These Are Modern Times
Is working to promote your music egoism? Is pushing your own output taking responsibility for the taste, or lack thereof, that the people who respond to it exert? Is it simpler than that, is it symbiotic, does everyone thrive when this effort is taken? Some days I want to hold all the records to my chest and only let those I approve take one. Some days I wish I could meet people I’d never...

Change
No shows for a while. Regroup, rebuild…. new things. Will periodically post updates from our respective dark holes where music occasionally emanates.

Futurist
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...

Psyched to see Sigil again…. should be awesome.
Getting Frostimental (the series!?!?!)
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...

LIMITED TO DEATH
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...

Words of wisdom on this somber autumn morn
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...

Mirthless
Some days… urgh. Getting out on the wrong side of the musical bed… Trusting people to make decent music today is getting to be a pretty tenuous vibe on my part.
This hasn’t been mentioned yet but I felt I should say that the cover of Feckless Son is a re-interpretation of Norns Weaving Destiny by Arthur Rackham…
That is all.

Anonymous asked: What tuning do you guys play in?
Anonymous asked: "Mythless" is definitely a song I listen to frequently, as it soothes the everyday stresses of life and takes me to a faraway place, a talent that only great bands in todays music possess. I play guitar and would love to see a tab or even just a typed answer to the chords/riffs even if it only went as far as the 2:30 mark. I'm sure there are many supporters of the band out there...

Q&A
In the spirit of not being a Mysterious Guy Fuckhole, the Ask feature on this blahg now fully 100% doesn’t not work. I’m sure any question you might have is better answered by someone more qualified in the Music Industry like this guy or maybe him, but should you want to waste your time hearing what any of us have to say about any topic you care to discuss, feel free.

Bands don’t have geographies anymore… merely influences. Any “swedish sound”, “florida death metal”, etc…. these things were established before information became the fluid currency we know it as today. People bonded socially, and geographically, over the music they made- and the music ouroborically reflected this bond. It responded, and became the...

If this is all I take away… make it feel worthwhile. If every day fades to smoke…. I will still reach down to touch it….
Spending every day in the most rewarding possible manner has changed tone drastically for me in the last years. When a person looks at their own life and feels good or bad about decisions, there is all too often a spark that drives them to...

Sorry its been so long since we’ve had an update. I just hate to give out details until everything is 100% on our newest release… and things are taking a while. Here are some facts:

After a whole bunch of recording in a whole bunch of different places, working on both my own music in other studios and recording other peoples music on my own well-loved, well-used equipment, it feels awesome to put the two together for the first time since I made the demo in 2008. It reflects the genesis of the record: an expression of our local environment. Everything about this recording is...

Eschaton Issues
A few friends of mine have noticed that the Eschaton Webstore was not working/working erratically. It has a new home now and you can get the Beacons LP (and a few other cool things) on sale at http://www.eschatonindustries.com the way it should be. Apologies for the inconvenience.
As you were
O.H.M
Things.
Been a long time since there was a serious update. All there really is to say is 1) We currently have no van. No shows for a few months. I’m sorry… I think we’ll start playing less shows period, frankly. 2) I’ve been slugging slowly away on six new songs. We will start the new record next month. Influenced by a few people, I’ll be tracking it all myself with help from...

My Valley
If not my own gaze, the eye of the feckless sun
a beaten path of misery; a curse of reason
decline care and so decay, crawling away
Only home in this canopy of safety; only sheltered in this childhood security, against all odds and at odds with friends, at odds with the ebb and the flow.
Might yet stand, might yet take your hand
At the half way point in the road
Might yet shed no tears...

All the right wrongs
I am not a fan of the term “inspiration” because it becomes a crutch. As if to say “outside stimuli will strike me with the force I need to stay creative”… life has never worked that way for me. My brain will bash itself apart working on something at times, and sags into a void of inactivity, sloth, and bland apathy on another schedule entirely. Maybe it’s wrong...
