This album has a small, but very loyal, cult following in Copenhagen. Somebody once told me that they released another one, anyone know if there's any truth to that?

@SiegfriedProductions The only other release that I can find by them is their 3-song "Theme for a Downer and Anthems of Rejection" EP that they released in 1998. Don't think they had a second album though.

@a1s1s1c Cheers. Any idea where I might be able to find that these days???

[a1s1s1c]

@SiegfriedProductions The only place that I can find that seems to have one for sale is on the metalmusicarchives site. If you just google metalmusicarchives . com and the title of teh Ep you should find it.

Other than that, I have no idea where to find a copy. Hope there's one on ebay.

Also, anyone know what the "You're dead you can't come back..." is from? Is it something they did or from a movie or what? any help would be appreciated.

[a1s1s1c]

Yeah... i do miss those guys. Always forget how good they actually were.

Not sure about the quote at the start. Been trying to find that out aswell.

I f*cking love this band. One of the best gigs I've ever attended was them at my local venue playing to a crowd of about 30 people. As it was so empty the two vocals did the whole set in the crowd. Epic pits.

@a1s1s1c Thanks, man...

[SiegfriedProductions]

@MrBeardo666 Cheers for clearing all that up. And props for the album, sir. To this day, it's a cornerstone partystarter here in Denmark.

[MrBeardo666]

@SiegfriedProductions Oh, and there's a VERY early (pre-Theme..) track on a compilation CD called Helping You Back To Work Vol 2 - very first lineup including Massy, later of One Minute Silence.

[MrBeardo666]

@a1s1s1c You'd be very lucky to find one, really - I think there were 500 copies pressed. Even I don't have a copy :D

[MrBeardo666]

@a1s1s1c No second album, entirely correct - we were about 5 songs into writing it when we split. No studio recordings of those final tracks exist anywhere, sadly.

[MrBeardo666]

@SiegfriedProductions It does? Awesome :D

[MrBeardo666]

@SiegfriedProductions The only other release from us was shortly after Theme For A Downer, when we issued a tour-only split EP called Homegrown Brutality with another UK band called Subvert. Tracks of ours can also be found on a Metal Hammer UK compilation CD, a Century Media compilation called 20th Century Media Blitz and we recorded a version of 'The Serenade Is Dead' for a Conflict covers album that came out on (I think) Blackfish Records.

@MrBeardo666 Oh shit, seems like you might know. Ware there any other releases than this and the Downer-EP? And is there any way to get a hold of said EP these days??
