"I told my love, I told my love,
I told her all my heart,
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears—
Ah, she doth depart."
- William Blake
This past winter was like one long and brutal night, filled with bad
dreams and hunger pains, but for what it's worth I'm still here.
My life took some turns I wasn't prepared for, and I know that I have
lost some pretty significant pieces of myself along the way, but there's
nothing I can do but limp onward. I have nothing more to give than my love.
01. [NTT.FINAL PHASE] 5XCDR
Progress has been made finally, and the remaining copies of [NTT.FINAL
PHASE] are nearing completion. I plan/hope to get them all packaged
tonight and to possibly ship them out beginning tomorrow.
Other overdue orders will be forthcoming alongside these parcels.
02. NTT. THE GOSPELS OF THE GASH-LIMITED BOXED EDITION
This monolithic release is on its way to completion. I have collected 17
of the 18 tracks that will appear of YOUR SUFFERING WILL BE LEGENDARY,
the two-disc collection of remixes and collaborations which will serve
as the final nail in the NTT coffin.
Starting tonight, I will be mastering this material with my good friend
Kevin Reilly at Last Stop during the next week or so, while I wait for
the final track to come in. The shirts and printed matter are in
production as I sit here.
The official release date of the boxset will be April 23. No price has
been set as of this moment, so please hold off on contacting MALIGNANT
until the formal announcement is made.
03. NTT. BOTTOMFEEDER
It had been my hope that this cassette would have seen the light of day
by now, but hopefully it shouldn't be too much longer.
04. THE SWEET SUFFERING SERIES
Beginning in June, I will be partnering up with Lenny B of CENOTYPE to
form a new label imprint called SWEET SUFFERING, a combined effort of
ANNIHILVS and ORIGINS PRODUCTIONS. This will consist of a series of
limited CD releases (most likely distributed via MALIGNANT RECORDS),
covering a broad spectrum of underground, electronic and experimental
music ranging from darkambient and power electronics to doom and post-metal.
The first release in this series will be the long-delayed solo album
from Martin Bladh of IRM, STUDY FOR A THEATER OF CRUELTY. More on this
as plans develop.

The NTT webspace has been dramatically updated, and I will continue to
tweak it and add some new features leading up to the release of the boxset.

That is all there is for now.
Thank you.
