8/27/08 Age Eternal, (formally Middian) are done, here's their
post on myspace:
Age Eternal(Middian) is fucking dead.
Our lawsuit is finally coming to a close. It has been a hard year,
and we could not have done it without the support of the metal
community world wide and the time and money people donated to our
cause. We are eternally in your debt.
Sadly, the lawsuit came with a high cost to us personally and
interpersonally. Scott Headrick is quitting the band and moving.
Mike S felt he needed to back off from touring due to family and
work/lack of work issues, cutting his touring commitment from
60-70 shows a year to a handful of shows, mostly local to the
West Coast, for an indefinite amount of time, maybe permanently.
This extreme change in direction, coupled with the immense stress
of our lawsuit and inner conflicts in the band resulted in Scott's
decision to move on with his life. Scott Headrick is the highest
caliber of person. We mourn his loss, and support his need to take
care of himself.
We are very sad to share this news about Age Eternal, but are
confident that it must and will open the doors for new music
creation and growth.
Will Lindsay and Mike S will continue to write music with the goal
of recording and doing some shows, under another name, as a new
band and not Age Eternal. And with Will’s now full-time commitment
playing guitar with the immaculate Wolves In The Throneroom,
people should be expecting to see him in their hometown in the USA
and abroad very soon.
News regarding the reformation of YOB, including a small number of
shows and a new recording, shall be announced officially soon.
Once again, we cannot thank the metal community and people who
donated their money and time enough. We feel extremely fortunate
to be a part of such a quality group of people, and we will pay
your kindness and generosity forward.
Doomed Regards,
Age Eternal RIP

As many of you may already know, Middian have been having some
legal problems lately over their name. The band received a

been dropped by their label and booking agent because of this
crap, so if you'd like to help out, here is a link for those
who wanted to donate $: http://middian.org/donate/

On May 5, 1993, the mutilated bodies of
three second-graders were found in a wooded area near
West Memphis, Ark. With no leads and not much left at
the crime dump site, the police in this part of the
bible belt were desperate and under pressure to place
blame. One month later the police found their
scapegoats...After being pressured for hours by police,
Jessie Miskelley, an easily impressionable boy with
an I.Q. of only 72 (aged 17), voluntarily confessed to
participating in the brutal slayings. His confession
(which was withdrawn almost immediately) implicated
local outcasts and "weirdos" Jason Baldwin, 16, and
Damien Echols, 18 -- deemed "Devil worshipers" for
wearing black, listening to heavy metal music, and
generally not being bible thumpers. Public opinion
condemned the teens long before their trials began.
Even though Miskelley's confession conflicted with
many facts and details of the crime, and no real
evidence proving the boys were at fault was found,
they were convicted because the prosecution painted
them as devil worshippers, using the way they dress
and the music they listen to against them. They were
different.
Now 3 fellow metalheads sit behind bars
(one on death row) for a crime they no doubt DIDN'T
commit. THIS COULD BE YOU...
