Thanatos first LP, "This Endless Night Inside" came out in November, 1993. As anyone who looks in at this site knows I am doing an acoustic show Friday, September 27, 2013 to "celebrate" this anniversary. As I keep mentioning ad nauseum I am going to play some of the tunes from this LP live for the first time. Other songs I that haven't been performed since back when we used to tour are going to make an appearance as well.

Now, until the day before the show, you can stream or download the LP, in its entirety free. Look below or head HERE.

You can also purchase tickets to the New York City show HERE. I cannot say for 100 percent certain right now but this is looking like it will be the only anniversary show since I have a limited time that I am available to DO shows in the Fall. I'd say I am about 90% sure this will be the only show. If there is another show it will likely be in Chicago. No plans whatever to go elsewhere.

Some of you may have missed but the latest Thanatos release, The Exterminating Angel, being available for download at Bandcamp for a whopping $5. You can, of course, stream the record too. But I mean don't you want to OWN it?

This LP took ages to complete and we were going to put a physical release out on Projekt but, after thinking about it? Decided not to.  These days CDs just don't seem to sell for us small time artists.

I also thought about doing these as singles but ....its out and I tend to not dwell on what is done. In any case, have a listen and if you like it spend the $5.

This is the first show I will have played in over two and a half years.  I do not play a large number of shows. The last time I played outside Chicago was even further back. In Austin, Texas at Elysium I think. Without looking it up that has to be about five years back.

In addition that New York's Niabi recently decided to go on hiatus. It might even be this project's last show ever.

Add to that the fact this is one of the FIRST shows for Binary Partners and it means I really think you should come. You can get advanced tickets HERE.

The photo to the right is of me passed out...not from booze but from exhausting...at a show in Charlotte NC. We drove there straight through from Chicago, then didn't sleep at all and played a show. Then we drove to another show in Titusville, Florida.

So there is one show booked for the 20th anniversary of the release of the first Thanatos LP, This Endless Night Inside ,(at Spectrum in NYC on September 27, 2013).

I am not doing anything else in the northeast but would consider doing one or two other shows elsewhere. So far there is the possibility of a Chicago show? But that is nowhere near confirmed (and if it isn't confirmed in a week...two weeks....it isn't happening).

So where else? Does anyone else have a suggestion. There will be no more than three shows for the anniversary so if the Chicago one does come through there will be maybe one other. And by "suggestions" I mean a place not just a city. It can be a small small place, a gallery or the like.

I am being pretty picky about these shows.

I found the Nekropolis compilation while in Florida recently.  The comp was put out by a club based in Hamilton, Ontario. We played one of our first shows ever at the club in 1996 touring to support of the Embassy to Gaius CD (sort of).

This track was recorded at the Tremont Music Hall in Charlotte, NC a year or so later on a more southerly oriented tour. Charlotte was, in fact, the first date. We had an eventful drive from Chicago all the way down to the show.

The Tremont was a way bigger venue than we needed to play in but it was a fun night.  You can download this free and I assure you I shall play this in NYC, September 27, 2013.
