Well after a day in a snowstorm trying to get flyers around for a drummer singer and recording engineer, which was unsuccessful, we thought of the idea of having the fans out there try to suggest a name for us. Check the main page for more info or e-mail BASSPLAYERSL@AOL.COM

1-07-02

Well it's the band again. I say the band because we are still undecided of a name. After a long 6months as a new band we are way ahead of schedule, in the studio with 8 songs and will continue to push foward throttles straight ahead. We have lost a singer and a drummer however in the process. IF YOU ARE A SINGER OR A DRUMMER OR A RECORDING ENGINEER GO TO THE CONTACT US PORTION OF THIS PAGE AND CONTACT US.

Well guys, we finally thought of a name, Metal Intake! And now we've got a common goal to go by. Stay tuned for more info and check back often for updates, new info, and feel free to contact any of the band members you wish!

Well though it took a long time before we found a drummer, it was worth every minute of it cuz we have found the best drummer of New York Shaun Mandaloni.

A lot... and I mean A LOT has been going on with the band since our big break-up in February. We've gotten back together but with a whole new line-up. It now consists still the core of the group, Lead Guitarist Mike and Rythm Guitarist / Backup Vocalist Carl and Drummer Mike. But here's the biggie, New Bassist Adem and New Vocalist Muhib have joined the group, not all their info is on the site yet, but you can check out what is there. In the band section there will still be pics of older members up, for you nostalgiac people out there. The date now is July 12 2001, we will be going into the studio to maybe produce a NEW and IMPROVED demo tomorrow, most likely it won't be finished but we are wishful thinkers. Here's another biggie for you people out there, the name has changed, we're no longer Slanted View (sob) but... ABATWAR!! Well that's all the news for now, Abatwar will try to play at a club near you, It will take me (MIKE) some time to update the site to its copmletion as so much has changed. So be patient!!

4-19-01

Slanted View is back! With a new bassist now we're gonna start hitting the studio real soon again. Adem Birson is his name and making sure we thump harder than ever is his game! We're in the process of fiding a new vocalist for our style of music. If you're interested in trying out go to the "contact us" portion of our site and contact us for a tryout time and date. Slanted View hopes to see you soon at a club near you!!

For directions to either of these places you can e-mail any one of us, check the Contact Us page for more info. It is $7 for both shows. Also there is a SLANTED VIEW newsletter right now. If you wish to be added please contact XTheEdGEvX@aol.com with the subject box being SLANTED VIEW NEWSLETTER. The newsletter will be sent out weekly to keep the fans updated, or whenever there will be a show for you to attend. Also, SLANTED VIEW will be going into the recording studio soon, so we will have quality demo's to send out.
