review

A lot of times, these days, 'reviewers' don't really listen to the things that they review, but people still do.
I think one listener really got the idea with 'other worlds of the mind', and I'll post his review instead:

got your album man spent the weekend listening to and i gotta say if i didnt already know nocturnal poisoning and xasthur were made by the same musician i never would have believed it.
your guitar work sounds so much better and skillful, its like xasthur was some how holding you back (strange to say cos i still love xasthur) 

such an epic album man already cant wait for the next one

first Nocturnal Poisoning CD

Nocturnal Poisoning first CD, 'Other worlds of the mind' is now available.
Do you want one?
Well, tell any label, store or distro that you like to shop with to carry it!
They all took off running and went into hiding once I quit doing the previous band.

I found this today, totally by accident, I haven't heard this in many years now, the ending of the song has one of the best riffs I'd ever heard and still is amazing to this day.

No, I will not be appearing or participating in any side-projects anymore, no 'collaborating', no 'all-star' bands either. I don't have the time for it!

Gravesideservice- masters in lunacy

Check this out, this is a new album by the band GRAVESIDESERVICE. I played bass for this band a few months ago. It is NOT your typical black metal band, it is probably the only band with a full time, full on piano player and not just a keyboardist, there is a difference. I might have some copies available next week, but for now, you can contact the band about the CD at: http://www.facebook.com/GRAVESIDESERVICE  or raandruchuk@ccri.edu

Nocturnal Poisoning (band)

So, the new band I'll be spending time on is NOCTURNAL POISONING, a segue if you will, yet a very misleading band name at the same time. I might as well just say it already. At this time, and on my own, I've recorded three out of about twelve new songs for this, songs that prove I don't need to "hide behind some wall of distortion". So far, it's another one person band, but there are folks here and there around the country that'll get involved because I care much more about playing shows rather than making an album and throwing it to the cyber wind.
Ok, well, I'm not going to continue talking about this a lot until there is more music and happenings to back up!

Official Video- Horizon of Plastic Caskets

1). This is a new video for Xasthur, even though the band is dead.
There was a ton of leftover scenes, footage and ideas that were not used by the director during the last video that were used for this "Horizon of Plastic Caskets" video.
Interesting artists can get in touch with the director at: spacerage@hotmail.com
(please have a reasonable budget)





2). Because there were a few people that wondered what happened to the tons of previously unreleased songs that I had, Avantgarde (Italy) is pressing a collection of those songs on an album called 'Nightmares at Dawn' coming out very soon.

The album will have some odd songs and strange surprises. You'll probably hate it though, that's not one of the surprises. Avantgarde will also be pressing some older ep reissues and those too will have some extra songs from a few years ago, before the ending.

3). There will be some other news soon. The new post-Xasthur band is taking forever due to a lot of disappointments, in people, myself being one of them.
But in all due time; I'm not in a big hurry.
