Hi every body! We're The Vanishing Act from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I guess the band started in one form or another in 2001 with a totally different line-up than the one you can see now, mainly consisting of members of Insurrection and also our good friend Matt 'Dez' Parent from Trioxin 245 and Sick Sad World...and I was in it as well, tee hee hee. That line-up fell through and after this Dez and I recorded a demo with a drum-machine in his basement. It was used as a four-way split between Sick Sad World, Human Jerky and FTW and copies of it are incredibly scarce (hell, I even lost my own copy a few years ago). Using those songs as a way of recruiting new band members, VA got lucky and Dan and Lee from the then up-and-coming (but not really anymore) band Mr. Roger's Death Bus. Being as Dan was an excellent drummer and Lee was an awesome guitarist, naturally this worked out perfectly and they've been in the band ever since. Yeah we basically stole their members, eh, what you going to do? Since then we've gone through about a zillion line-up changes and at the moment it's Dan on drums, Lee on guitar, our friend Gary on bass, Kevin (from Gary's band Elephantoms!) on vocals and me (Isaac) on guitar and vocals. Over time we came across a sound that was pretty heavy (mainly by accident). I guess it could be described as a wierd mixture between grind, death metal and emo. We now call ourselves 'Death Emo' to piss off metalheads, which is always fun. However, basically, we're really just a bunch of fun-loving kids who listen to a bit too much Carcass and Autopsy for their own good.
New updates.. well to this page at least. we decided to post all new tracks. so there they are 3 of the 4 tracks we recorded with Mike Bond. i was going to post all 4 but the last one was too big or something? i don't really know. So there enjoy!
