We’re killing it out on the Avenged Sevenfold tour and while we’re in Canada we thought we would stop by MTV Canada and play a few songs for them to air. 100 lucky fans will get to see this (and maybe get on TV) for free. This special show is on December 17th at the Masonic Temple on 888 Yonge Street in Toronto. Tickets are available to anyone over 16 so call 1-888-491-6888 or email liveaudience@mtv.ca to get them.

See you there

-Shadows Fall

Jason will be showcasing his talents as a drumming machine at the 2008 Drum-Off finals. If that wasn’t awesome enough; the rest of Shadows Fall (minus Brian) will be his backing band. Mark your calendars for January 10; it’s going to be at the Music Box located at the Henry Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles.

Head over to www.ticketweb.com to get your tickets ASAP.

Lets talk about my main “family”, (as dysfunctional as we are) SHADOWS FALL are still painstakingly working on our new album. So far we have about 5 songs completed, and I have to say this is some of the best stuff we’ve ever done. Yeah I know everybody always says that, but I really feel this record is going to smoke!!! So far it’s leaning towards the angrier/heavier side of things, but don’t worry, we haven’t lost sight of melody………it’s still there. We will play the “make-up”shows with AX7 in December……..NJ,CT and then up to CANADA Dec 12-17th, so make sure to not miss that!! Today we are actually on our way to NJ to see our manager put the ball and chain on his leg…………yes,yes, he’s getting married, and I don’t mean that in a bad way, we just like busting on him as much as possible………and yes, for the first time ever Shadows Fall will play a wedding…………sort of………..jeez, we didn’t even play at mine!! Best of luck Dave and Cara!! www.shadowsfall.com www.myspace.com/shadowsfall

Ok, well speaking of melody, you will find none of that with BURNING HUMAN!!! Just straight up in-your-face brutality. THE RECORD IS FINALLY DONE!!! The master sits on my dining room table as we speak! We are signing our deal this weekend, and hope to have “Resurrection Through Fire” out by early 2009! We played a show last weekend in Binghamton, NY which was a lot of fun. Next week we head down to The Chance in Poughkeepsie, NY to play with Overcast……….and for any of you who don’t know, Overcast is my singer Brian’s (sf) other band, so SHAD FANS - come support us in our struggling bands!! And then we will headline Northern Lights in Albany, NY on Nov. 28th “THE BLACK FRIDAY BEATDOWN” , also appearing on this bill will be a “very special guest” closing act…………..I can’t name any names, but most of it’s members are playing that same night in other bands (myself included). www.myspace.com/burninghuman4

DARK DAY SUNDAY……….WHAT??? another band, yep, another band. I sometimes wonder why I’m tired and sore all the time, but as I write this I can figure out why. DDS is the brainchild of my good friend Frank Aresti from the legendary FATES WARNING!!! now those who know me, know how much of a Fates fan I am, so any chance to jam with anyone from that band is a Godsend to me. We started the longtime coming drum tracks this past week in Massachusetts, and I tied my WAR WITHIN record - 7 songs in one session, with multiple takes. This album is going to crush as well, so much heaviness mixed with melody, and a lot of musicianship. “Halfway to Godz” is my fav song…………well from a drum perspective it is…….it’s a 200bpm’r that is killer single stroke rolls with the hands and feet for most of the tune, it’s a workout!! Keep an eye out in 2009 www.myspace.com/darkdaysunday.
