Mamaleek Pre-Orders Are Up

Enemies List has launched pre-orders for Mamaleek's Kurdaitcha on LP which will be limited to just 150 copies on heavy duty vinyl (?) with Foil Stamped covers. This should be awesome.

Go pick this record up here

Oh yeah go to Mamaleek's artist page here, where you can download the whole record on a pay what you want basis.

Unbroken Discography

Unbroken is one of those bands that I love, particularly the second Full length (Life.Love.Regret) and their last two singles (And / Fall, also referred to as Fall On Proverb, and Circa '77, also referred to as Crushed On You).

Well, last year Indecision records pressed a 3xLP discography that looked sharp as hell with the three different color orientations of the vinyl and the Joy Division homage that is the artwork and packaging; alas, these sold out at the first reunion show in California before anyone what but those fans and flippers that made it to that show.

















Thankfully, Indecision has pressed this sucker for a second time for all of us who were not privy to that first reunion show nor the dollars required to purchase it in the aftermarket. Get it from Indecision here for just $30 plus shipping.


Here is what some of the 2nd Press packaging looks like:















Here is the cover:

Nadja & Troum Collaboration Makes It to Vinyl Release

YES! So, another new Nadja record coming out this year; this time they collaborate with Troum (whom I recently discovered this year) on a full length. I really enjoy this album and was hoping that it would eventually see a release of the vinyl persuasion, and now via the great Denovali Records, this is becoming a reality.








































Here we have a "dreamlike liaison". When the esteemed Canadian "avant metal / drone doom"-duo NADJA (for whom TROUM as one of their early influences) and the German post-industrial / experimental drone pioneers TROUM (years ago active as MAEROR TRI who are still being discovered by many drone-fans these days) combine their exceptional styles, they form something more vast than their parts. These three collaborative tracks are the result of aspontaneous improvisation in April 2008, "live in the studio" near the Weser-river in Bremen, Germany. The songs' powerful and emotional drone melancholy work in many micro-and-macrocosmic ways, using electric & acoustic guitars, bass, accordion, drum machine & voice. After the excellent collaboration record with PYRAMIDS another masterpiece from NADJA.

You can also download the record from Denovali here



Three versions of this are available for pre-order all 180 Gram vinyl and limited to this one time press of 500 copies:

100: on White (order here)
100: on White with Black Haze (pictured above) (order here)
300: Black (order here)

Has It Really Been So Long?

Thirteen years since the last album from Three Mile Pilot seems like a long time, and well, it is. The Planets / Grey Clouds 7" single from last year was quite the teaser. Hopefully, this was just a taste of how good the new album will be.

Temporary Residence starts pre-orders today. So, go grab one while you can.

In the meantime, enjoy this:

Those Who Fear Tomorrow

Those Who Fear Tomorrow is one of my favorite Integrity albums; when the album was re-issued on CD, I reviewed it for Scene Point Blank (check out the review here if you are so inclined) and stand by what I said then, "A milestone in hardcore music and a must have record, Those Who Fear Tomorrow stands as one of the greatest hardcore albums ever."

If you like hardcore, metal, and whatever heavy music genre that kids listen to these days, this album is cornerstone for it all. This is your chance to own this on vinyl without paying exorbitant ebay prices for it.

Pre-order it at Organized Crime Records .

Three variations

200 on solid pink

320 on clear with black swirls (and Stephen Kasner bonus album cover)

680 on solid red and said Stephen Kasner album cover

These are sure to go quick. So, don't wait.

Magic Bullet Goes Crazy with new releases

Magic Bullet has gone way out this time with new records from Integrity, Christie Front Drive, a Forensics Re-Issue and Meditative Sect's Laceration Points.

These all look great. Ordering and Pre-ordering can be done here.

Integrity VVe Are The End 7" Pre-orders are up

Just thought I would drop a note showing the new Integrity 7" coming out on Magic Bullet is up for pre-order here. There is a t-shirt package available as well that comes with the 7" on Grey (limited to 100 copies). Otherwise the 7" is on black and one-sided with the iconic Integrity skull laser etched on the back.

Isis / Melvins Splits

Well, I would tell you to check out the Isis / Melvins split pre-order, but it seems as though they are all sold out. Well, unfortunately, people are going to pay aftermarket prices for this sucker now (unless there is a 2nd press).

Masakari- The Prophet Feeds

A little late on this, but you can still order this record.

"The Prophet Feeds”is the debut album from Midwest bashers Masakari. This band is amazing and this first full-legnth of theirs is relentless, unhinged, chaotic crust! Somewhat in the vein of His Hero is Gone, Tragedy and From Ashes Rise, but with a very distinct and brutal edge, Masakari fuses their apocalyptic crust with the raging power of Discharge/Disfear D-beat and the hard-edged Japanese punk stylings of G.I.S.M., with a smattering of blast-beat driven grindcore to drive it all home. The “Prophet Feeds” was engineered by Bill Korecky (Incantation, Keelhaul, Integrity) and recorded at Mars Studio in Cleveland. The LP comes in a gatefold-cover on heavy 180g Vinyl. 300 records on red / 1200 records on black vinyl."

Order from Halo Of Flies

Angel Eyes "Midwestern" Is Up for Pre-Order

I haphazardly stumbled upon Angel Eyes when I picked up their second or third release ...And For A Roof A Sky Full Of Stars for review (see that here). I picked up their other recording that I could find, Something To Do With Death, not long afterward due to my hard to beat obsession with find every recorded bit by a band once I decide that I like them.

Now, I had not head much from this outfit recently, until I saw the preorder info for their new album, Midwestern. I am definitely excited to hear where this record leads the band following their first few records. Check it out...it reminds me of what a post rock type band would sound like if they really loved Ennio Morricone; and for added measure, the fact that they are named after a character from the Man with no name trilogy (and a Lee van Cleef character at that ) should be reason enough.

Pressing info and ordering info below:

Angel Eyes - Midwestern LP on Blue (out of 100)

Angel Eyes - Midwestern LP on Gold (out of 300)

Now Mylene Sheath has several different package deals as well as this on CD and such here

Final Isis releases taking shape

So, the Isis & Melvins Split is looking as though it is upon us...July 14th to be exact(ish). The short version of this release's description is one completely new song from Isis and one from the import version of Wavering Radiant and two "remixes" or alternate versions of songs from the newest Melvins album, The Bride Screamed Murder.

Hopefully Isis and the Melvins will have this on their upcoming tour.

GREYMACHINE Disconnected 2xLP

Here is some new information for the LP version of the GREYMACHINE album via the Feral Pig blog:

white and silver inks silkscreened on black uncoated heavyweight paper jackets and inserts, with the interior jacket also printed and hand stamped LP labels. some copies will also come with an 11" x 17" promotional poster and a CD version of the audio.

This looks great and I cannot wait to see it in person. Here's to hoping they still have them available on the upcoming Isis tour.

Grails Black Tar Prophecies

This is great. Important Records is releasing the latest installment of The Black Tar Prophecies from Grails as well as a vinyl issue of the previous three volumes.

The Black Tar Prophesies Vol. 4 is available here for ordering.

It comes in editions of 500 picture LPs, 200 on "Coke Bottle", and (I am assuming) the rest on black.

The LP version of The Black Tar Prophesies Vol 1, 2, & 3 is available here for ordering. The pressing info for this slab is 200 copies on yellow and the rest on black.

Enjoy.

Quicksand Slip Repress on vinyl?

It seems so, with the full remaster treatment and all. This could shape up to be a great release. As I found out more I will post it here. This is one of my favorite records... I can't wait to hear this.

Coliseum House With A Curse Pre-Order

OK, so I feel like a moron for not posting the pre-order for this sooner, but here it is...the new Coliseum available for pre-order at Temporary Residence. Again this is twelve new tracks, but with some new twists as this does not sound like your mother's Coliseum that you have grown to love. These are shipping sometime in June.

The first 300 orders receive splatter colored vinyl...but that time might already be passed.

The Gloria Record album Start Here...

...Finally is getting a vinyl release. I remember when this record came out quite a while ago. Following up the band's EPs, Start Here was their lone album (a shame really as they were quite good). The first two songs off of this album are tremendous and I never get tired of hearing them, and the whole album is solid.

Broken Circles Records is releasing this with updated artwork and the pressing breakdown is as follows:

100 on Black

200 on White

300 on Maroon Marble

400 on Yellow with Orange Marble

Pre-order this here.

Kom Berry White Pre-Order

This release is sure to put vinyl addicts in somewhat of a quandry (just as it did me). Berry White is an impressive example of what an artistic minded label/artist release can be. Seriously, this new release from Kom and their label Denovali is so clean and sharp looking that it made me double take; it looks that good.

If you want to hear what the band sounds like, head over to Denovali and listen to the three songs from Berry White as well as check out the songs from the band's previous release Ink (which you can download from the label for free from here).

The release information for Berry White is as follows:

The extremely limited Book LP version limited to 100 on 180 Gram Clear Vinyl (order here).

The equally Limited Gatefold LP Version limited to 100 copies on 180 Gram Ice Blue Vinyl (order here).

The less limited Gatefold LP version limited to 300 copies on 180 Gram Clear Vinyl (order here).

Like I said, this is a real sharp looking release that compliments the music perfectly...

Jodis Secret House

OK, this album has been available on CD for a bit, and I really liked the record then (see my review at Scene Point Blank); and Secret House has only continued to grow on me.

Well, Hydra Head has finally released this on LP...double LP actually(including a vinyl only track although the track is also on the Japanese release as well), and I have to say that it is an impressive release. Get it here before it is gone because it does not have a high print run.

Hydra Head is saying that a second effort from Jodis is due later this year, which is excellent news.

(picture nabbed from Hydra Head blog)

Frontier(s) The Plains Pre Order

When Elliott died, I definitely felt like I lost something because I still think their album False Cathedrals is amazing and one of my favorites all time.

Well, Chris Higdon (vocalist and guitarist of Elliot, and Falling Forward) is back with Frontier(s), which sounds more akin to US Songs era Elliott than anything else.

The Plains is the first seven inch from this band (which also has members of the Enkindels and Mouthpiece and more) and is a precursor to their upcoming LP. When you pre-order this from No Sleep here, you get the digital download immediately.

Trap Them Filth Rations

I have to admit that my interest in Trap Them has been completely cursory. They are a great band and bust out some excellent records, but I have to be in the mood to listen to them.

Well, in any case, their latest EP Filth Rations, is now up for order at Southern Lord here. The artwork (courtesy of Justin Bartlett) on this bad boy is awesome. The vinyl is also etched, which always makes for an interesting addition to a release. It is shipping now, so you shouldn't have to wait long for the record if you order it.
