[ FEBRUARY 14, 2019 ]

2019 marks 22 years since ANNIHILVS was founded, and we're coming out swinging with four new preorders. Three pro-duped CD-R releases and one cassette constitute our first batch of the year. 
First, after nearly five years since its initial announcement, the first EP by TELLADICTORIAN is finally on its way. This will be quickly followed by the first full-length album from Terence Hannum's BRUTALISM, with the second full-length by TEN THOUSAND MILES OF ARTERIES close behind. Soon after, we present a new cassette by BOB BELLERUE. All four of these releases are currently in production and should begin to arrive here in early March.

We have several other items coming in the near future, including the long-awaited collaborative/split release from GYNA BOOTLEG+LVMMVX, followed by a new album by Portland Oregon's TERROR APART, the final nail in the coffin for Pippi Zornoza's VVLTVRE, and a new shirt+digital release from SNOWBEASTS (in collaboration with THEOLOGIAN). New shirts for ANNIHILVS and THEOLOGIAN will surface later in the year. The BONEDUST shirt design has been completed. Bundle items for this and the KINTAAN album will go into production shortly.

This label relaunch includes a new website and a new Instagram account, and a new site for THEOLOGIAN is also in progress.

Our friends at HEATHEN HARVEST have been kind enough to aid us in our campaign to spread the word about everything we're releasing in the relatively immediate future.

Thanks for continuing to support these endeavours, more is coming!

ANNIHILVS now has a new account up on INSTAGRAM. Please follow us there for new release updates and related content, and check out our new website (now back with our original annihilvs.org domain, which had been lost to us for years) for more in-depth information.

Speaking of Instagram, ANNIHILVS presents this shirt featuring The Next Great Truth of Our Times: THE INTERNET RUINED MUSIC. As with its predecessor, INDUSTRIAL MUSIC IS PROTEST MUSIC, the shirt features text on the front and the ANNIHILVS "PENTANGOAT" logo (designed by Jorden Haley/BIRD OV PREY) on the back.

TELLADICTORIAN. PAINPUDDING CD-R EP


For the better part of the last decade, multi-disciplinary artist Nikki Telladictorian worked as one half of Pittsburgh-based industrial act PROMETHEUS BURNING, who released a series of increasingly fantastic albums ranging in style from hard-hitting rhythmic powernoise to retro electro-industrial inspired by late 80s/early 90s Wax Trax! era dance music. 
With the impending dissolution of PROBURN becoming apparent in 2014, Nikki had already begun working on solo material, which ultimately became this release.
As she says herself, "The Painpudding EP is the result of one live session, with all content being improvised in the moment. Hail to the dark dreams that become reality." This release has been in the works for nearly five years, and 2019 sees it finally realised with a beautiful layout by Derek Rush, and expert audio mastering by J. Stillings of STEEL HOOK PROSTHESES.
Later in 2019, ANNIHILVS will release the debut full-length album from TELLADICTORIAN, produced in collaboration with THEOLOGIAN.

BRUTALISM. THE CHARGED VOID CD-R


The debut full-length album from Terence Hannum's new atmospheric black metal project follows the SYMMETRY DEATH limited 7inch lathe from ANATHEMATA EDITIONS. BRUTALISM is at once harsh and meditative, distorted and expansive. 
This professionally-manufactured CD-R is released in conjunction with a cassette edition from CLOISTER RECORDINGS.

"Deterritorialization. Intimate Brutality at the very moment of participation in surrounding nature."

TEN THOUSAND MILES OF ARTERIES. SURVIVAL BLOOM CD-R


Our previous release by this project, EVEN SPILLED SEED CRAWLS TOWARD THE WOMB, remains a favourite from our recent slate, and the October 2017 split with WET NURSE. from MALIGNANT RECORDS is an unyielding masterpiece.
This time around, Noah Lane Coleman eschews the ominous distorted tones of earlier material, in deference to a more minimal, martial approach. Scrap metal and the strains of majestic horns open the album, heralding the approach of some unbearable tribulation. Colossal bombast and searing feedback serve as a fitting theme for mankind's march toward inevitability.

BOB BELLERUE. ASCETIC ADDICT CASSETTE


ANNIHILVS presents this new cassette release by BOB BELLERUE (KILT, BLESSED THISTLE, HALFNORMAL). A dense storm of intense sound recorded in a small room with big amps, ASCETIC ADDICT features two movements of relentless feedback brutality and unyielding drone, resulting in a wicked juxtaposition of antithetical sensory experiences.
 

Pippi Zornoza's shirt design for the BONEDUST bundle is finally completed! We can't wait to get these printed. The limited lathe-cut 7inches and cassettes will go into production very soon. The digipak CD-R and bundle are still available for preorder.

THEOLOGIAN provided the score for the second edition of H.P. Lovecraft's HALLOWEEN IN A SUBURB & OTHERS 7inch vinyl released by CADABRA RECORDS. These will become available at noon on February 14 (today).

THIS IS DARKNESS have released their massive new compilation, VOL. 2 NOTHINGNESS, featuring an exclusive track by THEOLOGIAN. The compilation boasts a whopping total of 55 tracks in all. by an amazing array of artists working within the darkambient spectrum, including our friends APOCRYPHOS, MURDEROUS VISIONJARL, and ASMOROD.
 
ANNIHILVS POWER ELECTRONIX is an independent record label founded in 1997 by Lee M. Bartow, a longtime contributor to the world of unorthodox music, staunchly dedicated to releasing quality material by artists working with the varied substrata and strains of obscure, "dark" electronic music, as well as affiliated genres and forms of extreme sound. Countless live shows, festivals, and tours have been organised under the ANNIHILVS banner.

"When it comes to supporters and promoters of the scene, they don’t get any more passionate or dedicated than Lee Bartow of Annihilvs Power Electronix..." - Heathen Harvest Periodical, 2016

Spearheading the label is Bartow's solo industrial project THEOLOGIAN, which now enters the eleventh official year since its inception. Described as "blackened synth death" by influential label Crucial Blast, THEOLOGIAN has released albums via Battleground Records, Cipher Productions, Crucial Blast, Danvers State, Handmade Birds, Malignant Records, Metaphysik, and more. The project has collaborated and performed with a multitude of artists from around the world.

"I believe that when Leech became Theologian Prime, he stated with a name that he was ready to be something that fit the vision of a Hierophant some might envision when hearing it, to be respected, to impart his wisdom of experience in a more composed and unflinchingly somber way." - Heathen Harvest, 2012

"There’s something powerful, otherworldly, in Theologian’s music that transcends not only genre classifications like ‘dark ambient’ and ‘power electronics’, but time and space as well." - Electronic Beats, 2013

"The melodic noise textures constructed by Theologian have an intrinsic sense of desperation and deferent lucidity, so that the more openly one is infused with them, the more they are likely to partake in a genuine simulacrum of pain or pure death." - Santa Sangre Magazine, 2015
