Fan Funded and Exciting Times

This week has been an interesting one, and its all come at once.

Abominable Iron Sloth

For a start, The Abominable Iron Sloth album has finally seen its release on the 27th April after 4 fours of development hell. The band asked for funding from its fans after the debut release and tour. And it seems to have been one tragedy after another for them, what keeps you down only makes you stronger, eh? And here it is, arrived today with a thanks from Justin.

Stabbing Eden

Pledge Music also got their first Grindcore band on board, Stabbing Eden and I am mightily impressed what what I’ve heard so far so I one of the first to pledge. Their project to fund the recording of their 2nd album “A Second Reason To Hate Us” was launch on the 27th April.

Funeral For A Friend

Firstly, we had Madina Lake, then Tab The Band, but now the biggest metal band so far Funeral For A Friend who went live on Monday, and made their target within 36 hours which is a first for us. Well done those men, but its not over yet.

Thomas Truax

Last but not least, a man we stumbled across lately for a random zombie event in Eastbourne. The very quirky, very eccentric Thomas Truax. If only I could afford one of his famous Sister Spinster contraptions.
