Did you ever dream of being anything else?

Jason once dreamed of being a professional baseball player. Christopher still has delusions of taking over the world, which began when he was around nine. Maybe doing some more traveling, seeing more of the world.  It'd be nice to do that while playing our music for other people but we've come to realize that is an unlikely dream.

Have you ever played a concert with a group that you admire? If so, who was the group? Actually, quite a few. Our first real show was opening up for Mercyful Fate and that was pretty kickass. We've also had the pleasure to play shows with the Misfits, Satyricon, Enslaved, Unleashed, and a slew of our local brethren.   Any good stories? Yes, but we can't remember all of the details. We like to drink.

Jason has a habit of passing out in parking lots. Jason and Christopher thought it was a good idea to drink a bottle of vodka on the way to a show in Cleveland, it wasn't. Details will only be provided to those who buy us beer.
The last show we played was pretty interesting. We drove two hours away to play a show in a venue we had never played before. We had to do this show without Charlie. Jason, James, and Christopher piled all the equipment and themselves into one vehicle for the ride. We get there and find that the venue is a lot different than we originally thought. We blame Charlie! It wasn't a bar but some kind of small performance place. Seeing as how we like to drink, this was a huge let down. So Jason and Christopher drove for about 30 minutes to find a place to procure some beer. We sat in the parking lot of this place with Brutalitarian Supremacy, another band from the Columbus area, drinking beer until it was time to go on. We ended up playing for pretty much the people working there, and the other bands. It was fun, but strange. Charlie owes us a beer.

We almost got arrested taking band photos once. This was during the time when we wore what is known as "corpsepaint". Think Kiss makeup, only significantly less lame and no silver. Black and white used to represent the spirits of the dead. Corpsepaint was made known by the second wave of Black Metal in the early 90s, originating in Norway. We went to a state park dressed in spikes, wearing corpsepaint, and wielding weapons from swords to maces. The park rangers were not amused and apparently some families in the area complained. It was amusing (thesaurus.com help us), but completely ridiculous considering we had done the same thing the year prior with no incident at all.  Overreaction by people is another thing that we find highly amusing. (We feel betrayed by the mighty thesaurus!)
