TEN SUICIDES - LIVE VIDEO, FEAT. MIKE IX & RYAN MCKERN

Between a two night stand at The Empty Bottle in Chicago, members of Eyehategod collaborated with members of Bloodyminded on a 20 minute noise/power electronics set. This collaboration can be traced back to when Mike Williams contributed vocals to a track on Bloodyminded's Gift Givers album entitled "Ten Suicides". As of recently, Mike Williams put out a 7" with a remixed version of this track, as well as another track, on Chrome Peeler Records. The collaboration is essentially a long, new rendition of the "Ten Suicides" track, hence the name.

This collaboration took place at the Reckless Records on Milwaukee Avenue and features Mike Williams, Mark Solotroff, Joey LaCaze, Isidro Reyes, James Moy, and Ryan McKern.

WOLVHAMMER - NEW ALBUM / NEW SONG ONLINE


WOLVHAMMER "Black Marketeers Of World War III" CD's have arrived. They won't be available in stores and distributors or digital avenues until July 13th, but they are available for mailorder now and will ship immediately! Be the first to own this incredible full-length debut from this Minneapolis band: "Black Marketeers of World War III is a textural, monolithic display of modern black metal. With styles ranging from 3 minute punk infused thrash jams, to 8 minute lush, blackened opuses, BMWWIII is bound to turn heads. The production credits to the record read like a who’s who in modern heavy music. With Sanford Parker (MINSK, NACHTMYSTIUM, TWILIGHT) at the board, Colin Jordan (MINISTRY, PIGFACE) handling mastering duties, and Stavros Giannopoulos (THE ATLAS MOTH) in charge of layout and design, WOLVHAMMER clearly pulled out all the stops to deliver an overwhelming debut." Comes packaged in a digipak made from 100% recycled materials.

Into the Arms of Nothing

Sometimes it's easy to mistakenly apply the rules of the real world to the virtual world. (And vice-versa) There have been times when I've made that horrible mistake, which led to some pretty horrible consequences. It's funny how we can be fooled by the suspension of disbelief.

In the spirit of the Imagist poets of the early 20th century, here is a brief comment on my stupidity:

Into the Arms of Nothing

I’ve been swallowing daggers all night -
So lonely I can’t breathe

Stalkers, liars, lovers, and friends -
They’re all that lives inside me now.

Sadness chases me into the arms of nothing,
Being and needing nothing.
And I still feel guilty -
And I’m still scared to die

So if you want to yell at me,
Well I can get that at home.

They are about 20 minutes long each and very much worth the time!!!!

I'd love to get reactions to these videos.
Post a comment here.

Poem: Bleed like Kings

Hello and welcome to the funeral.
As a musician, I spend 90% of my time writing, may it be music compositions or poetry. My writing process for lyrics and poetry are one in the same, usually lyrics for a song are pulled from my various scribbles in dim lit shady bars and airplane cocktail napkins. I begun writing when I was very young, it was my first passion even before music, The parallel between the two would find its place in my soul years later. Aside from my hero's in the music business, Authors such as Bukowski, Thompson & even revolutionary french poets such as Stéphane Mallarmé offered a dark world and a new medium of what could be "heavy" in a entirely different form of expression. I hope one day to have my works published, when the opportunity arose to share my work in the Church of Annie, I was very honored, there is no better format and platform then this in which share my devilishly demented thoughts and music.
So here is a poem I dug up from my journals, I hope you enjoy.

Whiskey Wishes,

Le' bette noir

Ryan McKern


We pawn our insecurities to afford new self fabricated drama and despair.
We purchase our problematic life plans at the thrift store, from the array of wino's and pill popping
entrepreneur's...

guns are available as a payment plan......

Destruct and protest engaged fundraisers of the equal opportunist, for it is in the eye of a fire's disaster for which we truly live.

Mark it on the newspaper.

Internet swine & high school persona's
You taunt me with your knowledge of the unknown and give favors only to see the slave you have created.


31 days in county lock up.
21 poets
many masks, many storms.

It's a deity of desire.
A willingness of pride.
A selfless confession of aggression.

The sounds of the locomotive bring back the noose
let me close my eyes.


Simpler landscapers create impossible escape routes.

You are so graceful in the art of betrayal


.

I should have seen your intentions from across the 52 states of perversion and
manipulation.

Bleed like kings....
we Reign for Irony.

The goat of the fallen child
the third eye in the ring of confusion.

Although you intend to dissect my patience.
I shall again walk a path of sanctuary.... a life of indulgence....fulfillment and justifiable dischord.

Dementia is supported with a tip of the glass.

What are our Metal Memes?

Welcome to the Church of Annie

The Church of Annie is a collective of artists, writers, musicians, actors, exhibitionists, designers, and fans who create and collaborate on all things METAL. Everything that is part of The Church of Annie is royalty free. That means it can be shared/copied/edited at will by anyone. This new way to create will change what we know about the music business. When you upload items here they MUST be royalty free!

When you upload your creations to The Church of Annie - you give that creation freely to the world.
Your name will stay on this creation. As it is changed, the names of your collaborators will be added.
We give respect and acknowledgment to the creator in anything that we remix.

Church of Annie is a place where people participate in the creation (and re-creation) of that culture. A place where the consumer is also a creator and collaborator. Our interest is in reviving true metal culture where people produce for the love of what they are doing. And all genres and forms of metal are welcome here! This is a place for Remix - NOT Piracy. A place supporting social creativity and a new Heavy Metal literacy. It is a growing and evolving ecology of free metal content that continues to celebrate and foster individuality. We no longer choose to live in an age of prohibition. We will not tolerate control over our social realities.


(My personal preference is that we do not upload anything that is racist or anything that involves violence against people or animals.)

Thank you and welcome to the new world.

Annie Christ
