We are back after a summer break and we have 2 releases coming out this fall. The first is from Terence Hannum most notably known for his work with Locrian and his recent zine work which has been shown in both the USA and Japan. We are proud to present to you his latest work titled "In The Sign". This Cassette comes with new compositions from Hannum as well as a full color and full sized newspaper made specifically for this piece. This release is limited to only 100 copies but is part of an on going audio/visual quarterly series Terence Hannum will be doing for Accidental Guest Recordings. Pre orders will ship the week of September 17. Release date for non pre orders is September 25th and will be extremely limited.  Below is a few words from Hannum explaining this challenging and haunting work:

"In the Sign" began from listening to Sodom's "In the Sign of Evil" and reading Paul Ricoeur's "The Symbolism of Evil".  It was a very obvious combination that made me want to begin with a very orthodox metal premise and allow it to mutate into something that no longer represented its origin.  To me this album represented a classic in its genre that spilled over into further abjection in other subgenres of metal.  It corrupted into the future beyond its initial sublimely feral inception.

For the past two years I have been making art based around the pentagram as an offshoot of my practice, this has resulted in sculptures, castings, laser etchings, drawings, collages and other media.  All trying to escape and leave behind the reference to its ubiquity in the genre of heavy metal and both bring up its past as a true symbol for cults (i.e. Pythagoreans) and towards a new future.The audio on the cassette is composed of analog synthesizer drones using five notes each, to make this fog of dissonance that rises and dissipates, all except for the last song are 5 minutes.  These should be listened to while viewing the newspaper.
