Xaphan? Do You Like Disembodied?

How about Threadbare (though I am guessing most of you have not even heard Threadbare)?



Xaphan is basically Disembodied with the singer of Threadbare (and Blinding Light) singing for them.


Listen to two songs below:

New Locrian 7"...

...is available for pre-order now. Get it here


This and the soundbites from the label Flingco Sound

Locrian took up the challenge of releasing their first 7 inch single on FSS, recording at Minbal in Chicago and mixing with Jeremy Lemos in April 2011. They hammer the sing-song of Popol Vuh's Der Ist Der Weg into a blackened alloy of their own invention on the A-side. On the flip, trebly blurs open Frozen in Ash, which then feints at expansive melody amidst screams, keyboard squalls and bludgeoning drums.

Available as a 7 inch single in a limited edition of 500, in letter-pressed sleeves by Dexterity Press and as a digital single.

These recordings were mastered and the single was cut to lacquer by Jason Ward at Chicago Mastering Service.

Track Listing
A) Dort Ist Der Weg
B) Frozen In Ash

Locrian's take on Popol Vuh's classic Dort Ist Der Weg is an outstanding testament to a band possessed. Instead of producing some rehashed, dormant clone copy of this almost inimitable track,
Locrian serve up a ritually hypnotic and powerful piece of music that will floor you... Locrian will never belong. Their refusal to stagnate and regurgitate frail musical formula allows the band to constantly reinvent and re-envisage their art.
Lurker's Path July 20, 2011

To me, this is Locrian at their finest. They've taken a song that would not seem to lend itself to interpretation by a by a drone/noise/metal band
and turned it into something ritualistic, fierce, vivid and distinctly their own. Quite stunning.
Hammer Smashed Sound July 19, 2011

Locrian keep outdoing themselves.
Anti-Gravity Bunny

Locrian does not limited their sonic palette to fit into any particular genre or specific sound, and the result is that this music often penetrates much deeper...

REMNANTS SUSPENSION on Tycho Magnetic Anomalies

Handmade Birds continues to impress with their latest offering that is now available for Pre-Order from the label. Eleven Fingers is the latest from Circle Of Ouroborus.

In a complete reinvention of what is comfortable, CoO produce a landmark album within their already prolific catalogue that ranges from moments of post-punk atonality, to subtle melody countered by calculated agression. ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL.

House Of Low Culture & Mamiffer Craziness

These are images of the second Tour Tape from Mamiffer and House Of Low Culture, and, just as with the previous tour tape, we (the lucky 32 people that nabbed one of these on their recent tour or through the extremely fast web sale from Sige) get to hear two new songs (one from each outfit).

For the unlucky, at least the House Of Low Culture song will see the light of day on their upcoming album, Poisoned Soil, albeit in its finished form as this is listed as a demo.

The packaging is really awesome on this release and here are some pictures of it so you can get some idea of the care and effort put forth in making it a reality.

Imminent Frequencies...

...has two new tapes available as of today.

...two new Imminent jammers to ease you through the summer months



















First up is one by Slag Heap. Slag Heap is the main project of Chicago/ Madison local Connor Camburn. To date Camburn has put out a handful of tapes out on Chicago's Field Studies as well as his own label Hushing. Camburn forgoes the murky synth drones of his previous releases to present two sides of minimal synth pulsations.

Next we have Columbus Ohio's almighty Envenomist. One of several projects headed by David Reed (Luasa Raelon, Brittle Foundries), Envenomist has released many releases over the last few years on labels around the world. This new tape finds Reed delving into dark and sinister Lovecraftian paths of the unknown. Once this one sucks you in, it may never let you out...

----------------------------------


IF12 – Slag Heap “Mar”
c-30 Edition of 50



Minimal pulsating synthesizer music by Chicago native Connor Camburn. The repetitive tonal progressions heard here slowly evolve creating mathematical vortexes of the mind.
These simple rhythmic patterns are strangely reminiscent of the early electronic work of Alvin Lucier and David Tudor while forging new ground.

Each copy comes with a handmade art book by Connor Camburn.

Sample





















IF13 – Envenomist “Visions”
c-30 Edition of 100

Haunting analog electronics from Ohio’s David Reed. The last several years have seen Reed (Luasa Raelon) create some of the darkest and most sinister synth work out there.
Ominous synthscapes give way to s low burning electronic swells. Horrific and hallucinatory.You went in thinking it was just a nightmare, but now there’s no way out.

Burning Witch 4xLP Reissue...

...Is finally moving in production. Here from Stephen O'Malley's blog:

The BURNING WITCH 4LP boxed set is finally in production after various delays for various reasons. 4LPs will be contained in a black slipcase (heavy printed and side loading black box), with a 42 page 30cm square perfect bound book of artwork and photos, and a few texts.

Towers... & Rift.Canyon.Dreams LPs will have cloned covers (and identical track listing) from the original Slap-A-Ham & Merciless LPs, but printed as Stoughton tip-on style sleeves (and sans inserts).

Towers... LP is cut from the original 1/2" master tape that somehow was missing in all the years between its recording and post 2008 Crippled Lucifer release. Stuart Dahlquist at last managed to unearth said tape a few years ago and the resulting test pressing of this record sounds absolutely incredible. I dont know if I've been involved in a recording before or since which gives me the tactile, tangible satisfaction of said album.

Rift.Canyon.Dreams LP benefits greatly from a remastering for vinyl by Mell Dettmer (who mastered all 4 LPs in fact) and a great cut. Clarity is much improved to these 4 abstruse tracks.

The third vinyl in the set is a 12" with Bleeder & Rift.Canyon.Dreams (2008 mix version) tracks. Fourth LP is an amazing sounding recording of the 1996 live concert at Pioneer Theatre in Seattle (with Greg Anderson also on guitar) with an insert of photos from said concert. That was pre-Towers.. 3rd and 4th vinyls are housed in direct to board sleeves by Stoughton.

We are pleased to announce that Alan Dubin is involved in the project, he is authoring a DVD which contains the 2 known video recordings of the band live: 1996 Pioneer Square Theatre (from original super 8 videotape) and 1997 on Public Access channel 29 "29 Live" (from original super VHS). This DVD will be inserted into a pocket in the perfect bound book. Here is a photo of the capturing process...

All in all this is the complete (and final) retrospective of material from this long defunct group who survived a near miraculous afterlife and memory amongst the faithful. We neglected to include the demo or any rehearsal material as it's not worthy... you can find this all online anyway. We attempt to present it all in its original intention, and the supplementary pieces, in my opinion as art director of the Witch's releases over the past 16 years, follow that original aesthetic closely.

The boxed set will be manufactured in an edition of 1500 copies and available from Southern Lord Recordings this Autumn.

And so, after these long roads, the nails are in the coffin.

—Stephen O'Malley, Paris, July 2011

This is exciting sound.

Sutekh Hexen Daemons

I have never received a record from overseas so fast... Dead Section is on the ball.


Here is a sample of just what is to be heard on this 7"



There are not many left, but this sucker is well worth the cash. Order here

Quite Possibly This...

...Is one of the best things I have ever seen on the internet. Here is proof of the upcoming Locrian and Mamiffer collaborative record that was recorded recently at Electrical Audio in Chicago. Certainly, these images are also an interesting look into the recording process for the record as well.

Call me excited.

The Upcoming Slate From Magic Bullet

... Looks downright awesome. Of particular interest to myself is the 3rd Sutekh Hexen LP due out in the next several months (one on Wands, One on Handmade Birds, and now this one), the Vermapyre / Ides Of Gemini split LP, and the SSORC LP. The represses look pretty ridiculous too.

...things are about to get beyond ridiculous later this summer/early fall. The following update is for things that are actually in various stages of production. I’ve omitted the “coming soon” list and other projects in the pipeline because this is more than enough for everyone to process right now as-is. If you don’t see something on this list that may have been talked about in previous updates, no worries… it just means that it’s not in this next crop. Here’s what we’re actively working on right now and what you can expect next:

NEW RELEASES:
• VERMAPYRE | IDES OF GEMINI split 12″
• SSORC Infidel Eternal LP
• SUTEKH HEXEN Behind the Throne LP
• CHARLES MANSON Trees LP/CD/digital
• T0-be-named-project 12″ featuring Ryan Parrish of Darkest Hour, Graham Scala and Brent Eyestone of Highness and Meditative Sect, etc. Currently being mixed.
• VERMAPYRE DVD (co-release with We Tried Film, a new film division within Magic Bullet)
• CHARLES MANSON The Inner Sanctum 7″ reissue (licensed from Holy Terror)
• BOY SETS FIRE This Crying, This Screaming, My Voice is Being Born. LP (marking the 15th anniversary of Magic Bullet Records and Magic Bullet #1)

REPRESSES:
• BIG CHINA & LITTLE TROUBLE Lo-Panning LP
• MEDITATIVE SECT Laceration Points LP
• PG.99/MAJORITY RULE Document 12 LP

Should be a great rest of the year from Magic Bullet
