From Our New Pastures We are now finally installed at our new location. The process was a long, complicated, and painful; it was, without a doubt, the worst task in recent memory. Even I, who am always bursting with energy, was wiped when was over. Towards the end we had two 53-hour days back to back of unrelenting labour, loading several tonnes of stock, equipment, and possessions, and driving them hundreds of miles, back and forth, as day became night, then day again, then night again, then day, without sleep, surviving on occasional sandwiches, gallons of energy drinks, paracetamol, hayfever tablets, and, towards the end, due to the need not to end up as paté on the motoway, caffeine tablets. In the end, we survived: we did not fall asleep at the wheel to be awaken by gravity shifts as our truck climbed the rock walls delimiting the hard shoulder and spun in the air before landing upside down on a lorry carrying bottles of muriatic acid that then exploded, spraying other mororists' faces and littering the tarmac with shards of glass that then punctured tyres and sent dozens of vehicles swerving at crazy angles, at high speed, and colliding against cement barriers, road signs, tow-trucks, sheep, and hamburger stands, while a falling lamp post crushed our ribs and the exposed cables electrocuted our flesh, carbonising it before its being puréed by twisted metal as the lorry itself swerved out of control, drove off a bridge, and smashed into the dried rived bed bellow, where it exploded, incinerating the surounding flora and fauna and leaving nothing but charred iron and steel, contorted into skeletal shapes against grey, ozone-depleted skies. A new chapter now begins, which is to include a thorough reorganising, a brand new online shop, and more, which will be reflected in a much better experience for genuine enthusiasts of extreme music. Presently in a more appropriate configuration and with more avenues available to us, we will work hard to deserve the support of music enthusiasts. Known problems areas are being addressed, and ways have been found to restore some of the services that the torrent- and economy-induced upheavals of recent years caused us to suspend. More news on developments will be posted on this website soon. Of course, how much will be able to do is, as it has always been, in direct relation to the support of music enthusiasts. Consistent support from the latter means we can do better and more. More would even include releasing albums again. That was always one of the most gratifying parts of our activity. Releasing albums again, however, would necessitate conditions that were destroyed by the torrent demon, and by the slaves of the Demiurge who answered its call. Time will tell whether the warrior-poets, heirs of the Hyperborean legacy, will win the cosmic war, and found a new Golden Age . . . While the cosmic war rages on, we will focus on our mail order service, on the battle for the ultimate record collection, the way we did eleven years ago, during a previous reorganisation—we will strive to make it an efficient, reliable, and enjoyable resource. On a final note, the dispatching of orders was suspended, website updates halted, and newsletters stopped while we moved and got organised at our new location. We are now resuming service in these areas and as of last week already dispatched some of the orders received just prior or during the relocation period. Likewise, pre-orders for the Fidei Defensor CD, the promised stock of which arrived just as the move-related upheaval began, will be processed now and will start making their way to customers in the coming days. Meanwhile, if you have questions about an order or anything else, please email us at mail@supernalmusic.com. We will be happy to assist you.
