Our relocation to the Boulder, CO area is complete! And we've got so much going on now that we're back up and running!

To begin with, we have four new releases and three new artists to announce. We're pleased to welcome Redrum and Hail the Night - both projects by Thorn Arwood - to our roster. We've worked with Thorn for many years (back into our beginnings with D1 Music), and are really excited to be re-releasing digitally the original two Redrum albums as well as the Hail the Night EP this month. Radio-Active-Music will also be pressing the unreleased third Redrum album later on this fall.

Additionally, these releases mark a new era of expansion for Radio-Active-Music: we're now accepting metal acts to our roster! We feel this is a natural evolution for our company, as several of our artists already fall somewhat into this genre. Along with Redrum and Hail the Night, we're also pleased to welcome Codex Goetia (the black metal side project of Reaver) to our roster.

August's releases will be rounded out by the special limited edition hard copy version of Third Realm's latest album, New World Order. This digipak version of the album will have several bonus tracks, and will be available for pre-order on August 16th! Be sure to reserve your copy as soon as they're available - this pressing is limited to only 100 copies, so they will sell out quickly!

For our fans who are itching to see our artists live, be sure to check out the upcoming Sensuous Enemy East Coast Tour! Tour dates are posted below, and XUBERX will be joining the band on the Pittsburgh stop of the tour. Sensuous Enemy will be selling copies of their latest EP, so be sure to pick up your copy at a show if you haven't gotten it already!

We're also pleased to announce that Radio-Active-Music will be vending at the "Until Death..." Festival in Denver on August 12th - 14th! The festival features performances from Icon of Coil, Combichrist, Komor Kommando, Cevello Elettronico, and many other great bands! You can find more information from the official Facebook event page. We're really excited to be active in our new Denver scene home (thanks especially to Vendetta Records for including us), so please stop by our table and say hi!

Thanks again for your patience as we've relocated - we've got many more amazing things in store for the fall, including several new releases, a truly amazing music video in the works, and much more!

We're Moving!

2011-07-05T19:17:00.000-07:00

It's official! Radio-Active-Music is relocating to Boulder, CO this week! We're really glad we've been able to keep our webstore online during our transition, but we did want to let you know than any orders placed from now until Monday, July 11th will be delayed to ship out until the middle of next week. Thanks for your patience!

Once we get settled we'll let you know about all sorts of really awesome things coming up this summer and fall, including new tour dates, festival appearances, and a whole load of new releases.

We've got a few surprises in store, too - stay tuned!

Thanks for your support for all of these years...we're excited to get back to production in August!

Shipment Delays for as|of & Synthetic Minister albums

2011-03-23T11:33:00.000-07:00

Thanks to all of you who have pre-ordered and continue to order the new CDs from as|of and Synthetic Minister! Unfortunately, the manufacturing plant we use has had SEVERE delays in processing CDs this month, and even though the release date was scheduled to be on the 15th, we have still not received either album. We've been given two different shipment dates this month that have already come and gone; the company is now promising that our order will ship by Tuesday, March 29th. We sincerely apologize for this massive delay - we're used to having the occasional day or two back-up...this is not something that we've ever had to deal with. In the meantime, we are emailing digital copies of the CDs to all who order - if you have ordered a copy and not received your files, please email radioactivemusic[at]gmail[dot]com with your PayPal receipt. Thanks for your patience!

Radio-Active-Music.com is pleased to release the debut album from as|of. As|of was created when three members of a Minneapolis-based synth-punk band decided to form a side project to allow them to play more live gigs. The new band would be harder and draw more heavily on the trio's love of industrial and electronic music. A few months later, as|of was born. The name is meant to embody the idea that the forces and conditions that affect a being 'as of' one moment in time can change drastically 'as of' the next.

As usual, this release is fully previewable on Last.fm. Pre-orders are being taken directly from the Radio-Active-Music.com website, and the release will be available from all of our online retailers shortly.

After successfully releasing their own EP in 2006, the label is pleased to present the band's first full-length. If you were to describe the sound of Synthetic Minister, the best comparison would be NIN Pre-Fragile meets Skold. Blending together Industrial, Electronic Rock, and Glitch, the band's unique, dark and catchy songs have become favorites of the Vancouver club - and the electro-alternative - scene.

As usual, this release is fully previewable on Last.fm. Pre-orders are being taken directly from the Radio-Active-Music.com website, and the release will be available from all of our online retailers shortly.

Wanna help a good cause AND get some awesome music?

2010-12-05T19:13:00.000-08:00

Our friends Donna Lynch and Steven Archer (of Ego Likeness and Hopeful Machines) are currently celebrating the slow healing of their beloved kittie, Sophie, who developed some very serious heart problems at the tender age of four just a few day ago. Now, I'll admit it...in general, I like cats better than I like most people, so I wanted to do a little bit on my end to help this great band (and great people) out with their vet bills.

I currently have only NINE remaining copies of the limited edition ::Skinless:: EP by Hopeful Machines that never made it to the band before their last tour. So, I'd like to sell these last copies and donate 100% of the profits to the band to help put a dent into the vet debt.

Please visit our store and place your order for one of these last remaining copies of the EP. (There's also a few left on CDBaby, too, if you want to pay with something other than PayPal.)

In the meantime, you can download a few awesome songs directly from Ego Likeness dedicated to all of the fan support they've received thus far, plus more detailed information about their situation: http://www.egolikeness.com/

Thanks in advance for your support! I know there are many, many people in our scene (myself included) who are thankful for all the advice and inspiration that Donna and Steve have generously provided, so this is a great chance to say 'thanks' to some great people.

Avi Ghosh releases new album

2009-02-18T17:54:00.000-08:00

So I know I haven't been around much these past few months, but I promise that there was good reason for my absence. I won't bore you guys with the details, but just know I'm back for good this time with a new found sense of urgency. As a return gift, I'd like to present my second full-length release "all that's left of us" in it's finalized, actualized state. I'm very proud of this album and will be posting a follow-up blog chronicling the creation and experience behind making it. As excited as I am about your feedback, I'd much rather take a back seat and shut up for now. I just want you all to hear it and experience it with headphones before you go to sleep at night. Thank you for continually supporting and fueling the artist in me. I am forever grateful.

Worms of the Earth album updates

2008-09-13T07:47:00.000-07:00

So where is my album? Wasn't it supposed to come out in May!? Why is it all over pirate sites and I paid my 14$ but I don't have a hardcopy?

The answer is simple. Sort of. If you downloaded it you got a rough demo...sorry, pwnt. The album has had many an issue. The latest one was that some places would not press it due to offensive content. Anyway it is in the hands of a pressing place now (for the last couple weeks actually) and should in theory be done in time for Red Invasion 1919. So kind of expect that, but not really because the record is cursed.
Bugs and I have printed up some big giant stickers too which are actually finished and will be with one of us invertebrates if you see us around.

We just want to let everyone know that we have decided to post our new video on our myspace page April 1st at 9:00 p.m est. We are very happy with how it turned out.... Dan Oullette did a great job once again and ... thanks to all the extras who helped.

The video will be available to buy from itunes eventually for $2.99. If you can wait for the EP, it is also included on there.

There are some interesting and very creative remixes on this EP but, we know that remixes aren't for everyone. So, we will be offering our new original song, "Shiver" and our remake of "I Think We're Alone Now" for sale separately on itunes etc.

We have a few other goodies coming up as well over the next few months.

We will let you know as they happen!

Thanks to all of you who have reached into your pocket to help support the band.... we appreciate it. And thanks to those of you who have helped to spread the word about the band..... every new fan helps.

Updates from Ryan of Julien-K

2008-01-31T20:48:00.000-08:00

2007 was just the beginning for Julien-K. The response we have received playing Projekt Revolution and The Open Door tour have been incredible. All of this response with NO record out. We seem to have achieved what we set out to achieve: to build a core fan base without radio, and all the trappings that go with it. It has been amazing to immediately see after every show, hundreds of fans sending us messages – talking about how (pleasantly) surprised they were by our performances each night. No one had any idea who we were. We had to win by actually being good. Now it seems JK fans have become somewhat viral. We see you everywhere. The FIRST fans. The core group.

We want to thank our fans in Europe for being so understanding and supportive regarding our canceling the Jan. tour with Linkin Park . We are equally thankful to Chester and the boys for totally having our backs, and being amazing friends in what was a tough choice for us. SO. We do have good things planned for the rest of the year. Very good things. We are, of course, planning to make up with our European fans ASAP, and we have a LOT more in store for the US (and the rest of the world) as well this year...

...Maybe a record?

We're cruel. I know.

New Celldweller demo available for download

2008-01-04T17:36:00.000-08:00

Ho ho ho. (I’d like to make it clear right off the bat that not a single one of these “ho’s” is a noun...) It’s that time of year again – a time for
giving and a time for reflection. Well, maybe I’m just saying that because I’m sitting in an airport waiting for a flight. That’s probably more likely, but I’ll chalk it up to the holidays and that “holiday spirit.” I have to admit I have had thoughts of doing some ‘giving’ this holiday season and that ties directly into the reason that I’m running on 24 + hours without sleep. Now, this is actually kind of a Christmas story, so go make some brownies, pour yourself some hot chocolate and let me tell it to you:

There once was this little red-headed kid (red like a fire truck, not like Ginger from Gilligan’s Island.) He was pretty unpopular as a child and
learned to keep his mouth shut and just observe, lest his ass get kicked by the mean 5th and 6th graders who reveled in their pre-pubescent strength and superiority. It wasn’t long til Red (as we’ll call him from now on in this story) figured out that around the same time every year, there seemed to be a surgence of excitement revolving around some fat dude in a red outfit. As legend has it, fatty somehow shoe-horns his way down a chimney and brings the good children gifts. Simultaneously there was also another story of a king born into humility, spending the first part of his life in a barn because there was no place else to stay. Now this story was way more punk-rock and it appealed a lot more to Red than this stupid fat guy in a red outfit. The problem was that no matter what story people used as an excuse to celebrate during this time of year, all Red really ever seemed to glean from this season was an overwhelming sense of selfishness that didn’t seem to have much to do with the reasons people claimed to be celebrating in the first place. It wasn’t long til Red gave up on the whole thing and decided it was just another excuse people had made up to drive the masses into frenzies at retail stores and the like, driving them by some propaganda of fear or obligation – fear of not buying the right gifts or getting enough of the right gifts or the strain of being obligated to get someone something because you have to.

Fast forward a number of years. This poor little bugger’s head is still constantly swimming in thought and many times the only way for him to hold on to shreds of sanity is to unload these thoughts onto paper, thus making room in his head for more thoughts. He then takes these thoughts and puts them to song and for some odd reason there are people around who are genuinely interested in these scraps of his own life. So how does this at all tie into me and this whole rant being a “Christmas Story”?? Well as it turns out, I kinda know Red and this is where it all comes together: Over the last few years he has unconsciously taken stock of his life, his art and the meaning of it all. Things have changed in his head, and it’s a very good thing. Part of that change is that he has found some honesty and purity in this season after all – it’s just not going to be found on the TV or in newspapers. There are people who give unselfishly and that is the coolest thing of all. So I, uh “Red” I mean knows that there have been some very nice people out there who have been very supportive and patient and I, (I mean “He” dammit!!) wanted to do something for those people specifically.

Here comes the part about “24+ hours without sleep...” I am doing something I would ordinarily never ever do – I’ve decided to give away a Demo from the upcoming Celldweller CD. The song has been finished in it’s demo form for awhile, but it’s very unfinished compared to what it will sound like (in my mind at least.) Almost everything here will be replaced when I record it for real - The drums, vocals, synths, bass, guitars – everything.

So I decided to get it “rough mixed” and stayed up in between returning from Brazil and departing to my next destination to get this presentable for you. I really wish to make a hundred disclaimers for how this sounds and what is yet to be changed or fixed, but I’m too tired to care at this point and it really wasn’t the reason I wanted to give it to you to begin with. You can decide what you like. I guarantee there will be those that will like this version over the final version when it’s done – so be it. I only hope this is some small reward for those faithful Cellmates who have been patient to this point. So with no further adieu, I present you my gift to you this Holiday season, “Birthright” (formerly referred to as “Baseline”) I’ll catch you all next year.

dharmata 101 track review by Chain D.L.K.

2008-01-04T10:08:00.000-08:00

...DHARMATA 101 then stands for the international guests, because they are hailing out of the United States. Stylistically they’re sitting in between the chairs be offering a mixture out of Industrial, Electronica and Goth-elements. Their track “Outline (Of My Shadow)” is a quite good composition featuring a fair amount of acoustic guitars, Metal-guitar riffs and decent Electronic textures, while the natural sounding vocals need some more spins to earn acceptance...

Strangeland Records goes out of business.

2008-01-02T19:56:00.000-08:00

A Somber Announcement…
It is with deepest regret that I must announce that on March 17th Strangeland Records will be closing its doors forever. Sadly, while we had no shortage of verbal supporters and well-wishers, in the end we simply did not have enough paying customers to cover our expenses and keep the shop going.

An Honor to Serve…
Since day one Strangeland has been an ardent supporter of the local art and music community. In our short time here I’m proud to say that we’ve hosted over 150 DJs and 200+ bands. We’ve also displayed on our walls the works of over a dozen promising local artists. I’m personally honored to have had so many talented bands, DJs, and artists come through our doors. I can only hope the other local shops/venues will carry the torch and help to further our DC music and arts scene.

The Show’s Almost Over…
We’ll be celebrating the memory of Strangeland “Irish wake” style with a series of going away parties here at the shop…

Saturday 1/12 – Goth/Industrial Armageddon (2pm-10pm)
w/ Ego Likeness, Red This Ever, The Opposite Sex, XUBERX,
dharmata101, Rites of Ash and DJs Vlad, Shade, Liebchen, Kangal, Rift,
DuJour, Cheetahdave

Saturday 1/19 – Live @ Strangeland Apocalypse (2pm-12am)
w/ Three Faces of Eve, Salome, Absolute Vengeance, Freehand Arson,
Bliss, Ambition Burning, Vox Populi (more TBA)

Saturday 1/26 – Strictly Locals End of Days (6pm-4am)
w/ Muramasa, ODJ, Deinfamous, Alter-Ego, Encryption, Solace72,
Jungle Jessi, Quannum Logic, Harry Ransom, Brandon Black,
Miguel Lush, Nonchalant, Lycan, Psymon, Darkenetiks, Hollowpoint,
Ademaro, Shaft XXL, Axios

Last Chance Sale…
Our liquidation sale will begin on Friday, February 1st. From here on out we’ll be looking to get rid of everything, from merchandise to fixtures to DJ gear. The liquidation discount percentages will escalate with each subsequent week though the final day of business on 3/17. Details about the sale will be announced in late January.

What can you do to help?…
At this point the best thing you can do is spend some money here. Every dollar you spend at Strangeland from here on out is a dollar less that we will have to pay back to the bank. With that in mind, be kind; buy some CDs/vinyl/etc. as a final token of your appreciation.

The Changing Face of Music…
The independent music scene is dying a very painful death right now and it’s dying at the hands of its alleged fans. Downloading/piracy from major labels may strike a blow against “the man”, but doing the same for independent/underground music is KILLING those that make and make available that type of music, from the bands to the labels, the promoters to the shop & venue owners. Right now downloading is at the “fall of Rome” stage, with people ravenously downloading anything they can get their hands on, downloading stuff that they don’t even get around to listening to just so that they can brag about how many songs they have. At the same time fewer people are pulling themselves away from their computers (Tivos, Nintendo Wiis, online gaming, etc.) to see, support and buy merch from bands who are struggling to tour at all before going back to their day jobs.

The effects of this detrimental behavior won’t be truly felt until a couple years from now. As the support structure for underground music continues to erode at an exponential rate, indie labels/shops/magazines will continue to fold. As show attendance continues to decline, fewer bands will tour and venues will shut down. As club attendance continues to decline, once popular club events will cease to be. And certainly the effects will be TRULY FELT when all that remains on the desolate musical landscape is local level MySpace band demos and major label pop fodder… with nothing in between, thus robbing us of the next generation VNV Nation, Jesu, Rancid, Dimmu Borgir, etc. You can only rape independent music for so long before nothing is left.

Without support, art ceases to exist. So I urge you from the bottom of my heart, please support the bands you like. Buy their albums. See them live. Buy merch at their shows (very often this means dinner and gas money to them). In the end this is a very small price to pay in order to keep good independent music going.

One Final Note…
It has truly been a pleasure running the shop for these past two years. I’m thankful for all the new friends I’ve met, the excellent bands and DJs I’ve seen and the customers I’ve helped find and discover new music. After all, that was the point, wasn’t it? For everyone who has come in and bought something, checked out a show, handed out a flyer for us, for everyone who has shown Strangeland, my brainchild and baby, some love…

Thank You!

December updates from Bella Morte

2007-12-13T23:58:00.000-08:00

NEW ALBUM UPDATE
We've been writing music like a bunch of fiends over the last month, and now it's time to start cutting demos. We're being very picky about which songs make the next album, as we want it to be the best yet. From what I'm hearing so far, that's not going to be a problem! But still, too many albums come out with one or two great songs and a lot of filler tracks making up the rest of the time. We'll never be the type of band that would release something we aren't behind 100 percent. I'll keep you posted on how things are coming along with the album, and we'll be looking to release the first song as a digital single early this spring.

HEAR A B-SIDE FROM BLEED THE GREY SKY BLACK FOR FREE!
Though things could change, right now it is looking like we will be recording this album ourselves. It will be the first time the band has ever had complete control over a recording, and we're looking forward to the challenge. Micah has become one hell of a producer/engineer, and you can check out his work at Final Symphony. A song called "Today" which we recorded for Bleed the Grey Sky Black that didn't make it on to the album is on the music player there, so go check it out.

NOVEL UPDATE
My novel, which was tentatively titled "The Party Crasher" (that is almost certain to change) is almost through the first phase of editing. It's taken a lot of work to get to this point, but I'm proud as hell of the book, and can't wait for it to become available to the public. I'm still aiming at a 2008 release and will, of course, keep you all updated. I've started a personal MySpace where I may be posting samples of my writing in the near future. Feel free to add me to your friends list by following this link.

NEW MERCH
There are some new shirts in our online store, and the fine folks at Metal Mafia have just restocked us with the very popular skully-guy necklaces! If you order in a hurry, your items will still get to you by Xmas in the U.S.

WEDDING BELLS!
Both Tony Lechmanski and Tony Pugh are getting hitched! And not to each other, though I think they'd make a great couple. So next time you're at a show be sure to give the guys a big congrats and a slap on the back. We're all happy for them and look forward to the big day(s)!

As you can see, we've been a busy bunch of guys. When I have a spare moment between writing songs and working on my book I've been reading an excellent novel called "The Bleeding Season" by Greg F. Gifune. I can't recommend it enough! Also, I've found that I not only like South Park, but am addicted to it. And I'm just fine with that.

I'll try to post here again beforehand, but if I don't find the time I hope you all have a great holiday! If you're in the VA area come on out to our last show of the year on December 29th at the Outback Lodge here in Charlottesville! It's going to be one hell of an early New Year's party, and we've even gotten Synthetic Division and Phoenix Noir performing!

We love you guys! Have a killer winter (the perfect season for listening to Bella Morte, right?)!

New Deadstar Assembly DVD almost complete

2007-12-13T14:07:00.000-08:00

The band is ecstatic to let you all know the new DSA DVD is just about complete! It was quite a feat to gather, log and cut together hundreds of hours worth of footage from the bands archives that span over a 4 year period, but it's been done and it will be well worth the wait.

We know things have been quiet on the DSA front, but it's only because the band has been extremely busy working on putting together the best fucking DSA DVD possible for you the fans. This DVD contains over 2 hours worth of touring chaos, behind the scenes footage, live performances, four videos, and so much more!

So when will it be released? The DVD is scheduled to go to press later this month so expect a Jan / Feb 2008 official release date. New artwork and merchandise will drop in the coming weeks as well so be sure to frequent our Myspace and www.deadstar.com and check it out!

More news to come...

Klayton writes again

2005-10-11T17:22:00.000-07:00

CLARITY:
My bad. It seems as though there are a number of people who have had some difficulty understanding some of the content in my last few posts. Sometimes I forget that things I say can be misunderstood, misconstrued or misinterpreted and I have a few scapegoats for the blame in this regard. Firstly, I blame it on my upbringing in the place I grew up. There isn’t much I can do about that. You can take a kid out of New York, but you can’t take New York out of the kid. Secondly, I think I developed a certain language barrier when I served time in a Bolivian death camp at the age of 7 after stealing a cantaloupe from the local market. Being in the heart of my formative years and thrown in with other hardened criminals like myself who could speak no English, has of course affected my ability to communicate. (I can tell you I’ve never stolen a cantaloupe since.) So I toiled over this dilemma, and found a place online that will serve as a “Klayton to English” guide, if you will. It would take you only 30 or so seconds to read and will give you greater insight into how to interpret much of what I say. (It’s all in English too, which will make it easier for most of you.) There are two links, and all you have to do is simply combine the information in both links to get a full understanding. Feel free to keep these links handy in the event you go back and read any of my former ‘blogs’ or find yourself lost during this one (or any future ones for that matter.)

MUSIC:
Here are some of the most recent musical developments for anyone who may care about such things. The version of “Goodbye” I’ve been mentioning is finally available for download through iTunes etc. “Goodbye – Klayton Revision” and DJ RIB’s (Rommel-Razed in Black) remix of “Frozen” are both available as part of a “digital remix” package. I think you will be seeing a lot more things like this from me – releasing one or two songs at a time digitally. Welcome to the new world, boys and girls.

So with that being said, we’ve already serviced “Shapeshifter” and “Transistor” for digital download. In the next few weeks you will be able to get these suckers for a mere $.99 each. Jimmy from Management will let you all know when it has posted.

So I’ve almost officially put “The Way She Wants to Die” into the demo bin. This means the song will most likely make it to the CD and is pretty much written. Now the next step is to track all the instruments, edit and program, and cut vocals. I’m knee deep in some new tracks right now. “Blood From the Stone” and “Waiting…” are in intermediate stages. It’s obvious to me that there is a good chance that I will have more material here than I will put on the upcoming CD. This of course got my wheels spinning a bit. I think there is a very good chance that I will do a “Beta Cessions 02” when the CD is done. This time I do plan on it containing more unreleased material etc. The songs that don’t make the cut for the CD will get finished for the Beta Cessions 02 (or whatever it will be titled.) It works out because it gives you guys more music if you want it, and it gives me a reason to exist for a little while longer. Win/win situation.

ENOUGH:
I’m pretty confident I could continue to blather on for paragraphs on end about nothing in particular, so I’ll take the wiser route and shut up. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I do hope the “Klayton to English” guide above has helped some (although it wasn’t as necessary in this blog as maybe some of the former ones.)

Well, I’ve always thought that “Kudos” were candy bars, but everyone seems to be giving them out to me digitally over on the left side of the page here. I’d love to send you all Kudos too in return, but I would need all your mailing addresses and then I’d have to find a convenience store that had enough in stock, buy envelopes, write out shipping labels... Ugh. Too much work for now – we’ll have to put this on the back burner for now.

Amphibious Assualt hunts for a label

DemDay went amazing and was filled with Depeche Mode-y goodness for everyone to enjoy. I want to thank Steven from Perdition for letting me be a part of the fun, and I want to thank Chris, Shane, Andrew, Herman, Chris, and Nathan for being super cool! Talented, and cute..what more could you ask for in a show! As Paris would say, "that's hot.."

Well, I'm travelling to a convention in Los Angeles in November to kidnap CEO's til they sign me. This is a really important step, since this will be the first time I have EVER shopped my music to labels. *is scared*

Wish me luck, because from here on in, this lady is not stopping til she takes the world by storm, via a tour bus. and some nice heels, too. durrrr i'm such a girl.

Ever on the move

2005-08-10T16:24:00.000-07:00

Hey everybody! I just got back from a video production job in Florida and drove from San Fran to Albuquerque, NM. Michelle and I arrived yesterday. I has been amazingly busy with packing, moving, traveling, and the video gig. But, we will be in Albuquerque for about 5 days, so I'll be on the board a bit more. Then, it's off to NYC on the 8th. I have already called the people to set up Internet, but you never know how fast it will be hooked up.

Anyway, here's the update on Ever. Our press kit is on it's final draft!! We are really excited. Once it's complete, we are sending it with our album to some labels we are hoping for. It's an exciting time for Ever. We have spent so much time creating Ever, now this is our chance to show labels who we are.

Thanks again for checking in on the board and making the effort to see how we're doing. You all rock, feel free to email me any time. :)

Celldweller speaks to the masses

2005-08-10T16:15:00.000-07:00

figured it was time to do something I’ve not done before. (Thanks to the persistent prodding of the good people around me who assured me that if I did in fact post a personal letter online, I wouldn’t melt or break out in leprous sores. Of course if this does happen, YOU will have to avenge my death [if you get time.])

Firstly, I want to thank everyone for their support, as trite and patronizing as that may sound. This is what has enabled me to do what I do (although everyone’s still trying to figure out exactly what it is that I do…) I have been fairly busy since we wrapped up tour in November. The good news is that some of what I’ve been working on will soon be available to hear in one form or another. One track “Shapeshifter” will be in the upcoming Need for Speed: Most Wanted video game. I was genuinely excited to work on this track with Styles of Beyond (who among other things lent their voices to a track on an older Dieselboy disc that I love.) Also just what everyone needed, another version of “Switchback”. It’s actually a very cool remix of the song by Filo and Peri and we’re planning a vinyl and digital release for this Fall. “Frozen” has been remixed by Romell from Razed in Black. Another cool remix that will be released sometime this year. And because I can’t leave anything alone, I’ve constructed a 7 or 8 minute remix of “Goodbye”. I’ll get it done when I get the bug up my ass to finish it and we’ll get it out to you.

For years I’ve secretly been planning to record and release a full disc of cover songs. I don’t particularly like the concept of covering one song and sticking it on a record, but the chances of me ever having time to do a full cover disc are pretty slim at this point, so I’m thrilled to do exactly what I don’t want to. You guessed it - one cover song to stick on my record. It’s already recorded and mixed and so very disco (in a Celldweller way of course.) I have been contemplating growing in some thick chest hair and getting a nice button up shirt to flaunt it in the spirit of the track.

My immediate goal is to finish the next Celldweller release. I plan on finishing some tracks I’ve had archived and starting some from scratch. “Gift For You”, “Uncrowned” and “IRIA” are almost done, then it’s time to sift through a few hundred demos. Depending on your interest (and whether or not I melt or break out in leprous sores,) I have considered posting random updates here during the writing, recording and mixing processes. There may even be video and images to accompany this at the Official Celldweller site.

Amphibious Assault pushes album back

2005-08-10T16:11:00.000-07:00

I figured I should update everyone on the supposed release of this album!

So originally it was supposed to be in June, now its July and its still not out.

I've decided to try and get signed this year; I have absolutely zero dollars to finance the recording of this album so i've decided to sell my soul to an RC that will give me the support I need to get my music out there. Therefore, 6 gorgeous songs will sit and wait til I a) get signed or b) make enough to record. SUCKAGE.

This year has really sucked. Has it been crap for you too? Cuz I am really ready for what 2006 will bring man!

I am so sorry that you have to wait a little longer(that's if you want to hear it :D) but please don't run away! I promise it'll be at least good enough to play in an elevator. eh, there's some fuel for the haters.

Thanks to everyone for being so patient and while you're waiting, Join The Amphibious Assault Myspace.

Questions, comments, bitchings,(but be somewhat nice and civil) please email me at amphibiousassault44@hotmail.com.

The Birthday Massacre news updates

2005-06-17T20:55:00.000-07:00

The Birthday Massacre is featured on the cover of the Festival Issue of Zillo alongside The Cruxshadows. This special edition issue will be available in European shops and online for the next 3 months!

On a sad and related note, Zillo Festival has been cancelled this year by the promoters at Contour Promotion. Because of this, we will not be playing any shows until we kick off the tour in Switzerland on August 11th. Those who have purchased tickets for ZilloFestival or the ParadoX show should contact their ticket vendor.

On another cheerful note, The Birthday Massacre has finally found a North American record label home, which means we are preparing to release the extended version of Violet. We appreciate your paitence while the EP has been removed from the online store, we will have all the details for you shortly.

The TBM Remix of the Funker Vogt song "Fallen Hero" will be appearing on their new remix CD (also titled Fallen Hero) on the 25th of July in Europe.

More information about the DVD will be coming next week. Thanks to everyone for their paitence and encouragement!

Amphibious Assault news

2005-06-16T20:38:00.000-07:00

I LIVE.

wow, the last month or so has been NUTS.

People have been emailing me like YO WHAT UP WITH THIS JUNE RELEASE?

Well..most of you are musicians and know that sometimes you run into some problems. I've run into some lyrical issues! All the music is done just lyrics..I can't seem to force em out. Y'all know how it is.

SO.

I'm thinking the release will have to be pushed forward til like..August. At the latest. After its done it needs to be recorded and all that. I'm sorry for this pushing forward and delay delay DELAY but i don't want to give you guys crap...it may still be crap when you hear it but i like it dammit! hah. I have a demo done actually..and I will have to get more CDRWS to get it recorded and up for y'all to hear. It'll be the song "No Help From Above."

I hope all of you are having a fabulous summer, I know I am!

The Anix clears a few things up

2005-05-25T12:10:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, there are tons of rumors going around and they're only half truths. Yes, I have a solo project thing going now and yes Brandon is working w/ Megan McCauley as their guitarist.. but The Anix isn't going anywhere... We're currently just taking a little break while we figure out what we're going to do as far as replacing Nik goes. We already have a few ideas reguarding the matter and in the meantime, we are writing new Anix material and taking care of publicity, etc.. The thing you guys have to realize is that The Anix is our baby, we aren't going to just stop something we have put so much effort into.. shit, I moved from Florida just to be in this band... It doesn't take much to realize I wouldn't just put an end to it.

Please take the things you hear with a grain of salt and don't be so quick to jump to conlusions.

2005-05-25T12:02:00.000-07:00

Please welcome Bethany Whisenhunt as our new bass guitar player! We have parted ways with Jason Allen [guitarist extraordinaire and midi programming stud]. We wish the best for him and his future creations. Chad Mines [ex-bass] has eagerly moved over to guitar duties. You can see promo photos of the new group at our visual page.

As you can tell, we have a new look for our website! It is still functionally equivalent and we will be adding much more content in the coming days. Hope you enjoy it!
