Obsolete Units

I found out today that a Twitter account with “obsolete units” in the name and a handle nearly identical to my own Twitter (which I haven’t used in years) is posting vile transphobic content. I would hope that anyone that knows me would know that such an account has absolutely nothing to do with me or my label, but just to make things clear, I am absolutely disgusted by this person’s hateful behavior and abhor transphobia/TERF ideology. This seems to just be a really unfortunate coincidence rather than somebody trying to impersonate me, but let it be known, Obsolete Units and myself will always stand against transphobia, homophobia, racism, misogyny, and all other forms of bigotry.

The remaining copies of the limited Rust Worship/Nu Sire split CDR made for the Ruinous Resound event that took place this month are now available for purchase on both the Obsolete Units and Rust Worship Bandcamp pages (LINK IN BIO). Hand-stamped, numbered edition of 50 with a pro-printed glossy card insert. Two heavy burners of post-industrial noise.

Some semi-label related news, Rust Worship will be playing later this month in San Francisco for the Ruinous Resound fest, along with great friends Allegory Chapel Ltd, SOOT, Nu Sire, Andorkappen, and many more. This will be my first public performances since pre-pandemic times, as well as my first time playing live in the Bay Area since 2014. Incredibly excited for this opportunity.
