Wow, got to say, the packaging on this one sounds amazing – a gatefold jacket with printed inner sleeves and 200 gram translucent green vinyl mastered at 45rpm, all housed in one heavy duty slipcase. That’s a downright erotic description for those of us who lust after deluxe packaging. Oh, and the music? How about [...]
I don’t know much about this one. Maybe you don’t either. If that is the case go to Gator Bait Ten’s myspace page and check these songs out. I was instantly enamored. Ted Parsons plays drums (he has also played with Swans, Godflesh and Jesu). Some other dudes play some other things. The band is named [...]
Mogwai is ready to put out another beautiful record. I know, shocking, right? “Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will” is easily as good as their last album, and should definitely please both new and lifelong fans alike. This is also their first album on Sub Pop, which can’t possibly be a bad thing (the [...]
I was driving to work this very morning and literally asking myself when the hell this was going to come out on vinyl. Well The Man Downstairs must have been listening in, because lo and behold, I get to work and find out from our friends at HSS that this beast is ready to go. [...]
On their new album, “At Zero”, Germany’s Arktika mix everything that is good about post-rock, doom, and hardcore into a thick casserole of seven serene-then-bone-shattering songs that often clock in at 8+ minutes each. Some passages are incredibly epic, and the record should please fans of Envy, Isis, Mogwai, or Explosions in the Sky. The [...]
Sorry guys, we don’t always exactly breaks the news over here at OMGV. Usually not that big of a deal but when it’s a band we’ve championed as hard as Grails… for shame! These two long out-of-print albums from one of the best bands in existence today are now available to order on the vinyl [...]
Mogwai will debut their brand new live film, “Burning”, across the internet today, including right here! At 12pm PST / 3pm EST / 8pm GMT, just watch via the player window below. It will start with an introduction, then the film will play, then a question and answer session live with the band (use the [...]
Burning World Records have a tendency to release fine vinyl editions – this much needed pressing of Steve Von Till’s Harvestman project is no exception. You may go broke buying Neurosis albums on Ebay, but you will still run out of albums to buy. That’s when you have to start turning to side projects like [...]
While we all sit around waiting for a new Neurosis album (any news?) I suppose we could go ahead and order this new 2xLP live album taken from a set the group played at the Roadburn Festival in 2007. Just like the Harvestman record, this is available on limited gold or black vinyl at burningworldrecords.com and [...]
This one took awhile to grow on me, so maybe it’s a good thing that the stateside vinyl pressing took a couple months to show up. At this point I am fully ready to own This Is Happening on the proper analog format. It doesn’t quite hit the highs of Sound Of Silver (that’s probably [...]
