...and we're already a month into 2012. Time flies when you're kicking ass. With a brand new album, a killer reissue and a handful of awesome live shows, 2011 shaped up to be quite a year for us. Something of which was waaaaay overdue to happen. In my opinion anyway. We just need to keep that momentum going and get down to doing what we do best - writing some heavy as hell DM. Hopefully we'll have 4 or 5 new tracks by the end of this year for a EP release in 2013. "Why an EP?" you ask? Simply because we never released one before and we just think it would be cool.
So for the time being, instead of something new - here's something old. Really fucking old. The very first rehearsal we EVER did. Which was recorded back in Spring of 1988 with a boombox in the middle of the floor. This was with original singer/founder Bill Thurman on vocals as well (I can't scream like that!).
The song is/was titled Dead appropriately enough. We barely knew what we were doing - but kicking ass all the same.
Ah miss them early days.
Oh well, Enjoy!

Chicago show kicked fucking ass!
Just a quick thanks to all who came out and supported the show at Empty Bottle here in Chicago. The gig was a total success and after 20+ yrs of playing our hometown this was by far THE best show we had here. All bands kicked fucking ass and we all pulled together and all helped each other out with hauling equipment, using each others shit, and just a general all around cool vibe within the bands playing and how the club treated us made this a very memorable night. Very fucking cool, and just a few people shy of selling out the venue!! AMAZING for a local gig. Cheers to all involved.
Here's an interview before the gig with our old friend Ray from Metal Curse did with Mike and I before the show:
Here's Desecration Storm for the Gig:
Also, after reading all the bullshit that has been going on with the Rites of Darkness III fest down in Texas next week....Cianide are DEFINITELY playing!! This Danny (promoter) guy has been a bit of a pain in the ass to deal with but, we have our airline tickets paid for and we will show up. Yes, we were promised hotel and shit like that, and we've not heard back at all on that but, were grown men and can pay for a hotel ourselves and won't cry about it. This ain't the first time we've gotten shafted and won't be the last, fuck it, looking damn forward to TEXAS!!! See ya'll there......as they say. Cheers.

HELL'S REBIRTH CD Reissue on DEEPSEND RECORDS
From DEEPSEND RECORDS website:
We're extremely excited to announce the reissue of CIANIDE "Hell's Rebirth" digipak cd under exclusive license from Displeased Records.

Expect no frills and no bullshit. Only a continuation of the death, doom & destruction maniacs have come to expect over the last 20+ years! This is what true death is all about. CIANIDE KILLS!!!! Don't ever forget this.
"Hell's Rebirth" has been Out of Print and is a true gem of pure underground.
