THE GOSPELS OF THE GASH 2XCD-UPDATE
Never let it be said that the process of pressing a CD is an easy task. To give you some insight into what is entailed when dealing with professional pressing facilities, here's a little anecdotal tale of how the last couple of days went for me:
Jason received the masters from Jasse toward the end of last week and sent them expressmail to Discmakers on Saturday.
I had previously sent a link to a zip file containing the layout to our contact there, but Jason had found out after we never heard anything back that this person was no longer working there. He re-established communication with someone else, and forwarded their info to me.
I then sent the same link to this new person, along with some questions I had previously asked regarding certain specifications I needed to make sure were going to be possible. Jason later told me they had received the audio master and Discmakers wanted me to upload the artwork to their site. I didn't really get why this extra step was necessary when I'd already sent a link to the artwork, but shrugging my shoulders, I went ahead and tried to upload the artwork.
However, when I attempted to do so late Sunday night, I received error messages stating the account number and quote ID I was entering were incorrect. I sent Jason an email informing him of this, and waited for the next day to come. Jason responded to me early Monday morning saying as far as he knew, the info I was entering was correct. I had already attempted to upload again by this time, and it still wasn't working.
I called Discmakers and asked about this situation, and was told after some waiting that the website had recently been updated, and it was possible that my upload attempt was being made simultaneously to the update, causing some kind of error.
When I attempted to upload again, the website was even more screwed up than it had been the night before, so I called back and told the same person I'd spoken to earlier. He did some checking with the IT department and confirmed that there was something wrong with the site and it would be fixed as the day progressed. He said I could try uploading again later and if it didn't work, they would use the link to my zip file as a last resort.
Why they couldn't simply bypass the whole issue with the site by downloading the file from my server, I can not say, but I guess they just preferred to make life difficult.
The next day, I was contacted by another person at Discmakers, informing me that the artwork had been received and the process would finally begin, and I'd get proofs by Wednesday, and assured that it was very likely we'd be able to get the album out in time for the THEOLOGIAN show in Philadelphia next Friday
.
Tuesday afternoon, I was again contacted by this someone else at Discmakers and informed that it had been discovered that our audio master exceeded 78 minutes, the industry standard for maximum audio CD length, as recommended by the 'Red Book,' because although Compact Discs are capable of holding 80 minutes of audio, certain consumer players can't handle this much data and may not be able to play discs longer than 78 minutes. Jason later discovered that they had never accounted for the fact that this was a DOUBLE CD, but aside from that it was the second disc that was apparently over 78 minutes, by a mere 52 seconds.
I tallied my copy of the master, which was under 78 minutes, and replied that although I didn't have a copy of the final master (Jason later sent me the files via email), it was doubtful that Jasse had extended any of the tracks so much as to increase the overall length. Once I checked the copy that Jason had sent, I found that some tracks were longer than my original and others were shorter, but it was simply a matter of silences at the begiining and end of certain tracks. Easily edited. I sent screencaps from iTunes, comparing the two masters, but was told there were lead-in and lead-out times that I was not taking into account.
Jason was leaving for vacation on Wednesday morning, so we had to make a decision whether we'd send in a new edited master (which I worked on in the wee hours of Tuesday night), or if we'd simply sign a waiver absolving Discmakers of responsibility for any issues inherent in a disc longer than 78 minutes. The ONLY problem we were told that MIGHT arise was the possibility that certain people would have playback problems with their discs. However, we were told there had never been any reports of problems of this nature from other discs exceeding 78 minutes in length.
We decided to go ahead with the 78:52 master and take our chances. Jason said he'd deal with the problem if there was one later on.
Later that day, I had another call from the new contact at Discmakers, informing me that the artwork I had submitted was in a DVD template. Yes, I know that, it's a two-tray DVDigipak. I was asked, but isn't your master and audio CD? Yes, that is correct, I said.
Okay, let me check with our art department and clarify this, I was told. I later received an email saying because the DVDigipak has to be printed out of house, Discmakers had no control over the turnaround time, and there was no way of knowing whether it could be finished in time for our release date.
It would have been nice to have been told this during the last half year that Jason and I have been in touch with Discmakers on this project, but it's obviously par for the course.
Today, I finally sent in the waiver, after some ridiculous email tag with our new project manager, and there are a lot of details that I'm leaving out (I couldn't make this shit up if i tried).

love is nothing./C.I.R. SPLIT CASSETTE
love is nothing. (ex-NTT, THEOLOGIAN) presents "Dedicated to Megan Wright," inspired by Megan Wright, a gang rape victim who went on to commit suicide. Uncomfortable drones and bleak, industrial noise... exactly what we've come to expect from Leech, but taken in a slightly altered direction.
C.I.R. is an excorcism of 30 years of personal demons, culminated into rape, schizophrenia, religious fanaticism, and various forms of emotional torture. The four songs were recorded live in front of a small audience in Boston, MA. A truly uncomfortable and haunting experience, utilizing sound collage, Boyd Rice inspired delays, militant percussion, and wall of sound PE.
Edition of 50. three full color inserts included-- one for each artist, and one containing notes on Megan Wright and the C.I.R. performance.
$5ppd US / $7ppd world.

ADERLATING “The Nectar of Perversity Springs From the Well of Repression” CD
Those familiar with Gnaw Their Tongues already know of the bludgeoning power, and the complete and overwhelming darkness. Now, with ADERLATING, the man behind GTT begins a new chapter in depravity. Mining the same unholy regions, “The Nectar of Perversity Springs From the Well of Repression” features eight torturous expressions of horror, shared through black ambience, ritualistic expression and heavy electronic terror.
To put it in the words of the artist: ‘drone / horror soundtrack / noise. draining all the blood from your worthless body with nausea inducing 20 khz drones fistfucking distorted tapehiss raped soundscapes while the lowest and vilest of demons provide a diabolical orchestration to celebrate the death of everything‘.

THE GOSPELS OF THE GASH-02.01.09
"If everything is imperfect in this world, love is perfect in its imperfection"
- Squire Jöns, THE SEVENTH SEAL
With help from Lenny B of CENOTYPE, I've made some real progress with assembling copies of [NTT.FINAL PHASE]. The inside inserts should hopefully come in this week and then I can start wondering how I will afford to mail all of these out. Lenny also helped me organise a bunch of old orders, so i'll be working on getting as much stuff ready to ship as I'm able to, and as stated earlier, I will try to get all of this stuff out of my way by the end of February. Wish me luck, I've got a feeling I'm going to need it.
As previously mentioned, I've been working on tracks for the forthcoming remix/collaboration release YOUR SUFFERING WILL BE LEGENDARY during the past several weeks. The latest piece to come together is a collaboration with Italian darkambient project EIDULON (http://www.myspace.com/eidulon), who released the wonderful IDOLATRIAE album on MALIGNANT in 2008.
This track is shaping up to be one of my favourites, and like the collaboration with KNO before it, I'd like to share an early mix with those of you who are interested.

1. NTT. THE GOSPELS OF THE GASH 2XCD
The final and definitive double CD release from NTT, THE GOSPELS OF THE GASH chronicles one man's journey into a world devoid of light or hope. This is a place where the air is alive with the stink of pain and the beating of great black wings. The two discs compile material from a slew of limited releases from 2005-2007, as well as newer tracks recorded specifically for this release. THE GOSPELS OF THE GASH includes collaborations with various stalwart members of the NTT priesthood and more recent recruits, from AUTOCLAV 1.1 to CENOTYPE, COVET, FRAGMENT KING, and M SLAGLE.
Packaged in a two-tray DVDigipak with layout and artwork by Leech and Jorden Haley (www.karbine.com), this release is a fitting funerary rite for NTT.

The 2 CD companion to THE GOSPELS OF THE GASH, the final double album from NTT, coming soon from MALIGNANT RECORDS. Consisting of 16 collaboration tracks and remixes, these two discs boast a tracklist featuring phenomenal artists both obscure and infamous, who have joined forces with NTT to construct an epic of undulating drones and visceral screams.
Once again, NTT blurs the lines between the brutish intensity of power electronics and introspective dark ambient contemplations.
A harrowing journey across a bleak internal landscape of broken emotions and romantic tragedy, this release will only be available as part of THE GOSPELS OF THE GASH limited boxed edition.

KOERPERWELTEN - Avatars Of Rape And Rage
http://www.necroweb.de
CD Review zum neuen Album: KOERPERWELTEN - Avatars Of Rape And Rage
(Translated from German by Mark Kammerbauer)
Another of the numerous projects of our productive nordvargr is this one here, created together with leech (ntt).
since the previous nordvargr album disappointed me somewhat, i approached this release with caution, which proved pointless in the end. however, contrary to his main project under his name, koerperwelten (the name was taken from gunther hagens controversial exhibition of plastinated, mostly human bodies) operates on a much harsher note.
"avatars of rape and rage" is divided into two sections, the first of which is titled "rape", and the second "rage". the soundscapes are continuous yet still diverse in musical terms. the opener provides the consumer with a rather calm phase of introduction before the tempest breaks loose on "the forces of chastity are massing once again" which doesn't overwhelm yet provides an intense immersion. this track, next to "oestrus" and the coherent opener "the sun destroyers" comprises the best composition on this silver disc; the basic mood is, to a certain degree, rather gloomy. however, atmospheric waves do not break upon the listener. but this is something that shouldn't be expected with this kind of release. instead, the hidden potential exposes itself only after multiple rounds and the songs then can also convince. members of the noise faction should test listen here in any case, as the two gentlemen of koerperwelten please more and more with each listening. "avatars of rape and rage" has turned out to be a rather good piece of work and is infused by elements of harsh industrial, employed in a controlled and focused manner. In order to describe this work only two words are necessary - apocalyptic and threatening.
As always, thanks for looking and listening.
