28Aug2002 We are now sold out of our previous album, "Widow Chamber". We are not sure whether or not to print more copies. Over the past few weeks we have had many requests for this album but our original print run of 50 copies is gone. If we get enough requests for this album we may consider printing more, but it's all up to you the fans. 26Aug2002 Last night we played at Infest 2002 to a room packed with eager victims! The show was a great success and we really enjoyed ourselves. Many thanks to Clive an Lisa for all their help and for selling merchandise for us. 30Jul2002 Today we sold out of the "Bring On The Dying" e.p. completely. We will not be printing anymore copies because all but one of the tracks features on the new album "Blunt Force Trauma". Thanks to all our fans for making this sell out possible. 27Jul2002 The website is back up! 25Jul2002 14Jul2002 Greetings to all. We are back after a fantastic German tour with Feindflug.

The 13 tracks will now be sent to Noitekk's studio in Chemnitz, Germany for mastering and we will be busy finishing the designs for the booklet. Since Grendel's next release has been delayed, our album will be released by Noitekk a little earlier than expected. Look for it in March!!!!

With that out of the way, we've begun work on our second full album, "Blunt Force Trauma". The first track for that album, "Shocked Thoroughfare" has already been recorded and you can hear it on the Music page.

Our Album "Widow Chamber" is now available at Nightbreed Recordings for £ 6.99; Nightbreed Recordings Aslan Faction's music is currently playing @ The website has undergone a complete overhaul. Let us know if something doesn't work. 26Feb2001The CD is ready!!!!! Really, honest! Just this past weekend we finished mixing all 4 tracks; Widow Chamber (Extended Mix), Left Haunted, Imposed On Tabloid (Tortured Mix) and Burn. There have been many changes to the track listing but this will be it, finally. Imposed On Tabloid is the latest track we have written and the first to feature Dom Mather on guitar. (ex-GdStK). We are still working on the single release of Widow Chamber. Ant still has to re-record some vocals for Left Haunted and I need to then go over the final mix. All said and done, the CD should be off to the printers by the end of Jan. Fingers crossed! We are just putting the finishing touches to the sleeve designs, and making sure that the mix is just right. Once this is finished, this week sometime, the stuff will go to the CD house. Today we finally finished 'Burn' which will feature on our first proper CD. (I'll put up the ra file soon but it sounds the same as what's there just longer.) We mistakenly aimed to complete an albums worth of songs before pressing and just making CD-R's in the meantime. People have been asking for demos to review and promoters will never book us without. So in the next couple of weeks we will send some tracks out to be pressed. Here is what we expect to be on the CD;
If you have any ideas for other songs that should replace these let us know. (More tracks can be heard in Real Audio on the music page.) Although previously not considered, Aslan Faction are going pursue gigging in the very near future. We will aim for London but will consider playing anywhere. Aslan Faction may never see the stage but that cannot be ruled out, never say never. Wasn't that a band? (it was actually) Anyway, studio recording will start soon but RealAudio songs can be heard on the Music link at the top of this site in the mean time. The Lyrics and News page will start soon and the photo shoot is looming, so hang tight. If you have any comments or wish to be added to our emailing list see the Contact page. |
