November 2001
The
November 23rd Coventry gig has been cancelled... but we will be
playing at Tenebrae at the end of the month (fri 30th Nov) - and
we'll have 3-track 'Briah' sampler CDs to give away featuring preliminary
mixes of some of our new recordings for the forthcoming album. The
core recordinigs for Briah have been completed, and we are planning
to do the final mixes in December. Work continues on the Artwork

next year...
September / October 2001
After
a succesful debut at Camden's Devonshire Arms at the beginning of
September (look out for more gigs here soon), we have decided to
take time out from rehearsing / gigging and concentrate on recording
our second album 'BRIAH'. **this means that we will not be appearing
at September or October's club Tenebrae** - the next scheduled
live appearance is the Fri November 23rd gig in Coventry with Leisurehive &
Psychophile,
followed by the November 30th club Tenebrae slot. See here for more details.
Thanx
to the Coventry crowd for inviting us back after an enthusiastic
welcome at the Heresy Half - Day'er (and an impressive performance
from the Cruxshadows).
July 2001
July's
club Tenebrae appearance was our new sound engineer Hosanna's second
gig, and we're pleased to say that it's obvious that she has got
the hang of engineering our sound.
We
have been booked to play an out - of - town gig in Coventry. This
will be a half - day event on August 12th playing with the Cruxshadows, Libitina, Phantasmagory and Illumina. (the Heresy Half-Day'er,
3.30 to 10.30, Scholars, Vecqueray St, Coventry, £6 adv : £7.50
Door. More details at http://get.to/heresy or tel. 024 76591744.
)
An
extremely generous benefactor has provided us with digital multitrack
recording facilities. This means we can start to make the master
recordings for our second album 'BRIAH' as soon as we have become
familiar with the equipment. A preliminary date of mid September
2001 has been set for the recordings, with hopes of a CD release
before the end of the year / early next year. More news soon!

excellent sound and loads of smoke :-). The next gig will be a return
to Exile, the members only once monthly club in
Bath, Somerset we played at last year. This will be our new sound
engineer Hosanna's first gig, for which she will be training hard
over the next month! (Exile gig on 7th July at the Porter Butt,

April 2001
Shane
has told the band he wishes to discontinue his involvement on the
Production, Management and sound engineering side due to other commitments.

dedicated sound engineer.

June 2000
Today
we picked up the first batch of ATzILUTH CDs from the printers - they
were spot on. Launch gig at Gossips tonight!
13th
June 2000
Since
we last surfaced supporting Inkubbus Sukkubus
at our debut gig in October last year, Descendants of Cain have
been very busy. November 12th 99 we began recording our debut album,
ATzILUTH. Each recording was performed live and mixed straight onto
the master to maintain the energy and passion created by the three
of us playing together and to replicate our live sound. During January
/ February 2000 as we were finishing the recordings, some new songs
began to emerge. They had a poweful new feel to them, and we had
to start thinking about the next album, BRIAH..... Meanwhile there
was plenty to do in the form of promotion work, artwork for the
album, setting up our own record company, getting the album printed
& pressed, and arranging a new set including some of the new
material for upcoming gigs. We also started experimenting with stage
lighting and effects to enhance our performance.. |
