WWW.MYSPACE.COM/IADAPT
that's your space for the most recent info, new songs and going-on's
Hey everybody.
Yeah, this site has been slow for the longest time and not much going on other then a couple of news updates from time to time as well as gig info here and there.
With the traffic being so heavy on the whole myspace side of internet-life most of our internet presence is to be felt over there. But we love band web-sites and we want to keep this one going with Valli (web master). We've yet to figure out how to make a band website offer something thaat myspace can't and also how to make it an attractive alternative and source for you guys and us. That remains to be seen but I expect something to materialize in the coming months so stay tuned on that.
Or new full length, CHAINLIKE BURDEN is out on cd in the US and Iceland. Can't believe how relieved we are to finish the whole thing finally with the help of many good people of course. It should also be available here and there in Canada.
DISTROS!!: get in touch with www.morphius.com if you want to carry Chainlike Burden in your distro.
All you normies can get a copy from www.interpunk.com, insound and amazon.
CHAINLIKE BURDEN is available in Iceland from 12 Tónar, Geisladiskabśš Valda and Smekkleysa and naturally at I Adapt shows.
For any additional info in Chainlike Burden and international orders get in touch with mammathin@mammathin.net
Listen to Chainlike Burden (stream) here: www.mammathin.net
Quite a lot of local shows, US tour and stuff coming up so check the show section here and on myspace. Please add us on www.myspace.com/iadapt. We wont spam you with useless crap nor post automatic comments with huge images in your comment section.
I (Birkir) updated my blog spot on iadapt.net . Check it out. Also, some reviews have been added
That's it for now.

NEWS AND INFO OVERLOAD 15/01/2007
Everybody. We scrambled together all the latest news to make this huge package of info. If you need to know about anything regarding the latest going on's, read through this bad boy.
Below you will find a new video, a new song, pre-orders for our furst US release ever, words from the media, etc.
Thank you for your time.
So this isn't a "normal" show for I Adapt. We (amongst tons of other quality bands of all styles) played for a cause last night, a show to raise awareness about this practice/show/art space that the city refuses to support. It's closing down because of depts. That means that more than 50 bands lose their space to practice, the only independent venue for DIY shows with a proper p.a. and a soundguy will be history etc.
So the guy that runs this place got a huge dowtown venue to do this very prolific show and get people to take notice. It was a free show, huge high stage and a metal-light-tech-guy as you will see in this video.
This is us playing the song Familiar Ghosts for the first time ever.This same video contains a song from a death metal band called Severed Crotch and extreme metallers Changer. Our friend Gussi shot this video. Thank you Gussi!
Enjoy:

Til žeirra sem gįfu okkur gaum į stóru TŽM tónleikunum į laugardaginn:
Heyriši, žetta var bara helvķti skemmtilegt og mögulega gagnlegt. Viš rifum kjaft um įstandiš en žvķ mišur geršu bara 2 önnur bönd žaš aš mig minnir. Žar sem klukkan var aš ganga ellefu žegar višr viš byrjušum žį tókum viš 15mķn sett, žar sem aš Severed Dick og Senser voru į eftir okkur. Žannig aš helmingurinn af žvķ sem viš ętlušum aš spila var ekki spilašur. Aš žvķ sögšu žį tókum viš eitt nżtt lag śt til žess aš spila Afraid To Leave fyrir slammarana žarna śti žvķ aš viš įttum engan vegin von į stemmningu sem žessari. Žetta įtti allt aš vera nż eša "óvinsęl" lög fyrir utan Historical Manioulation In A NIce Suit.
Žetta var mjög gaman, Birkir žarf aš syngja eins og mašur en ekki eins og ónżt prumpublašra en I Adapt vonar aš sjį ykkur öll sömul sem oftast į nęstu mįnušum žvķ viš viljum kynna ykkur fyrir nżja efninu og get you into it.
I Adapt žakkar öllum sem męttu til aš leggja mįlstašnum liš, horfa og hlusta į allt listafólk dagsins, žeim sem gįfu okkur gaum, žeim sem hrysstu į sér spikiš og fólkinu sem kom nįlęgt svišinu og gerši žetta heimilislegra, tölum ekki um žau sem sungu meš, gripu ķ mękinn og grżttu sér af svišinu. Meira svona.

THE NEW I ADAPT SONG, Familiar Ghosts
Go to: www.myspace.com/cabalrecords
Tell us what you think. Hope you enjoy it. Lyrics readily available on www.iadapt.net
This is what the press has been saying about us after our performances at the last year Iceland Airwaves festival:
"I Adapt never fail to deliver a great set. This time around they
played a new song (Ape City) and singer Birkir promised the audience a
brand new one would be premiered at Nasa on friday, adding a sarcastic
comment that this alone would justify the 7000 krónur entrance fee.
The audience went berserk to their new heavier sound, jumping from
chairs and crowd surfing and generally behaving as it was the best
time of their lives. Which it probably was. Their set ended as Birkir
dove right into the crowd, allowing them to carry him above their
heads." - Grapevine magazine
"So, what is this shit? Personal preference aside... who puts I Adapt,
a band that arguably performed the best at last years Airwaves, on at
20:45? At Nasa? A moron if I“ve ever heard of one... But anyway. I
Adapt delivered a great set to the select few. They performed a brand
new song which went down well with the select few who showed up. Their
sound is a lot more heavy-metal than before without losing their
distinctive hardcore sound. The people in attendance were probably,
funnily enough, the intelligent bunch of the Airwaves crowd - knowing
which bands to see. in short: I Adapt make your heart move like nobody
else can and if not... well... then your heart is somewhere it
shouldn“t be." -Grapevine magazine
Remember last bulleting including a quote from Kerrang! magazine. Well they had more to say about the subject:
".... There's a purity and unpretentiousness to te scene that you simply don't find in cities like London, New York or Los Angeles, and a joyous sense of music being made for music's own sake. Keep an eye out for the likes of We Made God, Gavin Portland and I Adapt in these pages in the weeks and months ahead ad thanks to everyone at Iceland Airwaves for one of the best weekends ever." - Kerrang!
We wonder if they will ever get in touch with us and do a I Adapt interview. God bless 'em.
The heathen Gods, Thor and Odin backed us up last year and got us into some mainstream media publications quite a few times. Here's the latest in aforementioned department, some glorious words we got the hold on.
From KERRANG! magazine:
ICELAND AIRWAVES '06
NASA, REYKJAVĶK, ICELAND
20.10.06
"OUR LIVES (KKK) warm up tonight's events wth their energetic blend of pop and metal. But their efforts are eclipsed by the kings of Iceland's hardcore scene I ADAPT (KKKK) wo reach a boiling point with their cathartic blasts of inventive hardcore. You wonder why they aren't higher placed on the bill..."

Plenty of plentyness 18/10/2006
Dear all of you.
Things have been realatively quiet around I Adapt lateley but that is about to change real soon.
The band is working on alot of new material of wich some will appear on a split 7" coming out in the states in november. It will include new recording of Historical Manipulation as well as two new songs. More news on that later.
Believe it or not, this week we'lll start a process that will finish our tracls for the much delayed full length Chainlike Burden, out on Cat 'N' Cakey in the UK. Vocal tracks will be recorded this week and the mixing progress will wake up from a long sleep inside the safety of the elvin forrest.
The super limited Lp version of No Pasaran just surficed in Germany. It's available from the legendary Coretex record shop, and this ain't no lie! We're not telling you this cause we think limited releases are cool. The thing is that the label that origianlly released No Pasaran on vinyl, died on us. We haven't heard from the label in almost three years wich needless to say prevents us from selling this fine records at shows and on tour.
Get in touch with Coretex: http://www.coretexrecords.com/
go to: Schnellsuche and write I Adapt. Like we said, this Lp is extremely limited.
Airwaves is a three day hipster music festival in Reykjavík. Once again I Adapt is playing. This time around we'll air material no one has heard before. Unlike last year, we're playing early. We would greatly appreciate it if you came out. We promise you will be challanged and far from disapointed.
Playing Where and When:
Place: Nasa
Day: Friday
Time: 20:45
Info on the festical: http://icelandairwaves.com
Remember, this is the weekend you'll sell your soul
I Adapt featured in The Reykjavík Grapevine online!
Yes, the band is featured on the index page http://www.grapevine.is/ ... scroll down and look for us on the lower right side of said page. They have some nice things to say about us and we appreciate it.
Make sure to frequent this website and pick up Grapevine whenever you see it. It's for free and it's good read. Wich is a a rare thing...
Last show was great. We played the much praised Sköllfest 2006 and the reaction to our set was both heart warming and crazy. Sweat dripped off the walls and many singalongs echoed through the night. For this we are very greatful. The new songs went down well and we felt people were really listening to them. Thank you!

That's it for now. The silence has been broken for the time being.
See you soon

More news on 9-11 06/03/2006
Dear you
The release of our new record, Chain Like Burden has been delayed. That is very unfortunate but Birkir was unlucky enough to catch a throat virus and hasn't been able to record a word.
The rest of the boys did wonders and the recordings sound massive. It's being mixed as we speak.
The artwork for this record has to be seen to be believed. We got far more than we bargained for. It's deep and moving.
So there you have it. The record is called Chain Like Burden and these are the names and correct order of songs:
FUTURE IN YOU
SUBJECT TO CHANGE
HISTORICAL MANIPULATION IN A NICE SUIT
NO COURAGE IN HATE
SINKING SHIP
SAME AS IT EVER WAS
CLOSE TO HOME
03.03.05
THOUGHT TIME WOULD FORGET
SNAKES AND INTENTIONS

I Adapt Recording their 3rd record 24/02/2006
We are in the studio these days recording 10 songs for our new record. The studio that we“re working in is really professional and has the best recording gear, so we“re hoping to get a killer sound on the new songs.
This album is gonna be different from the other two. We have some really fast and aggressive songs, but most of the songs are slower than the usual I Adapt, heavy and melodic. We are hoping to release this monster in april, but we“ll see how it goes.
The artwork is in the making, UK tour in april, the new record will be released on a UK label, 7" release in the US later this year and hopefully something more.
More on this later....
take care
