More blackholicus on the horizon?
As you can see, we've taken a break from activity to regroup after the unfortunate "falling through" of our London trip to play for the Live Evil fest. Thanks to everyone who bought merch, helped with the now-defunct fundraiser show, and the yard sale.
Besides personal obstacles that kept us from continuing to plan, we also lost confidence in the primary booker for the UK tour we were going to be on during that time, and did not feel that it was worth $5k to find out if he was good for all his promises.
If anyone has leads on a 2011 European tour, let us know. We are down but not out. In the meantime we're working on new material but it's going to be gradual.

We'll be playing with some classic metal cover bands, so come check it out.
Live in Houston
Check out the first minute and a half of this recap of the Houston skate event we played over the summer. It's clips of the skating to the tune of Nefarious. We were playing live at the park along with Los Skarnales and McRad.

Review of Megaforte in "Rock Hard" German metal mag
(Translation via Google translator, german then english)
Ich liebe es im Rock und Metal, wenn die Instrumente tatsächlich wie Instrumente klingen - wie in den Siebzigern, bevor die Studios zu sehr mit dem Metal experimentierten. I love the rock and metal, if the instruments actually sound like instruments - such as in the seventies, before the studios have experimented too much with the metal. In den Achtzigern hatten zumindest die kleinen Bands noch einen echten, authentischen Sound, während die größeren in den teuren Studios herumprobierten. In the eighties, at least the small bands still had a genuine, authentic sound, while the larger herumprobierten expensive in the studios. Heute ist es nicht nur einfach, sondern auch billig, diesen experimentellen Plastiksound zu „kreieren“. Today, it is not only easy but also cheap to create these experimental sound sculpture ". Es ist dagegen viel schwerer, authentisch zu klingen. It is much harder, authentic sound too. BLACKHOLICUS haben offensichtlich viel Zeit dafür aufgewendet, den richtigen Sound für ihr „Megaforte“-Album zu finden - und der gefällt mir so gut, dass ich die Scheibe sogar zum Campen in die Wälder mitnehme. BLACKHOLICUS obviously spent a lot of time to find the right sound for their "Mega Forte" album - and does so well that I take with me the disc, even for camping in the woods.
Was also haben wir hier? So what have we here? Wir haben klassischen Heavy Metal - im wörtlichen Sinne. We have classic heavy metal - in the literal sense. Es ist traditioneller Metal mit ein paar originellen, ungewöhnlichen, klassischen Versatzstücken. It is traditional metal with some original, unusual, classic set pieces. Im „professionellen“, modernen Sound klingt so was immer furchtbar, aber bei Maiden oder den English Dogs in den Achtzigern und Hammers Of Misfortune in den Neunzigern klang es wie bei BLACKHOLICUS: einfach klasse. In the "professional", which sounds more modern sound so terrible, but at Maiden or the English Dogs in the eighties and Hammers of Misfortune in the nineties it sounded like BLACKHOLICUS: simply great. Metal mit Seele! Metal with a soul!
Fans der genannten Bands werden ebenso begeistert sein wie Freunde von Brocas Helm oder The Lord Weird Slough Feg. Fans of these bands will be as enthusiastic as friends of Brocas Helm or The Lord Weird Slough Feg. Außerdem erinnert die Eule auf dem Cover an „Fly By Night“ von Rush. Also remember the owl on the cover of "Fly By Night" by Rush. Diese Platte wird meine Sammlung niemals verlassen; sie ist schon jetzt ein Klassiker für mich. This plate will never leave my collection, it is already a classic for me. Mehr über BLACKHOLICUS findet ihr im Netz! More about BLACKHOLICUS be found on the net!
