hello boys and girls!

alright.. so much has happened since our last post in here. it's been.. 2 months! so yea. lets start with house-keeping stuffs first. first of all, the band wanna wish all the best to Naaz and thank him for his contributions to the band for the past year. for your info, Naaz has left the band due to personal reasons after our gig at gashaus on the 27th of aug. it was nice performing with you bro. so for now, since Dayne's gonna go in for NS and go all patriotic and serve our country, we're gonna take a few months break to come up with originals and re-organise the band.

ok, some of you (we dont know who comes here to read this shit but who cares) might have heard of stories and rumours that RT has conflicts and disagreements with other bands. we would like to clear all the rumours and announce that WE DO NOT HAVE ANY CONFLICTS WITH ANY BANDS OR WHATSOEVER. it was all a misunderstanding. we are in good terms with all bands and do not wish to create rivals in the local scene. come on lah guys, support local band ya'll!

ok then, till we see you guys again.

k upcoming gigs on 29 July(Moshpit Volume 1), 30 July(Tribute To Metalgodz) & 19 August. Be there to catch us live.

Recently, we had just recruited a new bassist. His name is Dayne from the band Someone Murdered Cupid. He used to play punk rock & has recently started playing metalcore. He'll be tutored by Naaz in order to maintain ith the band's standard of play. As for Naaz, he'll become our 2nd vocalist. Some kind of reformation hurr....

on 3rd March we performed IJ studio....e gig was boring...but our perforamnce was great...dis is wat e organisers comment bout e gig;

"2nd session of Bands Rumble @ I.J Studio Reached I.J late, about 6.10pm. Lucky for us, Soup of the day called in last minute and told us the would be there by 7pm. Big bummer for us there’s no supporters and it’s already past 6pm!! So, last minute changes were made, and finally Exothermica/ Impeerical kicked off the show at 0645pm with their impressive old- metal rock covers. Crowd started to settle down to Soup Of The Day ‘All- originals’ session. Next up, was our well- known Skyjuice and Rhetorical Theory who rocked their fans and even had a happening moshpit going on. Lastly, the bros from German Suplex entertained us with their soothing grooves as we chill- out to the end of the night. Stupendous performance from all the bands! Two thumbs up! Yet, we wish crowd turnout could be better"
