SHODAN

Greetings from the grave. Even though we truly despise throwback spam posts we need to do it once, as this is special. The records that started it all "Protocol of Dying" turns 10 today.

Born out of wandering, countless failures and relentless passion this record was never meant to be polished- only to exist. What started as a struggle between incompetence and obsession slowly took shape through contributions of those who were willing to waste their appreciated time on it. Artwork, long lasting recording sessions, edits and samples, borrowed gear, even the video clip for driving single.. nasty fragments stitched together with dedication of the band and its comrades into something that somehow survived. It shouldn’t have worked. But it did. And for a long time after, it became the point of reference, something we kept coming back to when working on everything else. Easily, the most important work we've ever done. It’s still out there. Listen if you want and back up the good guys who trusted the Protocol back then Deformeathing Production Defense Records.

This world means nothing.
