Hey kiddos,

Been a little bit, but I wanted to let you in on a couple things going on. 

Firstly, if you missed it, I played another Witchy Ways Market a couple weeks ago and it was a really great performance! 

A copy of the audio from the improvised performance is now up and available for Subscribers to download. Speaking of which…

Secondly, I’m restructuring/rethinking how I do my site subscriptions. All the different tiers are just going to be collapsed and simplified into one, single, cohesive, pay what you want tier for everything: ENCRYPTED+. I liked having all the cute different tier names, but the functionality to post something in one tier and have it auto-populate to all the other tiers isn’t there for some reason and posting everything 7 times feels like wasted energy. Additionally, I will no longer be pushing for the goal of putting up a new piece of audio EVERY week, because it simply isn’t feasible between my 9-5, my work as a visual artist/vendor, and what’s about to be occupying my time…

Lastly, I will be going into the studio starting this month to finish recording all the tracks on my new album, FUTURE MAGICKS: VOLUME 1, HYDRA’S RUIN. 

I’m ridiculously excited to have some intensely talented folks helping get everything sounding as excellent as possible. Kellii Scott of FAILURE has recorded some incredible live drum tracks for five of the songs, and they absolutely fucking rock! And Travis Bacon of CONTRACULT COLLECTIVE will be producing, engineering, and helping put the final polish on the record. I am hoping to get the record out by the end of the year, but I’m also willing to tap the breaks any TLC is needed. Regardless, I’m absolutely psyched about what’s coming. The future is magick.

Thank you for being here.

XOXO

Hey kiddos!

Just wanted to let you know that we got some video of The Mint performance and has been edited into something bigger than just a performance video, which is this:

Temple is a several-day-long streaming event comprised of goth/industrial musicians of all calibers. The event happens every year and is a fundraiser for a new cause/charity every year--this year we will be raising money for cancer research. RUST_VISION will be livestreaming a 30 minute video comprised of footage from our show, as well as footage from rehearsal and in-studio. Said footage has also had its audio sweetened up a little so that it doesn't just sound like audio from a phone. Looking forward to sharing that with everyone. Additionally, an extra song will be tacked on to the performance video, a version which will only be available to Subscribers.

Additionally, The Mint seemed to like us! However, we are sadly unable to get the people we need to put a band together in time for another Mint show. Hopefully, another opportunity will open up in the future, but as of right now, we are putting shows on hold until other parts of our lives level out :)

XOXOXO

Hey kiddos,

Happy June, Pride, & Wrath! Just wanted to reach out and give you a couple updates. There’s a lot going on, so I’m gonna try to keep this quick:

OUR FIRST SHOW AS A FULL BAND IS FAST APPROACHING! 

Thursday night, 6/26, at The Mint LA! Tickets are available now! and they're at least a few bucks cheaper online than at the door, so get yours now :)

We’ve been practicing our little butts off and things are sounding really badass! Check out this clip I recorded of us playing through a new song(!!!) called “Propain,” and come sing along on the 26th!

I made it glitchy and purple to keep with the aesthetic, but lmk if you want more bts stuff without the glitchiness. I know it makes some people in my family a little woozy to watch for too long, so let me know if toning that down is something you might appreciate.

New apparel is here! I designed these with some of the in-contention conceptual artwork for the upcoming album. 

They also share names with some of the new songs the band will be playing. Check out the artwork for each one, then let me know if you think they're a good match for the songs once you hear them live! 🙃

We are looking to book out MORE live performances! If you know of a venue or show that might be a good fit for us, HMU! 

I think that’s it for now. We do have another Thing we're excited to tell you about, but for now we want the focus to be on The Mint show. Have a great Pride/Wrath, and we hope to see you at our show!

Love,
Rust
