THE GOSPELS OF THE GASH - 10.28.10

"Endure, my heart, you've suffered more shameful things than this."
- Odysseus

I often find myself wishing i could just stop everything that i've set out to do and let it cease, so as to provide myself with a respite from the anxiety that comes along with everything i do. i wish there was more time, even when i only work 3 days of every week, i'm in school and the combined efforts of creating music, layouts, assembling packaging and fulfilling orders take their toll from time to time. if i could afford help on a regular basis, it would make things considerably easier, but at present it takes a lot for me to give up $40-$50 of my weekly pay for assistance. this is not a complaint, it's merely a statement of the facts. i have chosen these activities and without them, my life would be much less worth living.

NOW IN STOCK:
THEOLOGIAN. THE FURTHER I GET FROM YOUR STAR, THE LESS LIGHT I FEEL ON MY FACE CD (CRUCIAL BLAST)

Plus, a host of new distro items from CRUCIAL BLAST and others.

love is nothing. WITHOUT ME CD-R
The final mixing process has begun, undertaken by my good friend Kevin D. Reilly, Jr. at LAST STOP RR, concurrently with collaborative recording sessions with the members of TOURNAMENT. after these sessions are completed, i will finally record the vocal tracks. speaking of vocals, we've confirmed that my friend Janaki Uma Leah, daughter of the venerable KRISHNA DAS, who is herself a talented songstress and kirtan singer, will contribute vocals on two tracks. Janaki also happens to be Kevin's girlfriend and the mother of his son Bodhi. lastly, my friend Derek Rush of DREAM INTO DUST will be contributing guitar to one track. i've now decided that the deadline for completion of this release will be just prior to the BLEAK NOVEMBER tour.

As i've been preparing material for my forthcoming performances, i've been formulating plans for the next THEOLOGIAN full length, which will be called THE CHASMS OF MY HEART, which will be released by CRUCIAL BLAST in 2011.
Artwork for the cover has been contributed by my friend Kara Wooldridge:

The last piece of news is that the incredible artist, Ione Rucquoi, has agreed to let me use one of her pieces for a forthcoming release by THEOLOGIAN.

THE GOSPELS OF THE GASH - 10.11.10

"The philosopher, of all people, should welcome death, since it is the highest form of katharsis."

Lots of coolness to report this week.
because of logistical troubles getting the tracks to Fade before he left to tour with his band BATILLUS, CODE LEECH has been mastered by my good friend, the lovely and talented Kevin D. Reilly, Jr., at LAST STOP RECORDING & REHEARSAL, a home away from home located in beautiful Orangeburg, NY. this means copies will FINALLY start to ship THIS WEEK. my part-time assistant will be coming by tomorrow to help me pack orders. i'll be in Philadelphia on wednesday to see UNEARTHLY TRANCE, but i'll make it a point to get as many packages out as i can the following day. the ADERLATING shirts are still at the printers, but should be in hand fairly soon, and i'll do my best to begin shipping them immediately after. the audio is now essentially complete.

_________________________________


THEOLOGIAN+FRAGMENT KING. HERE MUSIC DIES-PREORDER PACKAGE



Preorder includes an all-new FRAGMENT KING "Rot" tshirt, with 60 minute cassette. Side A contains 30 minutes of sheer rage by longtime live member of NTT and collaborator under the guises of NEXICON and love is nothing., Mark Kammerbauer, the man behind ultra-heavy sonic deconstructor FRAGMENT KING, arrives on the craggy shores of hell with HERE MUSIC DIES.
Endless spite is filtered through soul-numbing distortion, accompanied by bitter, crisp electronic rhythms that glide across the edge that separates dark industrial, crushing metal and paranoiac breakbeat. This is the death of music.
Side B features tracks assembled by THEOLOGIAN using FRAGMENT KING source material.

Listen to an audio preview here.

_________________________________

As of now, there are currently three new preorder packages available (not counting CODE LEECH), all of which are fantastic.

THEOLOGIAN+ADERLATING. A CHORUS OF BEAUTIES SINGS TO ME THROUGH SLIT THROATS

THEOLOGIAN+FOUR PI MOVEMENT. THE DESTROYER

THEOLOGIAN+FRAGMENT KING. HERE MUSIC DIES



this will be the last preorder offered before the BLEAK NOVEMBER EAST COAST MICRO-TOUR, other than the forthcoming collaboration with AUTHOR & PUNISHER, which i hope to have out in time for the tour. the final preorder package of 2010 will be the THEOLOGIAN+STROM.EC release.
_________________________________


THEOLOGIAN has participated in the awesome and extremely ambitious COUNTERFEIT web release by NYC band DREAM INTO DUST. The release features six different mixes of the new track COUNTERFEIT, along with a very excellent video for the original version. i've known Derek Rush of DREAM INTO DUST for many many years, and i am honoured to have participated in this project. we've got plans for future collaborations, and i've asked Derek to record guitar for one of the tracks on the forthcoming love is nothing. release.

check out COUNTERFEIT here.


_________________________________

Speaking of love is nothing., TOURNAMENT are back at LAST STOP this week, and i hope to get them to wrap up work on the track to which they're contributing their prodigious talents fairly soon. Carrie Ingber, without whom this release would not exist, will hopefully join us in the studio as well, to help finish up some of the other pieces. i'm still hoping/planning to get this thing done by the end of October, but if it's not, you'll know why.

More acts have been added to various stops along the BLEAK NOVEMBER MICRO-TOUR, and it also became necessary to change venues for the New York show, to a much nicer venue with a real sound system.
