Hell Yeah! We have a new album which is the good news....Out Now on Ramhaus Records in the USA and available there in ALL good record stores. If it ain't out on the shelves they can order it in!
The bad news is we are looking for licensing/distribution for the UK and Europe as we speak so you'll have to wait to buy it here/there BUT you can download it here on i-sounds, so you can buy the whole album with all the artwork included.
Even more importantly we want to enlist you to help spread our disease. Help us to infect the masses and rid us of all this nonsense, the norm music currently invading our delicate hearing.......What can I do? for I am but one I hear you say. Plenty indeed
The easy bit is add one of our songs to YOUR MySpace profile, spread the disease further to all your friends, get them to add tracks to their profile, bulletin this blog out, sign up to our myspace blog, register here for our 'Believers' news letter and get your friends signed up. TOP 8 us on Myspace, thats a start...we want to virally infect all of those who are unhappy with all the bollox coming from the major labels.
Join our movement the believers. MORE DETAILS TO follow
To start we need to make this blog somewhere interesting to come and visit, we need your photo's.....spread your disease onto our pages, scrawl AOD on yourselves take a picture send it in, expose yourself whatever we want to see YOUR pics! AND we want them NOW...
What's in it for me I hear you skeptics say....come on most of the music out there is shit, most of the bands are lame (the good ones have been around years) AND without wishing to open a can of worms Mansons new album is just pathetic....!
We know there are too many that do not know of us...so spread it. Infect the world with AOD, join the movement, be part of the bands revolution....of course for the very best pictures there may be a signed copy of the NEW album or maybe the band may expose themselves for you....

INFECT
d
Firstly thanks for taking an interest in Avoidance of Doubt. We are creating quite a buzz in the Industry at the moment and hopefully this will give you further information on the band and our career so far.
To give you some background information, AOD released their first album ‘Science of the Mind’ via a small independent label; Tomcat Records in 2004. Now, we have a new set, new material and a new EP released April 22nd 2006. The band are receiving an immense amount of interest from within the industry and from a large number of labels and promoters etc. That's before you even take a look at AOD's awesome stage show.
NEW CD/EP
AOD have just completed recording a new EP; 'Through My Eyes' featuring 4 new tracks and several remixes. The EP, recorded at Britannia Row Studios in London and mixed at Jacobs has been produced by Steve Lyon (The Cure, Paradise Lost, Depeche Mode, The Creatures and Nitzer Ebb).
'Through my Eyes' also features Emilie Autumn who has played with Billy Corgan and Courtney Love, Emilie is also causing quite a stir in the USA with her own solo work.
ON TOUR
The band has just completed its second headline tour of 30 dates across the UK following on from our first highly successful tour early in 2005. On the most recent ‘Salvation Tour’ AOD also had support dates with UltraViolence and VNV Nation (at the bands’ request).
We hope to tour again later in 2006 along with some possible German dates and we are also in discussion re: a tour of Portugal, Spain and other European territories. Emilie Autumn, has also invited us to tour in the USA with her. We are also as we speak putting together a USA tour scheduled for August/September.
AOD BELIEVERS
We have a fast growing fan base with hits to our website growing every month. (1500 in July and exceeded 3000 in Feb 2006).
Our Myspace account has really taken off with 1400 friends in February, but has now grown to 11500 at the beginning of April and 300 or more new friends finding us everyday.
'Burn' in its demo form received over 1000 plays in 1 week alone, 'Jesus Wept' again in demo form getting over 1400 downloads from download.com. With each track from the new EP exceeding 4000 downloads each in their first 4 weeks of being up on the net.
THE LOOK, THE SOUND
We initially appear as a fairly OTT and outrageous visual band along with the fact that we are both musically heavy and yet have a bizarrely "dance-ish" backbone to our music. However from being out on the road we find that our fans come from all ages and backgrounds and we have an exceptionally wide musical appeal. A good example of this would be our headline date at The Roadmender ‘Friday Fri Up’ playing to a sell out crowd of under 16's of nearly 700.
Avoidance of Doubt have been compared to Rammstein, Marilyn Manson, NiN, Rob Zombie, Static X and Korn. Often labeled as Gothic Metal, Industrial Cyber, Dance Metal or Disco Metal.
However AOD are all and none of these things, whilst they are alternative, they are a theatrical experience drawing not just from the aforementioned bands but also from Pink Floyd, David Bowie and from the more visual aspects of music and performance.
Mixing it all up with an exceptionally tight stage show and a vibrant passion fueled visual performance.
GLOBAL DOMINATION
AOD still remain highly commercial with haunting and powerful melodies. AOD seek forward thinking labels and promoters to further their career with a goal of global domination. If you feel you’d like to work with an exceptionally hard working and focused band to develop a strategy to take the band forward we look forward to very much to hearing from you.
We have seen press coverage in the major metal magazines reviewing our first album: Metal Hammer, Terrorizer, Kerrang and RockSound.
SUPPORTERS TO THE CAUSE
AOD are sponsored by Allycat Metalware (who make all our accessories), Devolution Magazine and also RFA Slaghuis Media who provide all our online streaming. Our make up brushes are provided by Christine Alsopp a Bafta nominated make up artist who will be doing AOD's make up on our new video filming in the summer.
We are also looking for equipment endorsements and make up and hairspray sponsorship.
ON SCREEN
The latest Track 'Jesus Wept' has now been re-recorded from its demo form and is tipped to be our first ‘big’ single and is to be play listed on Scuzz TV and will also feature on Kerrang TV’s Reloaded program. The track has been aired on Sky channel Extreme Sports and is earmarked to be used in the next Richard Gere film “The Flock” and also possibly in a new Bruce Willis film currently in pre production.
Producer Steve Lyon has said we are the most original band he has ever heard and worked with, we look forward to recording our second album with him.
