4.10.07 It was a wild ride but all great things must come to an end. Torn Asunder has officially disbanded. Most notable for their blistering 2006 New England Metal and Hardcore festival performance, the group has decided to part ways. There is no bad blood between any members and the future is yet unclear. We wish everyone luck in their future endeavors. If you haven't picked up "Recollections" yet do it now. The cd won't be repressed and we're sure they won't last. *Also available on itunes. On the brighter side. The artwork, handled by Jason Hobart of H-Design, has been completed for the long awaited Crematorium picture disc for "The Process of Endtime". More details to come, but look for roughly an August release date. Don't forget to check out Pristina at www.myspace.com/pristina666 . The new album hits 06/05/07. Pre-order it today!

3.12.07 We are excited to announce an addition to the Spare Change Roster! Pristina, a new band featuring former members of 100 Demons, Invocation of Nehek and Dry Kill Logic. The group's debut album, "Boner Jams (The Harpooned Heart)", will be released this spring. Vocalist Brendan K. Duff had the following to say: "Basically we cannot stand the mediocre hair-and-pants bands that somehow pass for metal or metalcore, or what have you these days. We identify with older greats like Bloodlet, Starkweather, Rorshach, Today Is The Day and Deadguy. We're definitely not for everyone, but fans of the aforementioned bands finally have an alternative to the garbage that these current bands are forcing down our throats."

1.18.07 Happy new year! Hope everyone had a great holiday. 2007 looks like it's going to be better than ever. If you haven't noticed already, we decided to extend the combined shipping sale on ebay until the end of Feb. due to the overwhelming response. Now's the time to save.
