THREAD – James Izzo, The Boy Without Limits

Obituary by James Babbo

"THREAD is the river, the tree, love and hate. THREAD is the association, the metaphor, the abstract connection between tangible & intangible." - James Izzo (1977-2011)

James Izzo, RIP

KD — 2011-09-02T11:51:21-05:00

I was very saddened to learn today that James Izzo passed away yesterday afternoon in his sleep. James recorded, performed and remixed under the name Thread for Middle Pillar Presents, but also under the name Boy Without Hands. He will be missed by fans, friends and family.

I wanted to thank everyone for their years of awesome support, but unfortunately from here on out, all Middle Pillar titles will be primarily available from Amazon.com, Projekt.com and hopefully any other dark music e-tailer of your preference.

It is worth noting during this season of ghostly chills and frights, that the long out of print debut from A Murder of Angels, While You Sleep, is now available for download on iTunes. Black Magazine described it as "...precise in evoking a feeling of gooseflesh at dusk." Horror-On-Line flat out called it "...the scariest thing you'll hear all year!" Listen at your own risk.
