The next plan for DEATHSQUAD was to release a full length album. The band however were quite suprised to discover that writing full length songs for a full length album is actually quite hard work. They were however, eventually to succeed. The killer being a learned and itellectual man was very up on politics and after coming up with a good riff, penned the song "Ronald Reagan" which was recorded and released as a christmas single on December 10th 1999. The killer when asked about his influences which had caused him to come up with the brilliant song cited a s**t sixties film and the former presidents amusing name as the lead inspirations. Deen described the songs heart warming nature as the reason for the decision to release it for christmas. For some reason there was no chart success. Scolerskimbal had started to feel like a bit of a dick, because he had still only written two songs for the band. So he wrote another five. One song, the happily titled "I deserve to die" was "written from the perspective of those c**ts who banned our last album from release" and was viewed as another song suitable for release as a single, which it promptly was on January 28th 2000. It was apparently responsible for sixteen teenage fans taking their own lives. Still, these things happen. "Some people take music very seriously, perhaps too seriously. "Dickheads" was Deens mature response to criticism. As the band began to accumulate more and more material, the goal of releasing their album came nearer and nearer.  Songs such as the rap metal "Get up" came from The killer whilst Scolerskimbal came up with such little gems as blues song "Tanzania" and heavy rock "Triops Longicaudatus" amongst others. Although Angel worked very hard on bass tracks for the songs, he was originally a six string guitarist, quite capable of writing songs, and so the band constantly harassed him for further material for the album. The best they could get out of him at that time was to co-write songs with The killer, such as the track "Punkers". What a lazy c**t Angel was.

As more material was accumulated the goal of the new albums released began becoming very real in the minds of the band. There was one obstacle that would have to be overcome before this could ever actually come to be - naming the new album. This proved to be a big problem, during one band meeting Deen was rumored to have got so stressed out over it that he actually ate a drumstick, chewing it into pieces and swallowing it as the group sat in a circle arguing over the name. One day Deen called Angel, Scolerskimbal and The killer round to his house and told them that they were going to stay up in his dining room, drinking until they came up with something. For the first eighteen hours they weren't drunk enough to really communicate with each other. Then the arguing began. By thirty six hours they had begun to hallucinate and Deen shot his dog, thinking it was an Ecuadorian tiger. At forty eight hours Scolerskimbal, now almost in tears screamed, "This is a vile perversity of justice Deen, doing this to us". The killer moaned, "This really is a very unorthodox way of coming up with a name". Angel couldn't hold back and exploded with emotion "Why are you allowing us to build up so much hatred, over such a s**tty little thing? Man." Then Deen said "we've done it." the rest of the band couldn't quite understand what Deen was on about. "You guys said it, Vile Perversity of Unorthodox Hatred". DEATHSQUAD accepted the new name and drank so much that they passed out. Scolerskimbal had an awful hangover.
