TERENCE HANNUM(Locrian): San Francisco Diptych 03/2011

Locrian member Terence Hannum will be participating in two events in San Francisco next week.


EVENT ONE

The Touching of Hands

Genesis Breyer P-Orridge | Scott Treleaven | Terence Hannum

Wed March 2, 2011, 8pm

at Artists' Television Access, 992 Valencia Street, San Francisco CA

“The title for the show comes from a remark that Gysin made to Genesis, and Genesis to me: that magical training can only be passed on by the touching of hands.”
— Scott Treleaven

An evening of solo and collaborative projects by Scott Treleaven, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, and Terence Hannum, focusing on the shared influence of artist and mystic Brion Gysin. Gysin’s close friendship with Breyer P-Orridge, in turn her friendship with Treleaven, and Treleaven's friendship with Hannum has over time given rise to a number of aesthetic and philosophical affinities, communicated from one to the other by direct contact.MORE

Land of Decay Webshop

We have a lot of cool releases planned for Land of Decay as well as a bunch of new Locrian stuff on the way as we speak--"The Crystal World" Vinyl, the Locrian/Horseback 7", and possibly some clothing;) We felt like it was time for us to put together a webshop to make things easier for everyone. You can check it out here:
http://www.landofdecay.bigcartel.com/

We found a few copies of the Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words cassette so we put them in the shop at regular prices.

Thanks to our friend Mark Solotroff for the advice getting our shop up and running.

We also wanted to let you know that you can also pick up some of our releases from Bloodlust!. We just sold Permanent Records our very last copy of our "Drenched Lands" LP +3"CDR.

If any of you have any suggestions on how we could improve the LOD Shop then please let us know at: landofdecay@gmail.com

Also, please note that we're increasing the cost to send tapes to outside of the U.S. All tapes will cost $11 ppd for outside the U.S. We're sorry to have to increase the price, but we're losing money sending single tapes to Europe and we need to save our money to put out our next batch of releases.

Land of Decay is pleased to announce our newest release, a limited edition cassette from Velnias.
The band originally released this album as a tour edition CDr last summer, but sold out of the release quickly.  We’re happy to have this release available as an edition of 100.


The tape consists of one extended track that lasts over twenty-two minutes.  This is the first Velnias release since their 2008 album “Sovereign Nocturnal.” “Sovereign Nocturnal” was written and recorded when the group resided in Chicago, IL.  Since then, they have been hibernating in the mountains of Colorado when they haven’t been touring around the United States.  The track on this release is a mesmerizing piece.  We’d rather that you hear it for yourself rather than attempt to describe it.


The design and artwork for the release was done by Locrian’s Terence Hannum .  The cover for the release is a piece called “"Altar VII.”  For those of you around Chicago, you can view Terence’s most recent exhibition “Negative Litanies” until February 19th at Western Exhibitions.

-----------------
There’s been a bit too many pleasantries lately as I ran through those Peasant Magik tapes, so it’s time to switch gears and drop this bomb of a tape on Land Of Decay. Sun Splitter put out this album a while ago on a super limited CD-R. Obviously it’s long gone, but the finest folks at Land Of Decay did what anyone in their right mind would do when they heard II, decided it needed to see the light of day again.

Just like their Locrian brethren, Sun Splitter are a metal hydra, many different heads all connected to one beast. They play some insanely heavy black doom psych that just fucking SLAYS. This shit is extreme in every way. The blackest, the bleakeast, the sludgiest, the riffiest. SO MANY RIFFS. Monster riffs pounding your bones, pure fucking evil riffs coming straight from the depths of the underworld. Blast beats that only feel at home when they’re destroying mountains. The hounds of hell growling filthy vocals while the song lurches and stumbles. It’s 100% monster, baked in the black sun of Satan’s desert and given the power to demolish everything in its path with aural chaos. Once it gets in a groove and that killer solo sets in, you’re fucking done for.

Everything about II is the fucking BEST. It’s got a blackened doom heart pumping dusty buzzing sun psych. Sun Splitter somehow manage to sway back and forth between a dozen genres & sub-genres in one song, all while keeping it cohesive, singleminded, and brutal as fuck. I don’t think there’s any medium capable of handling the onslaught of devastation they bring, but a limited tape is as good as anything else I suppose. Just make sure if Sun Splitter ever makes it out of Chicago, you make it your #1 priority to have your face melted at one of their shows.
