After a few delays, we are pleased to finally make the Stone Wings "Bird of Stone Wings" album available again. We first heard this album after acquiring a copy of the self released CD from the drummer, Neil, a couple years back and it was clear that we had to do a vinyl edition. We were immediately struck by how engrossing, well written, and powerful the album was. Complete with venomous vocals, unreal harmonized guitars, and perfect atmosphere. Total doom, majestic and captivating, in the Australian tradition. Listen to the entire album <a href="http://contagionreleasing.bandcamp.com/album/bird-of-stone-wings">HERE</a><br />

This repress is the same rotten slab of vile, crusty filth. Hailing from Washington, DC, ILSA deliver 9 tracks, clocking in at 40 minutes, of blown out, severely down-tuned, crust-injected death-doom. The album has been remastered for vinyl by James Plotkin for total abyssic heaviness. Despite our mild disdain for band comparisons, parallels can be drawn to early Bolt Thrower, Paradise Lost, Axegrinder, later Anti-Cimex(think Scandinavian Jawbreaker era), Autopsy, and Winter. Disgusting horror reigns.<br />
<br />
This repress of the debut Ilsa LP is limited to 500 copies on 160g black vinyl, housed inside quality reverse board gatefold jackets, not Stoughtons like the first press. The band will also have a substantial amount of copies on their southwest dates en route to Rites of Darkness III this December.<br />

<br />
"Carnal Law" is the initial physical manifestation from California's Vastum. While recalling Finnish and Mexican death metal cults of old there is something contained within that is far more perverse and sinister. The barbaric song structures, doom ridden harmonies, sinister lead work, deranged psycho-sexual lyrical content, and disgusting vocal delivery all create a work far stronger and and more captivating than most current "new old school death metal" bands floating about these days have to offer.<br />

The overall sound is much crisper without sacrificing any of the heaviness or majestic atmosphere. We now have the photos of the original artwork and should be able to begin work on the layout at the beginning of next week. No release date is set as of yet. Samples are available <a href="http://www.myspace.com/birdofstonewings">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
It is our pleasure to announce that we will be collaborating on release of the LP version of Vastum's "Carnal Law" album with Deific Mourning. Sharing a good portion of the personnel from Acephalix and a Saros member, but not sounding particularly similar to either, their particular brand of dark, doomy, deranged death metal is downright confrontational and ugly, yet still quite melodic. Samples are available <a href="http://www.myspace.com/vastum">HERE</a>.<br />

So we should have it in our hands a couple days after that. We are in the process of getting a cart checkout system for the site, so that should be ready within the coming weeks, until then there will be info posted for ordering via email. We are hoping for a January First release, barring any unforeseen delays. A list of international distributors who will have copies will be up shortly.<br />
<br />
Next will be the rerelease of the Stone Wings "Bird of Stone Wings" album on double LP. Majestic, melodic, sorrowful death doom from Australia, known from their split EP with the mighty Mournful Congregation. The album will be remastered for vinyl by Dan Lowndes at Resonance Sound. Layout will begin once all the source materials are at hand.<br />
Following that will be a split EP between Ilsa and another band, who will remain unnamed at this time.Contagion Releasinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11383699135330570207noreply@blogger.com0
