Artwork Complete, New T-shirts, New Material + More
The artwork from Lee is complete but you don't get to see it just yet hehe just take my word that it looks amazing and it will be well worth the wait, we've also received the first section of our merch the Thrash til' the Beer Runs Out T-shirts and i'm in talks about possibly getting sweatbands, beanies etc. so dig deep because we're trying to raise the funds for the next C.D and fuel prices that are constantly on the rise are totally eating all of our money.
We've basically completed work on a new song entitled Retaliate With Force so check out that nutty thrash-out of a song at a gig soon, and we have lots and lots of other material to wade through, so more tracks on the way.
For the new recording we've had a idea that we think would be quite cool involving you guys but we're keeping it on the down-low at the moment, all shall be revealed soon!!

New Bassist, New Name and New Artwork
We've been hard at work over past couple of months with many changes to the band, with a shift in the line-up welcoming Kirk Stephens back on the bass, we have also changed our name to Painkiller simply because we were fed up with having a name that did'nt represent our music, we decided on Painkiller as a homage to the awesome Judas Priest album (so no anti-biotic jokes, we're getting fucking sick of them) and finally we have art work nearing completion by the amazingly talented Lee Gaskins for the follow up to Skulls On Fire, and its looking fucking sick
Also we're working on new material so we'll let you know when we have any updates on that, keep checking back
