ÜNDÜSTRÏÄL SLÖP can be contacted. This does not mean they will respond. The band distinguishes between being contactable and being responsive. Both are choices. Only the first is guaranteed here.

BOOKING

Booking inquiries go to SLAG. SLAG handles logistics. SLAG has a master's degree in mechanical engineering and approaches booking with the same systematic precision he applies to bass frequencies. Venues must provide documentation confirming the PA system's sub-bass capabilities before SLAG will engage. The Monument requires a reinforced stage section. This is non-negotiable.

Email: booking@industrialslop.com

Response time: 3–21 business days. SLAG is thorough.

PRESS & INTERVIEWS

Press requests go to VORX, who will read them and may respond. VORX has a list of questions he will not answer. The list has never been published. You will discover which questions are on it during the interview. VORX considers this "the natural architecture of conversation."

Note: VORX is available for interviews in person or by phone. He is not available for video calls. He has described video calls as "the wrong compression." He will not elaborate.

Email: press@industrialslop.com

Do not ask about The Tokyo Recording. It will not be released.

MERCH ORDERS & FULFILLMENT

SLAG handles fulfillment. See the merch page for shipping timelines. If you have not received your order in three weeks, email this address. SLAG is aware of your order. SLAG is processing orders in the order they were received, which is the only order that makes sense to SLAG.

Email: orders@industrialslop.com

GENERAL INQUIRIES

General inquiries go to the general address. If your inquiry is general, it will receive a general response. If your inquiry is specific, it will be forwarded to the appropriate band member. If your inquiry is about The Architect, it will not be forwarded anywhere. If your inquiry is about the Tokyo recording, please see the booking section (third paragraph, last sentence) and the press section (last sentence). The pattern should be evident.

FOR ÄSH

ÄSH can be reached directly if you would like to request pages 2–47 of On The Inadequacy of Sound (1993). This is the only reason to contact ÄSH directly. ÄSH's manifesto pages have never been requested. ÄSH checks this email on the possibility that someone will one day request them. No one has. ÄSH considers this "still possible."

Email: manifesto@industrialslop.com

FOR MAUX

MAUX does not have a contact email. Communication with MAUX occurs in person, preferably while MAUX is playing. If you have communicated with MAUX in this way, you will know it. If you are not sure whether you have communicated with MAUX, you have not.
