Okay, so this is the untimate update.
This is what has been happening for the last 8-9 months;
After Metalstock 2006 in April....the whole band decided to go on a break for awhile. For individual reasons and because of Marshalls car accident.
Few months after doing nothing, Dave and Nathan decided to leave because it wasn't their thing anymore. So they left and took their other project Vitus full on. Good on them either way I say. Theres no harsh terms, and we're still good buddies.
Luke had been living hours away, so me and him didnt see each other at all for months on end. And it kinda seemed the band was dead.
So anyway, in November 06. Luke moved back to the Coast and talks started about finding new members and getting the band up and going again.
So we signed up for Metalstock 2007 hoping we'd be ready by then. Turns out we wern't and had to pull off. For the best.
Now, I'm on guitar and we have a new drummer lined up. We have a few bassist's in mind and also a 2nd guitarist.
All the old songs have been pulled out of the old COI Lair and are getting re-learned and re-written...(in parts).
We've been recording rough demos in the COI Lair, getting right sounds and stuff like that. These demo's wont be released or be for download anywhere, so dont ask haha.
As for the line up situation, so many people have asked whats going with it....but this is all I'm gonna give out for the moment (I'll update when more info arrives).
Luke Cowan - Vocals
Adam Myers - Guitar
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - Bass
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - Drums
2 new songs have been written for the album. 'Death's Odyssey' & 'Damned After Sundown'. A cover is being worked on also, 'By The Light' by Obituary.
More songs have been written, but wont be on the album. They'll be for a future demo/EP and the next album. And trust me....they are going to sound a fuck load different then all of our old stuff. Heavier. But thats getting way ahead.
We've been in contact with a professional artist for album artwork. But nothing is fully confirmed yet, but once it is....the album cover will be posted here and on myspace for your viewing pleasure. Dont ask for a sneek preview, cos it wont happen (all for copyright reasons).
We're doing a DVD. It'll be called 'THE PISSHEADS' and is going to come in 3 parts.....ie; THE PISSHEADS 1, 2 & 3.
They will be kind of a mix between the Pantera Home Videos and the Jackass series....but not exactly.....thats just to give you a hint on what it'll be kinda like.
Bonus features will include shit like live footage of us and mates bands. Our official video clip. Which will be our song 'Feed The Moon'. In depth interviews with all the band members, including ex-members....if they want anyway. And yeah, a whole heap of other shit.
Oh and not to mention the actual movie feature....THE PISSHEADS! haha.
The DVD will probably be released officially...and will be avalable for purchase at places like JB-HIFI, Taget, Big W...you know...all those joints where they sell DVD's.
So yeah, just to confirm....we ARE still together and will be ready for gigging after the album has been released, which will probably be mid this year. So hang tight....and get ready to have a whole heap of aussie metal shoved in your clacker.
I think I've covered everything....but if theres anything else you wanna know, or if you have any comments on the album and DVD news....or anything really, reply right here!
