Morbid Eclipse was privileged to have Chip perform the same night with his Rock N’ Roll outfit Fancy Pants and The Evil Doers during their final show in this century (they will return one day far from now…don’t wait you won’t be around).

The Atomic Cult took special interest in this Inductees uncanny skills as a luthier, most notably exemplified by his design and construction of the Ugly Stick (seen above). This unparalleled rock instrument features alternating bass and guitar strings to produce a most out of this world sound. Owing to his ingenuity, the Atomic Cult has dispatched Chip to the Luthier District of M31, with long time Morbid Eclipse support WJW, to construct a new guitar for Z.Friedberg powered by plutonium and a flux capacitor.

Chip Ellis, welcome to the Atomic Cult.

Morbid Eclipse has found fertile ground in San Diego to sew the seeds of the Atomic Cult. When the heavy metal hot spot, Brick by Brick invited Morbid Eclipse to take the stage, they knew all in attendance would be forever changed. On December 19, 2014, a strong crowd stood by in anticipation for the Rites of Ascension and the following metal storm of Sentinel, Thanatology, and Eukaryst.

As the Rites began, the Atomic High Priestess of the 7th Galactic Order, Bri, prepared the ceremonial space sacraments for the new Inductee Tyler Hazen. Though unprepared for the honor that was about to be bestowed upon him, Mr. Hazen reveled in all aspects of the solemn ritual.

Following the radiation, emerald Skull of Seldon, glowing heavy water, and attention of the High Priestess, Mr. Hazen accepted his mission brief contained on a 21st Century data disc. With mission brief in hand, Mr. Hazen joined Morbid Eclipse in sonic tribute to the Atomic Cult.

Mr. Hazen’s first mission is highly classified, however we can tell you that it does involve sequin vests, sunglasses, several parachutes, and a full horn section. If you live in or around San Diego, you are encouraged to pay tribute to this esteemed Inductee when he presides over the Full Strength Funk Band.

New Inductee: Brandon Scott

MORBID RAISED SB-27 (1)

December 6, 2014 Morbid Eclipse arrived in Santa Barbara, CA fully prepared to bring sonic devastation without any of the pomp and circumstance surrounding the Rites of Ascension. However, as Morbid Eclipse approached their final destination, they spotted the brilliant golden aura of the Atomic High Priestess, Jen-For, and knew this could mean only one thing. A rare fluctuation in the fabric of space time had altered their timeline and an inductee had been selected to serve a key role.

MORBID RAISED SB-28

Inductee Brandon Scott traversed the path of ascension and engaged in the Rites with eagerness. The High Priestess anointed Mr. Scott with the ritual space sacraments and the inductee immediately felt a heightened level of consciousness course through him.

“Certain bands take a while to grow on a listener, but there are some for whom one mere performance is more than enough to create a long lasting impression. Orange County CA’s Morbid Eclipse most definitely comes under the latter, as this writer discovered first-hand at a garage show in Santa Barbara where the band put on a high-octane show of epic proportions and garnered the unanimous approval of first-timers. Their 2014 demo release ‘The Bomb Shelter Session’ destroys everything in its wake, and with a diverse blend of thrash, black, doom, sludge and death metal to go with an entertaining on-stage persona, Morbid Eclipse are set to turn some heads soon enough.”

Inductee Lothar Stevens has the notable distinction of having attended more Morbid Eclipse ceremonies than any other Inductee at the time this entry was written. Equally notable is Mr. Stevens proficiency as both a chemist and brewmaster. Both skills are highly revered among the Atomic Cult. For his first mission, Mr. Stevens has been given access to the brewery at 1st University to craft a celebratory ale honoring the scientific team responsible for testing the first hyper-drive engine prototype.
