Scott “Wino” Heinrich, the founding father of doom metal, released his debut solo album on CD early this year. Typical for Southern Lord, the vinyl took a little while to catch up but equally as typical – it was well worth the wait. The vinyl edition comes with a bonus 10″ which features 4 exclusive [...]
The crowned princes of Nordic disco kosmische return with an album that picks up right where they left off with their self-titled debut from 2005. Of course the vinyl version will not be pressed on any sort of normal single or double LP format. Don’t be daft. This is four 12-inch records so all you [...]
Not really sure how this release managed to pass me by last month. My heavy-psychout radar needs a tune-up, I suppose. Black Math Horseman plays that 70′s hard-rock inspired riff-centric sound we all love so much. Definitely check it out if you are into Isis, Black Mountain or any other “mid-tempo metal”. There is a [...]
What exactly is a Megasus? According to the artwork for this self-titled album, its some sort of six-legged, bat-winged, horned and screaming equid. Pretty apt imagery for the music found therein. This is the aural equivalent of being trampled to death by mythical cloven hooves. Lets talk about the packaging shall we? These boys do [...]
How was this guy supposed to top From Here We Go Sublime? I didn’t particularly think he could myself, but somehow, impossibly, he has. The new album from Alex Willner aka The Field is completely amazing in oh so many ways – don’t mind me while I gush. I am really pleased to see the [...]
Please don’t ask me to explain myself on this one. All you really have to do is put a naked lady and some skulls on an album cover and I will most likely purchase it. No questions asked. Aurora Borealis has conjured up the vinyl edition of the album II from kvlt-folk rockers Sylvester Anfang [...]
Pan•American’s first two albums have been repressed on vinyl by Kranky. The self-titled debut album comes on one LP, and 360 Business/360 Bypass comes on two; all pressed on super quiet vinyl that faithfully reproduces the dynamics of the Pan•American sound. If you liked his most recent album, or are at all into Labradford, then [...]
Thought this was worth mentioning. Aquarius Records has got these two imported Jesu LPs in their webstore right now. Maybe a little pricey at $24 (and not significantly cheaper than just ordering them yourself from the Avalanche store), but Jesu completists know they need these two albums. Heart Ache is Jesu’s debut album and Pale [...]
More Mastodon news today. If you have been holding off on purchasing this album for one reason or another, I suggest you make haste to your local Hot Topic. They have the deluxe version there priced at $15.99 – that’s about $30 cheaper than anywhere else is currently offering. The deluxe version is two 180-gram [...]
Hmmm, might want to hurry on this one. Recently arrived in the Mastodon webstore is this mysterious colored vinyl version of the new album. It’s $2 more than the black vinyl version, that’s how awesome it is. $18.98 at mastodonrocks.com.
