THE GOSPELS OF THE GASH - 05.22.2013

As some of you already know, for the months of january-april, i took on a partner/investor/manager. while she was of tremendous help when it came to packing and shipping orders, there were far too many other issues that i wasn't able to look past, so i had to terminate the arrangement. this left me with a significant financial debt to pay, and a huge mess to clean up, since this individual had begun to do several things either without my knowledge or edification, implementing systems for selling, shipping, and accepting payments that flew in the face of systems i'd implemented over the past 16 years of running this label. i don't want to go into too much detail, but the entire scenario has been very troubling for me, and of course being told that i must reimburse a substantial dollar amount - which i don't have - has weighed very heavily on me, especially when i am now left to finance several releases on my own, some of which were entirely someone else's idea, and have already been pre-ordered by several people.

 So, thanks to the help of my cohort derek rush, i have begun to pick up the pieces, so far as the mailorder is concerned, and as of last weekend several orders have been prepared for shipping. but there is still a lot to catch up on, and the mess is still not cleaned up.

I have reinstated my original disclaimer, asking that anyone placing orders wait a minimum of 30 days before inquiring about their shipment.

 I ask, as i have always done, patience during this transitional period. Thank you for your continued support.

DISC MAKERS - YET MORE INCOMPETENCE, FIVE YEARS HENCE

In an industry that is slowly dying, you would think that a company like Disc Makers would do their best to hire competent people, so as to hold onto repeat business. After all, i receive new catalogues from them almost every week, featuring lower and lower prices, offering faster and faster turnaround times. Clearly, they are virtually clawing to stay relevant.

If you've been following this blog for any significant length of time, you might recall the misadventures that i endured during 2008-2009, while pressing THE GOSPELS OF THE GASH 2XCD.
Here's a refresher:

http://annihilvs.blogspot.com/2009/02/gospels-of-gash-2xcd-update.html

Since then, most of the projects i have worked on that were pressed by Disc Makers have gone relatively smoothly, and i have often been shocked when there have been no problems. However, it seems that Disc Makers are still not above employing people who are simply incompetent.

Gordon lazarus at OPPRESSIVE RESISTANCE RECORDINGS is having the THEOLOGIAN+THE VOMIT ARSONIST collaborative release pressed at Disc Makers. I personally created the layout, using Disc Makers templates, as i have done several times during the past decade.
This time, those eminently incompetent folks are telling him the following:

Thanks for your inquiry! You will actually be approving the proofs yourself from your online My Account. I did take a look at your artwork, and noticed a few issues that our Pre-Press Review team may reject your project for:
·         your template layers are embedded in the art - you'll want to remove them prior to uploading your artwork. Leaving templates in the art can cause your art to shift out of alignment, and that template will be printed on your artwork
·         your disc surface artwork has a hole cutout - we print all the way to the center of the disc, so you can extend your background all the way through the disc surface, leaving no hole cutouts. Just ensure that your important text or images are outside of the green safety area (the area in the very center of the disc template)
After you've made these changes and reviewed & approved your proofs, you can upload your audio content and proceed to checkout. Don't hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns; we're here 9am-8pm ET Mon-Fri.
>>  
>> Thanks again,
>>  
>> Jamie
>> Disc Makers Online Sales Support

Now, i don't know how many prepress people work for Disc Makers, and i don't know how many designers they employ, in their so-called "award-winning design department", but i have submitted many layouts to this company, and it has always been with the templates intact. how would they know how to position the artwork otherwise? additionally, poor Gordon has been on the phone with them repeatedly, and they keep telling him THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO TURN OFF THE TEMPLATE LAYERS IN A PDF.

What kind of idiot works in a design or prepress department and doesn't know how to open a file and turn off a layer in photoshop?

MALIGNANT RECORDS recently released a proper CD reissue of YOUR SUFFERING WILL BE LEGENDARY, which was originally released on CD-R as part of the limited boxed edition for THE GOSPELS OF THE GASH, back in 2009.

When i received my copies, i was shocked to find that, while i'd left ample room in a specific spot on the back panel for them to place a barcode, some moron had dropped the barcode right on top of the catalogue number, cutting the top of the text off by a few fractions of an inch. only an idiot would make this mistake.


(layout by Jorden Haley)

I sent a screencap of the above image to Disc Makers to show them that they had just pressed another of my releases, the layout for which had been submitted with the templates intact, and asked why if this was done with no problem, why suddenly it was a difficult process for them to turn off the templates. they didn't reply to my email.

THE GOSPELS OF THE GASH - 03.01.2013

In the short time since my last update, things have moved forward quite nicely. With the awesome aid of my new partner/manager, Christine Lett, we've shipped 99% of the orders that have been stacked in a corner of my living room, and have even packed and shipped more new orders that have come in during the past week. Christine has, in a mere month, already proven herself to be an invaluable addition to my universe, as she's gotten the ball rolling on a variety of releases that have been sitting in limbo during the past few years, ran my merch table last Friday at the DEAFHEAVEN/SANNHET/CLEANTEETH/THEOLOGIAN show at SAINT VITUS BAR, and is now working on behind the scenes details for APEX FEST V, as well as a variety of other upcoming projects and live events.

Several items have been added to the APEX ARMOURIES webstore (http://apexarmouries.bigcartel.com), including the newly-released 2CD reissue of YOUR SUFFERING WILL BE LEGENDARY, the limited double album that was included as part of the final NTT boxset, on MALIGNANT RECORDS.
Also added is a new collaborative CD-R from THEOLOGIAN+FACTORIA. Lots of projects are in-progress. I'll be wrapping up the audio and layout for SOME THINGS HAVE TO BE ENDURED, the next THEOLOGIAN release from CRUCIAL BLAST, which will appear in CD, VINYL and DIGITAL formats. More details, audio and visual previews on all THEOLOGIAN-related activities are posted on tumblr (http://gash-theologian.tumblr.com).
THEOLOGIAN and BAIN WOLFKIND are working on a collaborative CD-R to celebrate the man's return to the East Coast.

The next THEOLOGIAN appearance will take place in Baltimore, as part of the BALTIMORE FILTH FEST, on March 23. Next is April 2 at SILENT BARN. 
Then, ANNIHILVS presents three East coast appearances by BAIN WOLFKIND, and the fifth annual APEX FEST. This is gonna be a busy Spring!

THE GOSPELS OF THE GASH - 02.01.13


In more than 15 years of existence, ANNIHILVS has remained, for the most part, the mission of a single individual.
as i consider myself to be far more capable of creating art than i am when it comes to maintaining a business, this has led to a breakdown in functioning efficiently. this has been compounded by the fact that i have relied on my personal finances to produce and distribute, without any clear delineation between myself and the label.

Sadly, this has negatively impacted my ability to fulfill certain very simple tasks, to the disappointment of certain individuals who have shown me support. there are those who have been patient and understanding, and there are those who have been, shall we say, less than patient and understanding. but, i was at the mercy of circumstance.

Occasionally, i have had help, but it's been sporadic and always fleeting.

That is about to change.

On this, the first day of the second month of 2013, i would like to take the opportunity to announce that ANNIHILVS will now be run by two people.

My friend Christine Lett shall be taking over the business/financial end of Annihilvs. with her longstanding dedication to the underground scene, coupled with her nearly-compulsive drive to crunch numbers, she's a perfect complement to the already-established label.

Our first release under the new regime will be the long-delayed vinyl release from SKINCAGE, AND WOUNDED GALAXIES TAP AT THE WINDOW.

_____________________________________________
Our next collaborative effort will be the fifth biannual APEX FEST, which will be spread across four dates in three cities.

THE GOSPELS OF THE GASH - 01.01.2013

If there is anything i can take away from 2012, it's that i am far happier when i am putting energy into my creative endeavours. after a miserable 2 1/2 years at a job that made me hate life, i injured my back in early july, spent the last half of the year on disability and am currently on unemployment benefits. although it has been more difficult without a regular income during the past six months, it's afforded me the time and energy to focus on things i find much more fulfilling.

i've now been living in a new space since august, and have been able to organise a functional area for label operations and mailorder. after i catch up with certain financial obligations, such as a recent $1000 car repair bill, i'll be able to get things back on track with the new year. I'm not quite there yet, but things will continue moving ahead as i get my shit in order. there are commitments that i was unable to follow through on from as far back as 2010/2011, but those will become new priorities, as i've had to let go of other plans.

2013 will see multiple new releases from THEOLOGIAN, a reissue of the last release by NTT, and plans for several live performances have been underway for the past month or so. i am proud to announce that this year, i will have three albums out on MALIGNANT RECORDS. an amazing lineup for the fifth biannual APEX FEST has also been under construction for some time now. A new website is coming, as well as an entirely new domain. until then, this blog will be revived as an up-to-date source of information for ANNIHILVS-related activities, supplemental to facebook.
