| 06-21-05 | This has been far too seriously long....the slumbering, rusty wheels are slowly turning again and something should happen sooner than later. The Short Con 7" is weeks away from finally seeing the light of day. Trust me - it is well worth the wait - I thank them for their patience. I know no one believes a word I say concerning the Ottawa 12", so I will keep my mouth shut and hope you will one day be pleasantly surprised. A Calvary CD should happen - right? There is also talk of doing a Stations (PA) EP towards the end of the year...summer is a-comin' in - arise! |
| 02-02-04 | Been awhile since the last update. Not too much to tell. The Fourth Rotor LP is moving into the final stages finally. I have been ultra busy with all matters both profane and sacred. The Calvary EP and the Shivering - Brand the Lion's Mouth EP are both still available, but their numbers grow weaker by the day. I finally got a few additional lyric sheets for the Calvary LP and have 50-75 still available for mailorder on blue vinyl if anyone is interested. Calvary CD and Ottawa 12 are both next...right.... |
| 09-22-03 | The Shivering - Brand the Lion's Mouth EP is finished and now available for mailorder. Work has begun on the vinyl version of the Fourth Rotor - Seize LP. |
| 09-10-03 | Happy Birthday Mom! Things continue to move at a snail's pace - but nevertheless things will get done. The Calvary EP is out and selling well. The new EP from The Shivering is moments away from being finished and should be available for mailorder and through Ebullition within days. Chicago's Fourth Rotor have agreed to let me rerelease their amazing debut CD 'Seize' on vinyl. I just received the master disc and art last evening - work begins post haste! Calvary is working on a few live dates before the year is out in the midwest - more info soon. |
| 07-26-03 | Calvary will be playing with J Church, Storm the Tower and DFI Thursday, August 7th at the Fireside Bowl in Chicago, IL. The show will start at 7PM sharp and cost in the neighborhood of $6.00. 99.9% of all Calvary pre-orders have been sent. Ebullition should have the EP in the next few weeks. Minor pressing errors have slightly delayed the new Shivering EP. |
| 06-25-03 | Ugh! Finally. I was having a million issues with the firewall and FTP this past month, but I think I have them all resolved now. The new Calvary EP is finally finished. If you pre-ordered it it should be in the mail by the end of the month. All mailorder will be clear vinyl. The new Shivering EP, Brand the Lion's Mouth, is also nearing completion. Everything else has really slowed down labelwise. I recently became a homeowner and my funds have been temporary diverted elsewhere. |
| 04-02-03 | The new Calvary EP should be finished in 2 weeks or so. The covers are done and the test presses have been approved. Other items in the works: Ottawa 12" (I know, I know....), Chino Horde Discography, perhaps some new stuff from Yaphet Kotto, a repress of the Current CD and maybe even the infamous Lee P. Kao! |
| 02-17-02 | The Shivering 10" is finished and available for mailorder. The new Calvary EP should be out by the 2nd week of March. Updated the tour dates for Yaphet Kotto and Calvary. |
| 01-27-03 | The Shivering 10" vinyl arrived today, the covers should follow early next week. It is now available for mailorder. Calvary recorded 3 songs on Saturday for an upcoming EP that will be titled The Will of Way. Hopeful release date is February 20th, 2003. A sample mp3 will be posted soon. |
| 12-26-02 | The Calvary Demo CD/Tape and the Constatine Sankathi CD-R are now officially out of print. Work continues on The Shivering 10". Vinyl has been approved and is being pressed right now. Cover design work is complete and filmwork will begin shortly. Calvary is recording 4 new songs on January 25th for a new EP that should be out by early March (hopefully in time for tour). |
| 12-05-02 | Additional shows/confirmations have been added to the Yaphet Kotto and Calvary shows. |
| 12-03-02 | The Shivering 10" test pressing arrived yesterday and are sounding good. Pressing will begin once I hear back from all involved parties. Tentative tour dates have been posted for Yaphet Kotto and Calvary for February/March of 2003. More info soon. |
| 11-17-02 | Added preliminary info concerning Yaphet Kotto/Calvary East Coast/Midwest Winter 2003 tour. More info/confirmed dates soon. The Shivering 10" is at the pressing plant - expecting test pressing with in the next week. Calvary has a new drummer - Ebro of Charles Bronson/MK Ultra/Crudos/Ruination fame is now playing with us. Give us a month or so and everything should be back up to speed. We have tentative plans to record a new EP over the first two weeks of January of 2003. 3 1/2 hours of extended Fellowship.... |
| 10-09-02 | Added another review of the Calvary LP. Black Sunday by Mario Bava is genius. |

| 08-15-02 | Calvary has returned from a 2 week tour of the West Coast with The Shivering. Everything went well. Calvary will be playing an LP release show with Funeral Diner, Fourth Rotor and End Transmission on Saturday August 31st at the Fireside Bowl (Chicago, IL). 7 PM sharp, all ages, $5.00. Next: Ottawa 12" and The Shivering 10"...more info soon. |
| 07-22-02 | The Calvary LP is out (finally)! Order at will. The Seattle show on August 3rd has been confirmed... |
| 07-16-02 | Added a new MP3 from the upcoming Calvary LP to the MP3 page. International shipping has been adjusted to account for new postage rates. The Yaphet Kotto 7" is going fast. Ebullition will have them next week for mailorder and I still have about 100 left on White vinyl. Calvary shirts are in the works... |
| 07-11-02 | Added a review of the Calvary Demo to the site. |
| 07-08-02 | Added a tours page and a review of the new Yaphet Kotto EP to the site. |
| 06-24-02 | The Yaphet Kotto/Suicide Nation and the Dearborn S.S. EP's are out of print. Please do not order these records anymore! The New Yaphet Kotto EP will be out this week. Order at will! The Calvary LP should be completed within 3 weeks barring any difficulties. |
| 06-06-02 | Added a few more confirmed dates to the Calvary/The Shivering/Yaphet Kotto Summer Tour. Added 2 new reviews for the new Shivering EP. The new Yaphet Kotto EP is almost complete, look for a late June release. The Calvary LP is also nearing the final stages, mid-July? Reformatted the site so it no longer contains FONT tags and the font faces are all in unison! Progress! Next: the journal.... |
| 06-04-02 | 30? Fucking hell... |
| 05-25-02 | Grief unlike anything known... |
| 05-22-02 | Added the new New Granada 7" to their discography page. Added a few confirmed dates for the Calvary/The Shivering West Coast tour. |
| 05-13-02 | The MP3 page is back! |
| 05-09-02 | General site updates and tweaks. Added tour dates for Yaphet Kotto, Calvary and The Shivering to the Bands page. The Calvary LP and the new Yaphet Kotto EP are both nearing the final stages. Expect a late June release date for both. The new New Granada 7" on Lengua Armada has been released - still awaiting a copy. The MP3 links are currently dead - I am looking for a new space to host the file. |
| 04-22-02 | Added a review of the new Shivering EP. |
| 04-02-02 | Added a few upcoming The Shivering shows to the bands page. |

| 02-20-02 | The Calvary LP has been sent to John Golden for vinyl mastering - release date will be sometime in mid-April. A CD version will follow this summer. The Shivering EP has arrived! The covers will be at the printers this evening. Still waiting for the Yaphet Kotto DAT. |
| 02-08-02 | Updates: The Current - 'Is 4' 7" is out of print and gone forever. The ordering page has been redesigned to at least make minimal sense. New live dates for The Shivering have been posted on their page. A few new .NEMA photos and flyers have been added. The great white beast that is my journal grows and festers with additions and looming updates... |
| 02-06-02 | The Shivering EP test pressings arrived today. It has the house approval, just waiting for word from the west coast. I also received the final CD rip of the Calvary LP from the studio. It sounds much cleaner than the DAT dump we did the night we finished mixing. I've replaced the sample mp3. |
| 02-03-02 | The Calvary LP recording is complete. We are going to sit on it for a few weeks making sure everything is order and assembling mastering notes for Mr. John Golden. A sample mp3 is now available for your listening pleasure, and by all means - please let us know what you think... |
| 02-01-02 | The Calvary LP mixing is proving to be arduous, difficult and long. I promise you it shall be completed by tomorrow afternoon (although we both know that promises amount to spit). The Shivering EP is entering the final stages of completion. I hope to finalize cover designs by the end of next week and get them to the printer soon thereafter. Rumor has it that the new Yaphet Kotto EP has been recorded and should soon be in these hands of mine. The Journal has finally been updated through the end of January (and you thought I was slipping away!). The knives get sharper and sharper... |
| 01-24-02 | The Shivering EP is currently at the pressing plant. I should have test pressing within the next few weeks. Added some upcoming shows to The Shivering page. The Calvary LP recording should be finished by Sunday - keep your fingers crossed and your ear to the ground. Finally getting around to updating the journal...yet this temperate Spring-like weather is killing me...the knives have been sharpened and the cutting has begun!!! |
| 01-17-02 | Some general updates are coming...the journal should be up to date the beginning of next week. The Shivering EP has been mastered and is on it's way to the pressing plant. The center labels are finished and the cover should follow soon. Calvary should be finished recording by the end of next week. If all goes well, I will post an mp3 of one of the LP tracks soon thereafter. |
| 01-04-02 | 2002. Yeah. Somehow I am still alive. Added a link to the Spring 2001 Yaphet Kotto European Tour. Of course my New Year's resolution was to kick out some records this year (as well as refocus, purge, paint Steel Legion til my eyes bleed and stay away from the ladies), so keep reminding me I am a fucking slacker. Possible Calvary show on January 26th in Chicago (where else?)...more info soon... |
| 12-28-01 | Added some new links. The Shivering EP is at the mastering plant and should be finished shortly after the start of the New Year. It shall be followed by a new Yaphet Kotto EP and the Ottawa 12" reissue as quickly as humanly possible. The recording portion of the Calvary LP is slated to be completed by January 27th and the LP will follow in the spring. Y2K2 up in this mother! |
| 12-12-01 | Added some Calvary photos from the show with Zegota, IVth Rotor and Canadian Rifle. Added some history to The Shivering page. |
| 12-11-01 | Added additional information to The Shivering page. Their EP is under way - the DAT is in transit to the mastering studio - should be finished by the first part of 2002. Calvary finished recording the rough music to 12 songs on Sunday for their upcoming LP. |
| 12-08-01 | Well, the first day of recording for the Calvary LP has come to pass and we are exhausted. So far so good. Tomorrow awaits. If all goes well, we should be finished by the end of January. |
| 12-06-01 | Added a few bits and pieces to The Shivering page. Calvary show tomorrow evening [6 PM @ the Fireside Bowl with Zegota, IVth Rotor and Canadian Rifle]. Calvary LP recording on Saturday. The Shivering EP and Ottawa 12" shall be out the door on Monday! |
| 12-05-01 | The (very) rough beginnings of The Shivering page are up. |
| 12-03-01 | The DAT tape for the new Shivering EP arrived today. If all goes well it should be off to the mastering plant by the end of the week. |
| 11-30-01 | Added some new reviews to the Yaphet Kotto and New Granada pages yet again! The Shivering EP is on it's way to me as I type. Hopefully it will be finished around the 1st of the year. |
| 11-19-01 | Added some new reviews to the New Granada and Yaphet Kotto pages. Calvary will be playing two shows in December (the 7th and 15th) - information is on the Calvary page. |
| 11-01-01 | The journal is now officially one year old. Fucking hell. Add some additional graphics to the Full Service Quartet page. |
| 10-30-01 | Council resumes operations after a brief but very pleasant visit to Iceland. Odin whispers favorably indeed! Proceedings have begun that shall manifest themselves as a new Shivering EP hopefully by the end of the year. Calvary is set to record on the 8th of December. |
| 10-03-01 | Yaphet Kotto are recording 2 songs this coming weekend that very well may become a future Council release. More as I know it... |
| 09-20-01 | Added the beginnings of a Full Service Quartet page - but I need some help. If you have any flyers or photos - get in touch. |
| 09-19-01 | The site is currently being moved to a new server which may result in some oddness and downtime. The WWW Board will be offline for a few days. The Wallside page is more or less finished (save the history). The Ottawa 12", Calvary LP and Current CD repress are all beginning to stir. Look for 2 out of 3 by the end of the year... |
| 09-09-01 | Added the beginnings of the Wallside page (many thanks to Charles!!!). If you have any additional information, please get in touch. |
| 09-07-01 | Added a few new links here and there - purged that which was dead.dead.dead. The Calvary LP...yeah, well it is going to be awhile (if ever)...fingers are crossed for the end of the year. I will be in Iceland October 12th - 26th. There will be NO mailorder during that time. Please be patient (and kind). I posted the Council Interview from issue 31 of HeartAttack for you online reading pleasure. |
| 09-05-01 | The new Yaphet Kotto LP [Syncopated Synthetic Laments For Love] is out on Ebullition Records. |
| 08-24-01 | Added Yaphet Kotto history and flyers...finally. |
| 08-21-01 | Added Heartattack reviews for the New Granada 7" and Calvary demo. The Council interview is in Heartattack #31. |
| 07-21-01 | Added a few new mp3s to the site (Calvary, Ordination of Aaron...). More soon... |
| 07-20-01 | Added MRR review for the New Granada 7". Moved mp3s to a new server location (should be quicker). Look for new/more mp3s soon...any suggestions? The Heartattack interview is complete and should be appearing in the next issue... |
| 06-27-01 | General site clean-up to make it more compatible with Netscape Navigator. |
| 06-26-01 | Finally got around to adding some Calvary pictures. Calvary will be playing on Saturday, June 30th [7 PM] with Red Heroine, I Bullet and Vulture at Snapcult in Chicago, IL. E-mail for more info. The Ottawa 12" should be at the mastering plant by the end of next week (at least that is the plan). |
| 05-20-01 | Added a few New Granada and Constatine Sankathi photos as well as a printable Council Advertisement if anyone feels so inclined. |
| 05-12-01 | The WHPK (Pure Hype) Calvary session is complete. A few outtakes are now available in the MP3 archive. Added a few new photos and flyers to the Yaphet Kotto and New Granada pages as well as a flyer or two to the Calvary page...oh yeah...and I added a few new photos to the .NEMA page... |
| 05-10-01 | The New Granada vinyl arrived this afternoon. The covers should be finished by the middle of next week. Order at will. |
| 05-09-01 | The Calvary Demo is now also available on 3" CD... |
| 05-02-01 | The New Granada 7" is very, very close to being finished. The vinyl should be here by the 16th of May. New Granada will also have a 2nd 7" out later this summer on Lengua Armada Discos. Work on the Ottawa repress has resumed with the reemergence of Abiology Records. It should be at the mastering plant by the end of the month. Calvary have been writing new songs for an LP to be recorded later this summer and will be playing a handful of local Chicago-area shows over the next few months (see the Calvary page for details). Council Records is currently being interviewed for an up coming issue of HeartattaCk...a million secrets of the galaxy revealed... |
| 04-26-01 | Began work on Calvary and New Granada pages...I am in dire need of photographs for either band...if you can help, get in touch. |
| 04-25-01 | Added some new MP3's to the site...a new Calvary song, some Jihad and a bit of live Current from a KXLU radio show...enjoy. The New Granada test presses showed up today...everything sounds excellent...let the pressing begin! |
| 04-19-01 | You will now find two demo songs from Calvary in the MP3 section. Calvary might possibly play live on the University of Chicago's WHPK's (88.5 FM) Pure Hype Radio Show - May 11th - 9:00 PM or so... |
| 04-18-01 | Just returned from the studio - the Calvary demo is finished. I should have a handful of them for mailorder by this weekend... |
| 04-10-01 | Plans for the future...the New Granada 7" is at the pressing plant and should be finished in a matter of weeks, Calvary will be releasing a 7-song demo late next week, the Ottawa 12" is in the works - it will be a 12" 45 in a gatefold sleeve (release date still uncertain), after that there is the possibility of a live Constatine Sankathi 7", a Calvary LP and the elusive #20...I would also like to repress the Current and Constatine Sankathi CD's, but only time and available resources will tell... |
| 04-03-01 | I have returned from tour. It was a wonderful, liberating experience...I have no idea how the days shall pass anymore...bored, bored,bored. The New Granada 7" is off to the mastering plant and work has begun on the Ottawa 12" (I promise). I should have the journal updated by the end of the week (another empty promise). Added the beginnings of a Yaphet Kotto page and generally updated the site. |
| 02-20-01 | Added Yaphet Kotto tour dates. I will be on tour with Yaphet Kotto for the entire month of March, so please do not order anything until April 1st. All orders received by February 25th will be filled, otherwise you will just have to wait. |
| 02-06-01 | Added more flyers and pictures to band pages across the board (more or less)...many thanks to Matt Billings of the Motherland for providing said photos and flyers. |
| 02-03-01 | Added some more photos to the Suicide Nation page and new review of the Dearborn S.S. 7". |
| 01-25-01 | New Granada has finished recording their 7" for Council (and another for Lengua Armada for that matter). Work on the record will begin post-haste. |
| 01-09-01 | Added a WWW Board to the site. Not sure how this will pan out. Expect many changes over the next few weeks as I figure this one out. If you have any question, comments or suggestions, send me an e-mail. |
| 01-07-01 | Tweaked all images in site (reduced overall site size by 50%). Added some new MP3's to the Sounds page. The Constatine Sankathi CD is sort of available again. See the Ordering page for more info... |
| 01-04-01 | Just a little site rework, I think it looks and flows a bit better now... |
| 01-03-01 | 2001. Enough already. The United States Postal Service has been kind enough to raise the postage rates. Please note price adjustments. |
| 12-21-00 | Added more reviews to the Current, Jihad and Ottawa pages... |
| 12-18-00 | Reworked the reviews so that they fall under each individual band page. Began work on Suicide Nation page. |
| 12-01-00 | Journal reorganized to cope with massing amounts of frustration and anger... |
| 11-30-00 | I have returned from a long overdue vacation. Orders received in the last few weeks will be shipped by Monday. The last 50 or so Constatine Sankathi CD's seem to suffer from a pressing plant defect which causes it to skip erratically, hence it will no longer be available for mailorder. |
| 11-16-00 | Just to let you know - I will be MIA until the end of November. Feel free to send in orders, but know they will not be received or shipped until then. Site updates (mainly the Journal) will continue during my absence. Feel free to e-mail with questions... |
| 11-06-00 | The Bands section now contains a bit of Ordination of Aaron and a tank full of Jihad to keep you busy..... |
| 11-03-00 | The updates are lacking - I know. A massive scanning effort lies before me. Soon - I promise. In the meantime I have added the Bombs Lullabye page to the Bands section. The Current CD is out of print - for real this time - the closets are empty. The Constatine Sankathi CD is right behind it...the journal grows... |
| 10-27-00 | Enjoy a bit of Jihad now on the bands page if you so choose...more coming soon I promise. J. Rice has also been kind enough to write a fitting historical epilogue to the Ottawa/Frodo Baggins Motherfuckers legacy (R.I.P.). |
| 10-25-00 | So much of this has always been about meeting wonderful new people and speaking of the sickly-sweet nausea that is life. Recently I have been doing exactly that, and this has served as the inspiration to begin the journal....I am taking a bit of a break today - been sicker than sick, a tad sad and very tired. There is always tomorrow...I have also noticed my resource page is horribly out of date, until it is fixed, check out Indiecentre.com. |
| 10-22-00 | A few more pictures and things added (.NEMA history as penned by J. Rice). Drastic changes in my outlook on life - as this beast opens its eyes for the first time in centuries - life halts....and begins anew. |
| 10-18-00 | There is little hope for me now - I am as good as dead and buried. Those bastards took my drivers license last night and another took something so much more close to home...as if I have any trust in a line or a uniform. |
| 10-17-00 | Retrieval and recovery of former page is progressing well. Bands pages nearing completion. E-mail now functional. The pit grows ever deeper....bastard gnolls! |
| 10-16-00 | 5 days later and things are finally pulling together. I am no HTML wizard and designing for multiple resolutions is killing me. Thank Nyarlathotep for slacker jobs... |
| 10-15-00 | 2:23 AM. Rain Like the Sound of Trains assails my eardrums. Work continues, life slips away - fuck scanning 12" records on an 8 1/2" x 11" scanner... |
| 10-13-00 | Friday the 13th - brilliant - site work continues at a slow and tired pace. The phone continues to ring. Motherfuckers. |
| 10-11-00 | Yaphet Kotto / Suicide Nation 7" and Dearborn S.S. 7" 's are finally complete. The rebirth has begun. Site reconstruction begins. Many legions of demons slain. Heart rendered useless. |
