We also really appreciate the positive comments about our return to the "live" arena with our newest member on drums...HYPE !!! This was our first experience at The Metal Shop and we felt great reconnecting with all of our Jonesboro, AR area friends and fans. We know this couldn't have been done without the efforts of everybody involved but we feel we gotta give it up to our brother, Jason Barker of Dark Embrace and to The Metal Shop for hosting it. Below are some Pics from the show.

SO WHAT'S ALL THE HYPE ??? - March 23, 2008

HELL YEAH !!! We've found a new drummer...We're pleased to announce that HYPE formerly of "1057 Walker" has been chosen to handle drum duty...With very little rehearsal time, we already think he's good enough to throw to the wolves and do his first show with us this coming Saturday night at The Metal Shop in Jonesboro, AR to pay our repect to our lost brother, Billy Adams. We want to see ALL of our local friends out to show HYPE some support and break him in right !!! To all of our extended family of friends and fans, please join us in welcoming HYPE into the brotherhood !!!
