THE VOMIT ARSONIST. THE FINAL PAGE CD-R REISSUE
Reissue of this excellent release, containing painfully heavy, vitriolic and guttural material by THE VOMIT ARSONIST. Originally co-released with the TRAUMATIC CREATIONS label, this new run features a slightly different layout and will be out in time for THE VOMIT ARSONIST's June 2011 tour.

love is nothing. WITHOUT ME CD-R
After a long period of inactivity, Lee M. Bartow's drone/metal project, love is nothing. returns with this surprisingly accessible and "poppy" release. Featuring extensive collaborative input by Carrie Ingber, former bassist of Brooklyn's ZAMBRI (who played synths in S.H.R.I.K.E., the very first band formed by Lee Bartow back in 1991), as well as guitar contributions by Mike Hill of TOMBS, John LaMacchia of CANDIRIA and SPYLACOPA, Derek Rush of DREAM INTO DUST and members of TOURNAMENT, and vocal contributions by Janaki Kagel, daughter of KRISHNA DAS, this is going to be a profound departure from previous love is nothing. releases.

Ranging from actual dance tracks to heart-rending shoegaze, drawing heavy inspiration from such acts as THE CURE and JOY DIVISION, infused with the trademark deep drones love is nothing. has become known for, these recordings are beyond a doubt unlike anything you've heard from this project before. Features beautiful cover photo by Brooklyn-based photographer Michele Crowe, from the collection of CupcakeGoth.

THEOLOGIAN+FRAGMENT KING. HERE MUSIC DIES BLACK BAG PACKAGE-PREORDER
ANNIHILVS BLACK BAG PACKAGE (tshirt+cassette)
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.

SUFFERING BODIES. WILL SUFFER NO MORE CD-R
SUFFERING BODIES is a collaborative effort between Kristoffer Oustad (V:28/KRISTOFFER NYSTRÖMS ORKESTER/PLAGUE MACHINERY), Francesco Gemelli (EIDVLON) and Leech (THEOLOGIAN/KOERPERWELTEN/love is nothing./ex-NTT).
Together, these three veterans of heavy electronic music have forged a monumental work, consisting of five black metal-influenced, martial industrial-inspired tracks that combine bitter cold ambient soundscapes, thudding digital percussion and razor-sharp guitars with screeching demoniacal vocals.

THEOLOGIAN+FOUR PI MOVEMENT. THE DESTROYER BLACK BAG PACKAGE-PREORDER
ANNIHILVS BLACK BAG PACKAGE (tshirt+cassette)
FOUR PI MOVEMENT tshirt and 60 minute cassette, featuring one side of exclusive material from FOUR PI MOVEMENT, and one side of collaborative tracks constructed by THEOLOGIAN using FOUR PI source material.

FOUR PI MOVEMENT is currently the solo project of Greg Vaneck (PROMETHEUS BURNING), an improvisational modular noise/power electronics analog monster of heated low-end distortion and raging high-end shrieks. Shredded through the teeth of THEOLOGIAN, the material takes on a totalitarian aspect, crushing rhythms reminiscent of an army of death marching on your city to burn your children and rape your women.

Limited 40 copies.
