Und die Spli-up Serie geht weiter. Brain Drill haben sich getrennt. Hier die offzielle Message von deren MySpace Page:

Dylan Ruskin schrieb BRAIN DRILL HAS BROKEN UP, HERE IS WHY... SO BEFORE ALL OF YOU GET PISSED I NEED YOU ALL TO CLEARLY READ THIS AND I ( DYLAN) HOPE EVERYONE CAN UNDERSTAND WHERE I’M COMING FROM. 3 of the 4 members of brain drill being steve, marco and jeff all have huge weed smoking habbits if you hadn’t already noticed. I dylan do not and couln’t be more aggainst smoking weed i don’t have a problem if you do it but just be smart about it. Before we left for this tour with the black dahlia murder and animosity I told them a million times not to bring weed, pipes or papers with them in the van because we are literally driving across the country and the last thing we need is to get pulled over and arrested for posession of marijuana. The laws in california are nothing compared to the laws in other states. And of course they don’t listen to a word i say and go ahead and bring pipes weed, papers and jeff even brought an ounce of mushrooms. Sure enough we get pulled over rite outside of salt lake city utah. Emediatley after the 3 of them had just smoked a blunt. So needless to say the car completely smelled like weed. So the cop comes up to the window and the first thing he says is " i smell pot", so sure enough they take us out of the car and they completely search the entire van. They tear everyhting apart and even use a k-9 dog to sniff out everything. Sure enough they find all of marco steve and jeffs weed, they find 6 pipes and they even find jeffs ounce of mushrooms. At that point i was convinced that we were going to jail but for whatever reason they let us go. After we pulled away i (dylan) told them " from now on the rule of the band is to not ever bring weed pipes or other illegal drugs into the van and also not to smoke inside the van" jeffs response was " i don’t think thats gonna happen bro" so sure enough they neglected to listen to me and the next day there was more weed pipes and smoking accessories in the van. So we then get pulled over another 4 times before we make it to our first show. Miracualously we didn’t get searched again. SO we play the tour with bdm and we had an awesome time. Our last show was supposed to be in buffalo new york. Keep in mind they all still have weed and pipes in the van. I (dylan) had bought a huge stockpile of firecrackers which are 100% legal in south carolina so i was not 100% innocent but alot less innocent then the 3 of them. So we start driving and soon we see a sign for canada, I asked everyone it looks llike we are headed for canada are you guys sure we shouldn’t stop and turn around??? jeffs response was " no it would say it on the gps if we were headed there" i even took a wrong turn and as we were looking for the freeway i asked again "are you sure we are going the rite way?? the sign says canada strate ahead" no one answered me so i continued to drive. Sure enough we get to the canadian border after i had said i have a feeling we are going to canada. Sure enough they ask us for our passports i said we only have our id’s. We show the guy our id’s he then writes us a ticket and makes us pull over to the side. The guy said " since you guys don’t have passports we are going to have to search yuor vehicle". sure enough they find marco jeff’s and steves weed. They find steves knife and jeff’s knife and they find my firecrackers.For whatever reason steve and jeff start to flip out on the border patrol cops and start cursing and saying "this is bullshit, this is the first and last time i’m ever coming to canada" etc. The cops asked " why are you guys making this such a big deal??" they responded "because this is bullshit" etc. The cop then responded " well since you think it’s bullshit we are now going to give all of you FULL BODY CAVITY SEARCHES". So I was the first one to get searched. They completely stripped me naked had me lift my ballsack up so they could check underneath it, and then they had me bend over and spread my asscheaks apart so they could look inside my asshole. After they finished searching all of us needless to say we were never going to make it to the buffalo show in time. All of this shit could have been prevented if they had just listened to me when i said dont bring weed and pipes in the van. Also keep in mind they let me keep my firecrackers and told me rite before they searched me" THE REASON WE ARE SEARCHING YOU IS BECAUSE WE FOUND WEED IN JEFFS VAN" they said nothing about the firecrackers other then you can keep your firecrackers and go back to the us or we can keep them and you can conitnue through canada but by that time we were never going to make it to the show in buffalo regaurdless of which way we went. I had done nothing wrong but becuase people in the van didn’t listen to me i was stripped naked and had to go through the most humiliatiing experience of my life.So rite after that happened i took my cut of the money which was $1,000 dolars out of the $5,000 we had made. I told everyone there" I am taking my cut of the money before anything else happens" of course no one responded. Since we couldn’t make it to that show we figured we would just drive to tinley park and the canadian even let me keep my firecrackers becuase they didn’t care about them. At this point i am so mad i thought to myself " i can either beet the shit out of all of them , scream my head off at them or just keep calm and quiet". I figured i would be mature and keep quiet. After we checked into the hotel room they told me " we are going to the promoters house" they didn’t say they were going to go set up and get ready for the show they just said "we are going to the promoters house" So i sat there and waited and thought, " i can either take more risks and stay with them in the van and risk getting pulled over again and sent to jail again, or i can take a plane home safe and sound.. My phone had died so i figured they were going to just come pick me up at the hotel when it was time to play the show. Sure enough several hours go by and finally by 1:am they show up to the room grab there stuff hop into the van and drive off. They had completelty desserted me in chicago with no way of getting home. I was lucky enough to stop them so i could get a small amount of cash so that i could atleast take a taxi to the airport they asked me if i wanted to come with them but I didn’t want to risk getting pulled over and cavity searched again so I said I’ll leave. If i didn’t run up to the van they were going to dessert me anyway so what is the point of staying in a van with a bunch of people who betrayed and hate you?? It was a 309 dolar flight one way from chicago back to san jose california but i had no choice. So after all of this happend none of them bother to apolagize even once the entire trip after i had warned them several times about the consequences of keeping weed in the van and none of them listened. I am sorry but being stripped naked and having your scrotum and butthole spread open for doing nothing wrong is where i draw the line. The ironic thing is that all of them acted like it was my fault that all of that shit happened. So after they all got home i told them " i am willing to talk if you guys have something to say" no one replied , so i said " then are you guys done??" and they said " yes" so as of now I am the only one left in brain drill. Keep in mind THEY DECIDED TO LEAVE not me, and I didn’t fire any of them. I hope to some day atleast do one last recording but for now its all over. -DYLAN RUSKIN (CREATOR OF BRAIN DRILL)

Und wieder ein Kapitel mehr im großen "Band Split-Up Geschichtsbuch". Mit Bound And Gagged und Deranged verabschieden sich wieder zwei recht gute Bands. Hier die offiziellen Messages:

Bound And Gagged schrieb "We are sadden to formally announce our separation. Some time ago, we took some time off to work on a new record. We placed Bound and Gagged on the back burner to get some other projects off the ground and we always thought we’d eventually get back on track eventually. We never completed tracking and we never followed through with some shows that we considered booking. So, after being inept for so long, it is fairly safe to say that we are officially disbanded. We want to thank Rich and United Guttural, Screaming Afterbirth, Dyscrasia, Skinned, Putrid Pile, Reprobation, all of the bands and clubs we have played with over the years and everyone that has supported us in the past."

Deranged schrieb "Martin Schönherr from DERANGED here. Sad news… A couple of weeks ago Rikard Wermén (drums) decided to leave the band. He's been handling all of the bands correspondence (as well as any other matters concerning the band) the last 15 years and told us that he basically was fed up didn't wanted to do that any longer and therefore decided to leave the band. He's been doing a really great work and has always managed to squeeze in time to handle the bands business. He also said numerous times that he will stay and do whatever shows that was booked but wouldn't handle any correspondence and the likes, and even said if we managed to get a tour later this year, he would stay for that as well in case we hadn't managed to get a new drummer. Fair enough and we thank him eternally for that… Now, Johan Axelsson (guitar) said that he didn't wanted to do the booked shows and wanted to split the band up (coz of reasons unknown) which leaves me and Tomas Ahlgren (bass) no other choice then hereby say that we can't play the following festivals, therefor Deranged are from now on split up. "
