Hello to all friends and fans out there on the interwebs! Here's the latest on Von Doom:
It is with displeasure and sadness that we report to you all that Justin Vaughn, the master of the sticks that we have had the pleasure of sharing the stage with show after show, will be stepping down from his position in the band. We wish him the best of luck in Colorado, soon to be his new home.
With the departure of Justin at hand, it is time to hold auditions for the next drummer of Von Doom! If you or anyone you know think you have what it takes, please message us, respond to this blog, or e-mail us at: vondoomband@hotmail.com. Here's some of the specifications for our applicants to consider:
- Proficient in fast double-bass pedaling
- Must be able to learn all material thoroughly (isolated drum tracks will be provided)
- Must be able to attend practices (located in North Portland) every Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoon, at the least
- Gear will be provided at practice space (gear is based on a "if you break it, you must replace it" philosophy)
Von Doom has been popping up in many places around the internet, and the latest is the Zsentient Metal Radio Podcast! Check out/download the latest podcast featuring us and many other talents at these locations (check out past podcasts while you're at it!):

Update (1-20-09)
Hello to all! Here's an update on the workings of Von Doom:
As you may or may not have heard, our debut EP "Second Sight" is now available! A big thanks goes to Jason Hooker and Dave Wolfe for making this all possible. Without you guys, there would be no EP, and it would be a lot harder to be "Von Doom". A thanks also goes out to all of you who showed up to the CD release party and/or bought the EP, Raina and Kaycee for helping out that night, and big props to Brandon (the newest addition to the band) for tearing it up on stage (everything sounded massive!). The release party was a great time, and there will be pictures of the show posted soon.
Our brothers in Metal, Our Own Blood, are throwing their CD release party at the Hawthorne Theatre on Saturday, January 31st, and we anticipate an awesome night of Metal crazyness, so try not to miss this one! Check out the concert calander for more info!
We also have another show coming up on Thursday, February 26th @ the Satyricon. Tickets will be $8 from any one of us or $10 at the door. More information will be posted on the concert calander when all of the bands are confirmed. As usual, I will let you all know when that happens.
If you were wondering just where to pick up the new EP, I have listed them below. Every digital outlet should have our EP uploaded by February 24th.
Thanks for reading. More news coming soon!

"Second Sight" EP - More Info!
Happy Friday everyone! We got some more updates for you about the new E.P. "Second Sight":
Jason Hooker has once again outdone himself for us. As you may know, Jason Hooker graciously accepted our offer to do our album art work after his impressive work with our first t-shirt (see our "Designs" album), which amazed everyone. Today, we have for you what is the "rough" version of what the art work will be for this E.P. (be sure to give a HUGE shout-out to Jason if you dig this!):
"Second Sight" will contain the following tracks:
1. Thirst Within
2. The Human Condition
3. We Will Fight
4. Be Broken
5. Straight Line Horizon
The tracks will be offered for individual sale online on our myspace page (and hopefully other web sites) either before or slightly after the release of the disc which will be January 15th. The disc itself will either run for $3 or $4 (we still are waiting to estimate the cost to us), and will be distributed for sale at our shows, online, and hopefully at your favorite local music store. More details on that will be announced when all of that becomes official.
As you may also know, David Wolfe is mixing, engineering, and mastering this for us, so if you are interested in doing business with him, feel free to contact us here or via our e-mail at: vondoomband@hotmail.com
More information is on the way. We'll let you all know when it arrives!

More Good Times!
You wanted some news from Von Doom? Here's the low-down:
We had a great time last week when we played two shows in a row! We would like to thank all of you who made it out to the show at the Satyricon, as well as the other performers, and we would especially like to thank all of our friends at The Candy Store for letting us come down and party with our friends Righteous Indignation and Our Own Blood! The highlight of that week, without a doubt, was being able to crank it out with our favorite local bands/people in Portland (which will now and forever be known in Portland as the Northwest Metal Tri-fecta, or Tri-Force). We can't wait to share the stage with our brothers in Metal again (sooner than you all think)! Pics of both shows will be posted soon.
The currently untitled E.P. is coming along great! We are wrapping up the guitar solos this week, then we are on to the bass next week! This promises to be a great collection of songs, and we can't wait to release this disc to the public soon (can you say RELEASE PARTY?!).
Von Doom is still seeking out a Rhythm Guitarist! If you or someone you know would like to audition, please let us know so we can set up a date and time.
As usual, keep your eyes open for more updates, as there are sure to be more coming soon!

Good Times/Bad Times
Hello again to all of you devoted fans and friends out there! Here's the latest from Von Doom:
We are sorry to report to you all that Rhythm Guitarist Adam Morris will no longer be playing with us. However, this will not detour us from playing the shows we are scheduled to perform (Oct. 16th and 17th), nor will it keep us from playing shows in the future.
If you are interested in auditioning for the Rhythm Guitar position, or if you know someone who you think would fit the bill, please contact us and let us know!
Much progress is being made on the E.P. Guitar tracks are still in the works (it will be worth the wait!) and we cannot wait for you to hear what we have in store for you! Keep your eyes open for updates on this project as there will be many.
Come on down to one of the two shows this October! We will be playing at the Satyricon on the 16th (show starts at 6:30pm, with Von Doom at 8pm; tickets are $8 from us or $10 @ door) and at The Candy Store on the 17th (show starts at 8:30pm with Von Doom at 8:45pm; cost is $5 at the door, and this show will be a pre-halloween pirate themed party; 21+). Also, a big thank you to all of our fans and friends who have been buying up the Von Doom t-shirts. We will be having these shirts available at our shows (in sizes YL-5XL, $15), but if you would like for us to sell you one via internet, lease message us so that we can make an arrangement for that. To see the design, check out our profile pics and click the "Designs" album.
As usual, check back regularly for updates, and check out our many photos we have posted (it's been over a year since Von Doom's first show!).
