11/09/06 - I've started to add the reviews that were featured in issue 3. I haven't decided if I'm going to add them all yet - Watch this space and/or make sure you read the PDF version!. Ragebreed Promotions are going to sponsor the paper issues as of Issue #004. Here is an update on the paper issues which has been posted on MySpace (and other places): "ARSE!" News I recently decided that "ARSE" would be released monthly as of January 2007. However, since I made that decision (last week!) I have changed my mind... The feedback and interest received regarding Issue 3 has been fantastic! I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who have commented on it so far. I appreciate it a lot and it makes it all worthwhile. I would also like to thank the bands who have contributed and also my contacts at AFM and Mutilated Records - you have been awesome! I apologise if this message seems a little soppy - I just wanted to thank those that have made "ARSE!" possible... anyway, onwards and upwards... As I mentioned earlier, I had planned to make "ARSE!" monthly as of January next year. I have since decided to bring the next issue out at the beginning of October (rather than November). With that said, the issues for the near future will not be as regular as clockwork, so here's the plan so far... First Week Of October - Issue 4 will be released. The content is pretty much sorted for this, but if you have a review you would like to add then please get it to me as soon as possible. Also, if you're in a band/promotions company/something else and you have news or an advert which relevant for the month October, then please get them to me as soon as possible. The absolute deadline for this is 2nd October. First Week Of November - Issue 5 will be released. I'm currently looking for bands to interview, CDs to review and gigs to review - if you know of any then please let me know! As always contributions are welcome! Again, if you have an advert/news can you please get it to me by the 2nd November. First Week Of December - Issue 6 will be released. First Week Of January - There will be no issue. This is due to the fact that Christmas and New Years will have stolen all my money (so I wouldn't have been able to purchase CDs/gig tickets) and I'll probably be intoxicated so the chances of me remembering a gig are pretty slim.... Also, it's my birthday. First Week Of February - Issue 7 will be released. Sponsored As many of you already know, Ragebreed are now sponsoring "ARSE!" - Thanks! Distributing "ARSE!" If you know of somewhere where I can distribute "ARSE!", please contact me! Thanks, Lou 30/08/06 - Issue #003 is finished and has started circulating around various places. If you are in England and you would like a paper copy, please contact me by using the email address at the side of the page. There is alsos a PDF version available (link). I'll be adding the reviews and interviews that we featured in this issue to the site over the coming weeks. 09/08/06 - Most of the pages now should all follow the same (new) style. There are still a few hidden pages that need work on, but I'll do those as and when I need to. Please be aware that some of the old links (within reviews etc) may not work. If you find one, please can you let me asap - thanks :-) 07/08/06 - I've been extremely busy recently and I've started to re-do the site. Hopefully the CD Reviews are now easier to find and look through and I've also implemented a new ratings system. I'm in the process of updating the rest of the site so it all looks MILES better. As far as new stuff goes, I've just added a review of the new Deicide album (link) written by Kreator666. 21/07/06 - Ok, it's been ages since I've written anything on this page...
