All Saints' Day is the reason Catholic School children can sleep off their candy comas on November 1; the yin to Halloween's yang. It is also The New Heaven and The New Earth's recorded debut. It is the love child of the poison of guilt and the promise of redemption. Masculine yet feminine; insular yet accessible; stalwart yet fragile. It is the product of paradox, that same internal struggle that plagued those holy men to whom The New Heaven and The New Earth pay tribute in deed if not in word.
Roger Alejandro Martinez is that rare songwriter, the avant classicist. The fruits of his craft are both foreign yet oddly familiar. The fingerpicked guitars and autoharp recall a distant America, now just a memory; yet the country All Saints Day calls home is not Appalachia. It is farther away, foggier, a nation born of myth and superstition. Understated strings weave in and out of harmoniums, like a whip-poor-will lost among the pines. Pianos ring out from beneath the haze. Harmonies haunt these songs like the ghosts of so many ashen witches.
This cassette release is encased in spraypainted butterboard, and each case features cut-out "stained glass" windows made with tin-foil, tape, and magic marker.
RIYL sacred hearts, chloroform, arpeggios.
All Saints' Day is available on cassette in a limited run of 100.

In the first three months of production I have sold 22 Persona Series Cassettes. These albums are completely original 45 minute recordings, named after the purchaser who also retains full rights to further production of, and broadcast of the release. Each Persona Tape comes with 2 hand drawn mini posters, and a hand drawn cover. This is the most unique and exciting release you will ever own, order yours now for $10 (domestic shipping included, international shipping determined by distance) while I still feel like making them! Thanks for your time, and thanks for letting me advertise on this site :)

Another hint: Ok so let's say you can fuck yourself and make a baby and be that baby and fuck other babies and make more babies and you are those babies too expcet nobody's a baby and you're all in this band
The five dollars got us all the way home. The twenty five cents helped to feed us Frito's and encounter Simon, the singing hubcap cleaner in Baltimore. We all thought you sounded amazing and they EACH wanted a copy of your music but we couldn't afford it as no one made any money. But we have a really nice picture of the performance we will send you once it is uploaded. Thank you. I would like to perform with you again really soon.
My new full length Novaya Zemlya is now available from Haute Magie Records (Texas). The Zarach Baal Tharagh / Zebulon Kosted Split is out on Kapustin Yar Records (Montana). My Persona Personal Cassette Series is still going strong, order them directly from me. The Z.K. interview with Damned By Light Magazine in Finland is posted in my blog section, please give it a read and leave a comment.
