April 2024 Update

   
Hello- I've managed to let a few months pass by since my last update, but I've been keeping busy behind the scenes. I've been recording quite a bit during the downtime between shows, and I'm sure I'll discuss that more down the road. Anatomy of Habit is wrapping up mixes for our next album (really!) and we just announced our next show. BLOODYMINDED has a plan in place to complete our next album (no, really!), which will see us incorporating a new process to mix and edit songs, as well as to tackle vocals differently. I'm getting started on new shirt designs, so you'll see something a bit cryptic from Super Eight Loop, below, as well as a BLOODYMINDED design that was announced on social media, right before our December show. Paolo and I decided to finally get a CD version pressed of our 2020 collaboration and the discs just arrived. I included a link below to a recent interview I participated in with Eeli at Everything is Noise. Along with news there are a few reminders of later 2023 releases in the various sections below. Thanks for reading! -Mark

The Sodality

“Unburdened Underpass” CD


    


https://bloodshop.bigcartel.com/product/the-sodality-unburdened-underpass-cd
Originally created in 1984 by Andrea Cernotto and Pierpaolo Zoppo, The Sodality bloomed under Andrea‘s guidance across seminal works in the 80's and 90's. The project was revived by original members Paolo Bandera and Eraldo Bernocchi for a 2014 concert with Mark Solotroff on vocals, and again in 2023, for a live show and new recordings with that line-up and including founder Andrea Cernotto.
