Take As Needed For Pain

THERE IS POSITIVE NEWS.

Three weeks ago we received the test-pressings of the 12" with Starve. We heartily approved them (the sound is so much better when compared to the mp3). GO AND PRINT.

Well, no.

But now, all the artwork problems have been resolved and today we got an email, telling us that they'll be shipped the 29th of August!

There are 250 black LPs and 50 crystal-meth, pre-orders have started via badger_records@hotmail.com, but as soon as there are records proper, we will make them obtainable in our bandcamp.

So, we have another release-party to look forward to. But this time, the records will actually be there. And of course, we will have our CRY ME A BADGER FEST 2012 at the ACU. It will take place the 16th of September, a Sunday late afternoon show, and we will be again bejoined by STARVE, our Northern buddies in Ortega and the amazing UK Caveman Battle-Doom heroes of Conan.

As soon as there's a flyer and more info it'll get posted here.

As for the rest, we are still looking at an end of the year/start of next year tour with label-buddies The Great Old Ones, so bookers take note. We are mainly looking for shows on the mainland Europe, but the UK is doable too.

New songs are coming up too, we have just started working on what might well be the last song needed for the full-length. As soon as everyone's done holidaying and marrying we will finish this elusive beast.

We chipped at the bricks and the mortar

Halfway through recording day, we're going faster than expected. Drums and bass are fully recorded, and we have one guitar-line which seems useable. Next up, vocals (gang-vocals and handclaps) and Demian's voyage into the realms of heavy guitaring. Sweet.

Tonight, we'll post some pictures and/or movies. Know that they'll contain Lil' B, football, Comin' Correct and Nyan Cat. Sorry.

7 Channels of TRVE

So we've entered the studio again, this time under the watchful eyes and ears of our long time sound engineer/friend/driver/etc Freek of Doombringer. He will be guiding this whole process of recording the 'A Chosen Hollow'. Tonight we picked up our stuff at the rehearsel space and drove to the studio which is at a farm nearby Amersfoort.

In the few hours we had we build up the drums, tuned them, placed the microphones and did some test takes. (only drums and drums + guitar). It already sounds awesome and we can't wait to start the real recording process tomorrow.

Will keep you posted.

Et sekund? Eller et liv?

Tomorrow, we're entering the studio to record "A Chosen Hollow".

Under the mocking guidance of the Red October from DOOMBRINGER AUDIO, we'll spend a weekend recording drums, guitar and bass, and in three weeks time the other guitars, instruments and vocals will be done. Hopefully, this will result in a new record release at the end of September.

Since our drummer has a new toy, and will constantly film and make pictures, I'll harass you with updates via this blogspot as the days go by and I get bored.

Furthermore, the test-pressings of our EP are on their way, so that's coming along too. Looks like September is going to be one hell of a month.

To celebrate that, we have another show plannend for the 2nd of September. We'll be playing at the OCCII with the Danish monsters of Moonless. This will be our second show ever in Amsterdam after an amazing show with Bone Awl. Come along, drink beer and intimidate small people so we can feel at home again!

En Tyst Minut

Not much happening right now, but I thought I'd share with you that our newest song, which will go on the split with STARVE, is as good as finished, and recording starts next week. It's a beast of a song, 14+ minutes of blasts, feedback and looming pain.

We have one more show added, being at the Willem 2 in Den Bosch, where we'll do an hour long show on Sunday the 6th of November. This'll be our longest show yet, so come and see if Joost can survive that.

We're working on a weekend with the mighty Funeral Procession for the middle of October, as soon as we know more of that, I'll let you know.
