KILLWHITNEYDEAD TOUR
Hey everyone.
I am leaving for KWD tour today and will be gone until July 11th. The estore will remain open but please know that shipments may be delayed due to friends helping me keep it open. These friends have day jobs and shipments will be sporadic. However, if you do choose to order from us while we are gone please know that we are more than grateful for your support even with the not so normal speedy processing!
Come see me at an upcoming KILLWHITNEYDEAD show!
TOUR DATES ARE HERE
But once I get back from tour the new releases will begin flowing again. Reissues are the first things on tap with SARGANT FURY (box set), DOMINANCE and SOLITUDE in the pipeline now followed by new releases from LINE OF FIRE and BLATANT DISARRAY.

DOMINANCE REISSUE UNDERWAY
Just when you thought we were excited to release the SOLITUDE discography we have also now begun working on a DOMINANCE collection as well. So I believe the proper term now would be ECSTATIC!
DOMINANCE were an amazing thrash metal band from the Philadelphia area who released two classic demo tapes in 1989 (Dominance) and 1990 (Look Where We Worship).
One listen to their track "Resurrected" (available on 2009 TRIBUNAL RECORDS FREE DIGITAL SAMPLER) and most KILLWHITNEYDEAD fans will see where I may have been influenced for KWD while in high school attending local metal shows in 1989. Just when you thought bands in the 2000's were the first to use sound clips in their music! These guys were the true pioneers doing it all without the use and ease of pro-tools studio equipment.
We have handed over all the songs to engineer Jamie King for digital cleaning and mastering.
Working title for the collection is currently, Resurrected, but that is not final.

SOLITUDE DISCOGRAPHY IN WORKS
I grew up in Delaware until I left to attend college in North Carolina in 1990. So I lived through the DE/PA/NJ region's thrash movement when I was in high school. One of the front runners of the Delaware scene was Wilmington's own SOLITUDE. You may remember them from their contribution to Metal Blade Records' legendary Metal Massacre series in which their classic track "Typhoid Mary" was included on Volume 10.
I recently got in touch with the members and mentioned doing a discography to document how this band inspired me in my formative years, but more importantly to show the fans the importance of SOLITUDE within the legendary 80's thrash movement.
They were very excited to do something and I can now happily say we will be bringing you as much SOLITUDE as we can cram on compact disc. It will contain their one and only album, From Within plus the Sickness, Focus Of Terror and Fall Of Creation demos. We have also rounded up a live bootleg cassette from a Philadelphia performance that is in surprising great shape! We are still going through live video footage to see what kind of shape it's in. We hope to make this a massive retrospective type collection for all the thrash fans out there who remember the glory of this amazing band.
The band's original artist, Steve Cobb, was tracked down as well and is on board to do ALL NEW artwork for this collection.
To say I am excited to begin working on this project is a serious understatement. This is the band that I used to go see on weekend's when I was 17 years old. These are the glory days and I am even more excited that they have plans of playing a reunion show when the collection is released.
You can download the track "Alter The Red" on our latest digital sampler. You can also check out some more tracks HERE

TRIBUNAL RECORDS IS A TWIT
Yes, due to the overwhelming request we are now a "twit" and can be cyber-stalked via the following Twitter page: HERE
Add us and keep up with everything TRIBUNAL RECORDS and KILLWHITNEYDEAD. I doubt I will update it too often so don't worry about getting flooded with updates from me.
PLEASE NOTE: I will NOT be maintaining a KWD twitter page. This one account will cover both as I don't have time to do TWO of them. It's hard enough keeping up with 4 Myspace pages.

DIGITAL DOWNLOADS
We just wanted to let you know that our digital downloads will be disappearing from the various websites for a short while. However, they will be returning shortly. It's all tied into news that will surface eventually, but for reasons right now I cannot discuss details. We thank everyone for their support and understanding.
When I can say something you know I will be here talking my usual amount of sh*t. Believe me, there will be more than plenty of stuff for me to talk sh*t about in the very near future.

CANVAS SOLARIS "Sublimation" REISSUE
It's still one of our most requested releases thanks to their hefty catalog of new material via Sensory Music and since it's been out of print for a few years now we are reissuing CANVAS SOLARIS's Sublimation. It will contain brand new artwork and enhanced live footage from their Tribunal Records Showcase performance back in 2006. Jamie King also remastered the album recently as well.
Watch for more details soon!
