With 6 songs written and some interest being shown in the band we headed out to Newcastle to record our first EP. It took us 10 hours in the small studio, non-stop to get it done, but the end product was better than any of us expected. Soon the EP went on sale at Pink Panther (R.I.P) and our next gig was handed to us, again at very short notice. A slot in the middle of Livestock II went down extremely well, with numerous reviews all saying extremely posotive things.
The EP also went to the reviewers and the feedback was amazing. Things such as "It seriously is the best thing I've heard come out of 'the scene'" and "Reminiscent of Slayer" (the ultimate compliment), creating an interest in the band that we were un-aware of until our next gig, headlining the Allages. By this time we'd also wrote another of our own songs named Reality and stuck it straight in the set-list. When we stood on the balcony outside the "band only area" in the Tithe barn that night and saw the amount of people there we were shocked the say the least. When we went on the stage that night and struck out the start of Intro, the place went mad. By the end of the set we had socks on the stage and blood on the floor. (Our mate Briscoe ended up in A+E that night because someone lept up and planted the nut on him).
It was at this time though that we were "ejected" from our practice place in the atlas works studio. We got locked out of the studio, except Mog who was locked in, and the only way we could get his attention to get us in the place was to get onto the roof. Needless to say, the guy who we'd just previously asked to open the door on the ground floor (the guy who locked all the doors), saw us on the roof and in a matter of days we were without a practice place. A total pain in the arse, especially with a gig coming up.
