Hey everyone, thanks for being so patient with us. Over the years we’ve found that things like comfort, positivity and working at our own pace have outprioritized promotion, business and that whole what-we-think-you’ll-think thing.
That said, right now we’re spending a lot of time brainstorming and listening to new music and generally finding inspiration for the future. When we wrote and recorded the "A Life In Blue" E.P. the concept of of Robert Johnson’s story as an epic really sparked our creativity. It felt like the demo wrote itself (well, maybe true with a little help from the Devil and of course Robert himself from beyond the grave haha).
We haven’t been playing or writing much but right now, we’re happy that way. Andy is having a great time with colossus and mike has joined a band called The Reaping. Rick has spent some time with a few serious bands as well including Gabriella Cutthroat. Jeremy and myself are full-time drug addicts (kidding, just part-time) and have to run shit real in a few kitchens around town.
My point is don’t forget about us because when we’re ready, we will find you, we will grab you by the hair and, with an explosion of blood and napalm, we will supercollide your face with the new shit. And hopefully it’ll be worth the wait.
We love you guys! Now here’s a story about how much we love each other:
=====
This is a band, built from nothing. No music scene, no fashion, no shoulders to stand on, no vision in sight. Just a bunch of teenagers making music that became a force to truly be reckoned with. In the years that The Manhattan Project fought the good fight, they were met with nothing but hardships along the way. Eventually, the overbearing nature of a flooded market for extreme music, coupled with the discontent of the band members for the state of affairs of the loud music scene, there was no where to go. Clawing away at the sinking grave of metal music, and after seemingly endless strings of bad tours, poor decisions and just downright shitty luck, combined with being completely broke and tackled only left these men loving each other even more for being so pure in the battle to create something from nothing.
