Get ready 😈

There is something I need to address;

So originally, we told you guys we would be releasing a music video for our debut single "Parasitosis" in Spring 2025. Considering the summer solstice is here, I thought I would update you guys on what's going on with that.

So, back in February, we had a falling out with our drummer Chris. For those of you who don't know, we parted ways, things were not working out with him and we as a group made the executive decision to move along without him. The plan was to find a new drummer, train him up, and shoot the video before deadline.

Almost immediately after all of that went down, I was informed by my job that I was being TPA'd to a new area and new shift for a maximum of 6 months. I now work 7PM-7AM, plus 2 hours of driving round trip everyday, and it has made doing band things a hell of a lot more difficult.

Additionally, Josh got a new job and they've been working the p**s out of him as well, and lining up our schedules and getting together every weekend like we were before has just been made impossible.

We are not broken up, we are still working towards bringing this band to fruition, just at a slower pace than before, for now. We actually had a date set to film the performance shots in this really awesome creepy basement under a local business and miraculously they shut down like a week before shooting so we lost the location.

That being said, I apologize we were not able to meet the deadline, a lot of unexpected variables came into play and we're all adults with full time jobs.

HOWEVER, today we are finally getting together to film the performance shots in Springfield! Acting shots, which were filmed at Ashmore Estates as stated, were filmed and finished and it was seriously so much fun to do. Huge thanks to Alex Meyers for coming through for us and acting out the role of our main character.

As for everyone who pre-ordered merch to help us meet budget for filming, don't worry, we have the entire list of names and shirt sizes saved and you will absolutely still be receiving what we originally promised. Just a minor set-back.

With all of that being said, we are still actively looking for a drummer for this project. We have 6 songs ready to go, a jam space, and big plans for the future. If you know anybody who may be interested in a Modern Deathcore project send them our way! We will be filming the video and releasing the music with or without a drummer.

Thank you for being patient with us, much love 🤘🖤
