So good to see you back in brutality once again my friends . . . we've had some shitty news come in late on Friday night. We found out that Craig Cole had passed away at his home in Bloomington Illinois. Most of you know Craig as the drummer from the Breed of Sedition, then with Human Hatemachine. Some may know him from his live sound work and studio engineering like for the last Low Twelve CD "This Side Toward Enemy". It's sad when someone goes so early - and so we'll discuss it more as the report unfolds. It's always hard to write about other stuff when someone passes like that - but I know that they would rather hear about good stuff happening with Low Twelve and Heavycore armies . . . so I forge the fuck on for them!
We've got a new show to report at a new spot in Champaign, plus you'll see me take on armies of posers with sword and shield - warning you'll see me bathing in the blood of those weak ass posers! Fuck yeah! Also Les, Wes and I are getting together now each week to mix down the five recorded songs for our next CD "Blackened Spiral Down". Things are moving along at a good pace . . . and you may be able to get in on the video for "Chopping Block". We're going to be needing some extras, so read on about how to get involved with that. It should be a BLAST! All that plus more, and of course all the hot chicks you can shake a cock at.
You posers out there should be warned - I've got my sword swinging for your fucking head this time. So watch it while I bury my steel in your skull of mush! Metal freaks, enjoy the carnage!
Now get on with it . . .
| CRAIG COLE DIES FRIDAY |
|
| Wes called me Friday night
to tell me the shitty news about Craig. It was a shock to hear it
of course, we've all known Craig for many years going all the way back
to Stomp Fest in 1999. Craig was a young crazy bastard then,
jamming with the guys in the Breed of Sedition. Those were some
crazy ass times for sure, back in Pontiac where everything seemed to get
nuts real quick. Craig was a fun guy to hang with and a kick ass
drummer for sure! A few years later he moved to Bloomington, which was cool for us since that's where we all live. That's when he started doing live engineering and sound recording. We hooked up with him for the "This Side Toward Enemy" CD where he engineered the drums and guitar tracking at his home studio. We did the rest (bass/vocals) at my place and I engineered that myself. But Craig's help was very instrumental in putting that CD together. Craig also did live sound for us on many occasions and it was killer - since he knew our stuff inside out. He was also a huge Low Twelve fan and really enjoyed our music. He was so supportive and came out to so many shows - so he's been appreciated in so many ways - by so many people. |
The actual cause of Craig's death is not known to me at this time, and I don't want to write anything that is not the truth. We have not been informed of any services for Craig, but someone did mention that there would be some sort of graveside service and get together. We should know more later today or tomorrow.
So remember Craig as a metal freak with a lust for life. Don't focus on any of the negative. But you can always take this time to reflect and do what you need to do to continue on.
We'll miss you Colonator!
RIP to both . . . Bubba and Cole at Low Twelve

So you want to try something new at
church? I know this may come off as a bit disgusting to some, I
guess this is the Brutality Report - so fucking deal with it bitches! This one is pretty nasty, but made me laugh. It's called ASS WEDNESDAY. Enjoy! During Ash Wednesday Mass, secretly shit in a glass bowl. During the distribution of ashes, walk to the front of the congregation with your bowl of shit as if you were another ash distributor. When people come to you for ashes, stick your thumb in the shit and give them a 'Dirty Sanchez' while saying, "from ass you came and it is to ass you shall return. Now if you can take a pic and email it to us - we'd love it. That's contact@lowtwelve.com and we'll let the whole world know how fucked up you are! Bust out the fine china! |

| THOSE HOT SLUTS NEXT DOOR |
|
| So you fuckers love to see
chicks getting naked? Well, you've cum to the right place.
In this column each week we feature a different hot chick, although Next
Door Nikki seems to dominate our reports each week. She's hot as
hell and it's no wonder her webmaster sends her galleries to us nearly
every week! While you're checking out these galleries, feel free to take the site visits. They're usually free and you can see more than just a few pics. Some of them feature videos and more. If you join up as a member, you get to see all the galleries and some of them include some seriously wicked stuff! Often times you can chat with the girls and mail in stuff for them to wear for future photo shoots. How about that? Check out these galleries we're featuring this week and don't worry about it. I won't tell on you. Promise! Just don't blame us if you get in trouble at home or school . . . or like one poor Twelve Head - he got fired from work for looking at porn. Use some fucking common sense . . . grab that box of tissues and get to spankin! |
| KILLING POSERS BY 300 . . . |
|
| With the movie 300 coming
out, I was feeling a bit inspired to get in on the blood shed.
What the hell? So check out my latest creation as I shred posers
by the 300 with sword in hand! Ha - I've been at war with those pussies before many of you were even born I bet! It all started back in 1984 when I started playing bass in a band called Sacred Oath. I had this real lame bass when I first started, that I was ashamed of because it was natural wood color with a white pick guard. It just looked lame! I stripped it down with a buddy of mine and we repainted it all white. Then we took red paint and made blood spatters all over it. We even took a real goat's tooth and glued it into the body, so simulate someone getting smashed in the face with the bass and leaving their tooth behind. It was sick as fuck. On the back of the neck it said "die you fucking poser". I even wrote a song called "Posers Must Die" and we played it live - I did the vocals. That's what gave me the singing bug I guess. So I've been tormenting them for 23 years now and going strong . . . so it's nothing new. Years later people laugh sometimes about how I throw that word around. Liz from Metal Maniacs commented once about the Roasting Posers DVD - "they were throwing the word poser around like it was 1987 again." Fuck yeah! I love it. Back in 2000 I had an interesting conversation with a guy who was real tight with a lot of the Peoria based bands who I clashed with every week in these brutal passages. He said that they all hated me with a passion, but that what really got under their skin was how I called them all posers all the time. He said it really fucked with them. Well . . . that's all he needed to say. That's when we launched the hilarious Poser High banners and many more things like it. Of course big 6-band Heavycore shows are called Poser Roasts, and the list goes on. So for all the posers out there who fucking hate me for doing that - I will continue to spew that word from my lips as long as I can utter a word! Die you fucking POSER! |
| LOW TWELVE UPDATES -
BE IN OUR VIDEO! Wes, Les and I will be getting together tomorrow night here at my home studio to mix down songs for the new CD. We talked about doing it on a weekly basis so that we can finish them up and begin working on the rest of the videos. As discussed in earlier reports, our next CD will have 10 new songs coupled with 10 new videos. It's going to be cool as hell! Also, we're getting ready to film the video for "Chopping Block" and plan to make this one a funny one. We need lots of extras to play like dead bodies. It's going to be a lot of fun and will likely be on a Saturday morning in Bloomington Illinois. We plan on doing this in the next 4-6 weeks. So if you're interested - please email me at pete@lowtwelve.com and I'll keep you informed with dates/times and all that. |
