When asked by the UK’s TERRORIZER Magazine how he felt and why SEREGON have taken so many opportunities to help Mike’s family, SEREGON’S James Moore said:

“The main reason as to why we are doing everything we can is simple, the UK Thrash scene is a big family and families need to stick together and look after one another. After playing with Evile a few times, Mike instantly made you feel like you had been friends for years and I can find comfort in knowing the last time we spent time together was having a blast at Bloodstock with friends all around. Mike and Evile raised the bar for unsigned Thrash bands like us as well as hold the door open and help many of us through, for that we are truly grateful. We will miss you Mike, Love and Bruises. James.”

A huge thank you also goes to Marita at Punishment 18 Records and Kathy Waters for helping us make the contact with several of the bands. Raffle tickets will be available on the night and entry to the show will cost £5.00, for more details please go to http://www.myspace.com/seregonuk



New CD will be out on 30/10/09 and you can grab it here at the show first, i'm sure if we ahve it a week before at MEtal on MEtal we will be pushing it out as well! But pelase, come down, celebrate with us and party with friends.

The raffle will have lots of signed goodies from all the bands, Testament and Megadeth.

All proceed's from the Charity Raffle at our EP Release show will go to Mike Alexanders Daughter, please come to the show, dig deep and celebrate a true gentleman of the UK Thrash scene with us. RIP Mike, thankyou for the awesome times.

Nice thought that

Nice one.

Just so say, i'm not trying to jump on any band wagon. I just had a nice thought and it's been picked up by the metal presses, the last thing I want people to think is that i/we are trying to cash in on this horrible, horrible situation. I, like everyone just wanted to do something and it seems that a little has gone a long way.

Fuck em man, of course some press will label is at that - at end of the day, news journalism works on spinning already posted stuff.

You dont need to explain yourselves, we all know from UK Thrash, you got up this morning and thought "fuck it lets do this for Mike" so dont explain yourselves.

I do have some actual questions for you however: Hows the new CD sounding?

what can we expect?

lets just hope that this concert will help hes daughter even little.

Aye I know we are all part of the good ship UK Thrash but there will always be people thinking the worse unfortunatley. Either way, it's a small gesture that has built up steam and i'm happy that i'm able to do my bit.

CD Wise we will have a new track up online in the next 2 weeks to wet the whistle. I never really know how to answer these questions as to what it sounds like as it's more of a case of writing what we think sounds cool, makes us bang our head and that's about it lol But nooo, I guess it's very much if Testament, Sepultura and Vader had an orgy we'd the 'Accident' that spawned 9 months later.

We know you better than that james,you would never exploit it,just doing your bit to help

Really nice idea guys, well done.

I dont think anyone on this would have thought that mate

Good work James, it doesn't surprise me that you guys are doing this coz you guys are fookin' marvellous chaps and it's a fantastic gesture. A contingent from up here will be making the foray to the show so if there's anything we can do you know where we are bud.

The charity raffle is really taking shape, have the following bands on board donating things (Thankyou Marita):




And Sam Scott Hunter (Photographer who did the Evile promo shot's in June/July is donating some prints to the raffle as well.



I personally will also be doubling the figure made in the Charity Raffle also as well.

I'm also donating signed items from MEGADETH and TESTAMENT that I have personally gathered through my travels over the years, whether working with the bands or Meet and Greets.

I've enjoyed them, now it's time for others to enjoy them as well as help a worthy cause.

Bump, please see first post.
