So what has been happening in the mighty world of Diminished Fifth Records? I’ve been on an aggressive rampage for the past few weeks battling a cold, a full-time job, a record label, a band and trying my best to make time for my beautiful lady. Needless to say my general news updates have been sub-par at best. So other than being busier then a US Politician, sacrificing sleep, sanity and health, I must admit things have been going quite well…
I’m very proud to say the ‘Diminished Fifth Records Heavy Music Showcase’ (2008 Halifax Pop Explosion) was not only well received by bands and fans but fantastically executed by all! Most of the show was professionally filmed and we should have some live footage clips available for everyone soon. A Million thanks go out to Waye, Alex and the rest of HPX staff and Volunteers, as well as to the bands, Hellacaust, Gallactus, Orchid’s Curse and Broken Ohms, the ladies from Copy Cat Digital for filming and last but certainly not least, the 200+ fans that came out to bang their heads and help prove just how important and vital the heavier side of the East Coast scene is!

So this week is going to be a hectic week to say the least… I’ll be celebrating my 27th birthday this Thursday and I’ll have to cross my fingers I don’t become ‘great’ this year as we all know what happened to Hendrix, Morrison, Cobain, and Joplin when they were 27... To make this weekend even better, Music Nova Scotia Week is underway and I am quite honored to have two nominations this year: ‘Loud Recording of the Year’ (For our first compilation CD, ‘The Music of Artisanship & War: Vol I’) and also ‘Company of the Year’.
Speaking of ‘The Music of the Artisanship & War’, Volume II is currently available for online orders and will be in stores across the Maritime’s by the end of this month. We will also be releasing the debut full length album ‘To Punish and Enslave’, by Prince Edward Island’s UIGG before the years end. So stay tuned for more details on that and check out UIGG at: www.myspace.com/uigg
Last, but not least we’ve got a few really exciting announcements coming later this month about some new undertakings keep checking back for updates and visit us online at: www.diminishedfifthrecords.com
