What A Year It Has Been'..

A year that cannot be measured by time but by achievement. This year Cessation Of Life has been places it had never been before and worked in places most musicians only dream of working. And as fantastic as much of it has been it would mean nothing without the people that have supported Cessation Of Life all year long.

We want to say "Thank You" to the fans that came out to every show in every city. We want to say "Thank You" to every fan that requested Cessation Of Life on the radio stations nationwide, worldwide and Internet wide. And we want to say "Thank You" to every person that is currently cranking up the new CD and pissing off their neighbors!

We want to thank every visitor we have had to the website this year. With a staggering 1,004,000 visitors and a mind blowing 1,893,000 hits including visitors' from 142 different countries, cessationoflife.com made a real mark in the global Internet Heavy Metal scene.

We also want to thank all the radio DJ's, Music Magazine writers and reviewers, the webmasters of Heavy Metal related sites and all the concert promoters whose efforts directly affected this year's success especially Denis at the Moshking, Hide at Powerslave and Raven at Hard Rock Radio Live. We have to personally thank Metal Mark Lazaris, DJ Tonus, Bill Sablan, Todd Jaymz, Chris Anheier, Wayne Klinger, Michael Seremet, Metal Rules.com, Maglaras Antonis, Torch, Metal Side, Hendu, Patrick De Sloover, Debra @ Star Booking, Lanny Ray & The Reels, Drew Horn, Zina Dean, Willie & Tina, and Katon & Glen of Hirax.

We want to thank Eugene Foley of Foley Entertainment and John Seymour of Media 51 for their professionalism that helped us create our latest CD and business plan.

We want to thank the companies that endorse us with their brand name and products including ESP Guitars, Rotosound Strings and a special "Thank You" to Gary Kramer and Kramer Guitars for putting so much effort into Cessation Of Life and a brand new Kramer Guitar.

We want to thank our families for their support. Rehearsing, performing and recording all take time away from home and away from the people that love us. Thank you for all your understanding.

Of course the list can go on forever because it is impossible to thank everyone that lends a hand or comes to the shows. Just know that you are one of the main reasons we play and will continue to play. There are new songs being written and a new CD in the works'..so keep checking the website and stay in touch.

Have a Thrashin' New Year! See You in 2006!
