Eucharism will be available exclusively through Wootini Gallery at the Blood Brothers show in North Carolina starting March 4th - 31st http://www.wootinigallery.com . Fans of the international Black Metal scene will note that Asspanther has long been considered the premier Icelandinc Black Metal band. Their brutal metal onslaught has frightened censors here in the US and their anti-religious songs "Eucharism" and "Religion is Mind Control' lash out at the hypocrisy found in the houses of the holy all around the world.

Fugue State Records ( http://fugue-state.com ) is a fictional “Extreme Music” record label created by NYC Artist, Abe Lincoln Jr. He will be using the form factor of the iconic 7″ record to release singles from the fictional Hardcore and Heavy Metal bands on the Fugue State label roster.

He'll be laser etching various materials to create the records and the sleeves will be digitally printed. Each release from Fugue State Records will be limited to no more that 10-50 pcs per colorway. Once a colorway is done it will not be released again. In support of these releases he will also be doing other Artist Multiples such as band and label “merch”. T-shirts, gig posters, stickers & zines, will be released as the project continues.

The goal with the project is to tell the story of Fugue State Records, creating a world that has continuity. There will be multiple releases from the bands on the Fugue State label roster. New bands being signed
and old bands moving on or breaking up. The project is meant to be ongoing. He plans on doing multiple art shows/record releases and putting out new Multiples regularly.
