincide with the UK tour that's looming, and everything will fit together like a well designed jigsaw puzzle (soaked in piss).  More info will appear here when it's available.

MTV are Disgusted
Just a quick update to mention that fact that Mistress got mentioned on MTV.com, which was nice.  (Click here and scroll down for a look).  They said this: 'Mistress, a grindcore band from Birmingham, England, will release their debut, In Disgust We Trust, June 28. Tracks include "Happily Ever Disaster," "F---ing F---" and "Alcahole."'  Inaccurate but appreciated.  Press is being generated in preparation for the release of Disgust, so far there's an interview in the upcoming Rocksound (due out on the 8th of June), and various others in the pipeline.  Info here as and when.

A live track filmed at the Earache christmas party in December 2004 has been put out on

The track is only a rough 1 camera job and everyone was drunk by the point in the evening, but fair play to Earache for sticking it out.

LIVE DATES & ALBUM PROGRESS
After too long spent writing songs in a shithole studio (actually 2 shithole studios, the 1st one nearly burned down and was closed by the council becuase it wasn't safe.  This had nothing to do with Mistress, honest) it's time to play up live.  So on the 16th and 27th of November there will be gigs in Birmingham, to try out some of the new material.  First at Edwards with Pig Destroyer and Total Fucking Destruction on the 16th and then on the 27th at the Jug of Ale in Moseley with 5ive and Ramesses.  Plus Earache Records have been naive enough to ask Mistress to play at their Xmas bash in December.  The tour page will have details of all these in about 5 minutes.  Despite fires and relocation, In Disgust We Trust now has around 7 songs including the title track, At Arm's Length and Happily Ever Disaster.  All hail the demon god Drink.

MISTRESS SIGN WORLDWIDE DEAL WITH EARACHE RECORDS
Earache is proud to announce the signing of notorious antisocial scumsters MISTRESS to a worldwide deal. Having festered and thrived in the midst of the grimy UK grind/hardcore scene during the last few years, the band have contaminated all who they have come into contact with via a heady mixture of alcoholic inebriation, bluntly opinionated confrontation and basic feral violence.
Formed in Birmingham during 1999, Mistress have released two albums to date - 'Mistress' and 'The Chronovisor' - to rave reviews and have gigged with the likes of Napalm Death, Mayhem, Electric Wizard, Bolt Thrower and Extreme Noise Terror. Their hard-to-pin-down sound comes across as a sickening sludge/grind/doom hybrid, reminsicent of the early UK grind scene of the late 80's and early 90's, and has been described as 'a vile musical bastard, a bilious, screaming, snot-faced sludge orphan with all the taste and decorum of a sexual encounter in Wormwood Scrubbs'.
The band's refreshingly gritty approach to extreme sounds brought them to attention of Earache, whose label manager Dan Tobin comments; 'Mistress represent a lot of what the extreme music scene is lacking these days; hunger, depravity, filth, honesty, grim reality, pain, suffering and a sick appreciation for the bizarre. After breathing in the stench, we became intoxicated by their vile aura.'
Commenting on their new union, Mistress' Dave Cunt enthused; 'Mistress are both drunk with joy and just plain drunk over our signing with Earache.
Mistress have ourselves been fans of various bands on the label since the early MOSH days and now it's great to join the list of acts associated with the Earache stable in our own right.  So raise a glass/dirty needle/cup of urine, here's to the next album of filth - this time with Earache written on it!'
Plans are now in the pipeline for the forthcoming release of new Mistress album 'In Disgust We Trust' via Earache in early 2005. A split 7" with Napalm Death/Melvins/Brutal Truth side project Venomous Concept is also planned.


25th of July - MISTRESS GIG/ZOMBIE FILM!!!
Still finalising record contract details and writing new stuff, but taking a quick break from it to eat some entrails...  No idea how exactly it's going to work, but there's a gig planned on the
25th of July at Edward's No. 8 in Birmingham which will be filmed.  And turned into a zombie flick!  Something to do with the undead contagion being spread through the crowd, with appearances from various zombies, including some famous names, and Duncan eating brains.  Made by better feeling films, and they're looking for zombies...  Anyone wanting to be a zombie can turn up early (starting 12ish in the afternoon), looking reasonably normal and will get made up into a zombie and get into the gig free.  Then the gig starts about 7.30. Anyone not wanting to be a zombie (why the fuck not?!?!) can just turn up at 7.00 for a gig as normal.   Basically, it's a gig, but you can get a makeover if you come early, and there might be some fake blood to go with the real blood.  There might even be a little bit of piss taking.

ALBUM COMPLETE
Pretty much everything for the new album is done now.  Just a matter of getting it all sent off to the pressing people and hey presto, mass produced dirge.  Rage of Achilles appear to have set a release date of the 20th of October (note the use of the proper way to express a date, none of this americanised fucking October 20 bollocks).  We will hopefully have a limited supply of copies for sale at the gigs on the September mini tour.  Possibly the most unholy union of sponsorship company and band ever to have taken place is also in the pipeline.  It's so wrong it's actually right.  Watch this space...

TOUR NEWS
Slight lineup change to the September tour dates, as Palehorse will now be playing all the gigs (superb) and Murder Of will be missing a couple (less superb).  Details on the gigs page.  So what we may lose from a couple of the gigs in terms of fresh faced lad, we will be more than making up for in terms of tramp.  Also seems that Beecher playing the London show as had been rumoured is in fact just a rumour.  Shame.  Would try to write somehting vaguely interesting about it, but I need to go for a shit.

STUDIO UPDATES
Mistress started work on the follow up to the 5K rated self titled debut lp on Rage of Hovis records this week.
Saturday the main drums and guide guitar tracks laid down, Sunday the 2 main guitars and bass laid down and Tuesday the rest of the bass lead guitar tracks a a few vocal tracks finished.
More vocals to take place on Friday and then the mammoth task of mixing all this noise down on to the masters is to be done next week.
A few tweaks to songs and a better drum kit have made this version 100% better than the last effort.
watch out for photos and studio samples on here soon.
may even give you lot a sneak preview and put some of the instrumentals from the last mix on here
but thats if i'm feeling nice (which is never)
More gigs in the pipeline talks of a big support slot soon
i'll let you know when i know more

Also this week them friendly people at IRONMAN CLOTHING have chosen to
give us free stuff so go and buy stuff from them and look cool

Album looks like it'll be out in October now
artwork is near 100% done and looking brutal
look out for new stickers badges and plectrums
t shirts baseball caps sweat shirts pants shoes and kilts coming soon

MINI TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED
Mistress will be going on a mini tour in honour of the release of the new Mistress album in September.  The dates are available on the gigs page.  All the gigs will feature the company of fresh faced 'spastic madcore' band themurderof and doom people Crawl Back In.  All organised by people from the communion who should know better.

MISTRESS FORCED TO CANCEL A LOAD OF GIGS
Yep, sorry to anyone who came to see us and we cancelled, we have been trying to get the new album done and it kind of went all wrong.
First we lose our studio (because some band who were sharing the rooms (not Sally) didn't pay their rent) so we had to find a new recording studio which we have done.  But it isn't built yet so we cant rehearse or record. So we can't really do much at the moment.  Will be sorted soon though.

ALBUM UPDATES
Album was fully recorded apart from vocals and sounding very good.
But we have decided to record it all again to make it even better so we shall, as soon as the studio is built, be recording again.
10 tracks finished expect 8 on the album ...
also look out for a cover of the Danzig Classic "Mother"
it will only be available from this site and wont be on any album or single released by us...
studio pictures and samples will be available here soon ....

New merch will be available for the upcoming album in Septemeber we are just finalising the designs ...

TOUR IN SEPTEMBER
A tour is been booked, the dates will be up here very soon just finalising the details
Support will be by Palehorse i think.
so come and see us

MISTRESS IN THE STUDIO!!!
Yep, Mistress are currently recording the followup to the 5k rated self titled album from last year.
given a release date for this coming september, 10 tracks have been written and all the drums have been completed
stay tuned for updates. this album will not be rushed so expect a lot of updates and maybe if we can be arsed a few photos from the sessions
basic guitars and bass will be added on saturday.
all new mrechandise will be available from this album from september .
so get your Cunts t shirts while u can
they wont be reprinted!!

FORUM IS BACK!!!
Yep, the much-missed forum is back up and running. As before, go to the forum link from the index page, and then go to the forum from the link on that page. Sorry if its long winded, but we can't use HTML. Feel free to leave a message telling us how totally metal and cool we are, or let us know that we're a bunch of downtuned baseball cap-wearing bandwagon-jumping faggots.

MISTRESS No 9 IN TERRORIZER'S BEST ALBUMS OF THE YEAR
Thats right Mistress get to number 9 in the to 40 albums of the year in Terrorizer with the little caption "Take large dollops of Iron Monkey, Eyehategod add roughly chopped chunks of Darkthrone and Terrorizer and marinate in cider and piss until truly rancid.
The result? Mistress' self-titled debut, an out of control cacophony of 'Drind-metal' and a musical monument to all kinds of filth and depravity.
What a fucking bunch of cunts."

The Top Ten were
1. Isis - Oceanic
2. Nile - In There Darkest Shrines
3. Electric Wizard - Let Us Prey
4. Frost - Cursed Again
5. The Great Deceiver - A Venom Well Designed
6. Napalm Death - Order of the Leach
7. Opeth - Deliverance
8. Mastodon - Remission
9. Mistress - Mistress
10. Satyricon - Volcano
Also in the Readers poll Frost are 3rd in the Best newcomer and Anaal Nathrakh are joint 7th with Into Eternity
and Migg gets voted joint 9th Best Musician with Alexi Laiho 
Not bad for a bunch of cunts

MISTRESS AND NAPALM DEATH DEAD (BUT BIRMINGHAM SHOW STILL ON)
Owing to a lack of communication with the agency promoting Napalm Death's tour, Mistress' slot on the bill for the gig at the Mean Fiddler in London has been given to a band called Johnny Truant.  Without getting into great detail, suffice to say Mistress are gutted about losing out on the gig.  Assurances have been given that the Birmingham show will go ahead however, despite what may or may not have been advertised in various magazines.  So expect to see Mistress there venting their considerable frustration at a state of affairs that wasn't really anyone's fault, but is a pain right between the buttocks nonetheless.  Apologies to anyone in London misguided enough to have been looking forward to the show - just mark it down as a pisser of a mix up.  But you should probably still keep your cider closely guarded coz we'll be back to nick it again soon...

MISTRESS IN METAL HAMMER


HYPER 7 INCH GO GO MEGAFUCK!!
Is the Japanese way of saying that the 7" splits with Sally are apparently available now from Bearos records.
2 vinyls making a paired set, each with a different track from Mistress and from Sally's forthcoming second effort.  All slapped on daft coloured records.  Brill.  As mentioned before, they're pretty limited, so get in quick or forever lament having missed that there boat.

GIGS UPDATE & THANKS FOR MORROWFEST
Just to point out, we have a few gigs coming up though September, detailed on our gigs page.  7th Sept will be Worcester, 13th Manchester, and 15th back in the birthplace of heavy metal, Brum.  Thanks also to anyone who made it to the Morrowfest yesterday in Nottingham (and there were a LOT of people wo did).  It was a fantastic success, and would have done anyone's memory proud.  A fitting tribute, and we can all take away the knowledge that we were right there on a night that will be remembered for a long time to come.  RIP.

MISTRESS VIDEO!!!!
Coming soon the first official Mistress Video for the track "God of Rock"
filmed live at Necrodeath studios with about 1 million ppl or maybe not that many squashed into a room the size of my ass.
Should be able to play straight from the site or download if your a slow cunt on dial up.

2 7 INCH SPLITS
2 Mistress / Sally split 7 inchs should be out soon one on Bearos records (Apparently on red vinyl)
the other on newly formed side label of speedowax records, Thrash Attakk records (this on is apparently half black half white)
these are going to be limited editions and have already got a high presale so look out for links on how to get them
the artwork for both 7 inchs is the same but inverted to make them a set, so buy both.....

buy it now slag.

AMERICANS CAN NOW LISTEN TO OUR FILTH
Be you a dweller of swamps, deserts or metropoli, as long as you're American you can now get the Mistress album through Century Media's online shop.  Since the US arm of CM is a bit retarded (I suppose you have to expect that, though), their track listing shows only 5 of the 9 songs on the disk.  Apparently having a look at the back of the CD case and reading the song titles is a bit difficult.  Great.  Still, it's $11, which works out fucking cheaper than fucking here.  Which isn't fucking fair.  And that's the bottom line coz Mr Cunt said so.

HELPING CLOTHE LONDON'S POOR PEOPLE
The gig at the Garage with Labrat et al. is this Friday, 21/6. (If you didn't know that, you're stupid - look at the big picture on the index page, fuckwit).  Mistress will be taking some shirts & CDs etc, presumably so will the other guys, so bring some cash and buy whatever turns out to be most offensive to your grandparents.

WE WANT YOUR FUCKING TV
Deep in the festering pits of Necrodeath, a video has been recorded of Mistress playing a mini-gig in the company of a handful of the metal faithful.  Cheers to all who made it, it was a laff (albeit a bit of a hot and putrid laff).  With luck we''ll all get our ugly faces on telly or sommat.  Cheers especially to Mr Andrew Parker, esq., who will be lending his production talents to the task of turning 40 or so mins of violence and stupidity into something that looks vaguely proper.

7.5 / 10 IN TERRORIZER

and earnest nu-metal."
"it's also one of the best albums, of any genre, that you'll hear this year"
Oh yeah and the lucky guy in the crowd in the front of the mag wins a cd.  Woo hoo bet he's pleased.

MISTRESS PISS IN YOUR DINNER!
Check out the latest issue of Terrorizer (with Chuck Schuldiner on the front) for a review of the gig down Camden Town with Benny and Bolty.  Choice quotes from the Mistress writeup include '...Mistress seem intent to go even further down the couldn't-give-a-shit-if-you-live-or-die path, vomiting out some nihilistic, antisocial and genuinely horrible sounds.'  Those Terrorizer people say such nice things.

ALBUM COMPLETED
All tracks for the new album are now finished a tracklist will be on here soon. 9 tracks of doom sludge grind filth.  Buy it slag.

STUDIO UPDATE & LONDON GIG NEWS
Work continues apace in the stench ridden catacombs of Necrodeath Studios.  A grand total of 5 songs are now fully recorded, with the remainder just awaiting vocal blasphemy before they are complete.  Utterly despicable vile heaviness, smeared with the pustulent canker of the angriest of puke.  Nice.  Plus, the Mistress gig in London with Bolt Thrower and Benediction (who says death metal's dead?!?!) was set to be cancelled, owing to lackofdavecuntitis on the night.  However, one of the most legendarily CUNTISH Londoners alive will be stepping unto the breach, dear friends, and the day is saved.  Long live the RAT!

2 ALBUMS ON RAGE OF ACHILLES
Mistress have just signed a 2 album agreement with Rage of Achilles records
The first album will be out about febuary ish and before that a rerecorded version of Stuntcock will be featured on the Rage of Achilles sampler
if all goes to plan then this shall be out early next year.
Mistress are now busy recording in Necrodeath studios.
Also Mistress have a support slot on the Bolt thrower gig in london on january the ninth at the Underworld in Camden.

MISTRESS TO THE RESCUE
Owing to illness in the ranks, Dave's other band, Frog, had to pull out of a gig the other day with local(ish) hardcore superstars Decimate, 'unfortunate' black cunt tree bosters Creep (aka Dead Sun Rising) and Inside Conflict, who are ironically enough French.  Never fear though, for Mistress are here!  We stepped in at the 11th hour, and filled the gaping, Frog shaped void in the bill with a set of disgusting heaviness and jokes in such bad taste that not even the sickos laughed.  We did though.  23/11/01 - a date to go down in history as the day Mistress were absolute cunts (hardly surprising), belligerent, half drunk and utterly un-hardcore.  DOWN WITH LIFE METAL!

WORCESTER IS FUCKING ACE!!
Yep, thats right, Worcester is officially FUCKING ACE! Cheers to all that came to the Appletree gig on Saturday, despite it being our first gig for months, everything went well. And a hearty thanks to The Finishing School for organising the gig, especially at a venue where every other building is either a boozer, an offy or a takeaway, which certainly pleased Dunc, Dave and Leroy Sally. And finally, apologies to the staff in the petrol station outside Worcester for Dunc falling over a magazine stand, then shouting the word 'cunt'. Then buying some Porn. Let us play there again, t'was ace.
