Well, it’s been a little while hasn’t it friends…

Shall I start by saying that I’m sorry. Sorry for the long silence, though it is said that absence makes the heart grow fonder, so I hope we at least have that on our side?

Let me tell you a little about what has been going on here at HDE HQ since we last spoke…

The Line Up
The band line up is now complete, and we are neck deep into rehearsals that will see us fit to play live in front of any of you who are good enough to come along to a show some time this summer.

You can expect to see both Tim (drums) & Steve’s (bass) beautiful faces join the rest of us in the bio section in the coming days!

The EP
I once believed that it was important to get the EP out as soon as we possibly could, and in the process of rushing, I lost sight of why I was even doing this in the first place. Making music with HDE is truly the best experience I have ever had in my life, and I quite soon realised that I should enjoy every second of it, not wish it away. The result of which means that the EP will be ready in due course, and will sound a lot better for it.

The Future
Right now, it has to be said, the future looks very bright, or should I say, dark for us! Over the coming months, you shall see the birth of the HDE live experience, an EP, and hopeful see life come flooding back into our dust covered corner of the internet, The HDE forums

Until we speak again,

Will HDE <3

It’s quiet round these parts, but fear not! Behind the scenes, work continues unabated!

The EP is fast approaching completion, and we are still aiming to get that out to you before 2012 arrives! It’s currently all being remastered by our very own Maddox, and if you liked the demos before, wait until you hear them now!

Whilst Maddox is working hard to get the rest of the tracks polished, the rest of HDE have turned their attention to the future, and are busying themselves recording a load of new material to get us in shape for album number one! Exciting times no?

With no less than 7 completely new songs currently in various stages of production, it really is no word of a lie when we say HDE are firing on all cylinders! We just hope that when you finally get to hear this stuff, you like it as much as we do!

Lastly, a few of the guys have set up individual pages on Facebook. The idea behind this was so that their private pages did not become over run.

If you would like to talk to Will, please head to Facebook.com/WillHDE. Or, if it’s Superhans you’re after, it’s – Facebook.com/superhansHDE

Good evening dark ones.

Today Will & Superhans found themselves with nothing but time & a guitar on their hands.

It seems that with the winter drawing back in and the darkness creeping in ever earlier, what ensued was rather fitting.

The result is a live and completely unaltered acoustic recording of December.

The song is currently only available on the HDE Facebook page – LINK

What do you think of it?

Why not let the guys know what you make of it on their wall.

Look out for more new recordings surfacing over the coming months.

So, it may seem like this in the HDE HQ had quietened down somewhat in the last few weeks, but fear not!

We have been slaving away on some brand new ideas for songs that we think are going to be our best to date!

We are really excited to share with you the fruits of our labour, and hopefully, that time will come soon enough!

Greetings once again.

This is just a quick update to let everyone know that we have uploaded the new mix of Flatline to the music page.

The new mix was done to celebrate HDE being joined by two more dark souls, Superhans & Maddox.

The new mix was all done by Maddox and it sounds pretty tight!
