We are starting 2009 with a BANG!!!

We have some GREAT news... our song "Head Spin" from Two Headed Monster has been included on the NCIS Soundtrack!!!.

NCIS is currently the #1 TV series in the US with 20 million viewers per week. NCIS has used Collide's music in Abby's lab since the inception of the show, so we are super thrilled to be included on the soundtrack.

The soundtrack is a 2 disc CD. Disc two features music from Abby's Lab. Abby (Pauley Perrette), is the ultra loveable perky goth, who works in the forensics lab and listens to cool music, including Collide.

All of the music on the soundtrack is set for prominent placement in NCIS episodes beginning in January. You can hear Collide on the show on Tuesday Jan 6th 8pm ET/PT. At the end of the show they will announce the music featured on that nights show.

The NCIS website is very cool and interactive with the entire track listing, NCIS Soundtrack News, Artists Bios, 90 second clips of each song, links to fan sites and artists websites, and song lyrics available for those songs with vocals.

The soundtrack is now available on Amazon for Pre-Order.

Thanks to all of you people who have been playing along in the monthly contests. We know there is tons of talent out there.

For Jan 2009 we have a brand new contest to make a Collide T-shirt. Catch all the details & prize information at the forum.

Thanks so much to all the people who entered December's contest which was to make a banner for Saints & Sinners. The winner not only made a great banner but also designed a new logo & symbol for Saints & Sinners. Thanks Switch5.

Chain DLK

"TWO HEADED MONSTER could well be the breakout album for Collide, bringing them a much broader fan base than just the dressed in black set. One well-placed track on a TV series or a movie soundtrack could propel them into the spotlight. Unlike a lot of bands who achieve "overnight success", if TWO HEADED MONSTER is any indication, Collide are ready for it." Read the full review here.

"This is what Cristina Scabbia's side-project with Trent Reznor might sound like." Read the full review here.

Just wanted to take a moment to say thanks...and wish you Happy Holidays!!

Peace, love & art in the new year.

We're still working hard on getting the word out there about "Two Headed Monster". We put three new reviews up on our reviews page from Bite Me, Radio-Active-Music, and The Triskelion Society.

If you've already got your copy, then tell your friends to get it. Tell your grandma, tell your hamster, tell your favorite dominatrix. Post a blog somewhere...we really appreciate all of your help.

And don't forget to sign up for the Collide mailing list, because from time to time we send out discount codes for the store, and other news you probably need to know. The mailing list is on the bottom right of the page at Collide.net, which is probably where you are right now.

"...some of the band's best work to date, "Two Headed Monster" offers some of their most intricately written songs, while still maintaining that classic Collide sound."-Radio-Active-Music

"The fourth studio release from, the appropriately dubbed “darkwave” band, Collide is a must have for your scene music collection. Industrial sounds and melodic rhythms by Statik blended with the often haunting, never disappointing vocals of kaRIN form the perfect audio soundtrack (minus some sounds of pain of course) for your next bondage and flogging scene."-The Triskelion Society
