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.
