Fuckin' sucked. Worst fuckin' sound we had in a long ass time. The new sound guy didn't cut it and for some reason they decided to kill the lights on stage 'causing us to not see what the hell we were playin'. Ed was sick and had to barf all night. If he did that woulda been Metal.

God fuckin' damn, it feels good to go back to Don Hills and redeem ourselves from that horrible crap of last time. The best news of that night, that sound guy was fired. Good thing too 'cause we were ready to fuck him up if he gave us a prob again. Big thanks to the sound guy from last night who knew what he was doing and kicked extreme ass with the sound he gave us. Thanks to everyone who came out last night and partied with us, Carlos our old bassist for coming out. Everyone in the NYMA and NYDM Crew. Demized had me go up and sing for 'em while Gory came late for his set, but that was cool. Exhalted for telling us to get back on stage with 'em and party with 'em. Deff was a killer show and will be released soon from what was recorded last night in it's own Raw production soon.

March To Victory, Exhalted, Utopia Banished, Neuraxis, Fecal Corpse, Raza Odiada, Kriminal
WOW it feels great to be back on stage. That night fuckin' kicked extreme ass and felt damn good after our lil' vacation in August. March to Victory (NYMA) started the night with a kick ass set of Black Metal, PA Style. Exhalted (NYMA) took the stage with their kick ass Melodic Death Metal Assault. Utopia Banished did a tight ass set. Fecal Corpse (NYDM) destroyed with their extreme Grind. Raza Odiada and Kriminal both fuckin' heavy as fuckin' hell kicked ass up to the end of the show. Last but not least, Neuraxis, the first time we seen/heard of 'em. Fuckin' wow. Extremely impressive and carried on the torch of Canadian Extreme Technical Death Metal.
Big fuckin' thanks to March to Victory and Exhalted for agreeing to share all the gear together. NYDM, Will, Elena, Walter for comin' out. Destro Rex for coming out. M4W for the show. Charlie of Blast Beat Productions for helping out. Jessie (NYMA / Liquid Sky Photography) for the pix. Al of Hierarchy (NYMA) for comin' out. Ricky (NYMA). Maz's friend's that came (forgot your names, sorry) and Cathy.
As for our set, I thought we were gonna do horrible but we didn't. From the first song I felt like I was going to sleep on stage because I haven't slept in days, but we picked up, and debuted 2 new songs on stage, and they got good fucking reactions and that's the awesome part. Too bad the night passed too fast.

Demized, Fecal Corpse, SoniMinos, Ominous, Whorelord
Well, we did a horrible performance. It was a really bad night for us, but we got the job done for the few peeps who came for us. I wanna say special thanks to Mary, Dan, Josh, Andrew, Jessie and Al for comin' to see us last night and supporting us. SoniMinos our NYMA Brothers kicked ass, Demized cancelled, Fecal Corpse ruled, Ominous fuckin' heavy as hell and Whorelord was pretty tight. Fecal Corpse and Whorelord big thanks for lettin' us borrow your gear. From the beginning of the set we were really off 'cause Elaine couldn't hear my guitar and got lost a few times. Well, bottom line, we just did pretty bad. After the show was done we got to the train station at about 2AM, just missing the train at 1:50. The next train was at 2:46, but we didn't realize that it was the Eastbound train coming, we thought it was ours. At 3AM, Maz and I went to look for food and drinks while Elaine and Ralph watched our gear at the train station. We ended up finding a supermarket 30 mins away from the train station by foot. So we got some food/drinks and stuff and looked at the time and saw we had 25 mins. We get to the counter, and 1 woman just got there with a giant load of groceries (like it would seem in a comedy movie), they started havin' a lil' convo while me and Maz looked at the clock and got nervous. Finally we paid and looked at the clock with only 20 mins. We started to run and it hurt like crazy. Finally we were almost there and we got the phone call that they can see the lights, so then more runnin' had to occur. So after a heart attack later, we reached the train at 4:00 and got in right on the spot. We reached Penn Station at 5AM, and home at about 7AM. My back hurts...

I'd like to say that all the bands did great, and we are happy to have played with all the bands on this line up. It totally kicked ass. Want to say extreme thanks to Throwing Shrapnel for letting us borrow their gear while they were on tour. Those guys kick major ass. Big thanks to the crowd that dug the different formatted set list that we played and for accepting Elaine as the new BrainDead Rhythm Guitarist. Elaine did extremely well and learned all the material in a week, she fuckin' rules. Last but certainly not least, thanks to the mosh pit, you guys kicked ass for givin' BD the first pit in years. \m/ Next stop, Long Island...

Private House Party:
6:00 PM Friday, July 1, 2005, Long Island.
Funky Fresh, Amelioration, The MCJB
And God said.. "Let me play with BrainDead again." The party started at 5PM, and we the band was supposed to meet up at the train station at 5 to leave together. Nope. God sent all these hurdles our way.
- Thunderstorm alerts, so we couldn't have the party in the back yard, our solution.. basement.
- Ed got there late, missing the first train.
- Ralph got there late, missing the second train.
- Maz got there late, missing the third train.
- Sik got there late, missing the forth train. Bein' the 6:42 Train in the News Story bellow.
- Finally 7pm and we finally got on the train. The train pulls and God says, stop, we stop. "We are currently held back due to a pedestrian accident, we will be moving shortly." Then we start moving slowly and look out the window when people are panicking. We look.. a dead body under the train next to us. Decapitated, Legless, Armless dead body. So we did what any Death Metalhead young at heart does. Started laughin'. Yes it's cruel, but this was the first mangled fucked up body we ever seen. News Story.
After the obstacle course, we finally got there at about 8 pm, and were the last band up to play. Did every song but one. Sal, you kick ass dude, that was an awesome night.

This was a Fuckin' GOD DAMN NIGHT!!!!! First off all, extreme thanks to Means 4 War Records for puttin’ on one of THE BEST fuckin’ metal shows in 2005 that we’ve been able to play. Big thanks to NYDM for coming tonight and supporting. The NYMA Camp as well, you fuckers kicked ass. 3 bands dropped out:
-Amorea
-Dethroned
-Dimentianon
We came up to 'cause the most stupidest performance BD only knows how to and pull it off with smiles in our faces, again. HAHAHA. Fuckin’ Gory from Demized, you kick ass for lettin’ us use your amphead. The guitarist from Since Day One, you too dude. That was fuckin’ metal. The sound guy gave us great fuckin’ sound, and all 4 of us can finally hear ourselves/eachother. Like last week.. yet again.. did something a lil' different (but the same as the previous week). We had Elaine come up and play Betrayal with us again and pulled it off even better than the week before. She got a great reaction from the crowd, and made connections. We met a bunch of cool guys and made a bunch of new friends, all you guys kicked ass tonight. Later in the night, Exhalted, our NYMA brothers, went up and tore shit up like hell again. During the last Exhalted song. Will pulled me up on stage, I’m guessing it was to sing along with Johnny on the mic because that’s what I been buggin’ ‘em for, for a while. So I went up there and acted like the maniac that I am and pulled up Ralph, then Maz with me, tried to pull up Ancient Lord of Demized up and I fell over, and said fuck it. Jump out at him. Got back on stage turned around and saw everyone fuckin’ comin’ up to the stage and partyin’ up there. Me, Ancient Lord and Johnny were triple singing along with Exhalted. But god damn what a fuckin’ night that words really can’t explain. If you missed it, hope the magic is still there next time Exhalted, Demized & BrainDead hit a stage at the same time. Wow, that’s the only word. Wow. Too everyone that came tonight, extreme thanks, we love all you guys.
Johnny sorry for hittin’ you in the teeth with the Mic. HAHAHAHA

Soniminos, fuckin' kicked extreme ass. And then we came up to 'cause the most stupidest performance BD only knows how to and pull it off with smiles in our faces. HAHAHA. Soniminos let us borrow their gear and that kicks extreme ass. Tons of our friends came out to support and we.. yet again.. did something a lil' different. We gave this chick an opportunity to play guitar with us to show all the MALES out there that chicks can fuckin' kick ass on guitar. She played Betrayal (My Parts) and kicked ass. Her name is Elaine R. She's lookin' for a band. Then after us was Exhalted, our NYMA brothers who went up and tore shit up like hell. After them was Pariah, which in my personal opinion, did a good job. Deff check those guys out when you can. Too everyone that came tonight, extreme thanks, we love all you guys.

Demized, Kriminal, After Dark, Eden A.D., Miquiztli, Lain, Blindfoldss, Raza Odiada, Exhalted
Fuckin' Horrible.. big thanks to the fuckin' sound guy who told us to get on stage 10 minutes earlier to set up (Sarcasm). We were in the dressing room they gave us and no one told us it was time to set up. So when one of us finally realized it (on a coincidental note), we ran upstairs and the fuckhead told us we had 10 minutes to set up that we wasted. So this meant we had to rush everything, have no sound check and kill part of our set. The final cue was "at the end of this song (last 30 seconds of Metallica - Green Hell), you guys have to start playing." So it turns out that all the songs were butchered 'cause the lead guitar wasn't heard at all (again). Maz's sample machine wasn't turned on by the sound guy. Just another fuckin' mess. Don't get us wrong, we appreciate M4W and Dementia Productions (apologies is spelled incorrectly). Just that fuckin' sound guy sucked major ass.

But hell, we proved our point damn it. We even got to play a longer set because it was just 2 Bands. Ralph's E String broke, that was funny. NYDM \m/, by the way, Juan Goryosso, you kick ass for lendin' me that amp of yours, fuckin' awesome and that shit kicked ass. Finally I was louder than everyone else.

Warstorm, Ancient Wound, Exhalted, Digested Flesh, Inhuman Dissiliency
What a rush, fuckin' night kicked ass and got to meet some new friends at the Inhuman Dissiliency group. Got to hang out with Will Rahmer and Elena (NYDM \m/) and things went pretty fuckin' kick ass. The only problem with the night was that the owner of the club booked another show at the same time. So this caused a lot of problems in delays and such. Some people were blaming it on Joe of Warstorm for booking it, but it wasn't his fault and we give 'em the most thanks. Our set was cut shorter and we played 1 song less, but it's all good. "Home" was debuted live and I mumbled random vocals to it. Ha Hha.

Northest In Tune Review: http://www.northeastintune.com/music.html
Well.. not really our best night. This night my Guitar wasn't able to be heard at all on stage, so it was we had to mic it up and only the crowd can hear my guitar. This meant that the band wasn't able to hear any guitars at all and we messed up a couple of hundred times. Somehow no one noticed. So it was all good.
