The Bakerton Group is the side project of Clutch. The band is comprised of four of the five members and has toured extensively throughout Canada and the U.S. Taking a sidestep from the token Clutch sound, The Bakerton Group is completely instrumental and pushes into foreign territory with a more southern, psychedelic, improvisational feel

Brutal Truth / Total Fucking Destruction split 7"
BRUTAL TRUTH does Sister Fucker and TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION does Kill Your Boss on this split 7"

Out in January: After a manufacturing disaster that held up the release of this classic album it is with extreme relief that we are able to announce that :
“Crippled Lucifer: 10 Psalms For Our Lord of Light” will finally be ready for the hordes in early January. The mailorder version will be exclusively limited to 2,000 copies and besides the double cd of the regular version it will contain a “drop card” that will allow the owner to exclusively download the audio of a full live show from 1996 and a previously unheard demo from the same era. The packaging on this bitch is absolutely amazing and will serve as the appropriate sheath to shelter this archive. Trust us…it will be worth the wait and more!

Keep the fires burning to stave off the perma-frost!

voilà pour l'actu de caldera qui est bien chargée,

Middian may not be dead after all........

As many of you know, Middian received a cease and desist demand in October from Midian of Milwaukee LLC. This demand required Middian to stop using our name completely, stop selling our album, and further demanded that all of our recorded cds and albums be destroyed. Middian was served a cease and desist by a band that has never played outside of Wisconsin, hasn't put out a single record, or had a steady line up in the last 7 years. They hadn't even updated their website since year 2000, as of a few weeks ago. We played Milwaukee in May, and no one there even mentioned a local band Midian of one "d". Nor did one of their "fans" come to the show.

Prior to this demand, we had never heard of them. Upon further research into the group, we discovered they had not used their name or trademark in years or even played outside of Wisconsin, ever. Our initial response was that our bands could peacefully co-exist. Especially since we learned that our usage combined with their non-usage entitled us to the name, rendering their trademark useless. But we felt it would be wasting everyones time and money to send the issue to litigation. Besides, before the name Middian was chosen, a careful online search was done, proving that no other active unit had the same spelling.

Instead of responding or agreeing to our offer of co-existence, they filed a federal suit against the three of us individually, our label (Metal Blade, who dropped us because of the suit), our booking agent Nanotear Booking, and an online merchandiser we had never even heard of until we saw the complaint.

We sent them word that we would give the name up and even agreed to some other demands that seemed unreasonable, simply because we're not in a financial position to fight it.

They refused to accept our settlement, demanding we pay them tens of thousands of dollars. By right of actual usage worlwide, the name Middian is ours. Regardless of that we have no choice but to FIGHT and defend ourselves in court. We intend to strip them of their trademark and deny them their unfair demands of money and of our music.

We're humbly asking for YOUR help. Spread the word far and wide, to wherever you can. If you can afford it, please donate some money to our defense fund. We're going to have A LOT of legal fees and we're simply not in a position to pay for it by ourselves. You can donate funds at www.middian.org in the news section. You will find a link there under the "Middian Defense Fund" heading.

We would like to thank everyone that has sent us messages. The underground metal community's love has simply been overwhelming.

With your help and support, Middian will stand triumphant against this truly evil attack on our persons and families.

Mike, Scott, Will, and Nanotear Booking.
MIDDIAN
