SHACKLΣS (the new name), other shit.

As you may know we hit some trouble with the name 'shackles' as the Australian death metal band also named shackles already legally owned it. The band was real cool about it so we decided to oblige. Anyway to sort the problem, instead of an "E"  in our name we now have a greek summation symbol- (sigma)"Σ" which is technically not an E, but you cna read it as you like.
Also check out all the blog on the right hand of this page, tons of great stuff. Also if your in sydney next month on the 27th and 28th we will be playing with taipan and suffer. two of australias best bands.. more details announced soon..

recording

Today we got through the first part of guitar tracks... hopefully things will be pretty straight forward and fast moving from now on..anyway..
As I think (?) I stated below the tracks are to be released as a 7" which is to be entitled 'MAUNDER'(not an LP-I thought the material would need a 10" or 12" but it turns out it will fit a 7" which was the original intention anyway). The tape which is coming out on delayed response as a preliminary accompany release to 'Maunder' is to be titled 'Preliminary Hurt' and will have a mixture of old and new songs (4-6 songs).
