MENACE RUINE

Label:
ALIEN8 RECORDINGS (CANADA)
Format:
CD
Price:
$15.00
Catalog #:
ALIEN 075CD
"Hailing from the frozen north of the province of Québec comes the duo cloaked in mystery, simply known as Menace Ruine. Since the release of their blazing self-produced demo,
In Vulva Infernum
, they have allowed themselves to perform live and over the course of the last year have quickly risen to the top of the food chain in Montreal. At Alien8 Recordings, we have flirted with the outer circles of metal through our three releases from Nadja and now, with Montreal's Menace Ruine, we dive further into its darkened depths. On
Cult of Ruins
one is subjected to a blend of super-intense sound layered with horrific howls and relentless blast beats, only to then be confronted with a melodic and haunting ambient approach that still retains immense power. In this respect, Menace Ruine bare some resemblance to the mysterious French post-black metal horde, Deathspell Omega who have become famous for juxtaposing ambient music with absolutely crushing metal. Standout cuts on the
Cult of Ruins
include 'Dove Instinct,' which opens up with a beautifully haunting intro constructed with the use of controlled feedback that would not appear out of place on a recording from fellow Canadians, Nadja. Eventually the noise subsides and gives way to a wave of ambient brutality that is both ear-rattling and pretty at the same time. The album's second song, 'Sky as a Reversed Abyss,' opens on the ambient tip and moves at a much slower pace than much of the recording, serving mainly to build on the band's mystical feel before dissolving into the breakneck pace of 'Kill the Egregore.' 'Bonded By Wyrd' is an absolute standout track that is spearheaded by an incredibly catchy riff, backed with droning melodic vocals. An occult vibe runs through most of the album, but it is particularly felt on this cut. This song is the band's current live hit and for good reason, as it seems to empower the listener."

In Order To Dance EP
Label:
ALLYOUCANBEAT (GERMANY)
Format:

Price:
$11.50
Catalog #:
AYCB 010EP
"Before his much anticipated second long player
Who Is That Noize?
, you can now warm up with AYCB 10, the pre-release EP
In Order To Dance
. Three club-savvy tracks deliver a mouth-watering impression of the album to come, each tune speaking a slightly different language generated by Housemeister's unique studio-routine of jam session recordings and the use of heavy heavy machines."

AXOLOTL/INCA ORE

Price:
$5.50
Catalog #:
ARBOR 017EP
"Karl Bauer and Eva Saelens (Axolotl and Inca Ore respectively) are two like-minded Bay area psychers operating on two opposing levels. Axolotl marks the A-side with skyward streaking drones and ethereal loops tinged and focused, ringing with the joyous bliss of upward passage. An endless array of vocals, electronics, and violin looping and looping, building and growing: stasis. Inca Ore makes her craft from an Earth-bound level. Oneness with her surroundings, roots firmly planted. Eerie incantations and meandering harp play foreground to layer upon layer of looped vocals and murky ambience, charting your way towards forever. In an edition of 450 white purity colored 7"s in black and white pro-printed collage fold-over sleeves by Eva with a numbered insert."

BLACK MONK
Title:
Flowstone
Label:
ARBOR
Format:
LP
Price:
$11.00
Catalog #:
ARBOR 020LP
"Flowstoned and dethroned, finally. Last year's bored/burning summer spell of Eagle Rock entropy birthed a numb drum 'n drones duo dubbed Black Monk. The aesthetic of inept, free-punk drumming and red-eyed, void-surfing low-end infinity found output on two micro-limited cassette releases (one on Buried Valley, one on Zac/Lambsbread's Maim & Disfigure) and one weedian live show (in Tempe, AZ) and then the scholars split to separate coasts. Fortunately for us/you, Flowstone comes crawling outta the caverns of a babeless summer on a slab of black wax, collecting their out-of-print Murmur CS and half the V CS, plus an unreleased side-long wasteoid-land of subterranean percussion and roaring magma. Just in time for 2012. Black vinyl LPs in stark pro-printed fold-over covers plus a poster of arcane team scribble by BM. Limited to 270. Co-released with Not Not Fun."

WARMTH
Title:
Warmth
Label:
ARBOR
Format:
LP
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
ARBOR 041LP
"Even though Warmth main man Steev Thompson still appears to be incommunicado, totally epic recordings continue to surface. Before Roxanne Jean Polise was officially over and Steev still lived in Chicago, he joined up with another then-Chicago resident Branden Diven of Quilts/American Grizzly Records. The jams that were created filled a couple of CD-Rs and the
Warmth
side of the split with Quintana Roo on Not Not Fun. This LP consists of a remixed and edited version of the original CD-R running at just under 45 minutes. Forgotten smog floats through a Northside basement. Sounds emanate but their source is totally unrecognizable. Quiet growing tonal blobs erupt into washes of aural color. A complete union of samplers, synths, vocals, guitar, organs, percussion, and electronics merge to create the sounds contained within; a loss of individual existence. Completely serene. In an edition of 300 LPs on creamy yellow marbled vinyl with hand-stamped labels in pro-printed and screened fold over sleeves with art by Roy Tatum and an insert by Steev."
Artist:
YOUTH OF THE BEAST
Title:
Lantern
Label:
ARBOR
Format:
7"
Price:
$5.50
Catalog #:
ARBOR 046EP
"Youth of the Beast is pure primitive electronics, suffocating saxophone scrawl and epic percussion. Acting as the solo output for Raccoo-oo-oon's Andy Spore, this record is YOTB's first vinyl offering following up a few tapes on Night People and Fuck It Tapes. Blistering vocal screeches and mixer feedback blasts meld with stray tones as brass wails and drums are pounded. Spore is a master of channeling the spirits right into the basement where he crafts his jams, creating a captivating mass of noise and psychedelic signals crossing for a painfully beautiful 10 minutes. Breathless sax solos and massive tribal percussion interspersed throughout. The sum of all these parts is something intense, unknown; an ever-evolving sonic creature as bleak as it is restless. In an edition of 315 records with EPIC xeroxed double-sided/double foldover."

TRAUM
Title:
Built For Nothing
Label:
ARBOR
Format:
LP
Price:
$11.00
Catalog #:
ARBOR 054LP
One-sided LP. "Suburban Michigan is a breeding ground where every weirdo has a label, a band, and a handful of secret/under the radar collaborative projects. Here Graveyard's Ben Hall and Lambsbread's Zac Davis create a monolithic one-sider influenced by too many private press jazz records and abstract instrumentalism. Davis turns in his effect pedals for nothing; pure clean tones plucked up and down scales and bridges so uniquely that it is easy to confuse the guitar for a sax. Ben Hall drums like a man with four arms; constant rattling trap-tapping and assorted pots and pans clattering, flowing completely smoothly. A perfect union of sound. In an edition of 300 copies in screened chipboard sleeves by Anthony Decanini."

Format:

Price:
$14.00
Catalog #:
ARCANIA 001CD
Repress of the 1st volume in this series (Volumes 2 & 3 are currently o/p). "
Aliens Psychos & Wild Things Volume 1
is 1964-1969 garage punk and psychedelia from the Tidewater region (Norfolk, VA. Beach, etc.) of Virginia. Seven of the songs on the disc were licensed from Frank Guida, known for his #1 hits with Jimmy Soul and Gary 'U.S.' Bonds. Here his unique sound is applied to garage bands. Notable among songs never before available to the public is one by The Banana. Their take on The Velvet Underground's 'There She Goes Again' is the first documented cover of a VU song. Recorded in a tent by some G.I.s during the Vietnam war in 1967! All told, seven of the cuts are previously unissued. Now people everywhere can hear The Swinging Machine, feel The Heart Attacks, see The Wild Thing. Some of these original micro press 45s go for sums well into the upper hundreds of dollars... when they can be found. Going on 40 years, that is almost never. 16-page booklet. 26 songs. 69 minutes of music."

Format:
CD
Price:
$14.00
Catalog #:
ARCANIA 008CD
"Fore -- that's Volume 4 if you're counting. Arcania's
Aliens
series is primarily known for illuminating the shadow world of Virginia's mid-to-late '60s garage and psychedelic bands. The last Vol. (it's been almost 5 years) included half a dozen cuts from outside of VA. This is the reverse of that. Only half a dozen of the tracks on Fore are from the Old Dominion State. The roots of proto-psychedelia are to be heard on this compilation's first two tracks. Hollywood unknowns from 1965, never released until Arcania tracked them down: 'The Wind Blows Your Hair' is the same song recorded by The Seeds two years later. 'Don't Be Afraid' may have a very famous musician on it. 'It' is all in the notes of our 20-page booklet, along with loads of other info. FUZZ is the buzz word for this release, but there is some pop and jangle as well. All told, 7 of the 25 songs are previously unreleased. Only one song out of the batch has ever been reissued. Those that came out in the '60s are virtually unknown, even to most collectors. Unknown for now. But here comes
Aliens Psychos & Wild Things... Fore!
20-page booklet. 25 songs. 74 minutes of music."
