Ascendancy has broken up[views:9443][posts:58]______________________________ [Apr 23,2005 8:36pm - BSV ""] On behalf of Terence and Seth, we'd like to thank everyone for turning out and buying some tickets to the Cryptopsy show last night, because it was our last set ever. There's really no one single cause to why this happened, more or less several different factors, we came to the decision on Thursday night that Cryptopsy will be the last show. Seth most likely will be doing Hekseri. Not sure if Terence will pursue anything in the immediate future. I myself am looking for another full time band since Abhorred doesn't want to tour or play local shows anymore. This decision was made for the better. It's a relief that's over, it felt things were terminally doomed for a bit, I'm just happy that we could walk away with no bad intentions or hard feelings. Thanks to everyone who has supported Ascendancy throughout the past 5 years. It means alot to us and you will not be forgotten. I hope ya'll hate me for this, "Battle hymns did sound the call You came to our side You heard true metal into glory ride You stood beside us the false ones Cried Your love is judgment. You gave us life You wait in the rain-you walk Through the snow. We give you Our blood. We want you to know In our eyes you immortal In our hearts you'll live forever In our eyes you immortal In our hearts you'll live forever" - Manowar |

I am really happy that I got to play with you guys as often as I did while you were still around. 1st Ascendancy now Abhorred doesn't want to tour OR play local shows anymore? What shows will they play then? |
| ______________________________ [Apr 23,2005 8:49pm - nate ""] BSV you've got mail |

| ______________________________ [Apr 23,2005 8:55pm - BSV ""] Abhorred doesn't want to spend money to tour, they would like to play with more national bands locally, please make up another thread about this please if it hurts your feelings alot. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 23,2005 8:55pm - KeithMutiny ""] Im glad i got to se the last show, even though that sucks, good luck guys. |

It's expensive but it's all a matter of paying dues so that a band can move on from playing local shows only with other locals to playing local shows with nationals to becoming a national themselves. |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 23,2005 9:19pm - blue nli ""] daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. sorry to see you guys go. good luck to everyone in their endeavors. ascendancy will go down in the local metal books as legends. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 23,2005 9:45pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""] Damn, did I guess it in the other thread or what?! I was kinda kidding, wow. Maybe Seth will join TERATISM if Nel leaves. |

| ___________________________________ [Apr 24,2005 2:28pm - dyingmuse ""] rip \m/ |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 24,2005 2:31pm - Strep_Cunt ""] I tried my hardest to make it up to Manchester, but no one wanted to go/didn't have the cash. This is one of those times where not having a vehicle really pains me. I'm sorry I wasn't able to make your last show. Terence, Seth, and Jawsh -- you guys were excellent and I only saw it getting better. This is very unfortunate. I'm glad though, to have been able to play with you guys and see you tons of times. |
| ________________________________________________ [Apr 24,2005 2:42pm - mark fucking richards ""] faaaahkkkkk! there goes another awesome massachusetts band. good luck to everyone with their future projects. |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 24,2005 2:48pm - pessimist ""] josh got a little carried away/misunderstood what we were talking about. we will definantly be playing more local shows. we already have a bunch lined up. we just won't be playing every weekend like we used to. less shows = more time to write new songs... |
| _______________________________________________ [Apr 24,2005 2:52pm - dneirflrigruoydeliani ""] wow this is shitty news, best of luck with future endevours |

| ______________________________________________ [Apr 24,2005 4:41pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] Damnit, they should have let you guys play longer at the Bombshelter. That was my first time seeing Ascendancy and I was fucking blown away. |
| _________________________________ [Apr 24,2005 5:22pm - damnose ""] I only got to see you guys once, but it was awesome. hails! [img] |
| __________________________________________ [Apr 24,2005 5:58pm - Todd_Bombshelter ""] Man I remember seein Ascendancy as a 2 piece ,just Terence and Seth,And thinking at the time, If only they had a full band this would be sick!,You all are one of the nicest bands I have ever met,And I wish you all luck in the future,And I am so glad I could help make your last show a memorable one . |
| ________________________________________________ [Apr 24,2005 5:59pm - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] also not 100% sure on this but i just found it weird that i heard it in the same weekend, a lil bird told me that As Long As Were All Living, We're All Dying is no more too. weird what's happening around here. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 24,2005 8:25pm - litacore ""] I'm pretty bummin', myself. As one of Hekseri, I'd rather not start flappin' my lips on here. However anyone who knows me knows what I think of Ascendancy. HOWEVER, for those who DO NOT: Ascendancy, for me, are like Nile, Slayer, and Brodequin rolled into one entity. A maelstrom, a fit of brutality laced with technicality (without being too wonky with scales and overdone pinch harmonic gayness), a reason to have faith in the health of Massachusetts Metal. Yeah right, Larissa. You missed their last show. Regrettably, yes. But paganmegan told me it slayed, as usual. GODDAMNIT, I'M GONNA GET DRUNK NOW AND RAISE MY GLASS IN PRAISE of one of Boston's best metal bands since fuckin' Wargasm. |

| ___________________________________ [Apr 24,2005 9:56pm - Dissector ""] That blows. But did you say Abhorred doesnt want to tour or play local shows? |

| _____________________________________ [Apr 24,2005 10:00pm - RichHorror ""] To repeat what the people involved said and also told me in e-mail... they're just not playing as much to concentrate on writing stuff. Abhorred WILl be on our show on June 10th. Yeah! |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 24,2005 10:04pm - Dissector ""] Oh ok, sorry if that was already said this thread was too long for me to read so I jsut read the main post. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 24,2005 10:05pm - lady_czerach ""] Good luck to you guys. Ascendancy was always one of my favorites. \m/ |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 24,2005 10:06pm - Dissector ""] I hope Terrance does something he's super fast. Good luck to you too Josh, hope you find another full time band. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 24,2005 10:17pm - RichHorror ""] I doubt it'll take either of those folks long at all to find something else. |
| ________________________________ [Apr 25,2005 1:02am - xmikex ""] Asecendancy ruled. Terrence should start another band with Ross, and have it themed around the Garfield Halloween Special. |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 25,2005 2:47am - DreamingInExile ""] Best of luck to you all in the future, I hope to see some really good things from all of you in the future. RIP |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 25,2005 8:28am - Josh_Martin ""] June 19th at the Middle East: Ravage Adolf Satan Abhorred Hirudinea Abhorred last local show ever???? |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 25,2005 8:52am - Joe/NotCommon ""] It's good to see all the people who never came out to see Ascendancy acting all broken up about this. I couldn't make the last show cuz I was down in Philly, but Terence promised me a bedtime solo performance one of these coming hot summer nights. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 25,2005 9:07am - Josh_Martin ""] Ascendancy were cool dudes. We played with them once and half my band got lost on the way to the show and Ascendancy switched set times with us to give the Einstein twins time to get there. Thanks dudes. Rock on. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 25,2005 10:00am - shatteredliz ""] Man, sorry to hear this guys. Good luck with whatever you do! |
| ___________________________________________ [Apr 25,2005 10:52am - largefreakatzero ""] It's been good playing with you guys. Sick set on Friday night. Give us a shout when your new projects are ready to go and we'll set something up. |
| __________________________________________ [Apr 26,2005 2:48am - BestialOnslaught ""] They were definitely getting better, too bad. Their set at PA's Lounge was pretty good. Joe and I will set up a kissing booth to raise money to put ABHORRED on the road. Line up, ladies! |
