Bastard Sapling began in the month of October in the year of 2007 as a one-man project recorded on a four track by Drew (Guitar). A drummer by the name of Elway soon after was requested to fill a slot on the drums. May 20th of 2008 B.S. played as a three piece with vocalist Mike of Inter Arma. A couple of shows passed and the addition of a second guitarist Steve (also of Inter Arma) was made. B.S. continued without a bassist for half the year until recently solidifying the line-up with bassist Peter of Battlemaster. Bastard Sapling intends to capture its own sound with heavy influences in the vein of: Ulver, Emperor,Immortal, Darkthrone, Drudkh, etc. The band recorded a 'raw rehearsal demo' that was released in limited copies during the Heart Of Winter Festival '08 in Richmond, Va.
A split 7" is planned this year with Infernal Stronghold from Philadelphia, PA. To be released on Forcefield Records.
Dudes, awesome job last night, and well done on Wolf and Destiny! Nobody seemed to realise that the song was over, so don't feel like you fucked up just because nobody clapped! Three thumbs up!
Hey dudes. June 2nd at Nara, we are releasing our demo and playing a show with The Leviathan's Mandible, Necrobeast, and Satyrasis (Michigan Thras/Death). Come hang out and fuckin rage! See you on the 9th...
Hi Drew. I'm not in Philadelphia. The May 16 show will most likely not occur. There seems to be a double-booked situation. I'm not too happy about it. Let's practice on Sunday.
