Been getting lots accomplished, but still a good amount to do over the course of the holiday weekend!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>KRALLICE - YEARS PAST MATTER UPDATE</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.gileadmedia.net/images/relic43/relic43thumb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.gileadmedia.net/images/relic43/relic43thumb.jpg" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
<br />
Alright, it's taken a while to get here, and I apologize for that. I needed to square away everything with the last batch of releases/represses before I could put this beast into production. But we're there now, and the time has almost come for pre-orders.<br />
<br />
Years Past Matter will be presented as a gatefold 2LP, packaged in heavy-duty tip-on jackets (same as the last 3 Krallice records), and pressed on 180g black vinyl. No color vinyl.<br />
<br />
The vinyl edition will feature a different front cover than the CD, which I'm pretty stoked about. Talking with the band about download codes in all copies and an exclusive shirt option for pre-orders. Not set in stone yet, but working towards it.<br />
<br />
I expect test pressings and print work proofs to be approved by the first week of January. At that time, pre-orders will be launched. Announcements will be made here, on my new website (launching next week) and via the email update.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<b>DEAD WEIGHT FREE ONLINE SCREENING FRIDAY</b><br />
While you're hanging out attempting to recover from holiday over-eating you might as well hang out and watch a movie or two on Friday night, right?<br />
<br />
Indie Horror TV will be streaming Dead Weight tomorrow alongside a boatload of other great films. This is FREE. All you need to do is go to the website and watch. Afterwards John and I will be doing a little chat thing about the film. Looking forward to it!<br />
<br />
Visit Indie Horror TV here: <a href="http://www.indiehorror.tv/" target="_blank">http://www.indiehorror.tv/</a><br />
<br />
Their schedule for tomorrow hasn't been updated with our screening yet, but we're on at at 10pm EST (9pm CST) Our chat will be after the film, 11:30pm EST (10:30pm CST).<br />
<br />
Hope you tune in and check it out!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>NEW WEBSITE NEXT WEEK</b><br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My website has needed a total overhaul for a long time, and that day has finally come. Or will be here shortly, anyway. My old friend Marty from Guerilla Digital has been working hard to get a brand new website up and running for me. We're almost there, I just have a bit more store content to move over and then we have some minor tweaks to make/things to iron out.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Everything about this new site is better. Easier to get information, easier to browse and use the store, easier for me to update, and has an integrated blog right on the page. This means the blogspot will no longer be updated after this post, except to set up a forwarding notification.</div>
<br />
One great thing about the new site is going to be that it adapts to your screen size on the fly, whether it's mobile, tablet, or desktop. Below is a screenshot showing portrait and landscape orientation and how the menu changes to adapt on the iphone.<br />
<br />
<br />
Look forward to the new store, I know I am. I've been spending the majority of this week getting everything ready and can't wait to roll it out!<br />

NEW FELL VOICES ALBUM.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
In March 2011 the world saw the release of the <b>Ash Borer/Fell Voices</b> split LP. Both bands had a history together, going on an extended tours and even performing in side projects with each other. Two years later, they continue their history as they cross the ocean and take on a European tour from April 3rd to April 21st, with a very special performance at <b>ROADBURN</b> on April 20th.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
As many folks know, Roadburn has become one of the world's largest metal festivals and this year's lineup is no different. Even Wisconsin punk legends DIE KREUZEN are making their way over!<br />
<br />
For more information <a href="http://www.roadburn.com/roadburn-2013/" target="_blank">visit http://www.roadburn.com/roadburn-2013/</a>. If you live in central Europe and are interested in booking a show for Ash Borer and Fell Voices please contact Daniel from Kill Town booking - <a href="mailto:killtowntourbookings@gmail.com">killtowntourbookings@gmail.com</a>.<br />
<br />
We are also awfully excited to announce that early 2013 will see the release of a brand new full-length from <b>FELL VOICES</b>. These are their first new recordings in over two years and will be presented in North American by Gilead Media and Analog Worship, whom released the Fell Voices demo on vinyl. While our old friend Stefan at Vendetta records will handle the European version of the release.<br />
<br />
This as of yet untitled album will be released as a gatefold 2LP in the US, 180g black vinyl with a very limited run of color vinyl. More details forthcoming, expected to be released by April 2013.<br />
<br />
Until next time, my friends.<br />

Winter sits upon the frosted edge of each fallen leaf on these cold Wisconsin mornings, and I couldn't be more excited for snow to fall on this small town once again. <i>Dead Weight </i>has been keeping me busy, even after release. We've been accepted to fifteen film festivals thus far, and await responses to more that we've submitted to. Something beyond our wildest dreams, rest assured. John and I make every effort to attend each screening we can, and have made it to a large number of them. There is no greater joy than that of sharing your creation with people and making new friends.<br />

So here I sit, Saturday afternoon in Oshkosh, finally spending some time with the new Velnias vinyl after jamming the bandcamp page in my web browser at work. These days where I can relax for a while and focus on some writing are the kinds of days I wish would become more frequent. Every week that passes I'm trying to make decisions that push me in that direction instead of pushing me towards less creative commitments on the weekends.<br><br>
There hasn't been too much going on behind the scenes with Gilead Media lately. September, and a good part of October, were so absurdly busy for me that I've really needed to let the dust settle and pay some bills. The Inter Arma - <i>Destroyer</i> CD and Krallice - <i>Years Past Matter</i> 2LP are just about ready to go, and I should have Fell Voices and Ash Borer shirts restocks shortly. In addition to two Loss shirts available in the store that I printed for their upcoming November tour.
<br><br><br><br>
<b>TEST PRESSINGS FOR SALE</b><br>
In the mean time I have posted a number of test pressings on ebay. I haven't sold off test pressings for a few months so please take a moment to see what's been posted. I'm not entirely sure when I'll have time to post more after these. I'm going to be focusing on selling off a good chunk of my personal record collection. I'm once again feeling the urge to refresh my collection here, a cycle that passes every few years. There is a list below of the test pressings I have for auction, and they can be bid upon here:<br><br>

NEW SHIRTS + DISTRO! TOUR DATES!Life has been more hectic than normal around here at Gilead Media HQ. Just when I'm absolutely certain things will slow down and I'll fall into a lull where I have time to play video games, or even just do my laundry, everything goes nuts again. I shouldn't complain, really. It's better than not having anything to do!<br />
<br />
I must thank, sincerely, all those who have ordered over the past couple months... or ever really. But these last couple months have been awesome, and I'm glad they're so much interest in the new records. Every order for Mutilation Rites - Empyrean LPs and Barghest/False split LPs has shipped out, so keep your eyes on your mailbox, and see the picture below of my mail day this past Saturday. I hope the postal worker at the desk enjoyed their Saturday workout as much as I did!<br />

If there's one thing I can count on, without fail, it is that any record Andy Low emails me about is worth a serious listen. In 2008 it was Thou that Andy turned me on to, now in 2012 he has opened my eyes to Richmond, VA's INTER ARMA.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Inter Arma were a band whose name I had seen around for the last couple years, with releases on Forcefield and Mirror Universe, but had never actually gotten around to listening to. After that fateful email from a friend, I knew I had to get in touch to see about working with them in any way possible.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
That brings us to <i>DESTROYER</i>. Originally released as a 12" by Toxic Assets records earlier in 2012--and coming soon on CD from Gilead Media--<i>DESTROYER</i> is a furious EP that showcases an astonishing new level in Inter Arma's songwriting. This is not just the next step for them, but an evolutionary leap beyond their previous material. The record is surprisingly dynamic and their precision is impressive, particularly when considering the stylistic range they cover. Whether they're expounding on some dark, creepy interlude, berating you with a relentless riff, or laying down a thoroughly awesome guitar solo, Inter Arma hit the mark like seasoned metal veterans. And the drums, my goodness, the drums! Heavy, complimentary rhythms and blackened blast, all is absolutely crushing. On <i>DESTROYER</i> all of the elements come together to form truly memorable songs from a band that knows how to incorporate melody without dulling their abrasive sound.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
More details on the release of <i>DESTROYER</i> CDEP will be available soon from Gilead Media. Visit <a href="http://gileadmedia.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">gileadmedia.blogspot.com</a> for updates.</div>

These bands are all filled with individuals I am honored to call friends, and their bands are amongst the best in the American black metal scene today.<br><br><br>
<img border="0" src="http://www.gileadmedia.net/images/relic42/relic42thumb.jpg" /><br><br>
<b>Barghest/False </b>split LP - $15.00<br><br>
Barghest and False come from drastically different worlds, and drastically different are their individual approaches to black metal. Barghest, from the swamps of Baton Rouge, LA, take the misanthropic "anti-human/anti-life" angle, delivering disgustingly abrasive, lo-fi metal. A lineup without bass, but full of unflinching aggression and thickness. False, from the frozen landscape of Minneapolis, MN, begin with a foundation of synth-tinged European black metal and compliment it with hypnotic atmosphere, creating intensely eerie music.<br><br>
For all of their differences, they also share some key similarities. Each group released a debut album in 2011 with Gilead Media/Howling Mine, and both were met with overwhelmingly positive response from zines, blogs, and fans. Barghest and False also each contain an oppressive quality in their respective sounds. Believe it when I say this is not music for casual listening, in each case this is a psychological journey through a realm devoid of light or hope.<br><br>
Barghest offer two tracks for the split. "Shifting Sands" is one of the first songs the band ever wrote, and has never before been available in a physical format. Although an older piece it still possesses the aesthetic Barghest solidified for themselves on their Untitled debut. "Inhuman Hatred" is a brand new song with an obvious death metal influence. It carries a greater sense of focus and purpose than the material from their full-length, without abandoning their unique style. <br><br>
False have grown in an unbelievable way since their debut 12". Their single track on this split--"Heavy as a Church Tower"--clocks in at nearly 18 minutes, and stands as hard evidence that False are quickly becoming an undeniable force within American black metal. The ferocious intensity from their debut is amplified here, and paired with a more mature sense of mood and atmosphere. Their side of the split is very much False, evolved.<br><br>
Released alongside Mirror Universe. Cover art by Bryan Proteau (Natvres Mortes Illvstration) and printed on heavy 24pt jackets. 24"x36" folded poster included. Printed inner sleeve. 800 pressed on 180g black vinyl. <br><br>

<br><br><br>
<img border="0" src="http://www.gileadmedia.net/images/relic41/relic41thumb.jpg"><br><br>
<b>Mutilation Rites</b>- <i>Empyrean</i> gatefold LP - $16.00<br><br>
In three short years Brooklyn's Mutilation Rites went from releasing a couple demos and EPs to unleashing Empyrean, one of the most gruesomely ferocious full length black metal LPs of the year.<br><br>
The songs on Empyrean are astonishingly identifiable, they get stuck in your head immediately. This may be in large part due to the way Mutilation Rites utilize so many other elements of metal without losing focus of their goal. The backbone here is undoubtably black metal, but within you can hear aspects of grind, doom, crust, and captivating riffage that mesh perfectly and serve a greater dark purpose. As the shrieking, indistinguishable vocals lay over these songs it pulls the sound together into a perfect blend of filthy, precise misery.<br><br>
Packaged in an old-style Stoughton tip-on jacket, single pocket. Black inner sleeves. 180g black vinyl. Artwork by Reuben Sawyer (Rainbath Visual). CD released by Prosthetic Records.<br><br>

I just got my hands on the hard drive from my friends who filmed. Very cool to relive much of that weekend. I'm sending discs off to the bands this week/next week with their own footage on it, for their own archives. If they approve, I will have my pal John edit some of the complete songs together to post online. That's up to each band individually, though, and I won't be posting anything without their permission.

That's something I really enjoy doing, and I like to think people that order from me like that I have ACTUAL photos of the albums in my store. Well, consider that folly rectified! Photos have been added for almost all of the distro items, including all these great new goodies!

Friday morning my wife and I both took the day off from work for a drive to Chicago, delivering my initial stock to Thrill Jockey! It was a late night on Thursday, since I put off gathering up stock until around midnight or so. By the time I was done with everything (had to stuff a few records with patches/posters) it was near 4 am, woops. Two hours of sleep and we were off!<br />
<br />
One of the great things I've missed about going on a trip is picking out CDs for the drive. Obviously things work a bit differently now, when you can take your entire music collection with you everywhere you go. To me, it feels like that sort of ruins some of the magic of going on a little trip for the day. Music selection can be such an important aspect of trip preparation, choosing the mood you want to set with the music you're taking along. Just plugging in your ipod feels so impersonal, sterile. After today I'm actually leaning towards foregoing the installation of the auxiliary input for the new car. I'd rather go back to picking out CDs for the drive, I never realized how much I enjoyed that until it was no longer routine.<br />
<br />
The drive actually went quite well for leaving so early on a Friday. Not only were we taking a few hundred records to Chicago, but we were also transferring a few kittens from the over-capacity Oshkosh Area Humane Society to Wisconsin Humane in Milwaukee, where there is more room for companion critters. Much to my surprise the traffic in Milwaukee between 8:30 and 9:00 was non-existent, so that was cool. Dropped off kitties and got back to it, arriving in Chicago around 10:30 am. Not bad!<br />

<br />
Upon arrival we went straight to Wicker Park. Reckless Records and Wormhole Coffee, always crucial stops on Chicago trips. I had a small box of old vinyl I didn't feel like trying to sell on ebay, so that was nice to get rid of at Reckless. Picked up The Body & Braveyoung LP while Cari found Neko Case's <i>Blacklisted</i> for cheap on CD. Wormhole is my favorite coffee shop, without contest. I've been to plenty, and this one takes the cake. It may have been my initial visit, which was one of those moments where you're in the right place at the perfect time with exactly the person you want to be there with... and drinking the perfect cup. The weather was sort of wild while we were there, too. The skies grew terribly dark, wind picked up, and it began to rain a bit. Quite eerie for a Friday morning.<br />
<br />
The stop at Thrill Jockey was a quick one. They were working and I was parked illegally. Everyone helped unload the 20 or so boxes I had loaded into the car and then Mr. Erik Keldsen helped me locate an irresponsible amount of records I was looking for.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Thanks to Erik for many great suggestions. Can't wait to dig my teeth into these this weekend!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
We left right around 1:00 pm since we had to get back to Oshkosh in time for some work responsibilities Cari had. The traffic was moderately crappy on our way out of Chicago, but I didn't really care since the car was empty and I had this fantastic Painted Cave CS playing that I had just bought. It put Cari to sleep almost immediately, and subsequently kept me relaxed while driving in bumper to bumper traffic on 90/94.<br />
<br />
We reserved just enough time to stop in Milwaukee and grab some actual food from Palomino, realizing we hadn't eaten all day. This place is, without a doubt, my favorite place to eat. Tons of vegan food, and good. All seitan toffalo wings and vegan country fried steak with mashed potatoes. Heavenly, perfection. I wasn't able to eat the country fried steak until I got home, but Cari got to eat in the car a bit so that was good. We both went to town on those toffalo wings. Incredible!<br />
<br />
We got home just in time for Cari's work obligations. I ate, took out the dog, and proceeded to immediately fall asleep on the couch. Where I remained for about nine hours. Sorry, back!<br />
<br />
In the end, this trip managed to reaffirm/amplify all of the feelings I had during my initial visit to the Thrill Jockey offices a few months ago. That they are a group of committed individuals that sincerely love music. I'm doubtful there's a better home to distribute Gilead Media releases at this point. After spending a few years feeling out of place with other distributors, this feels right. And to think, this was all a result of that big blog post I made months ago, the one about how I had lost a bunch of money as a result of my old distributor shutting down. Fitting how that poor turn of events resulted in a great new relationship. I'm confident when I say that Gilead Media, although still recovering, is in a better place than it's ever been. Between the success of the music festival, and this new relationship, there is a lot to be happy about.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<br /><br />Time to announce something that has been in the works for a few months, and that I'm quite excited about, indeed!<br /><br />A big news bit for those that work at stores/distros/etc. Thrill Jockey Records will exclusively distribute Gilead Media titles going forward. My mailorder store will remain with me, of course, but I'm awful at staying on top of wholesale orders, so this is going to work out better for everyone. On top of that, the people at Thrill Jockey have been very supportive of the label for the past couple years, and even put up with me talking their ears off when I went to hang out at their warehouse, so that's cool.<br />
<br />
On top of that, I'm going to be distributed alongside a very small, but high quality group of labels. SIGE Records, Handmade Birds, Immune Recordings, Three Lobed Recordings... and another label or two I can't remember off the top of my head. I can't wait to be in their company.<br />
<br />
In addition to all of the catalog stuff I still have in print, they'll also be selling the remaining copies of the Hell/Thou split 7" and Mutilation Rites <i>I Am Legion</i> 12" for the July street date. Then Barghest/False split LP and Mutilation Rites <i>Empyrean</i> LP for August. And the Krallice s/t 2LP repress somewhere in there, too!<br />
<br />
Get in touch with Erik at Thrill Jockey if you're not already ordering from them. You'll be glad, he rules.<br />
