Amazing that you fellows quite usurped the idea of doing a Black Metal/Ambient/Industrial album themed around the industrial decay of fallen asylums... my little group of UrEx people were thinking of doing something similar.
I seriously doubt we would have accomplished anything close to Deleted Scenes... so, brilliant work on that. We'll be listening to it in our favorite abandoned asylum for sure... in the black corridors and desolation.
I hope at some point AoP can get around to Pennsylvania in the U.S. - We'd love to tour you gents around/get you wasted/jam out with you.

Awsome stuff glad to hear it! The band are indeed fans of session 9 and have been forcing everyone they can capture to watch it clockwork orange style. They where also toying with the idea of having a gallery for board users to post pictures from thier urbexp (mis)adventures it would be cool if you could get some in an abandoned asylum listening to the album.

Haha, not only can I get in a few, I spend hours listening to Metal & such in them. Hell - my UrbEx crew and I have been setting up hangout rooms and such in them for our drinking sessions (which unfortunately culminated in a whole ladies bathroom -5 stalls- full of piss). We've been flirting with the idea of bringing some music gear & a generator up to one of them, getting blitzed and making some eerie discordant shit in this huge (Concert atleast) sized underground hall we found in a main building whilst recording it all. We've actually watched Session 9 in the Philadelphia State Hospital (Byberry) & most of it at another one... the one we actually have turned into a home away from home I guess you could say. For some pictures, here's one of my good buddies picture sites, various abandoned buildings & asylums there. The guy is a pretty big figure in the mid-atlantic (especially) USA Urban Exploration, we actually just missed out on a friends trip to Danvers (where Session 9 was filmed) - the dude got some good pictures, but I forget his site. pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/goddog215/my_photos

There's some absolutely magnificent specimens in there. Don't be surprised if TAOP gets in touch when we're next looking for source materials for the artwork....
"Session 9" is indeed an invaluable supplement to the "Deleted Scenes..." experience; that film is quite the rare treasure.

Session 9 is most seriously a favourite, also Exorcist 3, into the mouth of madness & event horizon force the mind to confront the distortions of reality

Session 9 is indeed awesome, Danvers would make a great venue for some kind of Black Metal rave. Maybe with podium dancer girls in Robbie the Rabbit suits with big knives...hmm.

Those bunkers are insanse, cool site, perhaps there should be a seperate forum or links page for UrbEx gubbins.
There is a cool edwardian mansion a 100 yards from where Brooke (axis vocalist) lives, it was used as an old folks home but was closed a few months ago. It only took 2 months and the place looked like it had been abandoned for decades! He was going to go snoop round but today some fuckheads set it alight, that its been burning for about 3 hours now and the roads been closed off, such a shame

Id like to hear what your guys would sound like after relocating to Moss Side. I find the grimiest and weirdest places can be huge abandoned warehouses during underground parties. all the lights on, and just room after room,floor after floor of nothing except different levels of decay and random abandoned objects, usually makes for more fun than the music.. There was a great abandoned asylum near to me, linked by WW2 shelters via tunnels...unfortunatley, the first person through stuck he head up to find the police were using to train particuarly evil dogs...

I'm not an Urban Explorer (though I'm very tempted!) but I've just had a holiday in the sun of Santorini (a Greek Island north of Crete). There are loads of long-abandoned buildings fenced-off in the capital- Thira (Fira). Also, I was in North Cyprus last year which is the Tirkish occupied part, there are 2 areas in Farmagusta and their capital called 'The Dead Zone'. Abandoned buildings and rusty cranes everywhere for at least the last 15 years. Shame you aren't allowed in and could be shot really. I would have gone into the Thira buildings but I was too scared of being bum-raped in a Greek jail (almost as scary as 'Deleted Scenes...'!!). I can give directions to anyone going who has more testicular fortitude. On a side note, I played a bit of 'Heaving Salvation in the Paradise of Rust' to my German girlfriend's 16 year old sister who said "I think of empty factories". She understands why!? However, she then ruined my admiration by saying "Why can't you like normal music like Missy Elliot? Sigh. Apologies for length all!

Parents aren't too good at sending wrongness. Especially when the bundle of NO is pretty pink disney wrapping paper. What's all that about??! Anyway, I've got enough birthday money to afford much in the way of bleak dark distortion and black Cyclopian imagery! Thanks for the shout, it made me smile before getting back to being grim!
