No fierce drug habits (ie: anything white, anything injected or snorted)
INSANE DOUBLE BASS SKILLS A MUST (as in 16th notes at 200+ BPM)
PLAYING TO A METRONOME A MUST
WILLING TO TOUR 9 MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR FOR VERY LITTLE MONEY A MUST.
18+ (prefer 21+)
MUST HAVE YOUR OWN GEAR
No Ego trips, Cockblockers or Rockstars, we've already got 2 of em.
MUST be willing and able to practice AT LEAST 3 times a week in INDIANAPOLIS.

"If you do not meet all of these requirements don't respond, we're not trying to waste your time or ours and this is a VERY serious situation. Not that our band is SUPER SERIOUS, but in order for us to tour when our record is released, this kinda takes the forefront. If you Don't like Thrash, or bands with melody, don't bother responding either.

"We're getting tours lined up for next year and our record comes out jan 23rd, so basically we've got exactly one month and 3 weeks to train YOU!

"We like to have fun, we're all drinkers (save mike v) we do stupid shit on tour and generally act like a bunch of douche bags. We're ready to take over are YOU?

"Think you can do it? hit us up at year_of_desolation AT hotmail.com"

Darkest Hour Guitarist Discusses Heath Issues

Darkest Hour guitarist Kris Norris has commented on the health crisis that forced the group to cancel the last few shows of their Fall tour with Soilwork, Mnemic, and Threat Signal. Here's a statement from Norris:

"After getting a few emails about this I decided to just say why we cancelled a few shows on the last tour...ok here's what happened, I've finally comes to terms with discussing this as it's very personal to me....I have a weird genetic calcium/enzyme deficiency disease that effects my mother's side of the family. Basically, my teeth were rotting out from this and I was struck with a very violent infection and had to be rushed to the hospital and this forced me to have 19 teeth surgically removed and a denture plate put in. I have recovered enough to do the UK tour but without insurance it cost me out of pocket $7,000 which I didn't have and had to pay up front so I borrowed it. Thank you to the band for putting up with this issue with me so much and understanding I couldn't ask for a bunch of better dudes to go through this with. Soon I will be having an auction for the guitar and cabinet that I used in the 'Convalescence' and 'Sound the Surrender' video to try and pay these people back ASAP since they were kind enough to lend me the money in dire need to do this (since my father who makes tons refused to help!). Every penny will go to them and I hope to pay them back fully and any money not made I will cover somehow or made over the cost (in my dreams) will be given out in other ways. I am just happy to be getting healthy again and not to look like a disgusting pile of shit any more. So that's the basic lowdown of it all, sorry to the guys and girls who missed us on the last few shows of the Soilwork tour, I'll give you all naked pictures of ryan in return with my apologies!"

Brutal Truth Announces Uk, Japanese Tours

Recently reunited seminal grindcore/extreme metal outfit Brutal Truth have announced forthcoming UK and Japanese Tours as well as select festival dates.

After two very well-received performances at this year's Chicago's Electric City Rockfest and Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles 6-Pack Weekend IV, Brutal Truth has expanded their touring plans to include tours of the United Kingdom and Japan in addition to the previously announced headlining position at the 2007 Maryland Death Fest. Additionally, the band will headline the third annual Los Angeles Murderfest in March.

The band's U.K. tour will begin early February and include support from Narcosis and Total Fucking Destruction. Brutal Truth bassist Dan Lilker comments: "The grind freaks in the U.K. have always been very good to Brutal Truth, which makes sense since it is the area that put grindcore on the map in the first place. We can't wait to get over there and destroy, so get ready for some sonic mayhem!"

Brutal Truth will then head to Japan in early March headlining Extreme The Dojo Tour Vol. 17 with support from Poland’s Vader.

Here are the tour dates: More...
