Damaged Justice hits the stage again … after a while

Symen — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 09:00:02 +0000

After almost a year of rehearsing new songs, and making other songs even better, we are ready to perform for you again.

We will be playing in Rock café Mukkes, which is somewhat small, but very cosy. Last weeks we have been rehearsing our setlist for this gig and we got some great songs to play for you.

We’re really looking forward to seeing you again and delivering you the metal you love.

C Ya!

The beast has arrived!

Be prepared for some extra serious low frequency attacks at Damaged Justice gigs from now on, “Blackened” – Flip’s new bass has arrived!

After a 26 month wait (incl first design stages) my new baby arrived at Edwin van Huik’s http://www.connectionbult.com/bass/instruments.html {Bass Connection}, shortly followed by me (Flip) to pick her up

The Bass is based on Jason Newsted’s ‘88/’89 Alembic Elan 5 as used on the Damaged Justice (sounds familiar?) tour to support Metallica’s “…and Justice for all” album.

The original bass was later upgraded with Series II electronics (for “teknikal” info on Alembic electronics see: www.alembic.com) and he used it until he stopped using Alembics onstage in ’94.

I was planning for an exact replica, but decided to make it a more personal bass.

I upgraded the Maple neck laminates to Flamed Maple lams, take a look at the pictures (see link below) and you know why… It looks stunning!

It has a wider neck profile as the original, neck profile is the same as Jason’s Alembic Europa 5 string basses.

Since this is getting awfully technical, I suggest you go to my site to see all features on this monster.

Be warned, for this bass will be seen/heard/felt at upcoming gigs.

Very nice show, people got really energetic during Enter Sandman and Seek ‘n Destroy.

We handed out those free promo cd’s…, and people were going mad for ‘em!

I hope everyone was happy getting one..

We had a great time anyway, check the pictures:

Tomorrow night gig at Vroomshoop

Symen — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 09:33:04 +0000

Look us op in Vroomshoop tomorrow.

We will be hitting ‘Het Front’ up for a kickass gig.

We will be bringing some new gear to the gig, some new guitars especially.

And of course we’ll hand out those free promo cd’s you all love so much.

Some shots of our free promo CD

Symen — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 14:54:12 +0000

Here’s some pictures of the free promo CD. You can be the owner of one, just by visiting one of our gigs. We will hand out about 25 cd’s every gig for free, so make sure you stay ’til the end, and be somewhere in the front row. It has five tracks, two studio-, three live-tracks, in beautiful quality!

Happy fucking new year!

Symen — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 09:25:28 +0000

Damaged Justice wishes you all a happy new year! 2010 will rock and we’re gonna help!

Damn. Frogrock Hijum was great!

My ears are still ringing from yesterday. We arrived on time, and managed to get all our equipment on stage, where Landslip had already set up their gear. Around 10 o’clock we hit the stage. We opened explosively with ‘Battery’, followed by ‘Creeping Death’. The crowd was a bit shy, but we could see they enjoyed it. Halfway into the show, we went to playing the hit singles ‘One’ and ‘Enter Sandman’, which got Hijum going a little wild.

We closed the show with ‘Seek and Destroy’, and took the time to hand out our first batch of free promo cd’s. To all the people that managed to get one: we hope you enjoy it. To everyone that was at the show: thanks for being there and singing along. We heard you pretty good.

If you enjoyed the show, keep checking out this website every now and then. We’ll keep you updated on next gigs.

So the website theme is back… somewhat.

Symen — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 10:25:51 +0000

With very little time on my hands (Sinterklaas shopping today), I managed to get the theme back somewhat. Our hosting provider could not help me with a backup (which I should have done myself). So I started from scratch. The graphics were still intact, so it was just HTML and CSS I had to create again. But that’s my job, so no big deal.

Now to prepare for the gig in Hijum tonight! Preparing my voice and blasting out Master Of Puppets in my car stereo!

C ya tonight.

Crap… fucked up our site lost our template!

Symen — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:49:40 +0000

Even professionals make stupid mistakes. Yesterday I updated the website CMS system, which overwrote the default template, which I had modified.

Right now I’m trying to get it back some way… hope it’s possible… until then, you’ll have to do with this boring template….

Sorry… be back soon…

Next gig: Frogrock 2009, Hijum, 28/11

Symen — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 18:15:25 +0000

We forgot that this gig was not announced on the ‘old’ website… So we announce it once again. Check out the event page for this gig. This will probably be the first gig where our new promo-cd’s will be handed out! Get one! There’s only 500 printed.
