UNFORTUNATELY, OUR SHOW AT THE FIREHOUSE GRILLE WAS CANCELLED DUE TO THE BOOKER AND BAR OWNER NOT BEING ABLE TO COME TO A PAYMENT AGREEMENT. SORRY TO THOSE WHO WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE PUNK AND GRIND.
WE ARE ALSO IN NEED OF A DRUMMER FOR OUR HALLOWEEN SHOW IN BALTIMORE ON SATURDAY, THE 29TH. OUR CURRENT DRUMMER CANNOT MAKE IT, SO WE NEED A BLASTBEAT FREAK TO FILL IN. PLEASE HIT UP OUR CONTACT PAGE IF YOU'RE INTERESTED OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO MAY BE UP FOR IT.

WE HAVE TWO RAD SHOWS COMING UP IN OCTOBER. THE FIRST IS ON SATURDAY THE 8TH AT THE FIREHOUSE BAR & GRILL IN FAIRFAX, VA. THE SECOND IS OUR 2ND ANNUAL HALLOWEEN SHOW, WHICH WILL BE ON SATURDAY THE 29TH. FOR MORE INFO ON WHO ELSE IS PLAYING AND OTHER CRAP, CHECK THE SHOWS SECTION.
THE FIRST RUN OF 50 HANDMADE SWORDS CD'S IS NEARLY SOLD OUT, SO WE WILL HAVE 100 OR SO MANUFACTURED IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THESE WILL NOT BE NUMBERED, SO IF YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE WEIRDO COLLECTOR DUDES WHO CARES ABOUT FIRST-RUN NUMBERED GRIND ALBUMS, YOU SHOULD BUY ONE BEFORE THE FIRST BATCH IS ALL GONE. THEY ARE AVAILABLE HERE.
UNFORTUNATELY, THREE FACES OF EVE LOST THEIR DRUMMER, SO THE SPLIT CASSETTE IS GOING TO BE PUSHED BACK ANOTHER MONTH OR SO TILL THEY CAN BRING SOMEONE NEW IN TO BLAST. IN THE MEAN TIME, SWORDS WILL BE RECORDING A FEW TRACKS FOR VARIOUS COMPS AND PROMO STUFF IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THEY WILL BE RETARDED, FOR SURE.
