Hey Twelve Heads . . . . only one more to go!  Can you believe that next weekend will bring the 100th Brutality Report?  It doesn't seem like that long ago my friends . . . but it's been a brutal 100 weeks for sure.  That's nearly two years of non-stop nastiness coming straight into your email boxes, and bringing the world so much pleasure!  Wait til you see what I've got in store . . . .

No shows this weekend . . . so don't throw yourself from a window or anything.  It's ok . . . get down from their dammit!  We've got a killer show next weekend in St. Louis and a full plate for the upcoming months.  You'll read about another round of screwing carpet into Hippie's walls as the cops come a-knockin' once again.  Also an interview I did with splattertribe zine that totally kicks ass!  Also the new Low Times hits the streets after a short delay . . . with a killer pull-out poster.  So much more to terrify the weak and feeble!

So enough already with introductions my friends . . . . get on with the report.  Get something cold to drink, and maybe grab a snack . . . this might take a while.  Let's get to it!


NEXT WEEKEND IN ST. LOUIS

Oh yeah we're fucking pumped for next weekend as we cross the state lines into Missouri for a show at the world famous Creepy Crawl in downtown St. Louis.  We've heard so many great things about this club, from bands we've played with like Pro-Pain.  Many thanks to Shannon down there for liking the cd so much and giving us a chance to throw down! 

Suplecs will be headlining the show, and their bass player is also in Eyehategod . . . which many of you have heard of before.  We'll be going on second . . . so the place should be warmed up for a nice tampon tossin', skull cracking, testicle stomping, good fuckin' time.  We'll be bringing it for sure - so watch the fuck out St. Louis.

Check 'em out online at www.creepycrawl.com

Shannon is also really into the Heavycore concept and would like to do more with Core bands.  So stay tuned as we continue to spread the word and help our brothers into a new market many in Central Illinois haven't had much success with!  Leave it to Heavycore to pave the fuckin' path!


SPLATTERTRIBE INTERVIEW

Thanks to our good friend Berry from Requiem, we hooked up with splattertribe zine - which is a fucking awesome metal website full of some crazy shit.  Go check out the interview I did with them.  They asked me some of the most fucked up questions! 

We've got more interviews on the way . . . a couple of the east coast radio stations that have been playing Flesh of the Weak in regular rotation on their metal shows, want to do phone interviews prior to the tour.


NEW LOW TIMES OUT

Don't miss the new Low Times, issue #15, as it hits the streets this week in the most brutal of ways.  Check out the killer poster complete with a listing of our upcoming shows . . . so you can tape it to the fridge so your mom  knows when we're playing.  We'll have it out in the Central Illinois stores this week and will be mailing out stacks to our ever-growing street team in Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Connecticut, Maryland, Nevada, and South Dakota.

GO WEST HEAVYCORE

It never ceases to amaze me how Heavycore continues to expand and improve with time.  We've now exploded into existence in California as Nasty Nate from P.C.P. - our new Core brothers, is on a mission.  Nate wanted to help and so I put him on recruiting duty.  He answered the call in a big way, signing up 8 bands, a record label, a radio station, and a couple other supporters in less than one week! 

He plays bass and sings in his band from the Bay area . . . and they also kick total ass.  Nate is preparing to do some Core shows and hopes to be able to do a Poser Roast in the very near future!  That's a big fuck yeah!

MORE CARPET . . . . AND A NEW TUNE!

This week at practice we had to put more fucking carpeting on the walls to keep the noise down.  Hippie must have a new neighbor that can't handle the brutalness twice a week.  So thanks to a local carpeting store for donating scraps to help the cause, we are completely encased in a cocoon of carpet!  It really sucks when someone shits themselves at practice. 
Now check this out . . . Wes hangs an air freshener off one of his bass drums to help combat the person at practice who frequents the "ass sax".  For a free copy of Flesh of the Weak . . . which band member shits himself so offensively at practice that Wes had to hang this from his bass drum? 

Send your answer to contact@lowtwelve.com and win a free cd.  Only one guess per person and no one who's actually been to one our practices, to have your nose hair singed, can enter!

Here's some pics of the continued carpeting effort, thanks to Hippie for continuing to destroy his house in the name of Low Twelve.  YOU RULE MAN!

 

 
this was once someone's living room . . . now it's a carpet cocoon for four idiots who play too fucking loud

We also started working on a new song called "Heavycore".  Yes, it's the Heavycore union song that we'll post to the Core site and let any of our Core brethren cover and add their own style.  I'd love to see a death metal version or a doom and gloom version.  How about a sick and twisted grindcore version?  Sounds wicked!  The Low Twelve version is fast and heavy as fuck, like a sledgehammer to the ball sack!  I'll probably have the lyrics in the next Brutality Report . . . so stay tuned!  You can guarantee that posers will cower in shame at the unleashing at the Friday the 13th show in April . . .
