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

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.
