RCR titles to be available via Century Media
2007 is going to be our most impressive year yet! Our titles will be available via Century Media in their HUGE fucking catalog, just in case we have a few stragglers out there who was somehow unable to get a copy in the past! This includes URN's
Dancing with the Demigods, Low Twelve's
This Side Toward Enemy, Ominous' ever-popular
Intercorpse and Doom Syndicate's
Beyond Salvation. Of course, you can always score a copy right from the butcher at http:/

Second online store to be opening soon
Also, we're in the midst of setting up a second online store, featuring all of our products and merchandise found on eBay, but without having to actually use eBay! This new store will be able to directly accept your credit card orders, and will be able to feature some titles eBay wasn't letting us put up. It's more work involved, but hey - you all deserve it.
HUNDREDS of hours of footage to be put on YouTube
Over the past couple of years, we've had lots of fun filming shows we've attended, as well as conducted interviews with some of our favorite bands. A small portion of it made its way to Metalworks Radio, but most of it has been collecting dust. Well, on top of everything else we're doing, we finally got around to putting all of that stuff up on YouTube. It's going to be a slow process, but eventually, it'll all finally be up there! Trust us, it'll be worth the wait! For now, check out our MySpace pages for what we got now!

New bands' releases for 2007
Bands to be on the watch in 2007 include Whorrid, Deadnight, Exussum, Ebonmortis and Psychomancer, and quite possibly a few others! A few details need to be nailed out, but we fully anticipate releases from each of these bands will be made available through us in the very near future! We now have the means to successfully promote and distribute more bands and their releases, so we are moving onward and upward!

Raw Aggression IV pending for spring
Some of yas have asked about
Raw Aggression IV, our yearly compilation, so let me fill you in. We're pretty much set on which bands will be on it and will begin blending the tracks toegther shortly, but a couple choice slots are available. We anticipate the comp will be out by spring, since we want to focus on our bands first and foremost. Our comps aren't Pay to Plays and are professionally done, so we're rather picky on who gets on! So, it takes more than a few days to slap together and push out! ;) Yes, it'll be worth the wait!
Land purchased near Springfield for expansion
Our good friend Springer decided he wanted in on the RCR experience and bought us some acreage out in a town called Rushville, an hour between Peoria and Springfield, complete with the deed in our name! There's a home currently on it, but we don't find it as livable, so that will be coming down and getting a new one, along with a large warehouse for storage and shipping. Eventually, we will be bringing in more industrial equipment, thanks to Springer again, for our own replication and whatnot. Also, we'll be building a nice outdoor stage and clear a few trees for camping, because what good is having all that land and not be able to share it with a few hundred of our closest friends? All this will occur within the next couple of years, so stay tuned for more on that.
More office equipment and full workstation included
For more current action, we dropped a nice chunk of cash on adding more equipment around here. Lori now has very own workstation, complete with color photocopier and laptop, and it's already proven to be very efficient. With all the new merch coming in, it was a no-brainer we needed to upgrade! We can now say, even to an auditor (LOL), we have 1200sq ft of office space, with a tiny bit of sleeping space for ourselves. Hopefully, our accountant will find some ways to get some of this money back for us! LOL!
Thanks for reading, and again, merry merry and happy 2007!
