We'd like to welcome Nick Avila our new bass player to the band...He's already been to a couple practices so far and showed us that he's completely capable of playing our shit. His first show with us will be august 27th in Haverhill, MA with Amaranthus, DWW, Feed Us Fetus, ect...We'd also like to say thank you to dan for all his hard work and good luck. Also thanks to everyone else who tried out.

2ND GUITARIST POSITION!!!!
Just a few requirements we ask:
-good equipment=good tone. yeah.
-a positive/serious attitude (we're all a bunch of goofballs, but we're serious when we have to be)
-flexible schedule (lots of shows, weeknights, weekends) and ability to tour if we get a deal worked out.
-rhythm is the most important aspect, sure you can solo like yngwie (which is a bonus) but it doesn't really mean much to us if you can't play anything else.

We currently practice in Berwick, ME, but we may alternate between my house in Berwick and Needham, MA.

you can check out a newly recorded track that's unmastered @

please contact us if you are interested and we will setup a tryout ASAP:
porphyria603@hotmail.com
or call tom @ 603.781.0993

thanks.

If only I could.

Nick is not only a nasty bassist, but he's got great stage personality. \m/

Hooray for Nick.

And I might consider trying out if you guys are going to practice at his place. Maine's a bit ridiculous. And my schedule's a bit of an issue, Wednesdays and Sundays are rather difficult to do shows on, since I have to close on Sundays and Wednesdays I work until 6. And I don't know how able I would be to tour.

where in needham, ma are you practicing? is it someones house?

I'd imagine it's Nick's house.

yes, Nick.

berwick is about 1 hour 15 min from boston...southern tip of maine. Near dover/nh area.

I don't think we'll be permanently practicing in Needham.

Man, if you were closer I'd do it in a minute. I've been thinking about finding a band to play guitar in during Pillory downtime for a while now, and I fucking LOVE porphyria. Move to boston, would ya?

ok we're still practicing at my house in maine currently. we may get a space in dover, nh...not positive yet....

damnit arrowhead, that would own.

GUITARIST'S, WE STILL NEED SOMEONE TO FILL THE 2ND SLOT. QUIT BEING ASSMANGLERS.

i'd do it, but...






















wait no i wouldn't

burn!

id at least try out if i lived in the area but alas....

KillerKadoogan said:

you got that right.

i'm fucking shocked nobody else has tried out.

Move to Mass.

Where and when?

RustedAngel said:

of course i did. that's why i said it. that's not to say i couldn't do it, if that's what you're implying.

yeah, that's what i'm implying! kthnx!

NEEEEEEEEEEXT..........

i love you.

hummmmmmmmmp!

Why am i not out of highschool yet.... FUCK. Guys, gimme about a year and a half, and im good to go.

someone jam with us!

when/where do you guys practice? I may come up and jam if it's on a night I can do (and not too far of a drive)

that's the problem it seems, we practice too far away for everyone.

we practice at my house, about 1 hour and 15 minutes north of boston.

we are looking to get a practice space in dover, nh which is like an hour from boston but you can practice any time of night.

well, I'm like 30 mins north of Boston, so that's not too bad, that puts me at about a 45 minute drive (30 the way I drive) Tom, Catch me on AIM and maybe we can figure something out.

I really dont' want to resort to paying for a practice space, but we need a place to keep the drums and other gear instead of having to bring it to and from practices all the time.

RustedAngel said:

Agreed, paying for a place to play sucks.

If you want, I'll come up and jam one of these days. just catch me on AIM or give me a buzz and we can probably figure something out.

DreamingInExile said:

i about 40 mins away from my band's practice and i drive a gas-hog ramcharger so thats not bad. join em

Ryan from HBBSI still isnt logged in said:

yeah, I chatted with Tom about figuring out a time to head up there and jam... it probably won't happen until the beginning of Oct, because of my lame ass busy schedule, and working around Shroud practices and shows (and I'm trying to get a new car as well)

If you DID permanently practice in MA then I'd be up for it. Even Dover's a bit far, though.

I really don't want to practice in mass unless we can have a place there that's FREE.
