Prayer To Steve Albini

I owe everything about my passion for music to one man, Steve Albini. From Big Black to Shellac to all of his production works the man never ceases to amaze me. He has taught me that you don’t have to be worry about popularity as long as you’re doing what you love, someone else will appreciate it. He also taught me not to bend to others ideas and to stick to your guns. People insult me daily because of how small my fan base is and I tell them repeatidly that I don’t care about how big it is or if there even is one, I just use my music as an outlet. Watching alot of interviews with Steve Albini he’s taught me that being yourself and staying true to yourself is the only way to make it out of the business in one piece.

Chapter 2: Post Apocalyptic Day Dream

And there we stood in the wreckage that once was our own little sanctuary along with the rubble left that once was our beloved mother earth. Debris was scattered everywhere and blowing through the wind as if it were only needles of hay. The wind was moving fast enough that it got me off of my feet and threw me backwards several feet. I fell into a crater that seemed to go on for a mile and that was more deep than I was tall. Pat helped me out of the grave of civilization and we stood there appalled at how everything we once knew was now gone. 

There we were in the epicenter of this natural disaster. Still speechless. We knew not of the numbers of casualties or even the cause of this monster. All we know is it destroyed everything - except us. There were over turned cars everywhere with people caught dead between the roofs of the car and the hard pavement. Some of them were consumed by fire. Some were now miniature versions of their former selves. All were totaled. The pot holes in what was left of the road turned into tiny bloods pools scattered across the terrain.

We started to walk. We didn’t know what was ahead or behind us but we just kept walking. After several hours we started running into random and sparce plant life. The further we walked away from the epicenter more plants began to appear and less carcasses. Yet, we didn’t run into any living animals or humans. It was as if something had killed or kidnapped everyone in the country. Or planet.

Post Apocalyptic Day Dream

Post Apocalyptic Day Dream is almost complete and ready for everyone’s ears. It is not your normal Satan In Bondage album. Standing as a instrumental concept album and a short story about the end of days, Post Apocalyptic Day Dream will creep you out and keep you coming back to listen.

Sorry for the lack of updates recently but you can head over to sataninbondage.bandcamp.com for all new releases before my lazy ass has time to write the code and upload them to the actual website.

Deliverance Machine is being released today and Relic: Reissue was released 2 weeks ago along with a DVD.

Shows are starting to get booked. Everyone should definately try to make it out to Karma in Greenville, SC on St Patrick’s Day to see Slacker Pop Records in full effect and don’t forget to check out Suite 8 in Greenville, SC on April 9th to see Satan In Bondage as Nirvana with a full live band for the first time in history.

Satan In Bondage as Nirvana

We have recently been given the opportunity to play a cover show at Suite 8 in Greenville on April 9th as Nirvana. It will be the day after MKeller’s 24th birthday and Jake Xingu will be there as well as Atom And His Package. It’s definately something that will never happen again and that you will want to try to catch. We’ve even got a full 4 piece band together to do this correctly because Nirvana with drum machines just sounds like lounge music.

We’ve also been documenting alot of the practices and we will be recording the full show as well. You can check out the progress so far on youtube: practice #1 and practice #2

And before I forget:

Satan In Bondage as Nirvana

Kurdt Kobain - Daniel Neely

Chris Novoselic - Michael Keller

Pat Smear - David Walker (Dables)

Dave Grohl - Josh Straub

2011’s upcoming Satan In Bondage albums

01 - Theater Of The Absurd - The next all new all digital Satan In Bondage album that is almost finished in the recording area. It focuses more on the darker side of life that all of us are forced to face from time to time only to come to the conclusion that life is meaningless.

02 - In The Beginning - The demo album of all Satan In Bondage demo albums featuring songs from the Self Titled, Relic, and alot of unreleased cuts as well. All songs will be remastered from original multitracks as to improve sound quality. Also will be coming with a dvd of bedroom performances from 2007.

03 - Deliverance Machine - The first Satan In Bondage b-sides album from Misery Machine and Theater Of The Absurd.

04 - All American Punch Party - More info coming on this release as it comes along.

Theater Of The Absurd is looking to be the oddest and most experimental Satan In Bondage album to date but in the best of ways. From 8-bit synths to triple drum machines to massive effects and subliminal messages, this album is going to deliver like no other out there.

Websites are back online.

SatanInBondage.com and Dables.org are both back online now. Both need serious updates but are still easily functionable and I’ll be working to fix them here soon as to remove deadlinks and improve the interface hopefully.
