03/20/07 . Hellfire Trigger officially calls it quits. The official statement:
"As of Sunday, March 18th., 2007...Hellfire Trigger is officially finished. Sitting here in front of my computer typing this, I have mixed emotions. 3 months ago, HFT was two members short. We picked up two guys to fill in for the last tour in December. 2 months ago, we became two members shorter still...and it was just me. Carrying on was a difficult decision, but there were responsibilities to think about that didn't concern myself: a label, a scene, and a promise to persevere at all costs. Within a few weeks, I had almost an entire lineup secured of the most fitting players I could have hoped for, but yesterday the people I admire most finally convinced me that for friendships, a drastic improvement, and my own well being I should start over."
"I have reasons for every move I make in life. I explore every angle. I will not however divulge the reasons for this move. That is my business...just trust that I have excellent cause."
"Three years equals... Making records, booking tours, designing t-shirts and stickers, drawing flyers, traveling to unseen places, finding new friends and keeping contact with old ones, meeting heroes, finding community, heated debate, exposure to great bands, writing great songs, playing alongside good hearted men, becoming vegan, setting up shows, getting disappointed, seeing the "inside", dealing with enemies, building hope, losing faith, and most of all learning lessons. I have aged 3 days for every 1 day served in Hellfire Trigger."
"I have a new band that will have a record out on New Age. CJ has a new band and is working at New Age. Rick has a new band. Forrest has a new band. AJ has a family on the way. Christopher lives in Chicago. Shaun Sisco lives in Portland. Sean Patrick is out being saintly somewhere in Vista. Please support all of these guys and their new projects. Thank you, everyone.

10/06/06 . Five Victims Four Graves locks in two new members and gears up for the release of "Desperation Never Felt So Good". Read the official word from the band below.
"We have a full band once again!"
5V4G is proud to say that we have found the missing links! No, not a pair of mating big foot, but close. We have been searching for a few months for a drummer and bass player and we have found them in Carl Chang and Ted Rauenhorst. Together they bring one thing we have lacked, and that is a super tight and punchy rhythm section that can melt your face off with speed or snap your neck with a brutal break. Watch the f*** out! Here's some background on our two newest members...
Carl "Changadeth" Chang - The beast came into auditions and showed us immediately what he could do. Needless to say we were very impressed. Carl has been drumming for the last 15 years, and is an absolute machine. He comes from a very mixed background of Sacramento bands such as The Lesdystics, Pummel, and The Revelry. His experience and love for music drive him to excellence.
Ted Rauenhorst - If you can't say his last name it's ok... we couldn't either. We can, however, say that Ted plays a wicked 4-string and can write some mean guitar. With 10 years of guitar and 7 years of bass under his belt in bands like Even Ground and The Revelry, we are very happy to add Ted's writing abilities and dedication to our mix.
"Desperation Never Felt So Good" hits stores 01/23/07.
