NEWS:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
UNEARTH update from Trevor:
"The DVD show in Farmingdale New York was an amazing experience. We
want to
thank everyone who came out and supported the entire show. From
beginning to
end the crowd showed their love for metal and hardcore. Anterabbae, If
Hope
Dies, Nora and Every Time I Die got great responses.

We seriously could not have had a better time while playing. The guys
at
Radio Takeover got great show footage while my brother Dan and his
buddy Joe
Spurr also got good behind the scenes stuff. The DVD should turn out to
be a
great representation of who Unearth are and what we do as a band.

We also want to thank everyone from Danbury, CT who made the show at
the
Empress Ballroom a memorable one.

We hit the studio in two weeks, wish us luck."

**Unearth will be playing a show on April 29, 2004 at the Knitting
Factory
in NY to preview their new material to their fans. This will be your
first
chance to hear the new material before the albums release in Spring
2004. Be
sure to get your tickets in advance because this show will sell out!
Evergreen Terrace and A Life Once Lost will open up the show with one
more
band that will be announced shortly.

Unearth, Evergreen Terrace and A Life Once Lost

THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER Update from Trevor:
"Just a few more days until we leave for Japan. Needless to say, the
kids
and I are very excited to thrash abroad. We are hoping to do some
drinking
with the mighty Vomit Remnants, arm wrestle Slagel in Tokyo, and buy
all of
the Disincarnate re-masters we can find. As far as touring in the
States
goes, we should be pretty busy through the summer. We've got this Every
Time
I Die, As I Lay Dying, and Scarlet tour rapidly approaching for the
Spring,
followed by a tour (that I am not at liberty to reveal yet) that we are
all
very excited about. Certain members of the satanic elite will break
your
knees if you spoil their surprises."

DISILLUSION
Mix and mastering of the Disillusion debut album Back To Times Of
Splendor
are finally finished! The band is very satisfied with the complete work
and
surely convinced that it has been worth every minute of the past eight
months. Even after this long time the band is blown away by the intense
density and flow the album offers - a CD in widescreen and cinemascope!
This
album is a mixture of several Metal styles, combined in harmony in a
perfect
way.

Track Listing:
1. And The Mirror Cracked
2. Fall
3. Alone I Stand In Fire
4. Back To Times Of Splendor
5. A Day By The Lake
6. The Sleep Of Restless Hours

GWAR update from the band:
Hey, kids. We finally have some new info for everyone out there eager
to
hear what's going on with your favorite scumdogs.

First up, the upcoming GWAR tour. GWAR is scheduled to start touring in
late
April/early May and will be on the road for a month or two. No, we
don't
have any dates yet. Yes, they will be posted here first. No, whiney
emails
to me won't make them come to your city. YES! Harassing your local
club's
booking manager and giving them booking information for GWAR will help
get
them to your city! That is all I know for now.

Second, lots of you have been asking about the GWAR Rumble in
Antarctica
figurines. Well, some of them have been reissued and they are now
available
on GWAR.net in the Rumble in Antarctica merchandise section! Also, the
new
Dave Brockie Experience CD Songs for the Wrong is also available
online.

Next, GWAR made it into the Washington Post! This article has a quick
interview with Dave "Oderus Urungus" Brockie and was written on January
2,
2004, just before the 9:30 Club appearance. You can find the article
right
here. Enjoy!

Finally, there is an eBay auction up of one of the GWAR Sims Snowboards
that
was featured on this site last year. It is a 2003-2004 series, 148cm
"Beefcake the Mighty" model. It is one of a kind as it is the only one
signed by the entire band. This includes: Balsac, Jizmak, Oderus,
Flattus,
Sleazy, Davis "Slavis" Bradley, Slave Matt Maguire and Slave Bob
Gorman. The
buyer will receive a certificate of authenticity from Slave Pit Inc. It
retails for $350. You can find a few pictures of it at the auction page
on
eBay: GWAR - Autographed Snowboard Sims Sedition.
