I'm finding this Weebly provided Blog to be user unfriendly, so click on that link for all tour reports, reviews and ramblings. At the time of writing it's just the Deathfeast show report, but this time I definitely do mean it when I say we'll be posting on it a lot more regularly. I've already written a retrospective tour diary of our month in Europe with Misery Index and Grave in 2010 which will be up soon, so keep checking back.

Queuing in the cold since half past four,
Want to be the first ones through the door.
We were eager and young, our journey had just begun,
But we were hungry for more, we’d stay true we swore.

Death Metal, Black Metal, Thrash or Punk,
Hardcore, Grindcore, Doom or Sludge,
To us it was one, DIY was law,
It was the underground and we supported it proud.

Coloured vinyl, Gatefold sleeves, Limited editions not MP3s.
The Devil’s Church, The Braindead Club, The King’s Cross Red Eye, The Standard Pub.

Fanzines, mixtapes, word of mouth and trading demos was soon phased out
for downloading albums in their scores, reducing music to ones and noughts

Corporate sponsorship on venue walls,
No history of the bands who played before


"Why go outside when we can sit online and support the scene from behind a screen."
"The world wide web is where we’ll convene, making empty threats and arguing"

What the fuck have you done to my scene!???

Ad Nauseam literally means ‘to the point of nausea’ and is a reflection not only of how much of our blood, sweat and tears went into making this the album of our collective careers, but also the way we go about making and playing our music at all times. Everything done to the maximum or not at all, no compromise and no trying to live up to other people’s expectations of what we should be doing, we do this on our terms and we don’t let anything stand in our way. Tim played a festival 2 days after cutting his finger off for fuck sake, he didn’t moan once, he just got on with it! How many guitarists can you say that about??? We put everything we have into this band, we live it and we breath it and we feel privileged to still be doing it after all these years. Nothing is taken for granted because we know it could all end in a second. 

Play your music to the point of nausea or fuck off!!!
