2014 could have been worse, but I'm glad its over.

So many friends and allies suffered and struggled in 2014. Many in the United States are waking up to the realization that they are not living in a post-racial society, not at all. There is still systematic oppression in our section of the "free world" and the police are agents of the state, above all. Enough.

I've got a great release schedule so far for 2015. The SALOME'S DANCE/SIERPIEN split cassette is at NAC right now, and will be out in January or February. SALOME'S DANCE also digitally released their full-length album on their Bandcamp page  a few months ago, and I will try to get that LP version out as soon as I can. AIR HUNGER is a long-distance international project for which I'm playing guitar (also featuring much more talented members who will be revealed as the project comes to light, I can't give away all the secrets at once), and I'm really excited that we will be releasing a two song 7" single, hopefully in the second quarter of this year.

Last, but DEFINITELY not least, Occult Whispers will also be releasing a 7" from ANNEX out of Mc Allen, Texas sometime this summer. Go listen to them. I'm very much looking forward to putting that record out, they're excellent. 
There's a few more offers I'm considering this year, and I hope to be able to be involved in all of them, including another POSSESSOR record and the spoken word incantations of Charnel House.

After waiting quite long enough, I've uploaded some of the OW releases to Bandcamp. You can now download Possessor's "Electric Hell" and the Salome's Dance demo for free. There are a limited number of free downloads Bandcamp allows each month, so first come, first served. I'll put up any of my releases which are OK with the bands. I'm also considering exclusively digital distribution of some new releases, since some people just don't have an interest in physical copies of music anymore. Welcome to the future.

As always, if you're in a dark, noisy, or interesting band- I want to hear your music, please send it my way. occultwhispers at hushmail.

Take care of each other.
