Metasplice “Infratracts” 2xLP

Metasplice drop a pretty much unannounced 2xLP of noise-afflicted, brain-grinding techno, just like that. You can order this right now at redeyerecords.co.uk or boomkat.com, but if you live in the US like me you can wait for our pal Jeremy over at experimedia.net to pick up copies. We’ve been pushing a lot of electronic records this [...]

A Story of Rats “Vastness and the Inverse” LP

If you like your black metal a little (or a lot) droney, or you just like your drone slightly blackened, you might take a look at A Story of Rats and their new LP Vastness and the Inverse. It’s a tortured record, for sure, but its aura is meditative, not manic. Comes in a beautiful [...]

Ken Mode “Entrench” 2xLP

The new album from Ken Mode is available as a 2xLP on three different vinyl colors. Relapse in North America has them all at the moment, and if you are a fan of furious, hardcore-fueled metal, you should pick at least one of them up. Entrench on black, green or orange vinyl at relapse.com. Tweet

Black Pus “All My Relations” LP

March has come and gone, but Thrill Jockey’s March releases are still hanging around. April is here (along with new titles from the label) but we would be neglectful to not point you towards the brain melting new solo album from Brian Chippendale’s Black Pus. I mean, get real, what the fuck are we supposed [...]

Tape Tuesday: Tyr Records + Witch in her Tomb 7″

As we all know, cassettes are just a gateway drug for vinyl. Or is it the other way around? Either way, newly minted label Tyr Records has got the fix for black noise junkies. Debuting with four tapes of wretched sounds plus an essential 7″ from Witch in her Tomb, it’s recommended that you spend [...]

Sutekh Hexen / Andrew Liles “Breed in Me the Darkness / Second Coming Mixes” 2xLP

Let’s try to focus on the music for a second before checking out the specs on this awesome vinyl edition. Sutekh Hexen should be familiar to anyone with a taste for dark, experimental sounds. Their clamor is a unique breed of black metal, noise and drone; both terrifying and beautiful. Breed in Me the Darkness [...]

Thrill Jockey Records: Dan Friel “Total Folklore” and Black Twig Pickers “Rough Carpenters” LPs

Yesterday was a huge release day from Thrill Jockey, they seem to have those about every other week. Seriously, the label is so insanely prolific while maintaining an unmatched level of quality that it simply boggles the mind. Among the trinity of albums released yesterday were new LPs from noise-wrangler Dan Friel and Appalachian troubadours [...]

Prurient “Through the Window” LP

The new Prurient album has been released on Blackest Ever Black, and is now sold out from the label. Stateside distribution is in effect, however, and you can currently pick this up from experimedia.net. We suggest that you do, Dominick’s music under the Prurient banner is likely as “accessible” as he will ever get. That’s not [...]

Tape Tuesday: Belarisk “On Amorphous Dawn” CS

It should come as no surprise that NNA is releasing some great tapes this year, it’s kind of what they do every year. Also what they do: keep their tapes in print. That’s why you can still buy a split tape featuring Caboladies and Oneohtrix Point Never that was released almost 4 years ago. Novel [...]

Tape Tuesday: Prurient “Through The Window” CS

This literally sold out in the time it took me to post this. Give your tears to the internet: blackesteverblack.bigcartel.com. I believe they’ve only released the first 30 tapes (from a batch of 100) so keep your eyes peeled if you’re keen on this, probably more to come. This will be released on vinyl soon… Tweet
