New Material Updates

Hey guys! I've been getting a lot of messages on the Myspace asking about our new songs and what our plans are for the future. Since we parted ways with MetalBlade we've been working our asses off to try and make music that would get us noticed by another label. Here's the outline pretty much of what we want to go down.

1. Write new music - So far we have about six (6) new songs, four (4) of which are up on the myspace player. The reason we took off all the songs from the Vultures release was because we wanted to forge a new beginning, a new style, and pretty much a new band with our new material.

2. Press package - A press package is probably one of the single most important tools a band has to communicate with a label seeking artists. A well put together press package consists of: 

A. Demo Songs

B. Band Bio

C. Tour History

D. Promo Pics

E. Recorded Live Performance

F. Any Other Releases (in our case this would mean sending a copy of Vultures, but this is 

     optional obviously)

3. TOUR - Touring is probably the best thing I have ever done. Its you and your four best friends all in a van together driving across the country to play your Satan music to kids. This is pretty much what I want to do the rest of my life (whether if be with this band or not). One of the things a lot of people don't know is that the bands VERY RARELY book their own tours. I get some messages here and there asking us if a band can open for us, or if they can hop on the bill of a certain show, and guys its really not up to us. Sometimes I wish it was because we understand you guys are in the same situation as we are; trying to get yourself out there; and it sucks to have to tell someone that we can't do anything for them.

Right now we are working full-time trying to get a deal going, and trying to get ourselves out there as much as we can. Hopefully these mini-tours coming up in March and April will give us the final push we've been looking for. We have been recording all our new songs as we write them for pre-production purposes. It is a hundred times better to go into a professional studio with a pre-production demo so the engineer wont be fumbling around in the dark. He can have all the effects and add-ins right in front of him, which makes the process less time consuming, and ultimately saves the record label money on recording (they love anything that will save money). We have recorded ALL of our pre-production demo songs with a really close friend of ours Bobby Swanson @ Mayhemeness Studios. He has really cheap rates, and really high quality recordings, and he's amazing at what he does, hit him up if you are in a band in the Sacramento (or outlying) areas and you need quality recording

We're about to leave for our show in Visalia tonight, I hope to see everyone out there, come to the merch table and say what's up, we always love talking to you guys.
