Backyard Burial would like to apologise to fans for not updating the website sooner. As a lot of people would realise, there is a lot of news to report.

Firstly, we would like to say farewell to Wombflooder who has departed New Zealand for the warmer climate and cheaper medicines of Australia. Wombflooder has been a dedicated and inspirational part of Backyard Burial for the last three years and we wish him well.

He has been replaced by new axe-wielder Joe, formerly of the Wellington band Scoria and Napier band Corpsefeast. Joe has made good progress with learning the songs and performed well in his debut gig at Valve Bar supporting Odius Embowel.

The eagerly anticipated debut album is nearing completion. The tracklisting is (in order):

   1. Alternate Realities
   2. Lunatic Ruling Asylum
   3. Catharsis Through Savagery
   4. Mental infection
   5. Death To Narks
   6. Product Of A Sick Society
   7. The Abyss Of Insanity
   8. Covered In Pigs Blood
   9. Last Of The Ruthless Cunts
   10. Unethical Transfer of RNA

All tracks have been recorded and Backyard Burial would like to say a big thanks to former guitarist Nathan for his effort, time, patience and expertise in completing this stage.

At present Jason (Blood Duster) is bringing his talents to mixing and mastering the album and the indications so far are that he is doing a very good job.

Fans should expect the new album to be released sometime early next year.

In other news there are some teeshirts available. Check out the merch page for these new screen printed designs. A big thanks to Brendan Nightmare for helping us out with that. For inquiries into buying merch please email backyardburial@hotmail.com.

Finally, negotiations are underway for a split recording with Christchurch sicko's Vixen Execution. More updates on this coming in the near future.

The artwork for the upcoming Backyard Burial album has been completed. The artist and local legend and guru Ymre Molnar has completed an outstanding psychedelic vision depicting insanity at the gates of the abyss specifically for the album. This fits well with the lyrical themes entwined throughout the songs and sums up the sickness and depravity that is an essential component of any brutal death metal recording. Hails!!!

The sicko's in Backyard Burial are pleased to announce the commencement of the recording for their debut album.

Over the three days from 25th-27th April the Woburn Fondler (formally known as Human Hating War Machine) put in a marathon effort of precise hammering perversion to lay down fourteen drum tracks in the secret confines of Black Note recording space. Matt Faislander was on hand to capture the sounds of extreme psychopathological slamming brutality and will be recording bass tracks very soon.

The album is to have thirteen previously unrecorded tracks plus a re-recording of the 2007 single track 'A Promising Young Law Student'. More details coming very soon.

Backyard Burial are pleased to announce the imminent release of a split cd with Aucklander's Malevolence. The official date of release is March 7, to be celebrated at Milonga Bar in Napier with a show the following night at Valve Bar in Wellington, and a further show in Auckland on 15 March at Oblivion Bar. The new CD which features 5 tracks from each band will be available at all shows, as will be other merchandise.

After these official release shows, the CD will be available to order online. More detail on the recording coming very soon!

Backyard Burial are currently in negotiations with Malevolence (Ak) with regards to doing a split CD. At this stage nothing is finalised but the proposed format is 5 songs from each band including a live track. Stay tuned for more details.

After writing a lot of new material recently, Backyard is looking forward to performing a set of entirely new material at tomorrow night's gig supporting Bloodduster (Melb) @ Valve Bar, 154 Vivian Street.. They will be playing a brand new song live for the first time, entitled 'Lunatic Ruling Asylum', the lyrical content is derived from the mental programming of Goths to do what they do best... killing themselves.

Having put on a less than satisfactory performance at Audience with a Devil in Auckland recently, Backyard spent a night drowning their sorrows in a bunch of flax bushes in Otahuhu before making the painful journey back to Wellington. After a consolidationary jam at Seaview Sewage Plant the band made a promise to abstain from jacking off before embarking on an intensive month of gigging and grooming in June. Fans can expect a more aggressive performance and an unprecedented level of sickness in upcoming gigs. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

This weekend at Zeal in Wellington, Backyard Burial are the main support act for 8 Foot Sativa, also supported by Morte Vida & Dead Stoned Babies. It's an all ages show so come early, around 7pm.

This is also our first gig with George on bass. We're looking forward to a great show.

After a less than intensive search, Backyard Burial have made a new addition to the lineup with George 'Vile Gorge' Prowse stepping in on bass. We had the first jam last night and went over a few of the old songs, and we were all greatly impressed with what we heard.

Looking forward to 2007 and another year of grind, and things have never looked more promising than with the current lineup and catalogue of new material we're producing, so keep an eye out for any of our future gigs because the brutality just stepped up a notch.

Backyard Burial have recently parted ways with bass player Akhmedicated. We are currently seeking a new bass player, if you're interested email backyardburial@hotmail.com. We'd also like to thank Akmed Headless for his dedication and perserverance over the last couple of years. Hails.

MP3s are ready for you to download! You can get them by going to the Media page. Also there you can download the latest BB song, recently recorded for the 'AK Underground Fest' CD. Lyrics are coming to the Media page soon aswell!

The new BB Gallery is finished! You can see it by going to the Media page. If any of you have pics, feel free to send them in. Additionally, the Discography page has been updated to show 3/4 compilations BB has been on so far... The most recent Compilation was the 'AK Underground Fest' CD, the info for which will be up soon. HAIL!

Hails to young and old that attended Backyard Burial's first show at a Christian venue. Considering the turnout (around 200) some people must have taken photos or vids. If you've got them then send them in to here. The new gallery is coming shortly...

The gallery is now online. It currently only has Gig Posters, but as you'll see there is a fair bit to look through, as it ranges from 1999 to current. There's also now a poster up for the upcoming gig on September 9th, so check that out on the GIGS page. Finally, the header image has been replaced with a new one, showing every member of the band. Hail!

We have recently recorded the new song "A Promising Young Law Student' for the Auck Underground Fest Compilation.
