UPDATE / 1st SHOW / WRITING EP
Well, we haven't updated this in some time now so just to let you know what's going on..
We played our first show ever, in Colchester with Postmortem Promises on May 1st. And it was awesome!
We sold a wicked amount of advanced presale tickets for a first show..70 something I seem to recall. So cheers to all our fans for snapping them up and coming down to support us. You guys are wicked!
We've got a second show booked at The Twist for May 23rd. Check out the flyer for that on our page and come down to show some support!
Bookings are being made for plenty of other shows at the moment, so make sure you keep up to date with when we're playing near you and come down to support us!
We've just begun writing for an EP that we're planning to record and release sometime over the summer. So far, all the rough ideas and the basic versions of the tracks are sounding great and we can't wait to get into writing it properly!
No release date has been set, although we're hoping to begin recording in the next 2 months or so.
The worst thing we could do is rush ourselves and let the desperation for you guys to hear the tracks affect the writing and production, so we're dead set on not letting that happen!
It's going to be self recorded and produced (with some shiny new gear! :D), so we can take our sweet time on it and not let any studio time / costs get in the way. Also meaning that we can re-write and re-record as we go to get the best out of ourselves.
It would suck to rush into releasing something which 2 or 3 months down the line, we won't be happy with. Which is why we're getting redick about it!
If you're lucky we might chuck another DEMO of one of the tracks up on our page sometime to keep you up to date with what we're getting up to.
New layout, promos and shows coming soon so keep an eye out!

BASSIST FOUND!
We're all glad to welcome Tom back into the band back on the ol' bass geetar!
After a few months away and various changes it seemed the right thing to do to come back to the band and metal it up with the boys once more!
Tom's working hard on learning the newer of the tracks and we're all practicing our asses off ready to hit the stage in May.
Speaking of which..tickets for the PMP show on May 1st are now available!
Just a message away. And you only have to part with a fiver!

Ch..Ch..Ch..Changes../ BASSIST NEEDED!
Hey guys.
To update you on the current situation...we parted ways with Chris last week for a few reasons which we don't care to go into. But, as a band we feel that it was the right thing to do.
We had a wicked time writing, playing, recording and generally pissing about with Chris and he will definitely be missed..although the change does mean that the four of us will have a chance at getting a few slices of pizza before it's ravenously devoured by the eating machine!! ; )
We all wish Chris the best of luck in the future with any bands/projects and hope to share a stage with him sometime soon!
The change means that Vinnie will now wielding an axe alongside Mike!
And we begin a search for a new bassist.
What were after:
- Aged 16 - Early 20s
- Own equipment. Doesn't have to be top of the range.
- Own transport would be a bonus but is by no means essential.
- Able to practice in Harwich, Essex on Sundays. Possibly with additional rehearsals some weekday evenings. Trains and busses from London and Colchester run very close by the studio.
- Liking our music/style would also be a great help.
- Committed.
- Good stage precense. Not essential..we'll metal you up. ; )
- Up for a great laugh.
- Metal as fuck.
If you happen to match a few of the above, don't hesitate to get in touch and we'll get you down for an audition! Or if you know anyone who might be intrested..tell them to check us out!!
We're laid back guys and are willing to try out almost anyone.
Contact: Message our Myspace or alternatively call/text 07968290161 (evenings are best).
Fancy being an utter legend and reposting this? It'd help us out... ; )
Cheers guys.
Look forward to hearing from you!

2nd TRACK / SHOWS / GROUP / PLANS
Hey!
Thanks to everyone who's had a chance to listen to the track and given us wicked feedback! Much appreciated. Rapidly approaching the 1000 play mark which is cool considering it's only been up for four full days now. So thanks again guys!! =D
We're hoping to have another full track completed by Sunday evening, but we're not quite sure when that's gonna be reaching your ears. Sooner rather than later let's hope!
After the completion of the recording of this track, we're going to be focusing on writing some wicked new ones and re-writing our existing ones in order to get the best out of ourselves and use the full potential of the songs to expand them into epic masterpieces or just heavy-ass bastads to go mental to!
We're aiming to write as many as possible and use the best 7 or so to make up our set, with sight to record and release an EP sometime in May!
Rough work on some tracks has begun and with the small amount of progress made so far...you're in for a treat!! ; )
May 1st is going to be our first show at The Twist in Colchester, Essex. And as first shows go, it's a good bill to be on!
Postmortem Promises
When All Else Fails
Unleash: The Fury
Bleed Like Me
The Dishonoured
Make sure you drag yourself and your mates along for a great night of metal, and don't miss our set as it'll be your first real preview of the EP!!

First Full Track Uploaded!!
We've all been working hard and we've finally got a full track uploaded!!
'Through Blackened Skies' is a track that we have recorded as part of our DEMO work in order to release a full EP sometime in the future.
'DEMO' basically means that it's a basic version of the track which is likely to have subtle or radical differences when it is released on an EP or album.
The track was recorded by oursleves along with a few others which we'll upload and share with you in our own time.
But for now...check out the new track, let us know what you think and spread the word!!!

DEMO / Pre-Production Update.
Well, it's been a few weeks since we've done anything so we thought we'd check in and keep you up to date with what's actually going on!
We've just started to record our wicked new vocals for the first two tracks in our DEMO / Pre-Production material and so far they're sounding sick!
We're working hard with lyrics, phrasing and continuing work on the rest of the tracks which due to lack of spare time and some minor software issues still aren't fully mixed and mastered!
But, with any luck, you should have a couple of fully finished tracks to listen to within the next week or so!
So, make sure you check back and keep an eye out for updates!
And spread the word!!
The Dishonoured.

We Have A Vocalist!
Yo Guys!
Well, it only took a few days, but we've found ourselves one sick-ass vocalist!
Declan came down for an audition the other night and we were all blown away by his abilities!
Thanks to everyone who contacted us about joining, helped spread the word and to those who came down for an audition/didn't make it; we wish you all the best in the future!
Work on the 3 recorded Demo tracks is continuing slowly but surely, due to work an various other commitments. But we hope to get some vocals down soon and upload some full tracks!
For the meantime we have a 1 minute clip of a track for you guys to check out.
Let us know what you think!

We Need A New Vocalist!
We've all had to make an important decision, but what's done is done and it was for then benefit of the band, nothing personal at all.
After months of practiscing and writing it's becoming increasingly clear that Louis wasn't cut out to be the vocalist in this band. Although he's no longer in the line up he'll still remain a member of the band behind the scenes and one of our best friends.
Getting to the point...We need a new vocalist!!
What we're after..
- Low roars and high screams. Anything in between is a bonus.
- Clean vocals, i.e. the ability to sing isn't a necessity but it may be a bonus.
- A decent stage presence as the rest of us will be going mental!
- Aged about 18 to 21 (although we can make acceptions if you're not).
- Needs to be around the essex area and be able to practice on sundays. Own transport would be a plus as always, but it's not essential.
- Love metal!!
If you're interested please let us know and we will send you a track to listen to. We're all cool guys and get on with anyone so try your luck!!
