5.31.02…

MUTATIONS and NFTRU #3 are both available in stores everywhere now. There are some incredible tracks on both of them, so I highly recommend picking them up.

We are currently preparing the European version of ELECTROLUST for release on Black Flames Records. It will feature additional remixes by Razed <in> Black, En Esch [of kmfdm and slick idiot], Girls Under Glass, and Freecycle, as well as new graphics and an extended booklet.

MMTM will be touring again in the first weeks of August, so check back for dates and venues.

There should be a HUGE announcement soon about a MMTM deal with an excellent U.S. label…

4.12.2…

A European version of ELECTROLUST, featuring additional tracks, will be available exclusively on BLACK FLAMES RECORDS. We're psyched about this new relationship with BFR and are looking forward to the official European release. It will be available in stores all over Europe and the first MMTM European Tour is imminent.

We received an advanced copy of the MUTATIONS compilation and it is amazing!!! You should a check it out when it is released next month. The Slick Idiot, Thrill Kill, and Bile tracks are all sick.

Make sure to pick up NFTRU#3 when it is released on the April 30th. It's only a couple of weeks away.

I have been offered some great booking opportunities, so continue to check back for tour dates in your area.

2.11.2…

I’ve received a lot email about booking, so there should be a kick ass MMTM tour this Spring! Tell your local promoter to contact me if you want to see us at your favorite nights. The new visuals for the live show are really progressing…

Due to inconsistencies in the major on-line CD distributors ability to process orders for MMTM CDs; we have added a new site to our on-line CD distribution. ROBOT and ELECTROLUST are both available on CDBABY.COM.

Though CDBABY.COM is a less well-known name, they are an extremely reliable distributor with a great reputation. I apologize to anyone who has had difficulties laying out their hard earned $ for MMTM CDs.

12.12.1…

Tasha and I decided to completely rework the visuals for the MMTM live shows over the winter. We have already completed a large portion of the set and it looks incredible!!! We can't wait to have everyone see the new show.

In case you haven't seen it yet, there is an MMTM interview in the new SIDE-LINE!!! It has Front Line Assembly on the cover and a pretty cool interview with Girls Under Glass.

Two new MMTM songs, not just remixes, will be available in January on Invisible Records’ NOTES FROM THEE REAL UNDERGROUND [vol.3]. The two songs are titled ‘Vlad:XIII’ and ‘Decimate the Enemy’.

MP3's of VLAD:XIII and DECIMATE THE ENEMY available on the audio page!!!

11.16.1…

The more news that I watch and read, the more uncomfortable I get with the domestic agenda that our current administration is pushing through under the guise of ‘fighting terrorism’.

Everyone is so caught-up in blind patriotism that they are forgetting that dissent against injustice IS PATRIOTISM. Don't take my word for it: look at what is going on around you…

Anyway:
There is an MMTM interview in the new SIDE-LINE!!! You definitely want to pick that up.

Two new MMTM songs, not just remixes, will be available in January on Invisible Records’ NOTES FROM THEE REAL UNDERGROUND [vol.3]. The two songs are titled ‘Vlad:XIII’ and ‘Decimate the Enemy’.

I’ll put some audio samples up soon! I think that ‘Vlad:XIII’ might be my favorite MMTM song ever.

10.5.1…

Life goes on after 9.11.1. Our thoughts are still with our friends from Boston and NYC who lost loved-ones.

The first dates of the MMTM 2001 FALL TOUR are posted here on the shows page. There will be some more confirmations very soon.

There will be MORE new MMTM material released soon through some new sources, so check back for details. There is some HUGE news developing on this front…

We are assembling a vast on-line resource for our links page so please contact us about banner exchanges.

9.13.1...

We posted a quote from the ELECTROLUST review in OUTBURN on the press page. You should go pick up this issue [#16]. They've added color pages inside the magazine and re-arranged things into genre-based columns. The layout looks better than ever!!!

I have confirmed some Fall Tour dates already. Once a few more are sorted out, I'll post a list along with the pertinent links.

For you Bostonians; Tasha and I were shopping this past weekend in Harvard Sq.and found a new store for rivet.goth.glam gear. It's up in 'the Garage' near Newbury Comics on the ramp. It stocks lots of LipService and AlstonBeat style gear. No Latex, Rubber, or serious corsets, but cool enough. I don't remember the name of the place, but you should check it out. It's been open a month or two.

/// SETEMBER 11, 2001 ///

Today has been one of the worst days in my lifetime. I would like to use this to vehicle to express myself.

We are deeply concerned for our friends in Manhattan, NYC and our friends in the military. Our thoughts and sympathy also go out to all of the families from the Boston area that lost loved ones.

I am so angry, I feel as though I need to do something! But the truth is, we should not use the phones unless it is an emergency and we should not panic because that does not help anyone.

The only positive thing I can think to do is to donate blood.

NYC has a CRITICAL SHORTAGE OF BLOOD right now! If you have never donated blood before, drink a lot of water and eat a large lunch. It is that easy, you don't need an appointment!

It may not be over... we are in the midst of an undeclared war. If it is over, the American Red Cross will need new donations to replenish their supply.

You can do something!

Thanks for listening,
Tasha, MMTM

8.28.1…

Just added a LIVE REVIEW from Philament Magazine to press page!!!

8.26.1...

Tasha and I have been in a creative mode lately. We already have many new tracks in pre-production...

Tour plans are progressing...

I dug up two remixes of DIGITAL HERESY, one remix of FORSAKE ALL ELSE, and extended remix of CURIOSITY. These new versions of tracks from ROBOT and TECHNOPHILE [as well as updated cover design] will be added [space providing] to a re-issue of ROBOT that should be released in the next several months.

The new issue of OUTBURN [#16] ships tomorrow, so it should be in the stores this week. There should be some MMTM coverage in this issue!! Vampyre is out and that has a pretty cool MMTM ad.

8.19.01…Here comes mmtm.net v2.0. Hope you like it!!! It will be updated more frequently now. The new design is much more easily maintained.

***ELECTROLUST and ROBOT available for purchase on AMAZON and CDnow ***

There is so much going on, I’m not sure where to begin…

First, the tour rocked!!! All of the promoters, venues, and staff were great. It was great to find so many new freaks, as well as finally meet some that have been with us since we were still on the launch pad. The Canada/Midwest US tour is already in the works for Oct/Nov. so check back for the dates.

OUTBURN #15 gave ROBOT a ‘4 out of 5’ review!!! Not too shabby, even if I do say so myself. It is available at book/record store now. Lookout for reviews and ads in the OUTBURN #16, VAMPYRE, A.P. and an MMTM INTERVIEW in the next SIDE-LINE.

6.28.01....The first show of the 2001 Summer Tour is TWO WEEKS away!!! We are all so amped up we can't sit still. Which is good because there is still so much to do.

We have the promo for the tour dates up! There are links to the venues so you can find the relevant info.

We have also started posting ELECTROLUST CD RELEASE LISTENING PARTIES. There will be many more coming so check back.

Unfortunately there are several mp3's that mp3.com won't post, so remember that all of our material is available here.

Look out for MMTM reviews/interviews/ADS in OUTBURN, SIDE-LINE, A.P., SKIN TWO, and countless ezines and sites. There has been a huge interest in ELECTROLUST, so there should be ink everywhere!

6/16/01....Hey, we have finally completed our new LP, ELECTROLUST!!! Complete mp3’s are now posted here and should be available any day now on mp3.com. ELECTROLUST is off to duplication now and will be released on July 15, 2001.

MMTM will be hitting the road to promote the release. The MMTM 2001 Summer Tour Dates are posted here at MMTM.net. More dates in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. will follow in the Fall.

We have already began a schedule of listening/release parties for ELECTROLUST in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. That schedule will be posted here asap. Check back for dates in your area.
