now our crimes are legion...

as of yesterday, a third volume of "anonymous documents" now exists...


the completely unlegendary bad taste journal/filth manifesto known as "anonymous documents" once again rears its big, ugly, clotheshanger scarred face to produce this newest volume of DIY/trash culture, now with less information!this one is less text/more art, featuring 3 different contributors(all remaining anonymous, mostly) with completely unique styles of non traditional/outsider art...while they may vary aesthetically, they also fit together quite nicely into a sharp edged and very harmful weapon, known as: "ANONYMOUS DOCUMENTS III/3: COMMUNITY." use it to stab people....no computers, programs or software of any kind were used in the making of this product...


(if yr interested, they are $3 each and i'll have them for sale at all future shows until they're gone, or message me on here and we'll make arrangements...good trades also accepted...)

preface:

MANNEQUIN HOLLOWCAUST is a one man outlaw noise operation, (est. 2001, Kingsport, TN)...

i first started recording as Mannequin Hollowcaus in 2001, although i didn't release any material or start playing live much until 2004...my first release as MH was "world famous self destruction machine"in 2004(currently out of print)...since then i have released 2 more full lengths on cd ("decomposition book", original release: 2005, re-release: 2009 & "last will and testament", 2007) several split releases ("killbot vs. mannequin hollowcaust", 2006; a tour split, limited to 30 copies in 2008: "mannequin hollowcaust/killbot, tour split"; and "mannequin hollowcaust/rom b", 2009)...recently i released a cassette only full length, "wasp factory/story of the eye"(2009) and i'm almost done with a new, as yet untitled, full length that i should have out on cd before the end of 2009. a few other notable mentions/appearances: tracks featured on all volumes of chaotic underworld noise (1-4, 2004-2009) and chaotic underworld sampler disc (2006/2007); "eye violence(live)" on infolepsy zine issue 1-cd compilation (2008); "to have and to hold"(depeche mode cover, demo version) on infolepsy zine issue 2-cd compilation (2008); featured on Bryan Lewis Saunders aka Mr. Brain Sander remix cd, "busting open" (2008) track: "Bobby Chatman"; "shrapnel bath"on Dictaphonia, microcassette compilation (2009);...

a few other projects i am, or have been in: AORTA JOURNAL, LEGIONS OF DESTRO ISCARIOT, SOUNDS OF THE ROTTEN SOUTH(rumored affiliate), DIRT WORSHIP(w/KILLBOT), BOVINE HUSTLER(w/ROM B), COMPULSION ANALYSIS(w/Marcus Carcass), CEREMENTS(w/Brother Fyodor), PILGRIMM(ex), BROCEPHUS, PALACE OF SLUMBER...

other collaborators, both live and recorded, include: Ass Maggot, Molly Ringworm, Kylie Virus, Bryan Saunders/Mr. Brain Sander, Kaontrol Kontraos/The Growth, Yeti Master & more to come...

i am also involved with a couple of independent/diy labels, most notably Chaotic Underworld Recordings, a predominantly noise & experimental label which i co-founded (and still help operate) with my friend D. Gingrow in 2004. we have released over 40 cds since then from a varying range of projects and artists including the bulk of my MH material. in 2009 i started a cassette only label called Head Destroyer Tapes on which i intend to release mainly harsh noise, power electronics and other lo-fi recordings, as i see fit...i have released one MH tape so far, with a Bovine Hustler tape almost ready to go...

a few zines i have been a part of...Infolepsy: a collective effort with some friends documenting our local diy art and music scene as well as fiction, comics and activities for the weirdo set... short-lived but well worthwhile, we produced 2 quality issues in 2008 before moving onto other things...Anonymous Documents: a black and white, art damaged manifesto, of sorts...produced on a sporadic basis and focusing on everything from radical environmentalism to true crime and cult activities...all contributors remain anonymous or appear under pseudonyms...2 issues produced so far with more to come(2008, 2009)...Body Dead/Brain Still Functions: a short coloring/comic book about zombie cyborgs and the like, 1 issue so far(2008)...

besides all this other introductory crap, i do alot of artwork and writing on a regular basis for purely therapeutic purposes, and of course i make noise/sound as much as i possibly can. i like playing live shows and i try to travel as much as possible/feasible, playing mainly in basements, living rooms and other non-traditional venues...

blah, blah, blah...
