Even with that analog liberty in hand, the answer was always in the horror section. The influence of those blood-drenched, low-budget gems helped to form a bond between two horror-lovin’ buddies that began before double-digit years, eventually leading to the assembly of a most awesome analog-purveying crew now known as Trashmonger Video. Inspired to bring back a shelved SOV project by the expanding analog lovin’ culture on the world weird web, Trashmonger’s fresh VHS release for their homegrown anthology Scrapbook of...

He’s already riding high on the home video vibe with the release of his first two homegrown SOV flicks via some fresh VHS, and he’s also set the analog adoring crowd abuzz with excitement over his bitchin’ custom Benny figure from Kirk Alex’s essential Lunch Meat.

Out-of-Body Records main man Rob Buttrum just can’t stop. His undying affection for all things analog accompanied by his unstoppable drive to make as much radical stuff as humanly possible has impelled him to arrive at that all-too-familiar intersection of artistic creation we call Exhilarated and Engulfed. His tireless efforts to glorify magnetic tape have yielded a cache of awesomely independent cassette releases containing experimental aural sounds that are as engaging as they are obscure. And now with his newest creation, Buttrum has blended elements of aural and visual experimentation to produce the first fresh VHS releases for his Out-of-Body...
