ROTER SIGNATURE GUITAR NEARS COMPLETION with initial designs having begun early this year, many months of finite amendments, alterations & aberrations have finally resulted in the hal sinden signature 7 string from roter custom guitars. it's been a while in the making, but it's meant that the end result is one that'll raise a good number of eyebrows. made from wenge, mahogany & maple, it's complete with hardware from my endorsements with kahler tremolo systems, bareknuckle pickups & sperzel tuners. more details will follow when it arrives in this here case: www.roterguitars.com but for a sneak preview and chance to see it in action, make sure you get come and see it being played at… SLAUGHTERDAY FESTIVAL - HAL TO GUEST AS GUITARIST FOR DÄM rumours have been flying like helium filled seagulls in a strong wind, and now may be a good time to set them straight; i've been working with nathanael from london-based extreme metallers däm (century media records). www.myspace.com/spiritualvoid having shared a stage with nathanael whilst i was guesting on guitar for industrial legends leech woman last december during their last UK tour, it became clear to the two of us that we'd have to try and outdo one another in the 'nice shirt' stakes - and what better place to do so but at one of his own band's gigs? whilst current däm live guitarist dan 'the rope' is on tour with his fellow metal nutcases ted maul, i've been scraping my fingers to the knuckle to the dulcet tones of london's finest to make sure the headline slot goes as swimmingly as it can. more details here: www.myspace.com/slaughterhousepromotionuk (9 sufferings | immolate thyself)

4:12 pm	eh? there is something gloriously, gloriously wrong with the fact that, in googling “perineum” to check its spelling, the 3rd image result at the top of the page appears to be a man using a staple gun whilst lifting up what would appear to be a shaved bull’s tail. if i wasn’t at work, i’d have clicked on it just to know… why.

2:04 pm	orange customer services the automated voice that gives you the options. why the HELL have they changed it to this faux 'ladette' dropped Ts bint? what was wrong with the standard, RP voice? surely, SURELY there can't have been complaints about the previous one? if so - on what grounds? the worst thing is, the person doing the voice over sounds so uncomfortable with it, it's a mockery. she's effectively standard / london throughout most of it but then lapses into this dreadful mockney shoreditch 'big brother' presenter mannerism. "if you'd like to pay by credi' or debi' card... press 1 now, then MOINS A PINE O FAKKIN WOIF BEE-AAHH, oh CHOON mayyyyt, SAFE dahling" i don't actually know anyone who speaks with that mixture. this is not standard. this is not the norm. fuckheads.

2:43 pm	INTERLOCK: june 2008 news update TOUR SHIRTS - EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD / PODCAST / ENDORSEMENTS UPDATE / WEDDING TOUR SHIRTS - EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD OFFER!</u> russian dolls, easter eggs, pregnant zombies - everyone loves a hidden surprise, and so we shall provide. due to the time we have left leading up to the US dates, we can only offer the trans-atlantic tour 2007 shirt for a limited time, but with them now comes a mysterious gift... no, sadly it's not a filthy great genie wearing a ninja outfit, it's a printed token containing links & details for exclusive downloads of the following material from interlock: - 'rest' (previously unreleased track) - 'coalesce' (previously unreleased track, as featured in the UK feature film 'vampire diary') - 'parasite' demo samples (including tracks not yet released to the public) - a selection of assorted music & video media, personalised goodies plus an exclusive preview of the new album recording sessions you'll only be able to gain access to these files armed with the individual item's serial number, so order your shirt via paypal today on our myspace page. --------- PODCAST for those who missed the romping cider-fuelled inforama that was the recent total rock radio interview with maz star, here's your chance to catch up on some more egomania, compulsive buffoonery & tech-talk concerning the imminent release of the next album, 'parasite'. here in part 1 of a 2 episode blogathon brought to you by eulogy media, we touch on solos, new guitar sounds, alleged absences and the largest custom drumkit that mapex UK have ever made, all shot at berry street studio where the album is currently being recorded. subscribe to the interlock youtube channel and be one of the first to see part 2, not to mention a bevy of other video-based nuggets of marvelosity. --------- ENDORSEMENTS UPDATE alongside the appearance of our very own bass-mistress syan on the current warwick players poster (not to mention being the only woman on there!) as seen here, we're also rather excited about a certain imminent arrival as mentioned above... the delivery of joe's new custom kit from mapex, otherwise referred to as the 'arrival of the leviathan', will be documented in full and soon become viewable by all. those in-the-know have forecast that the event will be similar to a cruise ship landing on a garden shed. just a lot louder. we will also now be keeping with this newly established tradition of naming various occurrences in the style of death metal album titles, just as soon as we're done 'unleashing our molten fury upon the faces of mourning angels' after breakfast. --------- WEDDING imperial war marches? explosions? it could only be an interlock wedding. we'd like to extend our sincere congratulations to alan & jennifer ann 'oh didn't alan tell you there was a drinks fridge in the garage?' luckett who tied the knot recently. pictures: the happy couple, the lucketts lead the first mosh, the metal contingent of the wedding the peculiarly short-haired alan of LCM events has been interlock's tour manager & live sound engineer now since early 2007, pulling the band into gear and coordinating live shows in a fashion that has caused shock, awe & blunt force trauma (and that's just the band members). kudos goes to the man capable not only of organising pyros at his own 'big day' but also for issuing laminates to all involved, including the luckett lady. as overjoyed as we are to see our alan take his vows, we must fear for jenn in some respects and advise she keeps a tight reign, since past exploits have gone far to prove that he has a taste for young, long-haired chaps in metal bands as proven by mini-hal & maxi-joe here.
