We don't have anything new for this bandcamp day, but Margaret's other band @feminazgul put out an incredible split with @Awenden_metal on @tridroidrecords, and Jack contributed vocals to a song on that and also a PJ Harvey cover on @eversonpoe's latest covers album. Links below

Happy #MayDay to all the workers of the world, from Myanmar to Maine, to the coal miners, grad student workers, nurses, fast food workers, construction workers, sex workers, incarcerated workers, and every worker of every stripe. The cause of labor is the hope of the world🖤

[alsarath @alsarath]

We're both part of this project and we're really excited about it.

if you're into blood and soil we would be happy to mingle the two for you

Here's our new song. All proceeds from the sale of this single go to the International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund to support anti-fascists and anti-racists anywhere in the world.

the art is an 1899 piece called Uprising, by Käthe Kollwitz, about the German Peasant's War of 1525. Käthe was an anti-war and anti-Nazi socialist and broke a number of ceilings for women in the world of art. But we also just like the black flag and the scythes.

[alsarath @alsarath]

this week or next we're going to release a new single, Cast Fire, as a benefit for the international anti-fascist defense fund. This is the first song we've written together across a closed border. Here's the cover.

[alsarath @alsarath]

jack here. i just released a demo for my solo flute drone project @amariornoise today as part of demo fest. all proceeds from this and 200 other demos go to solidarity across borders https://t.co/QjMYbC12vb

[alsarath @alsarath]

first of these tapes by @Realmandritual we've seen in the wild! 🖤

*in a story margaret wrote, the night before the new moon is called alsarath, and it's the night where you ritually cast out anything you want to be rid of before you set intentions on the new moon. this is what our band is named after

[alsarath @alsarath]

we send out a very nerdy email once per month on the night before the new moon* and at least one person likes it. you can sign up at https://t.co/I2yMJFvPxd

[alsarath @alsarath]

if you need any further proof of her genius, listen to her podcasts (‘live like the world is dying’ and ‘we will remember freedom’) or her other music projects (@feminazgul and vulgarite), or go read her books (i esp recommend ‘the lamb will slaughter the lion’)

[alsarath @alsarath]

it’s @magpiekilljoy’s birthday today. go tell her how amazing she is

[alsarath @alsarath]

seriously though, if you like this band, which presumably you do if you’re following us, then it’s to margaret that you owe its existence. i (jack) would probably never have had the courage to make/release music if it weren’t for her
