October 31, 2004 Discordance Axis "Our Last Day" CD
Here's the complete track listing:
Looking over the above list two things become quickly apparent. First, War Chalking will no longer have a song on this CD. In over 2 years, War Chalking has been unable to get together and record even 1 track. At this point, I regard the project as on indefinite hold. Next, the only band on here not doing a D.A. tune is GridLink. GridLink is a new grind band with myself on vocals, Matsubara(Mortalized) on guitars, Terada(Melt Banana) on drums and a fella named Okada on bass. We are currently working on a 10 song CD for Hydrahead due to be recorded in late 2005. We'll be releasing more on this shortly. Keep your eyes on the Studio Grey homepage for more info soon.
May 7, 2004 War Chalking recording delayed
March 28, 2004 War Chalking and the covers/remix CD
April 25, 2003 Reissues, new CD and War Chalking
That's not all though. At the end of 2003, early 2004 we will release one last DA CD that includes the Merzbow remix of TID, the cover we did of the Sega Bass Fishing song, several midi/electornic covers of our songs by Reason guru John Dreisbach, covers of several DA songs by some of our favorite bands(we'll list them when we get confirmation of everyone who's going to be in on the CD) and lastly a new song by War Chalking, our new band. A few months ago news slipped out that we were doing a new band. The band is called War Chalking and the line-up is: Jon Chang(vocals), Dave Witte(drums), Steve Procopio(Guitar) and Ted Patterson(Bass). So that's two parts Discordance Axis, three parts Human Remains, a dash of Burnt by the Sun and you have War Chalking. The sound is still no-break twitch screaming grindcore, but the music is a lot different. Hard to explain actually. It should be interesting ^_^
November 24, 2002 Sold Out Again
Croy Sidor of Seattle, Washington please email me. Your copy of the Discordance Axis DVD has been returned to me as "Unknown Addressee". October 23, 2002 Ooops, DVDs back in stock! I just found 2 more cases of DVDs(60 copies)...they were stacked in the wrong place in my apartment, so I had no idea I even had them....
October 20, 2002 DVDs notes!
A few notes...People have written asking how access the mp3s on the DVD. Insert your DVD into a computer and view the contents in a window. You should see a directory called "DA MP3s". This contains mp3 versions of every track from the first two cds as well as the Sega Bass Fishing cover! Also it seems that some DVD players have difficulty navigating some of the menus...here are work arounds we discovered for the problems: In the photo gallery if your player only loops the first two images use the the "play" button to advance to the next frame instead of the "right" directional button. In the tablature and discography menu it is sometimes necessary to press the "right" directional button twice rather than once to advance to the next screen. These problems have occured in only 2-3 instances so far and I have been able to reproduce the bug on my oldest DVD player but none of my newer ones (PS2 and the player inside of my Mac). Also, apologies for any unanswered e-mail, our mail server is down at the moment :(
October 14, 2002 DVDs are here!
The DVDs are finally about ready to go. We just signed off on the covers and approved the final master. We expect to receive delivery between October 7-10 and guess what? We're taking orders ^o^
In the USA send a $17(Canada $19, Europe $23 and Asia $25) to:
We are accepting US Postal Money Orders, international Postal Money Orders and Cash. As a bonus I discovered a cache of misprinted DA "pikachu" shirts from our record release show in 2000. I will include 1 free with every copy ordered till I run out! (backstory: the first lot of shirts we received were missing one of the golds designed into the shirt. We rejected the entire run and they were made anew for the show. These last shirts--like 10-- are all that remains of the misprints...) You will receive a DVD as soon as we get them(and they all come here first ^_^) shipped priority mail to your doorstep. Just to remind you, the DVD contains:
August 9, 2002 DVD NEWS!
Last week we spoke with Wicked Witch again to find out what was going on with the money and it is finally in place, however a new problem has reared its head. Distro. WW, being a Euro label, is having problems securing distro in the US and is currently trying to get things squared away since there is no place to cache overstock here. What this means ultimately is more delays. I know that's not what anyone wants to hear. I'm extremely sorry for all this mess and I apologize to all of you for having to endure it. (This is actually the first time we've missed a ship date for a project of ours in 10 years and it's frustrating for us as well) If things cannot be straightened up very soon, Hydrahead has committed to releasing the DVD in the US in Winter 2002 so it should be out no later than December 2002. The packaging is done, the DVD is done and we are ready to go...I will update soon. With all this bad news comes some good news...Hydrahead has acquired the rights to the original two DA CDs and will be releasing them in Summer 2003 complete with new packaging, lyric inserts, etc. so no more copies of OSV on Ebay for $100. Additionally Hydrahead will be releasing a double 3" CD "very soon" with the Merzbow remix of TID on disc 1, followed by the release of Sega Bass Fishing, a remix of our song Ikaruga and 8-9 MIDI covers of our songs (submitted by a fan from Philly) on disc 2. The MIDI DA songs are a treat. Imagine Sega Genesis quality sound files with grind....pretty insane ^_^

The lyrics to Jouhou are now online, with some extra trivia about each song. I'll be getting the entire archive online in the next week or so, hopefully. This is part of our effort to allow people to have continued access to our music without the need to get killed on Ebay prices.

In other news due to the unending stream of requests...we're doing one last shirt. It seems quite a few people never got a D.A. shirt and would like one. The new design is an image from the Ikaruga video and will cost $11 post paid in the USA. It is a full color design and can be viewed here. It will be preorder only. E-mail D.A. to sign up. July 28, 2001We've been broken up for a while now yet the mail keeps coming! ^_^ The D.A. DVD is almost complete. We are still putting the final touches on some of the extras which will include:
Hydrahead may be doing a run of new D.A. tshirts. But then again... ^o^ May 5, 2001We're back and we're out of shirts. 8 days till the end.

Steve Procopio(ex-human remains) has been practicing with us for several weeks now getting all the songs down and will be joining us in Japan as well as one last US gig on Sunday May 13 at CBGB in NYC. It will be a matinee show with D.A. going on around 8-9 PM. After that the decision was made not to carry on without Rob so we're basically done with after that. We'ld like to take a moment to thank everyone who's helped us out over the years by doing distro, releasing records, booking shows etc. (too many to name here) and although we'll try to make sure the CDs stay in print, we probably will cease and desist other merch efforts such as shirts. For those of you who never got to see us we are still planning on releasing a DVD on Wicked Witch Records later this year that will have a live D.A. set on it. Thanks for listening.

Some people have enquired about the D.A. "Reincarnation" CDs that show up online every so often. This CD is one of the 2nd run of "Jouhou" CDs which had the covers incorrectly folded by the mfg. Other than the mistake on the covers these are identical to the standard version Jouhou CDs. For all interested here's our discography/story...
February 26, 2001
T-shirts orders are closed. In case you're curious here's the designs we created for the Japan tour...we may have a few extras after the tour.
D.A. will be entering the studio on March 3 to record 2 new pieces for a split CD with Corrupted and 324. The new tracks are called Ikaruga and Berserk. Also a bit of expansion on why we cancelled our US shows. Aside from being very strapped for time there were two other reasons we cancelled the shows. As a general rule we don't like to play out or practice old material alot as it is very draining and we tend to lose some of our enthusiasm and energy if we play too many shows in a row. It's also one of the reasons we've never toured the USA. Odds are we will not be doing another performance until next year or whenever we get to work on our new record. We will also be looking to do a much different live show incorporating artworks and design to a space before we go in and play it. Think Peking Opera meets Blade Runner meets Radiant Silvergun and you might be getting warm. Japan tour dates.
Since it's become a fan favorite here's the latest top 10.
