19.09.07: European tour is over and has been rated a complete success! Some of you may have heard about the tour bus incident resulting in transport problems, however all was quickly rectified and thankfully only 1 date had to be cancelled, apologies to Ricardo from El Diablo Club, it was completely out of the bands control.

On the plus side the band performed exceptionally well at all the shows and received a great response and made alot of new friends in the global metal scene, and look forward to returning next year. Bloodsotck was another higlight for the band, cheers to all involved in a great weekend.

Sincere thanks to Clive Leighton (UK - Bloodstock), David Hubert (BEL), Simao (POR) and all the other promoters/bands involved. Special thanks to Simao and the entire population of Torres Novas for their kind hospitality and putting the band up for 3 days while the tour bus issue was sorted, HFC explained they had never met nicer people!

Some pics from the shows are availabe here, courtesy of Alice Bradshaw.

Last but not least the band would like to thank THE PROPHECY for touring with them this time, it was an absolute blast. Future tours are already being planned for both bands so expect to see them in a town near you - europe has been warned!

Special thanks to Matt and The Prophecy for their kind hospitality and for loaning us his house for 2 days, and the bacon butties! The gigs were great, looking forward to Irish tour in September and Europe domination next year!!!

Cheers to all those who came down we appreciate the support, and special thanks to the distortion project for putting on the show, 2nd December will see HFC hitting the Rosetta Bar supporting DAWN on the release of their new album.
10.10.05 : Kinda difficult to know where to start sometimes. A year after its conception "the darkest pinnacle of light" is finally completed. It has been a struggle. Andy is now the frontman taking on the additional role of vocals, which led to the delay in the release as the vocal lines had to practically be re-written! However, the latest offering is now ready to be unleashed, 5 of the darkest tracks the band have come up with, this is as dark as it gets...

The website has been totally re-vamped, feel free to look around and listen to clips of the forthcoming release. 100% raw, heavy fucking metal!!! - some things never change...
