MAXIMUM ENTROPY AND THE NEARLY BLACK OBJECT

 

Four songs pressed into 45 RPM 7" vinyl and released by Nerve Altar. Recorded August 2014 by Joel in our Abandoned Outpost of Anhedonic Filth and Misery. Bound in a wraparound cover and including an 8-page chapbook containing astronomically correct secrets and truths. In support of this release and our general self-destructive bent, we will play the following shows with several of our friends:

• FEB 19 - Cleveland, OH w/ KEELHAUL & Nyodene D at Now That's Class
• FEB 20 - Indianapolis, IN w/ Corpuscide, more at 5th Quarter Lounge
• FEB 21 - Chicago, IL Two-Piece Fest at ChiTown Futbol
• FEB 22 - Buffalo, NY w/ Gas Chamber, Black Iron Prison at Black Dots (matinee)
• MAY 16 - NYC w/ Full of Hell, The Body at ABC No Rio (matinee)

We will be restocked with tshirts and copies of both of our LPs. Accompanying us on our journey will be Nerve Altar and all of his releases. And of course, everything is available for mailorder should you not make any of the shows.

The Terminal Zone

Brief summary of current activities:

Weekend out with our Brooklyn instrumental friends Thurn & Taxis in these locations:

     Friday 10/17 in Albany, NY at Low Beat

     Saturday 10/18 in Ithaca, NY at Just Be Cause (matinee)

     Sunday 10/19 in Plattsburgh, NY at ROTA Gallery

Thanks to everyone who helped pull these shows together.

The four new songs we recorded in our former practice space (August 2014) will see imminent release as a 7" on the mighty Nerve Altar. Artwork and mastering are currently underway. Thank you Aaron.

Interview with Andrew Hernandez II Twin Lords/ Tombs for Ithaca Underground posted. Thank you Andrew.


And as we still have copies of the first and third LPs available, here is a kind review from Shane in a recent issue of Decibel.

This bass and drum instrumental duo, the former rhythm section of Anodyne (which has been extinguished for almost a decade... Jesus), are a spastic, time-signature-sodomizing, M.C. Escher painting of a band. Over the course of six tracks, they grind, groove, and warp rhythms into something that's intimidating and endlessly fascinating. Buy this and whatever else they'll sell you.

Thank you Shane.

And thanks to you for reading.

New LP Available

Covers and vinyl for Falling to Death Through Time and Space are completed and currently in-hand at the RBB Sweat & Blister Factory. These fine specimens, as pictured above, are available for mailorder, which is handled via the bandcamp account, or by emailing us directly. Diseased Audio in Chicago, and mysterious Canadians Mass Deadening will have copies presently, should you like to consolidate your order with other outstanding offerings. A digital version, priced at a very tempting 'pay what you will,' is also available at bandcamp.

We continue to have copies of the first LP, which can be ordered (or downloaded for free) in the same manner as the new one. We also have for download only (at the moment) the lost second LP Mythologies. We believe it will see a proper vinyl release at some point prior to the heat death of the universe.

Our string of dates with Triac went very well, and we extend thanks to everyone who helped organize that, put us up, and attended the shows. More of these trips will be planned and noted on this page.

Details not confirmed, but new songs and recording are underway. More to follow as events cohere. We thank you for your interest.

New LP and Triac Shows

Covers and vinyl for Falling to Death Through Time and Space are at their respective factories. We will have the completed units by the time we leave for our shows with Triac, which are as follows:

• Thursday, 6/5 Rochester, NY (Location undisclosed) with Televisionaries
• Friday, 6/6 Lima, OH at The Leather Shop with Pizza Hi-Five and others
• Saturday, 6/7 Chicago, IL at Club Rectum with Sea of Shit, Sick/Tired, and Bottomed
• Sunday, 6/8 Cleveland, OH at Castle Greatskull with Grin & Bear It and Fire Death
• Monday, 6/9 Philadelphia, PA at Half Moon Cafe with Chainsaw to the Face, Past Tense, and Prophet, Said I.

Come out and say hello, we don't do this nearly as often as we should. Records will be available for mailorder when we return, should you like one. Thanks to everyone who helped set up these shows, and all the bands for agreeing to play.
