in the whirlwind of the fiesta
the long rope keeping us from deep space is being pulled with ever-increasing strength and urgency. the Corpse drops onto the American soil in a few days (9/23) and the wscientists are scrambling to make sure all the pieces fit. in the meantime, a new video has surfaced (see below) and a stretch of live ‘intimate’ … Continue reading
A CORPSE WIRED FOR SOUND
that feeling of hot air slapping you across the face… it wasn’t all just talk. don’t you know it all happens for a reason? the seemingly pointless rituals, “the motions,” etc., all coagulate. the mass, imperceptible, is something nonetheless. block upon block upon block, stacked for millennia, have delivered us to this moment. in times of mass … Continue reading
wMangled Context
the summer’s heat is fierce and uncompromising, hotter and hotter still. under this swelling pressure, the mind’s frame softens and falls under risk of a melt. this seems to be happening to the wMerchmen down in the Sunshine State. fra Vassalotti threw some LP’s and a harddrive into the cauldron and came out with the heavy mix collage streamable below. a massive cut-up of … Continue reading
“…an eyeful of their machinations!”
Streaks and rumblings, wind-songs… and in a flash of lightning, BOOM, here we are together once more, reunited after all these years. My apologies, friends, for hibernating wordlessly and shirking my duties as e-mouthpiece for these befuddled dopeheads. Marchendes lives, and if he breathes, he speaks. On behalf of wMerchandise, I will once again be bringing you up-to-date … Continue reading

It’s always preferable not to travel with a dead man.
A new and uncertain year is almost upon us. A brief update now couldn’t hurt. We’re still hard at work on the new record. 99.5% of the way there. Should be available via Night People this upcoming February. You will also have the opportunity to pick it up from us (in the flesh) on a … Continue reading
Methinks it is no journey.
We are back from our 40day trek across (a solid half) of North America. Thanks to everyone who helped with the shows, came out, bought merch, etc. Our apologies to those who were put out by the confusion stemming from our last-minute cancellations/moved shows/obscure addresses. Things will run more smoothly in the future. We’re putting … Continue reading
A gibbet rose from the ground.
our 5-week trek across the US (and some of Canada) beings tomorrow and we couldn’t be more excited. some things have changed since the last update and some things are still in the process of changing. we’ll post about those once they are confirmed. of note: we’ve added a daytime matinee show in Willimantic, CT … Continue reading
