Braggard Come Hither

     As the dark sun burns in the face of adversity, under executive order from XONRAD himself, the engineering of the impish trio led by Puckfist was hastily brought to completion.
     In the planning of how to unleash them, Puckfist did us all proud by escaping his security detail and releasing a hostile warning to his arch enemy, Santa Claus. Rest assured minions and henchmen, this is just one of his many arch enemies.
      His resilliant attempt to defile the X-Mass season has made many of us teary with joy at the potential he and his cohorts, Mr. Rotund and Stumps, are already eagerly 'exuding'.


Progressus - Series II  


Gates of Fire Gates of Hell


    June, Little Timmy and a containment team standing before the Gates of Hell. That is how the great underworld adventure was to begin, yet sadly, it all went tragically wrong.
    It is apparent now, after a lengthy examination, that the Gates were opened prematurely. Investigations have determined that all involved were still in the final moments of preperation and equipment revision when the breach occurred. As a result of these cowardly actions from a foreign saboteur the Gate Opening proper had to be aborted. Little Timmy was severely injured during the ensuing devastation and is currently recovering and rehabilitating in an unnamed secluded facility.
     We announce with great sorrow that all of the minions within the assigned team perished while protecting Timmy. During the approximate two weeks of carnage, they suffered horribly to the last. The identity of the saboteur is known and further information is already online within the private compound network for any and all minions eager to take part in what action will be taken. Key Henchmen are still involved in the lengthy task of cleaning up the desecrated site, although all agree in the heirarchy: A matter of this gravity regarding minions will proceed ONLY in the direction that best satisfies the wishes and integrity of the minion populace.

Neighbouring facilities will remain quarantined until this matter has been resolved. This includes the Cutting Room and Mr. Smiley teams.

Mystery Orphan Hellbound

 
    Rumours surfaced at the beginning of the year that XONRAD had purchased an orphan baby to undergo advanced minion training for an alleged jettison into the 9 hells.  This rumour was soon put to rest when an official press conference was held by RockErode Productions.
     "The rumours are untrue and the child in question is not a baby.  He is 9 years old and his name is Timmy," said the official minion. "Little Timmy is a very willing participant in our endeavours and is in no way tied up in the black market trade of child slave labourers."
    It was not made clear how Timmy was to be involved in the recent minion activity that has sequenced an extensive mapping of the nefarious realms as well as the cosmos at large.  A subsequent communique from XONRAD himself affirmed that a most glorious undertaking was underway.

WE WABT YOU: Current Positions Open for Advancement Training to Second Tier Minions: WARLORD/ROCKSTAR/MEDIA SPIN DOCTOR/THEOLOGICAL REFORMER  
2 Fingers In Dyke Discovered

    Irony of ironies.  The search in 2006 for two capable auteurs came to a fruitful discovery.  The very talent required was indeed not to be found from far or wide, but in the guise of the Dutch Brothers (of no actual relation) in the currently undisclosed coastal town of Australia that had been absorbed into the Love Cult fold the previous year.
    Loyal minions continue to sift through the expanse of archival material in the vaults and some gems of true genius have already begun development in the talented hands of the Dutch Brothers (of no actual relation).


Dead or Alive

    It seems a fervour of tooth fairy hate crimes have been perpetrated in the secluded villages and towns of third world nations across the globe.  Reeducation materials are being devised to combat this ignorance.

Alter-Ego Possession

    Are you a psychotic freak?  A recent study says you very well might be.  If you have ever had an imaginary friend, talk to yourself (with or without puppet aids), or generally behave in a manner that leaves you to question your decision moments after you have acted upon them, you could be vulnerable to Alter Ego Possession.  Minions investigating the psychological precursors of the race, or 'human zoo' as they like to call it, are devising an effective form of treatment that they say is heavily influenced by the actual approach to public awareness to the problem in the first place.
    Until treatment is available it is up to you to make an effort at not indulging your psychosis.


Volcanic D.I.Y. Done

    Renovations to the volcanic lair have been completed, both internally and topside.  Along with the three year construction of the step-pyramid temple, a surprise expansion of minion recreation facilities and magnetic mining operations were also completed.  Minions have been given a week long abscence of duty to familiarise themselves with the additional toys in the refurbished compounds and to partake in a general rejoicing in the glory of XONRAD and his Fire Label.  New and improved uniforms were also issued.

 
Smiley Spanking

    The following statement was released by Mr. Smiley: "I told you not to pester me! I warned you didn't I!?! I have reported a few disobedient minions and they are feeling the blistering kiss of the spank machine as I speak. As a further result, the tribute to Devinco will be delayed.  Don't push your luck a second time!"

Devinco Prologue

    Having experienced the dark and brooding end of Devinco, the call for a greater history on his life has grown ever stronger.  The birth of his independence, as touched upon in his Epilogue, along with the subsequent awakening experiences he experienced have been documented and are being proofed for green light status in the long awaited biographical tribute to Devinco.
 
New Blood for Drakulia

   Fact is often stranger than fiction.  In the ongoing erudition on the history of the Voivode Vlad Tepes Drakulia affirmation has been reached on the bloodline peculiarities that make the fictionalised condition of vampirism seem like a frivolous skin blemish.  Further astounding discoveries about the Wallachian hero have been restricted and await complete correlation for public consumption.

You Don't Know Jack!

    Jack Russel! Do you know who he is? Probably not, but that is the name striking mortal fear into the hearts of many.  The dread of such a name is due to his anti-activist activism and those in possession of such anxiety are the anti-establishment establishment.
    This elusive character has chosen to communicate his extremist values through RockErode Productions and as a result the Fire Label must state that it is in no way involved in the development or execution of Jack Russel shenanigans, although it is fully supportive of his sentiment!

Wicked Snowman Expedition

   Antarctica, the southern wastes of frostbitten splendour hold as much mystery and wonder today as it did to the distant ancestory of the most vaunted of ancients themselves.
    In an effort to allow the flame of RockErode Productions to renourish itself after penetrating the brooding sphere of Devinco’s Epilogue, the idea was grasped upon to make a foray into the icy realm and establish a counter-fire label temple independent of XONRAD’s empire.
    While conjuring the Snowman culture to be, extensive preparations were made that have spread the influence of XONRAD from the south pole to the tropics.
    Unfortunately, XONRAD decreed a end to the expedition to prevent a team, deficient in psychological and practical ability, to undertake the adventure.  Retrospect has revealed the inevitable casualties that would have occurred in the event of continuation.
    But fear not as cancellation amounts to no failure on the part of preparedness and passions of the Love Cult.  With a zero tolerance for compromise in integrity and self-conduct you can rest assured that this was merely the first step in the tranquil conquest of the forgotten continent.

Voivode Mysterium

    Sensitive information and artifacts behind the true nature and history of the Voivode Vlad Tepes Drakulia have come into the hands of the Fire Label.  Restorative minions have been assigned to this task and further revelations are to come.

  A new order has been instigated & elite training has begun. Are you capable of spotting psychological degenerates on sight? Can you handle the extermination of miscreants? Are you passionate about rooting out infidels? The Ordo Malleolus is looking for minions with a penchant for sadism & problem solving. All applicants reviewed personally by the Grand Inquisitor under the auspices of XONRAD: INQUISITORS WANTED

Cultural Vaults Opened

    In this turbulent world of modernity the masses often forget that their follies and misfortunes are simple and self evident.  The Cutting Room vaults have been unlocked and initial sorting through these cultural archives for global illumination have begun.
 
Dorothy In Chains

    A vortex was discovered into the land of Oz. A legion of minions have since subdued and enslaved the indigenous peoples of this realm.  A state of enraptured submission has swept across the many lands and reeducation camps are in full swing.
 
J.D. Green Expo '05
Are you crazy about your greens?  Come to our expo and meet like minded obsessive compulsives.  Special Guest appearance by the creator of J.D Green himself and an unveiling of the mighty Spirit of 57 Rotor Deluxe.



    Ailens?  Illumaniti?  Step aside Area 51, footage of giant kittens with abnormal combative behaviour was caught on tape.  Footage of this unbelievable event was sequestered by an unnamed henchman for verification and processing.  Multiple henchmen have been assigned to deal with processing in this matter. It is advised that you refrain from contacting the Fire Label unless you have clear documented proof relating to this event.  Please, do not provoke the henchmen.

Secret Community Embraces Love Cult

    In a strange turn of events, with the stoking of the RockErode Productions flame, a secluded town on the east coast of Australia embraced the Love Cult of Xonrad and a subsequent base for RockErode Productions was installed into this as yet undisclosed area.
    With the introduction of the flame a renaissance of the region's incredibly rich history and culture, as well as its contemporary machinations, are being collated for posterity sake.  Future revelations to the rest of the world of this seemingly impossible cultural oasis are also under contemplation.

Devinco Finally

    An astounding first look into the life of DEVINCO is actually, his last. The controversial decision to summarise those final dark days were not taken lightly XONRAD says: "When the new discoveries were brought to my attention I knew that the only way to truly honour Devinco was to expose the truths to the world in all their brutality. And I say brutality in the philosophical sense, not the literal.  His end has been depicted in the same spirit that he embodied during the rest of his life prior to these events; With a preference for dignity over the cruder acts and expressions others perpetrate."
    The Epilogue of Devinco was presented in his native dialect.

Dorothy No So Innocent?

 The previously unrestricted inquiry into the sanguine crimes of Dorothy and her ties to the world of witchery have taken an unexpected turn.  The nature of the case is of such nefarious repute that it is currently prohibited for further public consumption.
  Smiley 4 Devinco

  Longtime friend of Devinco and recluse Mr Smiley has stepped into the limelight to honour the spirit of Devinco with a twist.  Mr Smiley has given no further details other than the following statement: "You will 'get it' when it is ready, until then don't pester me with questions."
  Loki in Love... Cult

In a surprise communique, Loki has released an origins manifesto as a token of allegiance to XONRAD and the Fire Label.

Devinco The Last

   While the documentation of Devinco's life had been put into effect, a misinterpretation halted all practical proceedings.  While the delay caused a momentary air of dismay, the discovery that these discrepancies actually lay in texts regarding the once-believed-to-be unknown final days of his life have caused a total reexamination of his profound character.

Holistic Enlightenment Camp
Yes, you too can understand the true nature of angelicism and the upper tiers of spiritual evolution.  Purge the childhood lies from your soul and embrace the truth.

DISCLAIMER: If you are incapable of keeping your hand behind the red roped boundaries, decapitation may occur.  Not suitable for Children!

Holy Loki?

   While a silence has been maintained from the Loki camp, rumours have been circulating that he and his domain have embraced the current rise in angelicism truths, yet in a heretofore unknown way and possibly following completely unknown discipline.  High level henchmen are not releasing information on whether or not they are aware of Loki's whereabouts or activities.

Explosive Ass

   A surprise turn of events led minions to apprehend an incompetent hitman.  Due to the heroic efforts of the minions involved (honoured in full glory at this year's Infernus Festival) the assassin known only by his codename "Dumb Ass" was subdued and quickly whisked away for internment processing.  Subsequently the rate of unexplained explosions dropped to zero.  One casualty occurred during his final act, all minions can rest easy as it was a civilian completely unassociated with the Fire Label.

Forest Fire Friends

    Little fact is truly known of the habitation and social aspects of daemoni bound to the material world.  In an effort to document this phenomena and condition XONRAD established the Fire Label that is RockErode Productions, and led a major expedition into a secluded natural reserve to discover more.
    While the research undertaken was a success, the expedition was waylaid by a unique band of brigands and a snake oil merchant.  While trying to ply their trade amongst XONRAD and his minions where they were unwelcome XONRAD chose to incinerate the entire wooded region to cleanse the world of these miscreants and their greasy fingers.
    The resident daemoness was given refuge and once regenerative therapy is complete she will be released back into the wild.

Pygmy Prison Paradise

    A secret concentration camp that involved reeducation and forced labour has been discovered in an undisclosed European nation with strong evidence that sister camps are active across North America.  RockErode Productions is currently in the process of acquiring these industrial assets.

 
Bad Taste in Space

    When a gathering of initiate minions took place in the form of a b-grade costume ball nobody could have expected the horrific spectacle that ensued.  Despite the best efforts of on-site minions, the situation escalated to a subversive scale.  As a result all initiates involved were descreetly disposed of and minions afflicted by the traumatic event were given official pardons of duty with their choice of rehabilitation vacation packages and duty transfer opportunities.

Loki's 5 Step Exterminate Shuffle

    In a public statement regarding black marketeers the Fire Label decreed that it stands firm with Loki and his rightful claim to previously alluded to artifacts.  Early in the year a battalion of minions were assigned to Loki to pursue and document his vendetta.  Further details have been classified.

 
Double Trouble

    How do you travel in the land of doppelgangers?  Did you know such a nation even existed?
    A cooperative venture into this realm revealed a rancid underbelly to western society that moral communists do not want you to know about.  While much of the information collated has been reserved for minion training, the following dictum has been released as a service to the general public:  Warning signs of active doppelganger cells can be evidenced in the obvious look-alike personage, facilitated alcoholism, geographic proximity to karaoke, and a volatile midget mascot.
    RockErode Productions and the Love Cult of XONRAD do not endorse the misuse or misrepresentation of midgets.
Devinco At Last?

    After years of rumour and intrigue a statement was released that the magnanimous life of the revered individualist Devinco will be documented for posterity sake.  The details concerning how his vast tale will end up being presented to the public is still a topic of debate.

Voyuer Vocation

    Do you believe in ghosts? A rise in paranormal activity unsettled minions within their residential zoning area.  An unidentified young woman took it upon herself to wonder about in search of a phantom apple.  That's right, an apple.  Tranquility was restored when the afflicted soul was sequestered for reeducation by top ranking henchmen.
