RABIES CASTE Vinyl Records and CDs

... one new song "Mouthwash", which was supposed to coincide with a video. The shootings did take place but were never edited, the guy who did it dissapeared but luckily wasn't payed. The recording still remained and it's quite unique. The band has moved forward and began working on a new material, which was now more metallic and somewhat slower. Summer 1997: "Children Can Fall Into Bucket And Drown" 6 songs EP was recorded in the basement on 4 tracks in the intensive heat during that summer. Dale Rabid doesn't do vocals anymore because he's "busy enough drumming". With songs such as "Neon", "Goddamn" and the 10 minutes wall of noise "Inch" this was the record to start touring with but the decision was not to release it. The EP was sold on tapes at couple of shows and went back home on a shelve. Despite most of the songs were well known to the regular crowd the record has never been airplayed or put to digital download. Early 1998: Moving on...RABIES CASTE is busy writing material for their first full lenght album which they intend to self release. A lot of new songs were written and 6 chosen to be on the most interesting recording up to that day. The sessions were sqeduled for June in the same studio where "Children Can Fall.." was done and two weeks before the actual recording Pigface Kazzz joins in on second guitar. (He used to be in another hardcore band Ausweis, who have toured with RABIES CASTE a lot around that time and split up early 1998. Dave K used to play in Ausweis on second guitar as well and even contributed to the Ausweis record "Commintern.com" on several tracks late '97.) Pigface Kazzz is playing on the new record on 5 songs, except for "Astronaut/Alien". The first mix was lost on the computer, second didn't sound right and third has taken a month to get to. "For The Vomiting Tractor Drivers" session took two weeks and was mastered and pressed in late August 1998. Self release of 260 copies were sold and sent away to magazines and labels. Pigface Kazzz leaves RABIES CASTE in Fall '98 after shows as a four piece. He cannot fully commit himself to the band and moves away. Replacement didn't follow. Winter 1999: RABIES CASTE and Infernal Racket Records (PA,USA) agreed to officially release "For The Vomiting Tractor Drivers" worldwide. The release is sqeduled for Summer but has been delayed because the factory refused to press CDs due to their severe content (whatever the fuck it means). The press was run in Canada instead and the album was officially released in September 1999. The band is planning to tour but the opportunity only comes when RABIES CASTE are offered a support slot for Liverpool's "dBh" early 2000. At that time Dale Rabid was working on some project with some folks, to complete an album. It seems that the lead singer had damaged his vision in bizzare tractor accident two days before the sqeduled recording sessions, which never taken place. 1999-2000: 10 dates UK tour with dBh in April 2000 which was followed by another UK tour with Freebase in November. Meanwhile the band was writing new material for the next release and booked a studio in London for November 2000 with producer Harvey Birrell. November 2000: 5 days in Southern studio London = 6 tracks "Let The Soul Out And Cut The Vein" advanced record. This album eventually found a home at Earache Records early 2001. May 2001: RABIES CASTE signing a record deal with Earache Records and are heading back to UK to complete 10 tracks for the full lenght "Let The Soul Out And Cut The Vein" and a tour with sludge brothers Charger. The record is completed and remixed with Harvey Birrell again at the same studio. August 2001: "Let The Soul Out And Cut The Vein" i
