I guess its a bit of a belated Happy New Year from Holy Roar, as I went to Paris this week and got stuck there an additional 24 hours due to Eurostar cancellations. It wasnt all bad though, I got a free (really nice) hotel for the night and first class back the following morning! Below is a photo of the Catacombs i visited in Paris. Total brutality. All human bones. The most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. They go on for miles of tunnel.



So a bit of a round up/whats happening etc....

- Any orders placed (excluding Throats preorders) between dec 18th and now will go out on Monday 9th Jan.
- The Throats preorder is still running! Have you picked it up? Its not going to be around for long now!
