I appreciate all the support received since February. Unfortunately, I have to post this update thanks to the situation which is now entirely beyond control.
Due to the current outbreak of COVID-19, outbound flights are constantly cancelled in China. I am therefore unable to return to the UK to resume the service as planned in June.
All I can tell for the time being is that the distro remains closed until further notice.
I am aware that some emails are not yet replied. Please rest assured this will be dealt with as soon as I am able to work out how your music needs can be met at a later date. During this difficult time, please only reach me if: 1) you cannot find your wanted records/CDs elsewhere; 2) the ones you can find are way overpriced; 3) you are not in a hurry at all and are stone-like patient.
Those who do need recent/future GoatowaRex records from UtDS, please email me. I can prepare reservation but be reminded that it will take longer than ever before to dispatch orders.
While the world seems to be in the time of apocalypse, I am delighted to announce that UtDS shall shortly be releasing the long-awaited new album of the English folkloric black metal masters OLD CORPSE ROAD, entitled "On Ghastly Shores Lays the Wreckage of our Lore", on limited edition cassette tape. The final release date has yet been confirmed owing to the delays caused by obvious reasons. However, pre-orders can now be accepted through the band, and I will be taking orders as soon as my work resumes.
Thank you for the continued patience. Stay safe.
Yours truly,
Yang
