Slowly we're getting used to standard life again. Ireland remains in our blood and liver though.
Last Sunday, we played in Den Bosch for a couple of people, but we played our longest set ever (over an hour) and we survived! The people that were there heard all our new songs, and the general judgment was that they were better than the EP and loud. And when Freek de Greef tells you that, you know that he's telling the truth 'cause he's the most critical, sour bastard I know. One love, invisible antlers.
Next up is Slugfest, an amazing festival filled with loads of heavy bands. The 26th will feature Dutch bands like Starve and Toner Low and international highlights such as Diet Pills, Undergang and Premonition 13, Wino's new band!
A Chosen Hollow is still being processed. I want that fucking record so bad. Patience, my children, patience...

At the Base of the Giant's Throat.
IRELAND WAS AMAZING.
We are filled with hundreds of stories, mostly about Andy, Howard and Barry of Five Will Die fame, even though Barry is know for fucking everything else as well. We made new friends, especially the guys from Gacy's Threads and Ilenkus, shared loads of pints with old friends, and generally enjoyed a weekend fit for gods.
Especially the Siege of Limerick was outstanding. I urge you to check out Three Hour Ceasefire (harsh, relentless hardcore), Rites (amazing doomy hardcore), Shardborne (intricate techy death) and I'll Eat Your Face (powerVIOLENCE). After drinking for 12 hours straight, we played a set we enjoyed much, as did the 100 or so people left there, even if it meant breaking strings, head-wounds around and bouncers kicking us out 5 minutes after playing. We'll be back, Limerick.
This Sunday, we're playing the Heavy Hangout in the W2 in Den Bosch. We'll play from 1600-1700, play "A Chosen Hollow" for the first time for natives, there'll be a specially brewed beer and there'll be a black metal DJ harassing people. I've had worse Sundays.
As did Richard.

Hell Broke Luce
Quick update;
All tracks for the split with Starve are mastered now, they sound amazing. This record will be out soon. SIKED. A soon as there's a release-show available, we'll tell you. Chances are none they'll be done when we play together in Eindhoven.
We're heading for Ireland this Saturday, we'll try to take along some merch but it won't be much due to ridiculous prices for taking stuff on journeys. But we're stoked for sharing the stages with friends and comrades in bile.
We'll be playing lots of new songs in Ireland, since no one will have heard them anyway so fuck-ups won't be heard. I things work out well, we'll do the same in Den Bosch.
Ireland, Brabant, prepare yourselves!
Oh, and we're coming back to the UK in February! Leeds is booked for the 18th, Nottingham for the 22nd, everything else will be filled these next weeks.

This Entire Fucking Battlefield
Bunch of shows coming up!
Next week, we'll be touring Ireland for a couple of days! Saturday evening, we'll play Fred Zeppelin's in Cork, together with FIVE WILL DIE and Gacy's Threads. It's a free show, but givin us money for shirts and records will be massively appreciated. The day after that, we're playing Siege Over Limerick, and that's going to be a journey through the 7 rings of hell for sure. Loads of bands, half-naked women selling/pushing Jagermeister and BEARDS AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE. This is going to be amazing.
The weekend after that, the 6th of November, we're playing a Sunday matinee in the W2 in Den Bosch. It's called Heavy Hangout, and basically it means that there's a bunch of DJ's playing black metal records, we'll be playing for an hour or so, and then there's more music and special beers. This'll be the longest set we've ever played, so come and laugh at us while we slowly play more doomy blackmetal due to lack of fitness.
And in bigger news, the 10th of December will also be a first, as we are playing two shows on the same day, across the country!
We start the day by playing Maas Metal Meeting, as part of the hometown-farewell show of God Dethroned, the Dutch Death Masters. We will be joined by Grimm, Monolith Deathcult and Prostitute Disfigurement amongst others, so this is going to be a blast.
After Groningen, we'll race our van to Den Haag, where we'll play as part of the State-X New Forms Festival. As soon as there's more information on that, we'll post that here. But apparently, we're headed under the characterisation of avant-garde rock. Fuck you hipsterblack!
Ad in closing, our new record is as good as done! We finished mixing and mastering last week, the STARVE side has been sent for mastering, this release is bound to happen before December. We'll post the lyrics and artwork soon.
