Grimmness/Kastchei split. Winter/Spring 2016.

The split features four new Kastchei tracks and will be available as a self-released cassette tape and download via Bandcamp.

Stay tuned.

All instruments and vocals for the upcoming split are now recorded. There's some rudimentary post-production/mixing/mastering to be done, but so far it's sounding pretty evil. Further details will follow once my partner in nihilism has recorded their contributions.

New Stuff

Kastchei is currently writing/recording/fiddling with a fair amount of new material. A few of these tracks should appear on a split at some point this year. Who knows what will happen to the others. These new songs incorporate elements of hardcore, noise, and industrial music that haven't really come out on previous material. More updates with increasing frequency as the recording progresses.

This blog is not dead. I haven't posted in a while but I'm working on new recordings.

I bought one of these things (a Korg Monotron Delay)

Korg do a range of really cheap analogue synthesisers. This is one of them. I plan on massively overusing it on the next Kastchei thing, and for live sets (if that happens). I'd recommend this to anyone who likes kitschy sci-fi sounds.
