April 3rd is the date we have set in stone to record our half of the RAMPANT DECAY/INSULT split coming out on PATAC RECORDS. We'll be recording the following 5 songs, after which we'll decide which three or so will make it to the record--

Alcoholic Immunity
Speed Trap Death Trap
Pigshit
Apocalyterian Party
I Wish All My Friends Were Dead

This will mark the first and last recordings with Eric Braunschweiger, who will record/mix/master these tracks [and who did the same for our debut EP, Antisocial Death March] as he's decided to move on. These are the last few shows for Eric with Rampant Decay, so please come out and give him a proper sendoff-

Farewell, Von Hasselhoffenstein.

Hopefully he'll continue to come out to our shows for I still need a van to drink 40s in and someone to have gay sex with.

Are you putting RD on ice or finding another bassist? Is mike coming back?

We're not going away for sure. I'm not even sure if Eric will be playing the June 26th show, pending what the deal with the CNV tour is. Pat might just be playing out of two cabs for a while, and Mike returning to fill in until we find a permanent replacement is also possible.

Also we only found out last night at practice, so everything is very much up in the air right now other than we're definitely putting out the split with Insult, playing these shows and not breaking up.

join butt naked butt hole and put this band to sleep

i don't have a van but...

It's a date.

And as far as finding a replacement, we don't have anyone in mind other than someone who has their own gear, their own transportation and is willing to contribute monetarily to merch/recording and is down for weekend tours and hopefully more in the future.

Recording this Saturday, fucking psyched!

5 RD songs + a Nunslaughter cover are totally done. Stoked to hear them completely mixed and mastered to see which ones go on the split with INSULT.

Hi.

And isn't already in another full-time band.

:(

I already turned down your drummer for the same reason more or less, if it makes you feel better.

lol no, but it's all gravy.

If I let either of you ITS would break up because I am a bad luck symbol. And then who would we go on world tour with?

I'm pretty sure we already decided to go the Slugpuncher route anyway.

WORLDWIDEUNDERPANTSTOUR

top for two of the best.

Haha, this split is a bad luck symbol... but will be a ripper nonetheless.

from this one super band will rise from the ashes as RAMPANT INSULTS

But Rampant Decay isn't going anywhere. : (

lol this is also true, i can dream rich i can dream.

YOU DREAM WE WERE GOING AWAY?! : ((((((

Playing a Allston/Albany weekender at the end of July most likely. More details coming soon.

I did a lot in the way of vocal tribute to Mike Beckwith and Larry Lifeless on these tunes. Also Oderus Urungus.

And according to others, Soilent Green.

Listening to the rough and unmixed tracks now. So killer. Branswaffle strikes again.

yuh doublebacongermanlonglastnameburger is an amazing dood when it comes to recording.

much ITS love and respect

I lied. Looks like our new bassist is Josh from Pat's old band Gorehammer. His first show with us will either be June 26th @ Mos Eisley or July 30/31 @ O'Briens in Allston/Valentine's in Albany, NY.

Estes is coming back? Holy shit that rules.

Yes, I'm told he's on his way back via cross country road trip right now.

That's nuts. I loves me some Josh Testes.

What about me? : (

What about Raven?

Wait wait, you mean Mavin? She turned into a mayonaise eating oaf.

No way, I'm nice.

RD tracks on this bad mutha will be "Speed Trap Death Trap", "Pigshit" and "I Wish All My Friends Were Dead".

Going to Eric's tomorrow to put all the final touches/mixes/binge drinking on this.

All the songs for the next two Rampant Decay split 7"s are completely mixed and mastered. So incredible.
