7.45-8.15 - PRIMITIVE

Hailing from London, England, Primitive are probably one of the top

underground bands on the circuit today. With their blend of melodic

death metal and progressive polyrhythmic grooves, this act continue to

push the boundaries of what is expected from the British metal scene.

9.15-10.00 - INTENSIVE SQUARE

Intensive Square - PREMIUM OBNOXIOUS WELSH METAL from Cardiff. Influenced by Pantera, Meshuggah, Crowbar, Naked City, Ornette Coleman and films - their take on modern progressive metal comprises hulking rhythmic passages, megalithic guitars, psychotic drumming, squealing saxophones and the throat of an ancient to deliver an original and devastating smack to teeth of their listeners - assuming their listeners have mouths in their ears (which they do). Having played Bloodstock Open Air Festival 2011, as well as support slots for Soilent Green, Shining (Norway) and Black Breath, the band is looking forward to breaking some necks in 2012..

10.15-11.45 - WRETCHED SOUL

Wretched Soul was formed in late 2008 amid the mist-veiled marshes and ruined medieval ramparts of Kent, Southern England. In 2011 the band has begun recording their debut album with producer legend Chris Tsangarides (Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, King Diamond etc.). Taking their brand of Thrash/Death Metal to the masses, Wretched Soul never fails to wreck-necks and evoke the true spirit of Metal supporting the likes of Blaze Bayley, Beholder, Eastern Front and Sarah Jezebel Deva. 2012 will see the release of the forthcoming album.

Zombies, Guns, Robots and Gore - thats the Sa-da-ko Way

Ok, its been awhile but its finally here!!

6 months in the making and a budget of £8.2 million, this video has been one of the most exiting things we've done as it combines all the things Sa-da-ko loves.

Zombies, Guns, Robots, Gore & Metal..........!

The video itself is based on actual events that will happen in the future and is the brain child of Mr J Raw, part of the team over at www.Mycho.co.uk.

I have to admit there's been as much of a drama bringing this to you as there is on the screen but we feel its been totally worth it. Well done guys!!!

So sit back chug a beer, sip a jack and let us give you......Forced Evolutionary Virus!

Sa-da-kO 4: citizens on patrol

Wow!!!

2012 is here!! And I’ve only gone and got Sa-da-ko.com back!!!

So where have been I here you ask???

Well, we’ve been writing up in aku studio at the moment and keeping a rather a low profile as everything moves ever forward, Sa-da-ko has evolved into something that the myself and the rest of the guys could never had imagined and its thirst for our creative knowledge is forever draining us of life force which means we are literally not having time to do anything else.

The Album itself is already named “awakenings” and we are about 8/9 tracks in, I think we are hoping to bring a 12-15 track table for this one and when we first discussed this it seemed so easy!!

I think I speak for the rest of the band when I say we really wanted to exceed ourselves with this one and give a treat to the people who followed us closely last year, bought the shit and more importantly bought us drinks so keep an eye out of the coming months for teasers ‘n’ shit.

In other news......

• Sa-da-ko will be playing a one of show at roper hall in Preston this Friday (Friday the 13th..uhoh) along with the chaps at Rampage & ROP Records. It intends to be our last show until we have the album ready so come down and join the fun.
  


• Metallica promise the next album will be a heavier “black album”.............LOL
  Forced Evolutionary Virus Video is Finished and we are about to drop this anyday now

sa-da-ko.com

God Damn it!!!!

You may have noticed this site has moved from WWW.Sa-da-ko.com, not through any decision of my own but due to a miscommunication with google and me. As you can tell I’m blaming google for this fuck up!!! But don’t worry bloggy watchers I intend to get this back!!

In the meantime why not enjoy the space of our new domain name www.bestmetalbandever.com

Sa-Da-KO and the flasher

Sup bitches, back again for a quickie ;)

As you can see by the photos in the last blog entry... ha ha, "entry" ... there was a couple of rather superb photomographs, taken by Mr Darren Rowley whose company DRP photography can be found right here (Thats a Sa-Da-KO fact!!!)!!!

We found Darren to be an excellent photographer, with a good eye for a shot, and fairly unobtrusive while ya playin, not noticing when he was snappin away, only seein the finished results when back home, promptly makin em profile pics in some cases!!



Kent based Darren has several websites including a facebook, (obvs!) which showcases the different aspects of photography he specialses in, which is varied, corporate, glamor, wildlife, travel, portraits, nudes, model portfolios and everything in between!! his profile reads...

"Since the early 1990‘s Darren has combined photography with a passion for wildlife, conservation and travel. A keen environmentalist and active supporter of many wildlife charities, Darren has spent time as a research volunteer studying Humpback whales and Bottlenose dolphins in Hawaii and in the UK as a volunteer for Drusillas Zoo. Late 2008 Darren turned his camera to the ‘human animal’ and more recently corporate and social events."

Darren is obviously very talented, and, through reading the testimonials on his site, is very well respected by everyone who works with him, and we would urge you to check out his work.

PLEASE NOTE: The image at the top of the page is not the work of DRP, it was captured by an undercover policeman following our drummer Gregzilla as he exposed himself to his "bitches" in a public place, and was subsequently arrested.

Sa-Da-KO out

Sick Ass Metal meets Sick promotion- The Metal Circus!!

Fuck me, its been too long!! It would seem we have been so busy lately, we have neglected the blogs, and for that I can only offer our apologies, and cut my cock off. So with that, let us begin some hardcore blog-age, like a Hadouken to ya brown star this is the first of a few installments letting you know what the dickens we've been up to recently.



As some of you will know, we have just been on a mini tour of the southern parts of this foul country, with our brothers from other mothers Subservience!! Our first stop took us to Gravesend again, here we were looked after/ abused by the lovely people from Sick Promotions who, definitely know how to throw a party, that there is a fact, A MOTHERFUCKIN SA-DA-KO FACT... ahem... sorry. Anyway, I digress. Sick Promotions are, as the name suggests, a promotions company, but a promo company with a difference. Several sexy differences actually, different as in fire. lots of fire, and dancing... POLE- Dancing, and poi, and burlesque, and a crazy dead guy as master of ceremonys, and burlesque... oh sorry I mentioned that!! But yeah, you get the picture, these guys and girls put on an awesome show, and work fuckin hard to ensure everyone has a good time, and judging by the smiling faces, I don't think many were disappointed!




While we were there, we had the honor of watching a show by Daniella Martin (Who has performed with the Circus of Horrors) ascending the Ladder of Swords, jumping on broken glass, lying on a bed of Nails and "Human Blockhead" which involves 6 inch nails and her face, Ill let your imagination work the rest out- this lovely lady is well ard, trust me!




Reading through their blurb on their website, i noticed that they give what they can back too, offering internships etc, which is awesome of them. Too many promo company's nowadays do very little, relying on the bands to do their job for em, are disorganized, and as long as they get paid, don't really give a shit, Sick promo however are in it for the love of a good show, and do everything in their power to make it happen. Heres what they have to say about themselves...


"We are an Alternative Entertainment Promotions company with a difference.

Sick Promotions has been operating since November 2010 and offers local musicians the opportunity to perform alongside special guest and resident fire performers, circus acts, burlesque performers and pole dancers, whilst offering students and graduates internships and jobs at the same time.

We support unsigned musicians by offering the scene free to enter competitions, promotional contracts, recording studio time, music video production, radio play on MTM Radio and assistance in graphics and web design for free. We raise the money to fund these services through our events and agency performances throughout the United Kingdom.

It is an innovative approach to promoting which we are now looking to take to the next level.

Are YOU sick enough?!"

We certainly were, an we loved every minute of it! If your reading this an in a band, or into firey dancy entertainmenty stuff I suggest you hook the hell up with these dudes, an get involved in one of there sick circuses smash em an e.mail to sickpromo@gmail.com, check out their site http://www.sickpromotions.info and facebook too, tell em Sa-Da-Ko made you do it ;)

So yeah thats about it for this one, thank your mother for the rabbits x




im not gonna cut my cock off for the record!!

Customizing a Drum Kit with Vinyl the Sa-da-kO Way

Shooting starts on Mycho Pictures vision of our latest track "Forced Evolutionary Virus" tomorrow and this week we have been shining up our gear to make sure everything looks all shiny for it.

The only problem is most of our gear is starting to look a little worse for wear and this includes Gregzilla's hybrid pearl export kit which was made up of 2 separate drum kits.

With time on our side and a vision of awesomeness in our mind we set to work stripping the kit of all hard wear, most of the kit had a silver wrap which was something that pearl had already put on there. I say silver but it had actually become a putrid greeny silver from being stored to near a window.

Not metal at all I'm afraid this has got to go.......

If your thinking of trying this type of customizing yourself most of it comes off easy but make sure you store the bits somewhere safe and do it one drum at a time, at one point here we nearly mixed a lot of parts together but with our friend the takeaway box we were able to keep it all separate.

With the drum stripped down naked like Gregs mum we quickly set upon it applying the vinyl wrap, after a double dose of measuring it and stretching it across the full drum we simply stripped the back off and applied, I have heard that people apply glue at this stage but the vinyl is sticky enough and to be honest once the hardware goes back on it'll be hugging the drum nice n tight.

We cut all the excess vinyl off the sides by resting the blade on the outside of the drum and running it round the drum itself.

Hint:if you do this at a 45 degree angle it should sit flush with the edge of the drum......schnick!

With the vinyl on we thought it was worth grabbing some Brasso and shining up all the silvery hardware before it went back on, we then made holes through the vinyl with a screwdriver from the top poking in, this helped stop the vinyl wrinkling when attaching the side bits on.

Bingo......!!

We basically repeated the process on all the drums and then onto the bass drum.....

we treated this a bit different, firstly cos its bigger but mostly because the hoops on the front and back had a a silver wrap trim. Rather than remove this we thought it would be better just to paint it black.

Choice of colour: Satin Black we also painted the entire drum rack in this

Once this dries we popped it back on careful not to scratch the paint now.....

After setting the kit back we admired the handy work but still felt there was something missing....?

We thought the kit looked great but really though that the whole kit would look better with the bottom resonant toms in black, armed with our shoe string budget there was no way we were going to get these so we grabbed the spray can and set to work again

Thanks to the awesome weather we had these dried quick smart so back on they went ....

As a finishing touch I was able to pop an Aku vinyl I had hanging around.

Heres Zilla trying his new kit out, not sure whether he likes it or not though.

So there you have it one refurbished kit!!!!

the blood red finished makes it look like its made from dragon skin and it looks the biz once its all set up for the video it should look shiny and immense in HD.

We'll be reporting on set tomorrow and be taking some behind the scenes shots to tease you all with so I'm sure you get to see the full finished product. until next time I leave you with the DRAGON...........
