December's Allages saw the band return to a headlining slot, on a bill featuring Ashes in the Fall, Apex Fracture and Reluctant to Speak. Around this time there were all kinds of rumors flying around about a "huge rivalry" between ourselves and Apex Fracture. We don't know how it started, where it started or whatever, and to be perfectly honest, we don't care. We play our music, and thats what it is, just music. We have no hidden agenda's or politics going on, just the music.Anyway, the crowd for the Allages gig were completely insane and saw a massive 30+ person pit for Raining Blood and just about every other song we played that night, pretty intense stuff. We also debuted the backdrop that night aswell.
We then wrote ourselves a new song by the name of Die Anthem, which we debuted at our next gig along the way at the Queensberry steakhouse in Annan. The venue was small, the crowd was sparse but we had ourselves some fun along the way, although we did get asked for our first encore, but the less said about that the better. We then went back to the drawing board yet again and wrote a new song, which as yet is in between names (Ungrateful and Pig Fuck). That night we supported Man Must Die, a band from Glasgow signed to Retribute Records.
After that gig there were rumors of us heading to Glasgow to go and support MMD, but at that time we had to concentrate on our next gig, being a slot at the Brickyard which ended up with us headlining after Reluctant to Speak had to pull out of at the last minute, due to singer Jamie falling extremely sick a few days before. The gig that night went smoothly, and the crowd were responsive to what we were doing. Next was a gig with Reluctant to Speak and Ulcat Row at the Brickyard with us beginning to organise heading to Glasgow to support Man Must Die on their album launch party....
Well, it got made official that we were headed to Glasgow to support MMD on their album launch, but we also found out we'd be supporting them again the next night in our very own Brickyard. But, before any of that happened we supported Magarblech, Reluctant to Speak and Ulcat Row, which had a slightly odd placement, our brand of old school metal, followed by the acoustic set of Magarblech. It all made for an interesting evening anyway. So, we prepared and practiced extra hard for our upcoming "micro-mini-tour" with Man Must Die, and it was definetly worth it in the end.....
