For the past 10 years, the Annihilvs label has been a staple in the New York-area Post-Industrial & Power Electronics scene. Owned and operated by Leech of Navicon Torture Technologies, Annihilvs has worked with a cross-section of artists that span the spectrum of Industrial music. In the late 90s and early on in the new millennium, with the formation of the weekly industrial event ATROCITY, Leech (and by extension, Annihilvs) was involved in the organization of numerous live performances by landmark artists in the underground. Early ATROCITY shows included the milestone, first ever NYC appearance of Noisex, which was followed by a slew of underground electronic shows during the following years. Whether it was independently, or in cooperation with other entities, during the years 1998-2002 Annihilvs organized performances in New York City by the following artists: Ah Cama-Sotz, Asche, Aural Blasphemy, Converter, Cruelty Campaign, Death Squad, Dysmorphia, Exercise in Disgust, Fragment King, Holocaust Theory, Hydra, Hypnoskull, Imminent Starvation, Klangstabil, Meson, Travis Morgan, Morgenstern, Noisex, NoizGuild, No Festival of Light, Orphx, Pain Receptor, P•A•L, Silksaw, Synapscape, Synth-Etik, Tarmvred, Terror Organ, Vromb, Winterkälte and more. In June 2005, Leech organized the APEX FEST, featuring the first US appearances of Swedish cult acts Irm, Institut, Jarl and Kaiten, sharing the stage with American artists Omei, Post Scriptvm, Slogun and Canadian act SKM-ETR. As a label, Annihilvs has risen from its modest beginnings in August 1997 as the first outlet for NTT, to set a standard for releasing high quality industrial albums; maintaining the DIY ethos of an organization owned and operated by a passionate artist, rather than functioning as an opportunistic vehicle for commercial gain or pretentious social status. The Annihilvs roster has grown to include recognized names in the industrial underground such as Irm, Jarl, Propergol, and Wilt, while working closely with lesser-known local artists such as Black Centipede, Silent_Command, and M Slagle. Plans are currently in the works for an expansion of the scope and reach of the label, as Leech continues pressing onward and upward, striving toward maintaining his presence as a positive force in the New York underground scene. In September 2006, Annihilvs, in partnership with fellow NYC-based promoters Brooklyn Dildo Factory, founded the series of live events known as UNSOUND. With the intention of breathing revitalizing air to New York City, UNSOUND has hosted a diverse range of underground industrial, ambient, post-metal, doom, drone and experimental artists: Angel of Decay, Aidan Baker, Ästen, The Beta Cloud, Black Centipede, Casey Block, Marc Burch (a member of Industrial legends Schloss Tegal), Cenotype, Clipped, Conure, Coven of One (a member of The Legendary Pink Dots and Dead Voices on Air collaborator), Death by a Thousand Cuts, Destructo Swarmbots, Edgey, Iszoloscope, The [Law-Rah] Collective, Mekh, Todd Merrell, MGR (Mike Gallagher of Isis), Mutus Liber, Nadja, Negativehate, Novelist, Ocean, James Plotkin, Power Circus, Prometheus Burning, Radial, Replogen, Sikhara, Silent_Command, Sleep Museum, Skincage, Statas, Terrorfakt, Tonikom, Troum, Unearthly Trance, Whitehorse, Wilt, Woe is Me, Bain Wolfkind, Tim Wyskida, Zerodollars and Z'ev. In October 2007, UNSOUND produced APEX FEST II, a two day darkambient and power electronics event featuring performances by Deutsch Nepal, Bain Wolfkind, Land:Fire, Steel Hook Prostheses, Skincage, Herbst9, Visions, Sistrenatus, Travis Morgan and Post Scriptvm. In the time since UNSOUND was founded, it has gone through various transformations, the first of which was our transition from THE LUCKY CAT in Williamsburg, Brooklyn to THE PUSSYCAT LOUNGE in downtown Manhattan. DJ Sickrobot formed her own label and promotional organisation called BROOKLYN DILDO FACTORY, and the event went from being presented by DJ SICKROBOT & DJ LEECH to being presented by my label ANNIHILVS POWER ELECTRONIX & BROOKLYN DILDO FACTORY. Most recently, BROOKLYN DILDO FACTORY has taken a less active role in the promotion of UNSOUND and the organisation of shows has more or less become a two-man endeavour, between myself and longtime friend and collaborator DJ TENEBRE. On Saturday January 26, 2008, UNSOUND will produce our biggest event yet. Advance tickets are now on sale for UNSOUND on Saturday January 26, 2008, featuring SCOTT KELLY (NEUROSIS) & JARBOE (ex-SWANS), who will be joined on stage by love is nothing. (the new project of Leech of NAVICON TORTURE TECHNOLOGIES). Also appearing are Crowleyan doom sorcerers UNEARTHLY TRANCE, legendary experimentalist JAMES PLOTKIN (ex-KHANATE), STEVE MOORE (of prog-horror freaks ZOMBI), and electronic/sludge/doom outfit INSWARM. On this night, UNSOUND will be celebrating the artwork of world-renowned graphic artist SELDON HUNT, as well as the release of VTERVS, the new album by NTT, on NCC RECORDS. Later events in 2008 will feature collaborative promoting between UNSOUND and THTFL, an experimental and drone metal collective who formerly organised events at THE WATER STREET LOUNGE in Brooklyn. THTFL has now been re-formed as a label, and after talking to them on and off for almost a year about collaborating on events, it has now come to pass. This amazing event will take place at The Pussycat Lounge on Saturday January 26th, following two nights of NEUROSIS shows at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple (1/24 & 1/25 ), presented by VICE RECORDS. Tickets can be purchased in advance through Paypal by clicking on the animated gif at the top of this page. In anticipation of this event, i've posted a new mp3 mix by DJ LEECH.
