Well in case you haven't bought your Eternal Punishment album at enough places yet,  here is one more option.  Eternal Punishment is now available at Napster.

Also the website Metal Rules has written a swell review of Eternal Punishment. You can check it out on the Reviews page or at the Metal Rules site.

You can now buy your Acantha tracks on iTunes.  So next time your updating porn and rap to your iPod, feel free to download a couple tracks.  Actually, fuck that, download the whole record, it's sounds great after a good porn on the tiny iPod screen.

Also the Metal Observer has torn apart Eternal Punishment with a harsh review.  Check it out here or on our Reviews page.

Take a look around the site as a few changes have been made and some more Pictures have been added.

Keep it tuned here for any new info that may arise from Acantha.  The site will be updated as any new info surfaces.

That being said,  if your into the MP3 downloading or listened to your friends copy of Eternal Punishment and only one or two songs slayed your ass, then you are about to raise an upside down frown.  You can now download individual songs from Eternal Punishment, or the whole album if that's what turns your crank.  Downloads are available at Rhapsody and Amazon.

 We have also made it a little easier for you European victims to get Eternal Punishment online.  It is now available at CDON.

And you can still get the album at CD Baby and at the eSlay store.

We now have Eternal Punishment for sale online on our Ebay E-SLay store and CD Baby. It is now possible to have your ass slayed without even having to move it out of your seat, although we do suggest you do once in a while to avoid losing pigment.

I hope you want more shows because we are playing more shows. These shows will be excellent shows.

- May 2 - Edmonton - The Mead Hall w/ Chosen & Miskatonic
- May 23 - Siksika - Nation Community Center All ages night of destruction
- June 26 - Edmonton - Avenue Skatepark All ages end of school slaughter
- August 1 - Vancouver BC - The Cobalt
- August 2 - Victoria BC - Logans Pub

When we are not playing shows we are writing the material that will become our second full length. It is still a long way from being finished, but what it seems to be forming itself into is monstrous and slaps a permanent smile on my face.
Stay tuned, I think it will be worth the wait.

Showtime! Spring is the time for flowers, love, rejuvination and ASS SLAYING!

- Friday, March 13 - A truly excellent night at the House of Metal (12925 55st, Edmonton) with FLEETING ARMS, SKEPSIS, DEATH TOLL RISING, EVOLETAH, and yours truly. Bring $10 to take part in the keg, or $5 to stay bone sober.

- Then on Saturday March 28, NECRONAUT is back with a vengeance, with ACANTHA and death metal newcomers BEFOULMENT to tear apart New City on Jasper Ave.

- THEN our good buds from Nuclear Blast DIVINITY are rampaging their way back to Edmonton, arriving at the Pawn Shop on Whyte Ave, and kicking ass with us and our brothers in metal, THE ORDER OF CHAOS.

This is going to be a sick couple months kids.

The first official review of Eternal Punishment has been written, which has consequently given us a really good reason to have a 'reviews' section on the site. Check out the new page, and / or visit the original link to the Exclaim! review here.

Better go out and get some new underwear folks. I can personally guarantee that they will be completely ruined by the end of this show.

Attention people of Red Deer. Your asses are about to be slayed.

In case you've been living in the swamp and haven't heard, February 7 marks a very ass slaying day that will go down in Acantha history. We, and our buds Death Toll Rising, are making the trek down to Calgary to humbly share the stage with the mighty BISON B.C. Mark it on your calendars folks: Saturday - February 7 - 8PM - Ass slaying of the century.

The day has finally come, all you headbanging, beer drinking, satan worshipping, cow fucking freaks! Our debut full-length, ETERNAL PUNISHMENT is finally done and ready to be dropped on the unsuspecting citizens of earth. We have been working on this for a ridiculously long time so you fuckers better like it.

We are planning other cd release shows for the spring so keep your eyes peeled for the day we arrive in your city/town/basement so you know when you have to purchase your ass-slaying-prevention kit by.

We also have a new website filled with all sorts of things that will most definitely slay your ass, so take a look around and good luck avoiding having your ass slayed.

We fucking love the internet! If you think your ass can handle some more slaying, visit one or all of these ass slaying locations.
