Black Market Activities news[views:73344][posts:0]_______________________________________ [Feb 24,2004 12:46am - the_reverend ""] Black Market Activities updates 2.22.04 * Built To Grind_ Agoraphobic Nosebleed/ Found Dead Hanging split 7" We are proud to announce our very own heavy_weights, Found Dead Hanging will be teaming up with veteran grinders, Agoraphobic Nosebleed for a limited run 7" on BMA. The release will feature all previously unreleased material from both bands. The two FDH tracks 'Armagedon Oklahoma' and 'Blood Soaked Prom Queen in the Trunk of My Car' were both recorded during the Dulling Occams Razor session last year. The Agoraphobic side features approximately seven tracks and according to ANB guitarist Scott Hull, these songs show a much more death metal ANB. The 7" is slated for release in the springtime and (fingers crossed) should be available at the Mass Metal & Hardcore Festival at which FDH will be performing. Found Dead Hanging has finally got with the 90's and www.founddeadhanging.com is up and fully functional. Also, FDH has resumed booking shows. Keep an eye out for upcoming performances as well as appearance on the upcoming Mass Metal Fest DVD and 2002 Hellfest DVD which is out now. * Psyopus Psyopus pre_orders are underway. Paypal is a god_send. The price is $10 ppd in the US/Canada. Paypal accepted at guy@blackmarketactivities.com. The band is currently booking weekends and has a whole load of upcoming shows in March so be on the lookout. Check their showlist on www.psyopus.com. * From A Second Story Window Tour Update Things have gotten off to a great start for FASSW. They've been out with Remembering Never, Shattered Realm & On Broken Wings for the last few weeks and their debut, Not One Word Has Been Omitted has been selling like mad! They've steadily maintained one of the top_online sales spots for Lumberjack the last 3 weeks. They're out in California today and there is still a slew of west coast dates still left. Also, FASSW has been added to th Mass Metal and Hardcore Festival! All tour dates are listed on www.fromasecondstorywindow.com. Go check them out! * BMA vs Robotic Empire It's official! We will be doing a Black Market Activities/ Robotic Empire split sampler. The first run of 10,000 samplers will be available with new releases from each starting during the springtime. Remember the days before the internet when folks would turn to samplers to find out about new music? Most compilations and samplers have taken a serious plunge over the course of the past few years where you get hit with 20_something tracks of pure garbage. I shit you not__with music lined up from Pig Destroyer, Opeth, Black Dahlia Murder, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, The Red Chord, Circle Takes the Square, Crowpath, From A Second Story WIndow, Found Dead Hanging, Daughters, Psyopus and several others, this sampler is no joke! 2.20.04 * The Syndicate We have hired NJ's Music Syndicate to work press and radio! The first campaigns for Psyopus and From A Second Story Window will be starting the moment the Psyopus discs return from press. Over 500 copies of each CD will be sent to magazines and radio stations across the US, so keep an eye to the zines/web and keep an ear to your favorite college radio show for some great extreme music. * Lamb of God Picture Disc The long awaited Lamb of God "As the Palaces Burn" limited picture disc 12" is at press and should be on its way back shortly. We saw the proofs for the vinyl and these things look amazing! The art is still being handled and if things turn out as we're planning, any record buff will want this in their collection. The whole press is only 2000 copies so we don't expect these to stay around very long. Look for pre_order info in the near future. * Backstabbers Incorporated Update Backstabbers Inc celebrated the release of their new full length "Kamikaze Missions" for Trash Art Records on February 14th at the Living Room in Providence, RI. With a decent turnout and amazing line_up (they played alongside Draw Blood, Breather Resist, Premonitions of War & Embrace Today) the release party was a total success. We now have copies of the disc available for $11ppd if anyone's interested. * Dead Water Drowning Update NH's Dead Water Drowning has been keeping themselves busy, finally back in action with a full, stable lineup. The band has been booking weekend shows and is looking to hit the road in a major way this summer. The band will take the month of April off as drummer, Jon Dow fills in with The Red Chord on their upcoming tour with Six Feet Under & Bury Your Dead.
