(posted) July 10th - The Reverend took a slight vacation on the 4th of July weekend. He met up with Brattany down in NC and had one of the most relaxing 4 days he has had in about year. Yes, you read that right: he was with Brattany AND relaxed. No phone, no SINternet or email, no deadlines, no stress..... it was just what the doctor ordered and just what was needed. It is good to get away every now & then, especially if you can do that with someone who knows how to try to keep you happy.
July 10th - On our home page there is a link for "London Terror Post". Read what Ken, an ORDAINED fan from London has to say about the reSINt terror attacks in his hometown. We will leave this link up for a while. Check it out!
July 10th - Pick up a copy of Ninevolt magazine and check out the "Metal Issue". The magazine has only two bands on the cover: Iron Maiden & ORDAINED.

June 26th - Thank you to all the congregation members who made it to The Brewery in Raleigh, NC this past Friday night. After a 4 1/2 year hiatus, ORDAINED returned to the stage in that city. We would like to express our gratitude to our good friend Dio, who was responsible for setting up the revival. Thanks also to Sumosha & Blackwatch (the opening bands) and the SINtire staff of the club. To name a few names, thanks to Alison & Darlene (The Platinum Southern Bellz), Ken, Beth, Joe Godsea, Iron Megan, Greg & Jo, Robbie, Ray, Big Brother Mark, George, Staci, Ron, Charles and EVERYONE who was able to attend. We saw fans and congregation members who were at the very first Raleigh revival back in 1996 - glad to see that you all have kept the faith throughout the years and your support is greatly appreciated. Rest assured sinners, that it will not be another 4 plus years before ORDAINED gets back to perform again in Raleigh.
June 21st - ORDAINED is geared up for our upcoming Revival Crusade Service this Friday night June 24th. Raleigh, NC has been a home away from home for The Ministers Of Metal SINce 1996. When we were BANNED from performing in our home state of Virginia, North Carolina saw a marked SINcrease of ORDAINED Heavy Metal Revival Crusades. Raleigh was one of the cities that have always welcomed ORDAINED, and all that goes along with us. Dio booked us for our first out of state show because he was handed a flyer for a revival we had coming up. He had never heard of us, never seen us, or ever heard our music before we stepped onto that stage way back when. It is fitting that Dio will be responsible for The Return Of ORDAINED..... again in Raleigh, where it all started. Sinners, get ready, because ORDAINED is coming back to town.... consider yourselves warned!
June 21st - "Remember Me Now, I'm Motorhead", the tribute album out now on Scatboy Records will be available from ORDAINED for the first time at our Revival Crusade this Friday night. The tribute contains 16 tracks with bands covering everything from "The Chase Is Better Than The Catch" to "1916" to "Don't Need Religion". Larry Wallis, the original Motorhead guitarist, contributed a previously unreleased tune "Old Enough To Know Better (And Much Too Young To Care)" and ORDAINED blasts through "Civil War" from the Overnight Sensation album. These discs are extremely limited edition, and will be available for only $5 each! ORDAINED labelmates The Renegades Of Sluts also appear on the tribute with their take on "Cradle To The Grave" from the motion picture "Decline Of Western Civilization - The Metal Years". Be sure to pick up your copy at the ORDAINED Heavy Metal Revival this weekend, they aren't going to last long! When they are gone, that is it!
June 19th - ORDAINED met today with a promoter/management repreSINtative who had contacted the band a month or so ago about possibly working with ORDAINED in all of our business affairs. We gave them all the SINformation they had requested along with our newest release and some more background SINformation that was not SINcluded in the other promo material. The meeting which was originally scheduled for one hour, turned SINto two hours after all was said and done. More details on this as they develop.....
