EULOGY Tracking 'Demo' Drums

March 4, 2008

Founding member/guitarist Jarrett Pritchard of Tampa's now-legendary death metal outfit EULOGY has issued the following update:

"Spent the last month intensely rehearsing with Tony [Laureano, EULOGY/DIMMU BORGIR drummer] and the guys. Good stuff. We tracked some demo drums in the rehearsal space. So we did three songs and the rest of us will complete the tracking while Tony is out with DIMMU and BEHEMOTH. The drums sound great. He is a killer, no doubt about that.

"As some of you know, our frontman and my longtime friend Jason Avery managed to introduce his head to his steering wheel in a late night incident that left him with one of his eyes ripped out of his head. They put it back and did some work on it and he has been doing very well. Never fear that demon ain't dyin anytime soon. Needless to say, we are quite relieved. I suggest everyone go to Platinum Tattoos and get stuck to help him out while he is recovering (Jason is one of the owners)

"Looks like Mike [Pogionne, EULOGY/MONSTROSITY bassist] will be going on tour with MONSTROSITY soon and that should be cool. I have always appreciated MONSTROSITY before, during and after the time that Jason sang with the. Man, I am pretty sure Lee [Harrison, MONSTROSITY drummer] drove EULOGY on our first mini tour with IMMOLATION and GOREPHOBIA. They are longtime friends of ours.

"Rob [Barrett, EULOGY/CANNIBAL CORPSE guitarist] is spending his time bouncing between the very intense CANNIBAL rehearsals and EULOGY rehearsals. Kicking ass all over the place that guy is. The songs really breathe when the two guitars are working the air together. So much harmony and counter rhythm. It's always good to have Barrett around. Such a photographic memory on that guy for learning songs. If you haven't in a while take a listen to that first SOLSTICE record with Rob singing and playing. I have enjoyed the hell out of reviving it and digging some old-school South Florida style lately.

"In the world of Jarrett... Work friggin' drive friggin work drive some more... Well, I am still teaching engineering. Right now I am teaching sound design for film as well as working on a few music recording projects here and there. Took an Icon Mixer exam for yet another Dig certification and killed it. Been playing a ton, getting prepped to do guitars for these three songs I have tracked. Been playing my killer Dean ML Knight prototype. It's a killer instrument. Really wanting to get out there and play! Tour on a decent package and get out and see all of the people who support and have supported my music for all this time. Would really like to play my hometown with a sneer since my metal career has always been met with a smirk from the majority of the cunts from home. (I will get some bitching for that comment, so I will say, of course, not all of you) Seriously though...

"EULOGY has always had a tendency to move on its own accord. It's like something else is in control sometimes and it chooses when where and how as much as we do. That's OK with me. I think it's just one of those things. Someone said they were worried when J got hurt that not only would he be incapacitated but that I would put it down because I am somewhat superstitious about the other worldly involvement in this band. We did conjure this thing. But not fucking likely. I have a level of determination about this thing and we dont funnel. Period. It's going... It's coming... It's already here."

EULOGY's current lineup:

Jarrett Pritchard - Guitar
Jason Avery - Vocals
