LECTURE / SIGNING:
RICHARD M. DOLAN
UFO’S AND THE NATIONAL SECURITY STATE

In 2000, Richard published UFOS AND THE NATIONAL SECURITY STATE: AN UNCLASSIFIED HISTORY, 1941-1973 (republished in 2002 with the subtitle CHRONOLOGY OF A COVER-UP, 1941-1973). This 500-page history provides clear detail on the major UFO cases of the early Cold War era, the attitudes and policies toward UFOs by the military and intelligence community, and the fascinating development of the citizen movements to end UFO secrecy.

In 2009, Richard completed Volume Two of his historical study, subtitled THE COVER-UP EXPOSED, 1973-1991. In this 638-page follow up volume, he provides not only incredible detail and clarity to the key UFO events of that era – he also provides a sophisticated analysis of the politics concerning UFOs – in other words, the cover-up. In addition, he provides a first-ever true history of UFO research itself: a genuine history of ufology. With over 1,000 citations and 1,400 index entries, this second volume is a landmark achievement in the field of UFO research, written in a clear and engaging style designed for newcomers and experienced researchers alike.

Richard has done a great deal of television work, having appeared on many documentaries and shows for the History Channel, Sci Fi Channel, CNN, BBC, and elsewhere. In 2006 he was host to a six-episode series for the Sci Fi Channel called SCIFI INVESTIGATES.

Kult ov Azazel

It’s our misfortune to announce that after 10 years with Kult ov Azazel, Xul has taken an indefinite hiatus from the band and therefore will not be doing any touring or recording during 2010. We respect his decision but we must continue to forge on. From this point forward all vocal duties will be taken over by Xaphan and session guitarist Armanen (Tenebrous) has been added as a permanent member of the band. Former/session member VJS is back as touring bassist. However, due to prior commitments VJS will not be able to do the March Metal Massacre V Fest in Allentown, PA on March 27th so Gio Geraca (Evil Amidst/Malevolent Creation) will be handling bass duties.

Touring begins with the Nihilistic Terror Across Texas campaign in March. We’ll be storming the West Texas Death Fest II in Amarillo, TX on Friday March 12th. The other two days will be spent with Teratism, Witchaven and Hatchet destroying San Antonio, TX on the 13th and Houston, TX on the 14th with 2 deadly nights of devastating black/thrash metal. In July we will headline the main stage of the 20th anniversary of the Michigan Deathfest on the 17th then embark on a 16 day tour with Wolven Ancestry. More 2010 dates are forthcoming and will be posted as confirmed.

Preparation for the yet untitled DVD release is underway. We have combined the sound board audio with a 3 camera mix of our show as direct support for Deicide filmed September 2004. We should have video from the Puerto Rico show very soon. Once in our hands we’ll begin editing the video footage while we wait for the sound board recordings to arrive. The DVD will be released later in the year through Arctic Music and will also include a CD of covers and unreleased material ranging from 1999 to the present.

We are also pleased to announce we have joined forces with Frank Watkins (Gorgoroth/Back From The Dead Productions) as direct management for the band and that the Venom cover is mixed and has been sent to Noise Farm Studio in Texas for mastering. Once mastered it is just a matter of the label setting a release date. “In League With Satan” will be a tribute to Venom limited to 666 copies. This is a split effort with Teratism to be released through Negativity Records.

January 29, 2010 - Hammer will be unavailable for the dates booked in March due to the recently announced Testament tour dates. Instead he’ll be out on the road working for those guys so Tony Laureano (ex-Dimmu Borgir/Angel Corpse/Nile) will be sitting in on drums for the Nihilistic Terror Across Texas tour dates and Gus Rios (Malevolent Creation) for the March Metal Massacre 5 Festival. Gio Geraca (Evil Amidst, Malevolent Creation) will also be filling in on bass for this festival taking place in Reading, PA on March 27th.

We begin to fill the goblet of the new year—so many wonders to show you from our shadowed realm!

Warlock Corvis Nocturnum guest expert on A&E January 5th!

PARANORMAL STATE 4
Episode 4.7: “Satan's Soldier”
Tuesday, Jan. 5th, 10:30pm EST/9pm C
SPECIAL TWO-EPISODES BACK-TO-BACK

WHAT A&E SAYS:
Mark and Kim cannot sleep through all the racket caused by unseen forces in their central Indiana home. When PRS discovers what appears to be blood in the basement, they investigate a history of violence in the home. But things aren’t what they seem as they dig deeper into the client’s personal history. Psychic/Medium Michelle Belanger helps Ryan piece together the puzzle.

WHAT PRS SAYS:
We had an amazing time trying to track down the negative history that surrounds Fort Wayne. Along the way, we learned that the city has had some of the most gruesome cases of legitimate devil worship and practice within the area. Local author and Satanism expert Corvis Nocturnum is consulted.

Warlock Corvis Nocturnum
Author of: Embracing the Darkness; Understanding Dark Subcultures, and most recently, Allure Of The Vampire; Our Sexual Attraction To The Undead.
