They were pretty good when they toured with Danza. Good for them.

I don't like this band. I don't like the people in the band. But I can still say good for them. They've been doing this shit for awhile now.

YOU SELFISH BITCH

xgambloatx 12/2/2008 11:15:22 PM

"nike 12/2/2008 9:14:40 PM what the fck does that stand for?" If I'm not mistaken, it's a cheat code in Mortal Combat.

tyler_abacabb 12/3/2008 12:24:52 AM

it is the blood code for mortal kombat on sega

kniferevenge 12/3/2008 1:38:14 AM

odnetnin 12/3/2008 1:41:40 AM

This band has been around for a while. I am surprised they have made it this far.

Inhuman 12/3/2008 2:02:17 AM

YOU ARE fckIN' DEAD...... 2 ME!!!

JULIOJULIOJULIO 12/3/2008 2:15:56 AM

this band will continue to be a revolving door of members around their singer. can't wait for this trend to die and for them to go with it.

emmure_is_death_metal 12/3/2008 2:19:46 AM

this band is really inventive. and creative. and technical. and overall awesome.

xbumpx 12/3/2008 2:36:24 AM

Brett_ 12/3/2008 9:48:33 AM

Will never forget when this band played AFTER Necrophagist at VA Beach a year or two back. I looked over and saw the drummer holding is head in his hands after witnessing what they were following. Have never seen, not worth the time.

master_of_puppies 12/3/2008 11:27:40 AM

This band sucks they are part of that Virginia/DC metal scene with c-cky gay dudes playing shitty "death metal"...join TTIW and you guys can take a tour bus off a cliff!

joebrown 12/3/2008 1:59:36 PM

Played with this band about a year and a half ago. Used my amp, then broke it. Not their fault though. Nice dudes.

khann 12/3/2008 2:31:35 PM

my old bassist from bitgota was in this band for a little while...he then left to europe somewhere. Spazz, where are you now?

xSUNEATERx 12/3/2008 2:43:11 PM

j33bus 12/2/2008 9:35:41 PM possibly the worst band name ever bullshit. its the blood cheat from mortal kombat. that is badass

YouGotScanned 12/4/2008 12:11:12 AM

Fat Jack told me these guys were gonna get huge. Looks like he was right. Mortal Kombat for Sega Genesis is the greatest game of all time

mistergrimes 12/4/2008 4:12:39 AM

I've been a fan since '03 I believe. Glad to hear that Sumerian FINALLY signed them. Can't wait for the album to drop in January.

bighairyrandomguy 12/4/2008 6:46:07 PM

Glad to hear it! Tyler has worked hard for a while now! Good dude!

Gay as fck. No fcking care ever. I do love that the + feedback is coming from the band members and VA (toughguy??) scenesters. gayACABB!

itsmeitsme 12/8/2008 7:41:00 AM

Everyone in this band sucks at what they do. They sound like every local band in the u.s, why do terrible bands keep getting signed?
