In Case You Missed It

Pre-orders for Sutekh Hexen's Larvae went live late-ish Saturday night. Unfortunately, if you did miss it up to now, then you missed out on the Clear with Pink Splatter vinyl that was limited to 100 copies; however, you still have a chance to grab a black copy (limited to 200) over at Handmade Birds (here), who also has a CD version available as well for the non vinyl collecting types (get that here).

This is definitely going to be a "you wish you had this" type release.

Some additional technical information:

Poisoned Soil...

...is finally available on vinyl. The first House Of Low Culture album in quite a while looks tremendous

Two colors available Lead (out of 100) and Black (of 400). Do not wait around for the record either, Taiga records are always amazing pieces for your collection, and the limited versions always sell out.



catalog number: TAIGA 17
artist: House of Low Culture
title: Poisoned Soil
format: LP+12”
track list:
side A: Spoiled Fruits of the Kingdom
B: The Ladder That Leads to Nowhere
C: Inappropriate Body pt1
D: Inappropriate Body pt2
total running time: 53:15

House of Low Culture is the long-running solo project of

Aaron Turner (Isis, Mamiffer, Lotus Eaters, etc.) and Poisoned

Soil is the first proper album to be released in nearly a
decade.
HOLC’s first release, Submarine Immersion Techniques Vol.
1, would set the tone for all that would follow. Recorded from
1997-1999, released in 2000, the album explored lonely,
lysergic drone territories and the construction of textural
weavings. Over the course of the next several years, Turner
broadened HOLC’s sonic palette considerably—incorporating
voices, keyboard textures, and other non-guitar
instrumentation—while engaging in collaborative efforts with
the likes of Merzbow/Masami Akita, James Plotkin, Z’ev,
Stephen O'Malley and others.
As of late, Faith Coloccia, Turner’s wife (and bandmate in
Mamiffer), has become a regular contributor. Her presence
can be heard and felt on HOLC’s new full-length recording,
Poisoned Soil, as can that of percussionist B.R.A.D (Asva,
Master Musicians of Bukkake, Burning Witch, etc).  The three
lengthy compositions within conjure a wide variety of spatial
effects and spectral imagery when experienced under
headphones: distant rumblings, ominous premonitions and
strange equilibrium disturbances, all underscored by the hiss
of naked electrical current.
Mastered by James Plotkin, cut by John Golden and pressed
on 200g virgin vinyl, Poisoned Soil is presented as a grand
LP+12” set with spot colors, printed innersleeves and
flooded pockets in an edition of 500.

Pyramids Self-Titled Finally...

...lands on vinyl finally today via Hydra Head. This record was quite a kick in the pants when it came out, and the CD layout was always begging for a vinyl release. In fact in my review for the record when it came out (check that out here) I stated:

The artwork suits the record perfectly and the packaging is very reminiscent of a gatefold double LP package, which gives the whole release a nice touch.

This will more than likely look amazing, and if the recent speedy sell out of the Pyramids & Horseback collaboration LP+7" is any indication, this could very well be gone just as fast.

Supposedly this will be for sale at 3PM EST and noon PST today. Get your trigger finger out.

Quick Update On The Latest Strange Rules Batch

As stated yesterday, Strange Rules tapes go fast, and the Natural Assembly tape, Fusion's Origin, was the first to sell out rather quickly yesterday. Did you get one?

Don't sleep on the others, they will not last long.
