There's always been talk of their second album getting a release (since apparently it was recorded before they split), but nothing ever appears. :(

United By Fate is definitely one of the best impulse buys I've ever made though, brilliant album.

I had only heard one track a couple of times on MTV and decided to buy the album when i randomly saw it in a store. Thank heavens I did.

Pretty sure we will never see the second album....ever:(

I'm listening to some samples of it at the mo, and the vocalist sounds like E, from the Eels, and Ken Andrews, from Failure. That's not a bad thing. I may check them out.

But as I already have a backlog of 7 albums to get through, and now the urge to buy some ken Andrews stuff (like his year of the rabbit album), it could be a while. It will be placed on "The List," a magical place where albums I want wait to be bought.

I'm a huge fan of "Used For Glue."

"used for Glue" is a fantastic song. I wish bands like this would stay together for longer than one fucking album. Fuck it they gave me one of my favourite albums ever so I'm pretty happy. Also "Undercovers On" is incredible.

I recently bought the album, but when will I get to it, I don't know. It better not suck though, because if it does you will all be responsible for me neg-repping B.D. Cletus non-stop for a week.

But if it is good, you will all get a pos rep. :y:

Of course it doesn't suck.

United Fate is probably one of my best impulse buys after I randomly picked it up in an HMV sale about 6 years ago. :y:

Yeah, but you like Cave In, so I already know that your taste in music is suspect :p

But I'm willing to go a little faith here... That, and I've bought the bugger. But the call of David Bowie and Cryptopsy are strong at the moment, so the album will have to wait awhile.

I finally got round to listening to their album, and it is pretty bad ass. Why didn't fuck-nuggets get me into them earlier? Ahhhh well, any news on the new album?

according to thier wikipedia page they played new material during their european tour. i gotta see if there are any live recordings out there. i thought that they were still looking for a label and were currently unsigned. i still listen to United by Fate on a regular basis.

I was stoked to hear they'd reformed. I will be seeing them in February at Soundwave, I cannot wait.

That festival is gonna rock so bad :'(

I saw them when they reformed, they played 2 new songs I think and a pointless How Soon Is Now cover, they were really good though, seing Far this month too.
