MASK #10 Phasm - Demo II

Bursting forth from the dumpster comes a brand new tape of lunatic black metal hardcore garbage from this terrible duo. A noticeable progression from the last tape, but still a fast and noisy mess.

MASK #8 David F. Bello - Tires

While he may best be known now for being the vocalist for The World Is A Beautiful Place, many might not realize that David F. Bello has been making incredible music on his own for well over a decade. Man Of 1000 Masks is proud to release the first vinyl offering of David's solo work in the form of this 7" EP. Four hauntingly beautiful songs that beg to be repeated over and over until the needle needs replaced. I don't want to compare this to anything because that would be doing it a disservice. Listen to a track for yourself on the new bandcamp page.

It's time for some updates

- The Phasm demo is sold out from me. The band will have the last few copies at their upcoming show in Athens, OH on the 18th. Then they will be crawling back into a pile of trash to record something else. Hopefully it won't take as long as the last one did.

- Enzuigiri will be delivering another chairshot to the head of good taste in the form of a full length LP titled "Brutal Termination". This slab of horror will be accompanied to the ring by Man Of 1000 Masks, Square Of Opposition, and Broken World Media.

- Oh yeah, I should also mention another release that is in the works. To say I'm excited about this one would be an understatement. A brand new 7" from WV's own David F. Bello will be released on Man Of 1000 Masks sometime early next year. While David has been performing and touring in multiple bands in Connecticut lately (The World Is A Beautiful Place And I Am No Longer Afraid To Die, One Hundred Year Ocean, to name a couple), he's also been doing music on his own for what seems like forever. I won't bother trying to explain why it's so good, so why don't you listen for yourself? He recently put up ALL of his solo stuff up on bandcamp, so go take a listen.

- Finally, and most important of all, can anyone recommend some really good wrestling matches that I might have missed in 2013?

Mask #3 Phasm - Demo CS

A rampaging black metal mess from two Appalachian mutants. This tape has been in the works for far too long and I am glad to announce it is finally finished. Four noisy and chaotic tracks paired with some wild artwork from the always magnificent Buttcoffin.

Head on over to the store to listen to a track and pick up a copy.

Mask #9 Perfect Future - Irrational, Malleable, Inevitable 7"

The Maryland powerhouse strikes again. The follow up to their now classic "Old Wounds" LP, Perfect Future once again shows why they are the best band going in today's emo scene. You know what? Genre tags aren't fair for this band. Perfect Future is Perfect Future and they are damn good at what they do.

Your choice of black or bronze vinyl. Artwork by Alex CF. This is a split release with Count Your Lucky Stars, Sea Of Tranquility, and Not Only One Side.

Head over to the store to listen to a song from this and pick one up. I also added a couple new things to the distro from Nervosas and Landbridge.

Dirtsheet 5/8/13

Got a couple of updates for you all.

First off, the upcoming PERFECT FUTURE 7" is currently streaming on...Punknews?? Yeah, this will probably be the only time a Man Of 1000 Masks release will be on that site. Go check it out at this link. The record should be available in the store sometime in early June.

Very excited to announce that Man Of 1000 Masks will be releasing a 7" by one of Ohio's best current bands, NERVOSAS. If you have been fortunate enough to catch them in Columbus or on any of the past couple of tours they've done, then you can understand my excitement for this record. More updates on that as things come together. Check out all of their previous releases at their bandcamp

The first ENZUIGIRI 7" is now officially sold out from me. There are copies lingering around in distros. I don't know exactly which all distros are currently carrying it, but I'm sure with some searching around you can find them.

I swear the PHASM demo will still come out.

The fact that El Generico has been unmasked for WWE is a crime.

Dirtsheet 3/19/13

Man Of 1000 Masks will be releasing the absolutely incredible "Genealogy" EP by Parkersburg, WV's own BRACING on a cassette sometime soon. Have a listen at their bandcamp.

Their debut show is April 13th in Marietta, OH with Sleepwalker at the Marietta Brewing Company. You better be there. Don't be a jobber.

Dirtsheet 3/6/13

Here's the art for the upcoming Perfect Future - "Irrational, Malleable, Inevitable" 7" coming out soon. It will be a split release with Count Your Lucky Stars, Sea Of Tranquility, and Not Only One Side.

Cop Hugger/Emissions/Enzuigiri/Life Mess 4-way split 7" OUT NOW

Not a Man Of 1000 Masks release, but it does feature a new song from Enzuigiri, as well as some incredible tracks from Cop Hugger, Emissions (R.I.P.), and Life Mess. Thanks to Shout Out Loud for putting this out. I have copies available in the webstore.

Dirtsheet 1/26/13

Damn, I haven't updated in a while. Here's what's happened since the last update:

- New webstore was created. You'll  find it at http://manof1000masks.storenvy.com
- The discography page was updated.
- Pigeonholes - Live Tape was released. (Still available!)
- Enzuigiri - Live Tape was released (There's a few left!)
- Perfect Future - Live Tape was released (Gone!)
- Enzuigiri and Perfect Future went on a weekend tour that featured time travel and a robbery (no joke)
- El Generico got signed to WWE.

The Phasm demo is coming out at some point, I swear. It's been recorded for a while now.

Man Of 1000 Masks and a few other labels (Count Your Lucky Stars, Sea Of Tranquility,Not Only One Side) will be putting out a brand new 7" from Perfect Future titled "Irrational, Malleable, Inevitable". It's going to press soon and should be out within the next couple of months.

Pigeonholes have had a long period of inactivity but are back in action and will be recording for a lathe cut 7" in the near future.

Enzuigiri will be touring a little in the Northeast in February. I'll post the dates on here once everything is completely finalized.

There's another release I can't exactly discuss at the moment, but I assure you, it's absolutely apocalyptic.

That's about it for now. Keep on puking in the free world.

The mutants in PHASM have finally come out of the woods and recorded. Here's a brief taste...

Dirtsheet 7/2/12

It's been a long time since this has been updated. You'll notice the bigcartel store isn't up anymore. I'll make a new one sometime this month. There's plenty of old and new distro stuff to put up, though by the time it's up it will all be old. I still have plenty of the 2nd Enzuigiri 7", so if you want one just send me an e-mail. Still have a small amount of copies of the first 7" as well.

The Escalator/Xtra Vomit split has been canceled. Escalator is no longer a band. Toll the ring bell 10 times. It's a real shame, since they were one of my favorite active bands. I believe the tracks they recorded for the split will be going on some compilations. R.I.P.

What does the future hold for Man Of 1000 Masks? Well, the Phasm demo should go into action as soon as those ghouls get out of the woods and record something. The songs have been written for over a year now, and if you've caught any of the TWO shows they've played in the past year and a half, you've heard them. I hear there's an instrumental recording floating around somewhere on the Internet...

Following that (or maybe coming out before) will be a live tape from Pigeonholes. There will be plenty of extras included with it. It will go fast. Almost too fast. Stay on your toes.

Mask #4 Enzuigiri - Welcome To Die 7"

The 2nd top rope powerbomb by this band of wrestling obsessed freaks from the Mid-Ohio Valley. Three more tracks of riff-heavy, high flying hardcore with some chilled out slower parts thrown in as well, because every good squared circle bout needs some rest holds. I would throw in some band comparisons, but none of it would make any sense. Just take a listen on the link below.



Covers were painstakingly put together by yours truly. Transparencies, hand stamped labels, stickers, multiple inserts, free download slip, the whole nine yards. Artwork by Brad Pierce.

Enzuigiri is playing the 6th annual Berea Fest this coming weekend (7/15-7/16) in lovely Berea, OH. I hope the organizers realize what a mistake they've made by letting that happen.

The complete lineup is posted on the fest's website at http://www.bereafest.org.

I was hoping to at least have some test presses of the new 7" for this, but that just won't be happening. There will be new shirts, though. That's kind of cool, right?

Mask #4: Enzuigiri - 2nd 7"


Wasn't Wrestlemania awful this year? What a mess.

I'm going to be setting up an online shop sometime in the near future so orders won't have to be done through e-mail anymore. I'll even have some new distro items.

If you're in or around the WV area, there's a GREAT show happening on May 13th in Parkersburg.

Escalator
Panzram
Enzuigiri
Pigeonholes

I'll post more info as things come together.

I have a couple of those tour cd-rs left, so send me an e-mail if you want one.
