SUPER EIGHT LOOP 074

OCTOBER 9, 2019 UPDATE This Sunday, BLOODYMINDED plays at Co-Prosperity Sphere with Pharmakon and Itsi. We anticipate showing up with a strong lineup. Our next show was just announced and tickets go on sale on Friday. We'll be playing with Burial Hex and NIKA, an exciting new solo effort from Nika Roza Danilova/Zola Jesus. The show will be held at the International Museum of Surgical Science in the striking Hall of Immortals. There will only be 100 tickets available, so it's best not to hesitate on this if you're interested. We'll have one final 2019 show to announce, soon...

I've completed four more Super Eight Loop re-masters and I've been listening carefully to a new set of mixes for the forthcoming Ensemble Sacrés Garçons album... the songs sound excellent and we should be shifting to mastering ASAP. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ - New: Super Eight Loop - S8L073 - New: Super Eight Loop - S8L072 - New: Super Eight Loop - S8L071 - New: Super Eight Loop - S8L070 - Now: Super Eight Loop 001-069 - New: Mark Solotroff "Synth Sketch August 2019" - New: BLOODYMINDED "Essential Humanity" Digital single - New: The Fortieth Day "A Mournful Silence" CD/Digital - New: The Fortieth Day "There They Made Their Peace" CD - Now: BLOODYMINDED "BLOODYMINDED" LP/CD/Digital - Now: BLOODYMINDED "BLOODYMINDED" Digital single - Now: Mark Solotroff "The Myth Of Community" Cassette - Next: Slogun "This Way Comes" CD (Compiles 7-inch singles and rarities - This will be the final release in the BloodLust!/C.O.S. anthology series) - Next: The Rape of Angels - a new publication collecting all 19 issues of the BloodLust! noise and metal newsletter/zine from 1995-96. - Next: BloodLust!

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.

All Your Sisters (Los Angeles, The Flenser)
allyoursistersmusic.bandcamp.com
All Your Sisters take on the post-punk paradigm is decidedly non-retro. The basic building blocks are there; heavy drum machine rhythms, pumping melodic bass lines, swaths of atmospheric guitars and cold synth melodies, but where many bands are content to wallow in the shadows of their influences, All Your Sisters sounds like the future.

Echo Beds (Denver, The Flenser)
https://echobeds.bandcamp.com/
If you were to amplify oil drums, broken cymbals, battered basses, unrecognizable tape loops, dilapidated voices and push it into the red you'd have a pretty good idea of what to expect from a live set by Denver based band Echo Beds. With the expressed intention of volume as therapy and put through the grinder of the self-practiced DIY ethos- this is visceral, political, and genre defying music.

Moze Pray (San Antonio)
https://mozepray.bandcamp.com/
Moze Pray, AKA Libby Del Barrio, is a multi disciplinary artist based in San Antonio. No Tears, is an unapologetic account of life’s feedback loop around the Wheel of Fortune. Sacrificial actions through ceremonial performance reveals a gateway founded on truth and torment. Moze Pray’s ability to combine musical production, poetic vocalization and ritualistic body performance is charged by chaos and amalgamates into a product of pure expression that defies the rose colored filters that aim to conceal the harsh realities.

Anatomy of Habit (Chicago)
https://anatomyofhabit.bandcamp.com/
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.

Sanford Parker (Chicago)
https://sanfordparker.bandcamp.com/
(BURIED AT SEA, MINSK), metal producer extraordinare (PELICAN, VOIVOD, NACHTMYSTIUM, CORRECTIONS HOUSE & a thousand others). "Lash Back" is dark, heavy and at times an unsettling blend of industrial and electric music, sure to appeal to Parker's vast and diverse fan base. For fans of Corrections House, Jesu, Mirrors of Psychic Warfare and James Plotkin.

Capture & Exploit (Chicago)
https://portrayalofguilt.com/album/the-only-thing-man-has-mastered-is-hate-pog005
Chicago Power Electronics/ Death Industrial. Capture & Exploit puts oppression, hatred, and all things violent on display. Industrial delivered in an onslaught of heavy electronics, feedback, and distorted vocals.
