MURDER ONE Vocalist In 'Near-Death' Drama

January 3, 2007

MURDER ONE, the British band featuring vocalists Paul Catten (ex-MEDULLA NOCTE) and John Loughlin (RAGING SPEEDHORN),bassist Jules McBride (ex-PULKAS),guitarists Mark Seddon (ex-MEDULLA NOCTE) and Dan Marshall, and drummer Jamie Airns, has issued the following update:

"The future of MURDER ONE continued to be cursed as vocalist Paul Catten recently ended up on a life-support machine after routine surgery for his appendix went terribly wrong.

"Paul was taken into hospital for suspected appendicitus shortly before Christmas. After 24 hours observation, it was decided to carry out the normally routine surgery on the Sunday morning. At 12:30 p.m. on the Sunday, Paul was given a full anaesthetic and immediately suffered a severe allergic reaction, which resulted in a cardiac arrest. Once resuscitated and his condition stabilized, the appendix was removed and Paul was put into a drug-induced coma for 24 hours and kept on a life-support machine for the duration. He eventually woke at 9:30 p.m. on the Monday. He remained in hospital for several days as to recover from both trauma and surgery. He is now fully recovered, though still shaken and currently looking forward to the band's tour with TEXTURES in late February."

MURDER ONE released its debut album, "Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid", in Europe on June 5, 2006 via Grind That Axe Records (the U.K. label formed by former Kerrang! magazine writers/A&R executives Dante Bonutto and Derek Oliver). The CD was issued in Japan in July 2006 via the JVC/Victor Entertainment label. The Japanese version of the CD includes two bonus tracks from the band's EP: "Filthy Excuse of a Man" and "Answer to Everyone".
