Re-Gen Magazine has published an very in-depth interview with Dru Allen and Summer Bowman of Mirabilis. (Be patient, it takes a coupla secs to load). Learn how they collaborate as writers, what’s happening with This Ascension and the Machine in the Garden, and how being a tri-athlete is goth! Plus more then just a few words on their upcoming new release, "Sub Rosa," which is set to be released late Fall 2007. It's a great read!

Next weekend the Convergence 13 dark culture festival gathers in Portland, OR. Among the many friends and performers we'll be missing, (sniff!), will be Dru Allen, Soriah and Paul Mercer.

First up, Paul Mercer of The Changelings will be helping to open the weekend-long party with a special performance at Friday's (May 25th) Official C13 Reception / Meet & Greet, which begins 2 PM.

Then fast forward a bit as Dru (of Mirabilis and This Ascension) will be opening for Soriah (aka Enrique of Sumerland) on Sunday, May 27 at the Victorian Sunday Mourning Rehydration Service at The Old Church beginning at 1PM.

The service will just be one unique event over a weekend of performances and festivities which include Skinny Puppy, Frontline Assembly, and Faith & The Muse. Plus film festivals, art and fashion shows, panels (!?) ... and drinking! Huzzah!

Now do you wish you were going? Well, you still can. There's still time to make arrangements. Just check out the official page.

Jason Wallach aka The UnQuiet Void is scoring the soundtrack to the forthcoming horror film Closet Space. The trailer’s on the TUQV website, plus there’s a full clip of a death scene which links from Dread Central . It’s pretty bloody, so consider yourself warned (or enticed). Lot’s of horror and cruelty spilling forth from an unknown dimension, plus music by the Unquiet Void; it’s going to be pretty sweet!

Oh, there’s also two more recent interviews. First there’s the excellent and rather in-depth interview with Jason on ReGenmag.com, where’s TUQV's Shadow-Haunted Outside was named one of the best of 2006 .

Then, Jason talks gear (aptly) with Gearwire. Twittlin’ knobs to summon hell!

If you don’t know what all the hub-bub’s about, bub, then check it.

Movement Magazine has published an interview with The UnQuiet Void’s aural auteur, Jason Wallach. Nine in depth questions and answers about his past, his present, the latest adddition (The Shadow-Haunted Outside) to his HP Lovecraft trilogy, and his future plans. Whew! Beware Providence! ]]> http://www.middlepillar.com/archives/2007/04/unquiet_void_in.html http://www.middlepillar.com/archives/2007/04/unquiet_void_in.html Thu, 26 Apr 2007 17:02:13 -0500 UnQuiet Reviews! The UnQuiet Void - Shadow-Haunted Outside Well, this is certainly looog past due! See here, people are loving The UnQuiet Void’s latest opus, The Shadow-Haunted Outside! Keep reading for positive reviews from Side-Line and Re-Gen magazine among others. My favorite quip comes from Liar Society which advises using Shadow-Haunted Outside to keep greedy children away during Halloween night. Keep in mind you cannot enjoy our shared tentacled future without the right soundtrack presciently cataloging our cold dark, demise. ]]> http://www.middlepillar.com/archives/2007/04/unquiet_reviews_1.html http://www.middlepillar.com/archives/2007/04/unquiet_reviews_1.html Sat, 21 Apr 2007 15:00:46 -0500 Winter Solstice 2006 Happy Holiday
