Update
we are still alive and at work. thanks for the great support on the "circle-tour" last year. the tours closing at the BLA in bonn was great. that's why the flyer will be kept for a while on the page. sorry that you did not hear much from us in the past months, but we crept back in our rotten cellar to work on new material. it will be good, different and dark as fuck. 8 songs are already done, so studio is nearby. in the meantime, listen to "everything goes in circles" and play it to your friends to enlarge the genepool. by the way, we heard about rumors that there are still out not owning our split single we did with the spermbirds (something good/reptile smile). ts, ts ... go to flight 13 and grab your copy now. okay, enough for today. see ya!
