MORE PRAISE FOR FLUKE
The Eucharist Edition of Fluke is selling out fast from us, although it is still available from our distributors and in some shops. In fact we were very pleased to see copies on the shop shelves of record stores on the Champs-Elysée on a recent visit to Paris! One of our favourite places in the world, we're hugely proud to see our artists make their mark on it.

More critical acclaim for Fluke this month and an upcoming feature in Metal Maniacs is on the cards, along with the one in Zero Tolerance this month. If you haven't snapped up a special edition, get in quick!

It took a while but it's finally here, and it's well worth the wait. Don't forget you can watch the music video for Larva here and check out the Fluke lore at www.fluke.me.uk

THE CURSE IS LIFTING
It appears that someone or something doesn't want the Fluke E.P. to ever see a shop shelf. Delays have been crippling it's release, mainly as a result of repeated fuck-ups by the pressing plant. Given the option of releasing a substandard package we instead moved production to another plant in Wexford and have been working closely with them for weeks to make sure the result is a complete success.

The culmination of this effort is a delayed but high quality production that is worthy of the music contained therein.

Thanks to all the people who have pre-ordered and continue to preorder, and have had the patience to bear with us. I'm completely confident that when you receive the unique package you'll see why it was worth all the work. It is simply a matter of weeks now and the end is in sight.

FLUKE PREORDERS & PARA-SITE UNLEASHED
The Fluke Para-site is here and features a downloadable MP3 of Larva, opening track from the Fluke E.P. The video for the track is also available for download!

ANOTHER QUICK FIX...
To whet your appetite while we all wait for the new Scald CD, a live video of the band performing 'Maggot Farmer' from their 'Born With Teeth' EP. The video was shot and edited by Andrew Bagwell at their 07.05.05 show with Primordial in Whelans, Dublin.

Our store has be revamped a little and the postage charges have been shaped up to work by weight rather than by quanitity so are now much more accurate and cheaper in the vast majority of cases! In the future we'll be adding options to insure your postage, until then we'll be continually making small improvements to the site and ordering in more stock.

SCALD SIGN TO MIDHIR RECORDS
Following 13, greying years of progressive, sludge-grinding evolution, Ireland's idiosyncratic, doom-thrashing experimentalists, Scald, give a horned salute and a blackened nod to their pre-Scaldic, grindcore roots with the 'Fluke' E.P. - 5 short, sharp and filthy, damning citations of grindcore punk and thrashing crust-metal vitriol, chronologically unleashed against the unfortunately ongoing, ancient global keepers of tyrannical, papagandist religiosity.

We are very proud to announce the forthcoming release of Fluke on Midhir in spring 2007. Scald's unique, avant-garde take on caustic crust-grind make them a perfect addition to our roster! Watch this site and www.scald.me.uk for updates.

WAYLANDER MOVE TO ALDERWOOD
Waylander have signed with Alderwood Records, sister company of our Irish distributors. The collaboration will see the release of Waylander's much anticipated third album. We wish both the band and the new Irish label the very best and will be watching Waylander's return with much interest!

The album is currently being recorded. Please see the band's website for the up-to-date news: www.clanwaylander.org
