About Me

What started as a solo project has blossomed into more. I'd like to see you tell Jack Batchelder you weren't interested in having him play drums. Are you fucking nuts? Josh Salley has added much to this project as well. He has taken a leave of absence. Sam French is filling in. If Josh decides to come back, we will most likely have a thundering dual bass onslaught. Jestin Jund (yes, Dear Chechnya Jestin) has jumped on board as well, bringing some added elements that really pull you in to the songs. This solo project has turned into a full-fledged band, and I couldn't be happier. Hopefully, in the future, we'll have a guest vocalist for some cover work we want to do.

Thanks to all of you who came out to the Sod Hauler show last night. We had a great time, despite a few fuck-ups here and there (really, it wouldn't be the same if we didn't). Placentagram was f...

t-shirts

There's a good chance we'll have shirts at the June 6th show. Jack burned the screen and ran a couple samples off. They look killer. Now we just have to order shirts. Jack found some very decentl...

Doom J. Lewis

Just read in the Rapid City Journal, the man who is on the samples in Doom J Lewis has died. Yes, the answering machine messages were "real." None of that was set-up or scripted. Take a moment to list...

There’s heavy, and then there’s HEAVY

Our beloved friend and bandmate, Josh, has decided to take a leave of absence from the band. He's got a lot going on, and I hope things settle down for him. I'm hoping that he'll get through the BS in...
