ANATOMY OF HABIT

Anatomy of Habit formed in Chicago in October 2008 and is composed of Alex Latus (guitar), Isidro Reyes (metal percussion), Skyler Rowe (drums), Mark Solotroff (vocals), and Sam Wagster (bass + lap steel). The band encompasses elements of doom metal, post-punk, death-rock, noise-rock, industrial, psychedelic, and shoegaze. The band's last album, "Ciphers + Axioms," was released by Relapse Records.

We're already back at writing new songs...

BLOODYMINDED

BLOODYMINDED is a heavy electronic band that was formed in New York, in 1995, after the dissolution of the pioneering American post-industrial noise group Intrinsic Action, which was founded by Mark Solotroff, in Chicago, in 1984. BLOODYMINDED’s live shows are exceptionally energetic and are characterized by physical engagement, layers of abrasive analog synthesizer, aggressive vocals, and abundant feedback. In a live context, BLOODYMINDED celebrate and deconstruct the rock and roll performance.

Tickets for our first show of 2020 are now on sale and we're looking forward to playing as part of this powerful lineup!

The Fortieth Day is the duo of Isidro Reyes and Mark Solotroff, both key players in the heavy-electronics outfit BLOODYMINDED, a band known for its aggressive and confrontational live shows. In The Fortieth Day, Reyes and Solotroff utilize guitar, bass, drum machine, and analog synthesizer to create epic, blackened, psychedelic-industrial drone soundscapes.

NIGHTMARES 

Nightmares is the synth trio of Jonathan Canady (Angel of Decay, Dead World, Deathpile, etc.), David Reed (Envenomist, Imvixor, Luasa Raelon, etc.) and Mark Solotroff (Anatomy of Habit, BLOODYMINDED, The Fortieth Day, Intrinsic Action, etc.)


Nightmares
"Sub-Sonic Language Transmission"
Cassette (C-60) / Book / Download Code

https://synthnightmares.bandcamp.com/album/sub-sonic-language-transmission

Sub-Sonic Language Transmission has been produced in a limited edition of 100 transparent red cassettes with full-color printed j-card covers and a special 32-page glossy, color, heavyweight book that includes reproductions of a series of new paintings created by Jonathan Canady, specifically for this release, paired with early 19th Century nightmare texts by John Waller, compiled for this release by Jonathan. The digital version includes a 41-minute bonus track, "A Detachment Of The Soul," which is a decidedly different sounding mega-mix of select tracks from the new album, created by David Reed. The download also contains a PDF of the companion booklet.

Please note that one-third of the pressing will be available via our Bandcamp page (see above link), one-third will be available directly from Jonathan Canady and one-third will be available directly from David Reed. They'll both be making their own announcements about availability and ordering.
