No shows for a while. Regroup, rebuild…. new things. Will periodically post updates from our respective dark holes where music occasionally emanates.
The rise of fantasy and post-apocalyptic escapism is evidence of the civilized male’s biophilic frustration: he yearns for the immediacy that the struggle for survival affords. He rarely goes so far as to wish for the apocalypse to actualize but he immerses himself in simulated environments (his open space gaming worlds, zombie movies and dystopic novels, etc) that are hostile yet navigable, environments more akin to his pre-civilized habitat. His desire to escape in this way specifically shows that somewhere in his psyche he dearly misses the ever hostile, violently selected, vibrantly green habitat that he paved over in his terribly relentless fight from any and all uncertainty or suffering. Now suffocating in security, distracted by abstraction and trapped in the haphazardly soiled surroundings he has constructed out of crushed rocks and flaming, fossilized shit, he remains physically sedentary. Yet his head is whirling around an intricate globe of imitated immediacy, affording him the opportunity of flexing his instincts at phantoms of his long lost organic experience. -W

Psyched to see Sigil again…. should be awesome.
So winter is en route and the icy depths of misery have taken hold. We’ve decided Feckless Son will be our last LP for quite some time. Forthcoming will be a collection/shabby display of singles, ambient songs, noise, and sacrilege… Posted here, sometimes live video, sometimes MP3s, sometimes something else entirely…. Sporadic, absurd Cold Rituals I’ve hastily dubbed “Getting Frostimental”.
Why? Hey, fuck you.
-OHM
So when we received our new LP in the mail, we were psyched. Psyched, that is, until we saw that Fedex had punched the boxes holding our LPs to death.
Unfortunately, the carnage left 40 jackets completely fucked and un-usable, as you can see here:

Thankfully, the vinyl itself was completely and totally unharmed, and nothing can outdo the indomitable will and can-do spirit of this fucking local band so we rolled up our sleeves and said “how do we still trick people into wasting their ducats on this record?” we came up with a conclusion so dastardly, so maddening, so… goddamn crazy that we simply had to share it with you. So, here it is.
for the next 40 shows, there will be a one-of-a-kind CC LP with a cover created for that specific show. Literally limited to one. Every idea we can think of has been kicked around over beers at Wild Rose but if you’d like to contribute your own cover ideas please feel free to email them to coldcraving@gmail.com. Some of our current musings/ammonia-addled suggestions:
Birdflesh Collection Edition
-A sweet pic of my birdflesh collection on front and back. No fucking tracklist/heaven.
Nardwuar Holds The LP Edition
- we send nardwuar a pic of the LP and get him to take a pic with it. Or I photoshop it into his hands. Whatever
Haunting The Chapel Stolen Edition
- I replace the words “haunting the chapel” with “Cold Craving” but leave “Slayer” there and put on cover.
Just A Million Pics Of Rod Edition
- enough said
A Y H S M B Edition
-pic of Jay Z holding LP and fapping
P-Far Anniversary Edition
- Penny Farthing anniversary edition, featuring a history of the penny farthing on the rear cover
Covered Up Korn Tattoo edition
- a pic of Burgers covered up korn tattoo on the cover
Much Ado About Sonki Edition
- I photoshop this pic to have nothing but Sonki faces and change the text to “Much Ado About Sonki” http://www.impawards.com/1993/posters/much_ado_about_nothing_xlg.jpg
Test Press Edition
-Front cover is pic of famous Test Press, like Rocket To Russia or something, back is simply a disclaimer that it isn’t a Ramones record, void void void
Sweepstakes Edition
-A sweepstakes ticket that grants the holder absolutely fucking nothing but a punch in the face
Crust Vest Edition
-cut out a little jean vest to fit the LP, draw dis-crust logos and put studs on it
OHM
If you want an LP, get it from the Eschaton Webstore… if you don’t, get a digital copy from iTunes or eMusic…

You go to church and sit down on the bench
you close your eyes and listen to the priest
preacher of lies raping your mind
thousands of bibles fill your house

all your stupid shit about all this stupid shit
for me there’s only one way to say it
satan is boss. I kick on the cross

slaughtered christians in my garden
lambsteak on my plate
an inverted cross on my head
a pentagram tattooed in my face

jesus and god think you are funny
when you bitch and give them your money
evil shall rise dark and nice
satan is boss, and I kick on the cross
kick! kick! kick on the cross!
