Deathbiter // Black Spring.

deathbiter(at)gmx(dot)com "You’re obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities and vain pretenses of your civilization which makes you sad, troubled and unbalanced. In that intolerable conflict you lose all joy of life and all feeling of personality, because at every moment they suppress and restrain and check the free play of your powers. That’s the poisoned and mortal wound of the civilized world." (Octave Mirbeau, The Torture Garden).

I drew a picture for Black Spring, it’ll be the upcoming demo tape cover and hopefully a good sized poster. I also did them a logo too, it’s a cock. Bleak jams, self-doubt. Mental illness and masturbation. pencil/ink/tip-ex 2014.

It was fun to do a band logo again, it’s been a while.

Past gigs. We were a last minute addition to the Brains/Venus Sleeps gig, hence we're not on the flier.

After a two year hiatus, Deathbiter Cassettes is due to return in the coming months. Since half of Black Spring are involved in running the label, I figured it'd save time and effort just having one blog for both endeavours.

Previous Deathbiter releases (SICKENER/KARNALxBUNT split demos, and RATS BLOOD - 8 TRACKS) are long sold out from me, though HEADWRECKER may/may not have some copies of the RB tape left.

The next release on Deathbiter Cassettes will be the Black Spring demo, which is being recorded this weekend. Black Spring are also planning a short Irish tour at the end of June with Siorai Geimhreadh, the dates of which are as follows:

26 June - The Hut, Dublin

27 June - Cork Community Print Shop, Cork.

28 June - The Warzone Centre, Belfast.

More info as we have it.
