Back in the mid - late 00's it felt like they were the support on every second show that came to Dublin. They played all over the country from what I remember. I use to enjoy them live but back then I never owned physical copies of anything. They seem to have become popular again mostly due to the Justin interviews / him constantly going on about how great they are.
I started listening to them again when Hells announced a few years ago that they would be doing Gore and Perversion on vinyl. The material is so much better than I remembered and I also like some of the later stuff that I didn't even know existed. Murder in Mind which is also being reissued at some stage this year is currently my favourite release. Any other fans on here? It would be nice to see them live nowadays actually knowing the material. According to the setlist site they last played here in Fibbers in Feb 2015. Was anyone on here at that show?
I'm a huge fan but the opposite of you- they were here seemingly every week yet bizarrely I never got to see them. Murder in Mind and Process of Decay were my favourites.
The last one was garbage though, Cemetery Sickness - can hardly remember a thing about it.
Where did you read about the reissues etc they'd been very quiet on the socials these past few years.
I have Murder in Mind and Inhuman on CD somewhere but probably haven't listened to them in over 20 years. Wouldn't say I was a fan, I remember them being ok, but they are probably long overdue a revisit. Didn't realise they had released as many albums, I honestly thought they had only had done three or four.
Ollie did a second interview with Justin that went up this morning were he discusses the reissues. They also did another interview on the channel about a year ago.

Hells are doing Murder In Mind, Pathway to Deviance and Inhuman on vinyl, CD etc. which I think are currently at press and they also want to do a vinyl version of Gore and Perversion 2. I have the G & P LP its really well done and sounds great. They even included a censor insert that you can put over the cover like the one that came with the original CD which was a nice touch.
Thanks for that - watched the video there - looking forward to getting those reissues.
One of the first DM bands i ever saw live when they played Cork in the mid 90s!.They played Cork again in 2000, A few of us ended up going on the lash with them.
Ollie had some mad stories; they had just done a tour in the states with Deicide.
Someone asked him what was Benton like?
'He fucking nice as pie' (in a thick Welsh accent!)😅
I saw them with Abaddon Incarnate and possibly Putrefy in 2000 I think. I had the tshirt from the gig for a long time until it disintegrated. I never listened to them after that so maybe I'll give them a spin this evening.

Probably the time I saw them, with (I think) Bereaved and Abhor. Snare put it on. A minibusload of us went down, a long day it was.
Massive fan here! I'm really looking forward to those reissued albums. They are long over due the vinyl treatment. I remember supporting them in Carlow of all places around 2005 I think. That was mad craic. Anyone else remember that? Dave from Ground Of Ruin at the time put that together.

Morphosis and Abhor ,was a great day out!
I never knew they played in Carlow or that they were here pre 2000. Didn't they play in that Nerve Centre place in Derry at one stage as well? I would say the only regular place they haven't played is Limerick as back then shows were always in Cork instead.

Good turn out for the 2015 show? Make sure you get the Gore and Perversion LP before it sells out.
Mad that Ollie was an actual Mortician.
Played in Monaghan too next door to my flat. The mad men.

No idea, lost in the fogs of time. MowerLiberationFront on here will probably know. They came up to my gaff afterwards but there were a lot of post-pub people there and they wanted to sleep so they went back out to their van.
They played Cyprus Avenue last time in Cork with a bunch of Irish bands.
The Obscene Machine was one. Remember because it was one of Willy Taylor's last shows before he passed.
Show was hilarious!
Funny as fuck banter between songs.
Yeah Ollie is a gas cunt!

Jesus that's a while ago now! Yeah I remember having them over for a few gigs, I'm having a hard time remembering the details though, was it Desecration, Crucifracture, Ground of Ruin, and maybe Morphosis on the bill?
Such a good live band, really tight!
Actually, you had them over more than once. The one you're thinking was them, Morphosis and Ground Of Ruin. The one we played was like an all day event. Putrefy, cold war, Atrax Mantis, Cruicifracture, Old Season etc. That was a fun day, decent crowd at it.
