but I already got of there. My condition is getting much better,
so I have no problem to play right now. Thanks for the people
who sent me great messeges and viblations. I think I don't forget
this hard and moved experience. |

We'll start recording for next album soon.
We'll leave Japan in 26th Feb, to get to west coast in US. The
studio DONNER & BLITZEN is the place to record our new materials.
We used to do here about 4 years ago with great engineer Mathis
Shneeberger. We had really good felling on last time, so we try
to do same process again with him. Only backing tracks of new
songs will be recorded here for 4,5 days. We're gonna do some
more overdubbings, vocals tracks, something like that at our studio
Zen after we've backed from US. We hope everything will be done
until middle of June. New album will be put out in someday August.
And, we'll play 3 shows in west coast(San
diego-March 6th / LA-7th / San Francisico-8th).
Our brothers BLACK COBRA - they join 3 gigs all. Great. And, also
one of our favorite band EARTHLESS will join 2 gigs (San Diego,
Los Angeles). Doom act DAMNWEEVIL will share the stage in San
Fracisco. Anyway, we hope you guys don't miss our shows. Check

August
30th, 2008
We had really good time to tour with OM in June, and also with REVELATION
in July.
Both they got great reactions in Japan.
In July, after the touring with REVELATION, we started to record
new song for compilation album "V.A./LIFE
CONCEPTION". This album will be released from MCR
Company.
MCR
is one of important Punk/HC label in Japan. MCR
has 25 years great history on Japanese underground scene, and still
goin' on now. We're so glad to work with this label.
Our song is called "The Agent of Doom : Agony / The Sure Hit".
One of part on this song has the most fastest beat on every EE songs.
That's very interesting experience for us. We didn't know, such
a hard to play the hard core beat...
Anyway, we like this song so much. Release date is 15th October.
We're still trying to write new songs for next album. That's not
smooth, but can look forward day by day. |

7th, 2008
Sorry, I couldn't update this page long time.
We had a really good time in 2007, too. Lots of shows, like playing
with Orange Sunshine from Netherland in Feb, and we were busy to
make split CD with Black Cobra. This split CD's put out from Diwphalanx
records in August, and EE and BC Japan tour was followed this one
in September, and that's successfully, totally.
We've played with Electric Wizard, too, in November. All shows on
this tour were sold out. Great.
We're playing at 4,5 places in hometown Nagoya on these a few months.
This mean's really good. Long time ago, we haven't any places to
play anymore, just except some tiny dusty stinky places. Things
about us are very well, at least better than 15 years ago, ha ha.
Well, we'll play with WITCHCRAFT (from Sweden) in Nagoya on this
weekend. That's their first Japan tour. Also BLOOD FARMERS and ORGE
(from USA) will come to Japan in March. We'll join 2 shows on this
tour, too. |

June
22nd, 2006
We're gonna be touring in US between 30th August and 14th September.
Some shows are already comfirmed - 30th in Portland with my best
friend's Witch Mountain and Ditch Liquor, and 3rd September in Mesa,
Arizona that's reborned "Stoner Hands of Doom VI".
14th Sep - that's last day of this tour, we'll probably in NYC.
Most of dates, we're playing with ACID
KING and BLACK
COBRA.
We've joined the compilation CD "7586 vol.2 - La Nagoya".
This one's put out from "coup label" in Nagoya (our hometown),
any other artists are also from Nagoya, means there's totally Nagoya's
color. Not only heavy rock (only us and a few), many artists from
a lot of style. You can get this one at famous music store that's
like Tower records, something like that. Only 1,000yen (about $9).

20th, 2006
Touring with ACID KING was successfuly. That's toatlly good experience
on our life, and really glad that thay were having a good time in
Japan except the classic style of Japanese toilet, I guess. We've
hit 3 big cities and got great reactions from bunch of Jap's heavy
rock heads. We've confirmed there is real heavy rock scene that's
getting bigger a bit more than past day by day. That's still not
so big, but many people who didn't care the underground music begin
to notice heavy/doom/stoner rock community.
We made the tour t-shirts. Check this
site up if you're interested. I'm not sure of this company accept
the purchase from overseas, I guess that's possible. Check
it out, anyway.
Well, we're gonna join the big event's called "independence-D"
in Shinkiba, Tokyo on March 5th. I heard 4,500 pieces of advance
ticket is already sold out. We have only just 20 minutes to play.....
umm, that's OK, most of any other bands are same as our situation.
And I think, first experience makes special hit! That's the most
important thing for us. |

really fun. And, the promotion clip for new album ("Reefer
Happiness") is on air on Cable/Satelite TV proglam that's like
MTV Japan. Check it out on the proglam if you're staying/living
in Japan. See you guys on midnight programs. I'll try that people
can check it on this web site, but I don't know how to do. Let me
know how to convert the file...

We've
got 4 shows since Tana has joined.
At first gig, we' ve played a few old songs and jamming so much.
We really enjoyed on kind of Tana's debut gig with EE in Japan.
We got to Tokyo in March, and awesome reactions and voices from
audience told us those guys were really waiting for our coming.
Beautiful.
After that, we've joined the great show of UNSANE and 16 from the
states. They're awesome. We had so good times with those guys. I
was so surprised at Rafa has joined 16. I know him since I've been
to US last time, I saw him in Alameda and San Francisco. I didn't
know he's coming to Japan to play until I met him at venue. That's
amazing. And UNSANE guys... totally crazy, but absolutery great.
Now, we're just starting to record one song for Compilation album

27th, 2003
Also
drummer Tom Huskinson has left the band. Antonio from hard core
band "MUGA" supports next two gigs and recording for
split album.
Honestly, drummer Antonio already joined the band from January,
because we have to keep recordings some tracks, and Tom stayed
in New Zealand, so we had to find new or supporting drummer. I
like Tom's performance, but feel so difficult to ajustment of
schedule each other. He is still my good friend. I wish his success.

him so much, and wish his success. Everybody, keep on looking
and support his new way. (Yukito Okazaki)
