It was fun for awhile.


Hey all,

Thanks to everyone for your support of the band, but it is no more. Our latest round of members have gone home and I think I've had enough. I've been doing this for 3 years now and I'm tired of trying to beg people to tour Europe with me, so I'm going to focus on my other forms of art that don't require commitment from other human beings. Any music I play in the future will most likely be with synthesizers and drum machines until I can figure out how to make robots. I'm going to start taking writing a little more seriously as well as making more metal sculptures under the Good Godfrey's House of Conception banner. Both of which will be posted on my personal page, so feel free to add me if you like. I do have one more album worth of sloth material in me, and I'd like to record it if possible, but I need to find a label willing to give me a few thousand bucks to record it first. I guess that's about it. Thanks to everyone who made this band possible, and maybe I'll see you around.

One last time.


Hello,

I don't have time to respond to all the questions I've received on here in the last few days as I only get a few minutes of internet daily at the local library, so here's the deal. I'm not looking for any new band members, or looking to join any other bands. I lost about $3000 dollars on this tour and since I quit my job before I came here, I'm going to have a hard time paying the credit card back. I can't afford to buy plane tickets for my wife and I to get back home, let alone get her a green card, so I'm selling my Matamp 140 GTO for £700 and Gibson Voodoo SG for £450. If you are serious about buying either one, send a message to my personal page. I want to get this shitty chapter of my life behind me so I won't be checking this page any longer. Any messages or friend requests received here from now on will go unanswered. Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoyed the Abominable Iron Sloth.

It's kinda sad that it ended in such a bad way...

i'm glad i got to see them a couple of times before it was all over.

[Martin]

Man, that's hard.
Pity he gave up. If I wasn't broke myself I'd be attending one of the shows in the UK.

[sparrowfrog]

oh yea...my plans to fly you over in a private helicopter didn't quite work out....sorry man...

[Martin]

Hahah no worries, can't have it all I suppose.

[sparrowfrog]

and the saga continues......

The Abominable Iron Sloth needs your help. I want to record a second album with new songs I've written, and it will be titled "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Heaviness." I don't have the money to fund it myself, and I don't want to get involved with any more labels, so I have this idea. I'm asking for people to preorder the album now, so I can get the capital to record and make it a reality. I can record a full length album, pay for the artwork, and make 1000 copies for between $3000 and $4000. Everyone who donates at least $20 (or $25 for people with addresses outside the US) will get one of the first copies mailed to them when I have it finished in 2007. If you help make this cd possible, I will put your name in the cd booklet, thanking you for your service to humanity. If you want me to use your picture and have it drawn into the comic book as a human who is horrifically killed by the iron sloth, donate a bit more. I will only have to presell 150-200 cd's to make this happen, so please, don't live the rest of your life wondering just what if? If I don't sell quite that many, I will still record the album, but it will take me a few more months to raise the money through working means. You can preorderdonate one right here through paypal, with a credit card or checking account. Then, email me at [e-mail] with your name and address, and picture if applicable. History will thank you. This album will be gross.

i'm actually pretty tempted to do this

I sent Justin $40, hes a good guy - wish I had enough to send more but I gotta get this label off the ground.

[Alex Herron]

That sounds like some fishy fucking story. I wouldnt send my money not that i have any.

Im sure lots of bands would like the fans to pay for a recording and cd designs etc before its even made. But fuck that, what if he makes some piece of shit album ?

I like the sloth but they arnt that good.

Anyone got any ideas when in gods name WHVNs new lp is coming out ?

[mattrsj]

Not soon enough!! Jeff doesn't update enough...

[Chief]

Maybe March or April 07 if all goes right, but you never know.

[mattrsj]

Like I said - not soon enough!!

[Martin]

Think I'm gonna do this to...just have to check my own bankaccount, see if there's enough to do this.
