Welcome to the first blog post of 2014. It's been a very long time since i composed a detailed report of my activities, and i seem to have lost the knack for it. but with so much to announce, this would be a very good time to try to catch up on recent and upcoming news. it's hilarious to me that, when april was approaching, all i wanted was for it to be over, because i knew how busy i would be. now, it's already a dim memory, and the first weeks of may have already been almost as busy as the entire month of april.

I haven't had the opportunity to say thank you to everyone who has been part of everything i've been doing for the last several weeks, especially in light of a ridiculous temporary block from posting on facebook last week.

The SPRING REVERBERATIONS shows on april 5, and 25-27 were absolutely amazing, and although there was definitely a bit of stress surrounding the events, all in all i'm extremely satisfied with how things turned out. i extend my gratitude to SOFT TARGET, BROWN RECLUSE ALPHA, M AX NOI MACH, VULGAR FASHION, STATIQBLOOM, NEAREST, HOT GUTS, KIDAUDRA, and CRAOW for their wonderful performances and generally being great people, and especially to my friend and label partner Daniel Suffering of WHORID, for his invaluable help in making the tour happen, as well as Fade from STATIQBLOOM for taking us out on the road once again. i'm extraordinarily lucky to know all of you.

THEOLOGIAN had the singular pleasure of headlining the third BALTIMORE FILTH FEST on may 3, where Matt Slagle and i played a collaborative set with WHORID. the whole weekend was a lot of fun, we spent the night before the fest at Daniel and May's place in Philly, and got to catch VOID VISION and SSLEEPER HOLD at a place called The Vat, which was a very cool warehouse DIY space, though the quality of the air in there unfortunately left me coughing shit up for the entire week after my visit. thank you to Brian Zimmerman and the members of T.O.M.B. and Dan Barrett of WORMS OF THE EARTH for putting the show together, as well as the friendly and helpful staff of CLUB ORPHEUS for hosting us.

On may 8, THEOLOGIAN joined THE BODY, WHITEHORSE, and GNAW at SAINT VITUS BAR for an incredible night of heavy music, and once again i have to say thank you to everyone from all the bands, as well as Dave Castillo and everyone involved in making this show happen. as always, much love and respect to my brothers Fade Kainer and Matt Slagle for joining me onstage.

In the days that followed this event, Daniel was dealt a heavy blow with the news that his mother's colon cancer has returned, after 20 years of remission. there is no way to explain how truly devastating this is, but rather than focus on the negative, we will try to help as best we can. please consider making a donation here:

We'll be reposting this periodically to get the word out, and other options for helping out are being explored. we're unsure what this will mean for the various releases we've got in the works, but Daniel is adamant that the circumstances will not have an adverse impact on his artistic endeavours.


Several new items have been posted on the ANNIHILVS webstore, and we thank you for your continued support.
