Does anyone here know what the fuck Akercocke are up to?

[ratsapprentice]

So, where the fuck have they gone?
I thought someone on here may know the band or know people who do?
ANY info would be great, as there is literally nothing on teh interwebs

Trolling Christians and wearing tweed, I'd imagine.
I hope they're up to something, though, it'd be nice to have a new record!

I know the last I heard was that they were about to start pre-pro /demoing and that a new record was a way off, but that was fucking ages ago
They are now an indie band afaik, so they aren't really working under time constraints, but no-one seems to have any fucking clue

Well Matt Wilcock recently left the band and started THE ANTICHRIST IMPERIUM with david gray, the drummer, and they played damnation festival last year (instead of akercocke usually playing it).
So maybe the band is just non-existant at the moment and they'll start looking for another guitarist or something when they can be arsed.
Pretty shit though because the last 2 albums were fucking awesome.

That was a while ago, and they said they already had someone lined up to fill the spot, while Matt was still in the band on their last tour with him so...
