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.
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).
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.
After the release of our new album, we were playing in a lot of places. We usually just got to big cities (Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and some), but we've got to any other middle-small cities that's 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...
ACID KING will come to Japan.
The tour's comfirmed. There are 4 shows from Feburuary 2nd to 5th. We'll support them and play 3 shows. Also any other great Japanese heavy rock bands will join the each shows. Anyway, don't miss the legendaly Stoner rock band's first Japan tour. Click here to the details.
This is totally big present for Japanese heavy rock heads.
Compositions for our new album that's called "SEACHING LOW & HIGH" are finished!
In March, we came back from US and started the touring in Japan with NEBULA soon. We played 4 shows with them (2 shows in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka), and that was successful. All we had a great time each other, and also exciting shows for Japanese heavy rock heads.
After the touring, we restarted the recording in April. A lots of things were added at our studio. In May, track down was started, and we had to make the sleeve at same time, so we got so tired... Anyway, whole things of new one "SEACHING LOW & HIGH" have done. We just wait for put out the album will be put out from Diwphalanx records in 22nd July.
We joined DVD "Wizard's Convension - Japanese Heavy Rock Show Case-" that will appear in 6th June (soon!). 4 bands are included (Boris, Greenmachine, Church of Misery, and us). About us, 2 songs ("Twilight High", "Splendid, selfish woman") are included on. This is our first official live thing. I don't know how do people except Japanese get this, probably StonerRock.com (All that Heavy) will sell this.

in US, EU and any other areas.
We have a plan to record this album in LA, California in Feburuary, and
also play a few show in LA and Minneapolis.
Great Argentinean Doom/Stoner label "Dias De Garage" will put

about it.
June 29th, 2004
We had really
good time with Church of Misery, Outrage, Coffins, The Sad Mile guys in
May 16th. I think that day was almost one of legendaly gig. I was moved
by bunch of people.
Our next show is August 29th in Nagoya with GREENMACHiNE and CHURCH OF
MISERY. This gig is kind of releasing party of those 2 bands. We'll support
that.
We already started the writing of some new songs for next album. We have
a plan to record next shit at our best friend Jhon's studio in L.A. on
february 2005. We'll get to there to get the fat analog sound.
And, there is also great plan that touring in Japan with NEBULA in March
2005. We hope it come true. We wanna really play with them.
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 from Church of Doom Recordings.
New bassist TANA HAUGO has joined EE. We already started the reheasal and song writing for our future releases. And, we'll record some jam sessions for compilation from new label Ubiquitous Records.

Next bassist TANA HAUGO will join the band in November. She is still living in Minneapolis, USA. She has decided to move to Japan for playing with EE.
May 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. (Yukito Okazaki)
May 15th, 2003
Sadly news...
Bassist Ume will leave the band after the recording work of split album
with Of The Spacistor. Reason to leave isn't kind of collisions of the
opinion, that is his personal. His contribution took Eternal Elysium to
the new world of EE's rock. I appriciate him so much, and wish his success.
Everybody, keep on looking and support his new way. (Yukito Okazaki)
EE is looking for new Bass player. If you're interested in us, get in
touch soon. (mail)
About split album w/Of The Spacistor, we keep on recording 3 songs that
will be finished until the end of July. So, album will be put out on in
August from Cornucopia records.
