Next Releases: Vastum "Carnal Law" LP, Stone Wings "Bird of Stone Wings" DLP

We have just received the final vinyl master of the Stone Wings album from Dan Lowndes at Resonance Sound. 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 HERE.

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 HERE.

ILSA "Tutti Il Colori Del Buio" Available [Sold Out!]

The Ilsa LP is now available for mail-order here: ILSA Tutti Il Colori Del Buio LP

ILSA LPs have arrived.

The ILSA "Tutti Il Colori Del Buio" LPs have been delivered to us. The heavy sleeves have most certainly exceeded our expectations and look truly excellent. The record sounds as it should, an absolutely devastating slab of crusty, rotten death-doom. Mail-order will be up and running by early next week, if not the end of this week. After sending out band copies, and trade and wholesale orders, we will have slightly less that a hundred copies available for sale. Here are some photos in the meantime:

The LPs will be $18 plus shipping, and will also be available at the upcoming Seattle and Portland Anhedonist shows. Ilsa, of course, will have copies as well. We are no longer accepting any more new trade offers or wholesale orders for this release, with the exception of restocks for labels and distributors we are already in working with. All previously arranged trades and wholesale orders will be sent out this week. Here is a list of international distributors whom will have their copies quite soon:

Abysmal Sounds (Australia)

Ahdistuksen Aihio (Finland)

Amor Fati (Germany)

At War with False Noise (UK)

Blood Harvest (Sweden)

Dark Descent (USA)

Fuck Yoga (Macedonia)

Soulseller (Netherlands)

as well as the following record shops:

Monorail Records (Scotland)

Everyday Music (Seattle, WA)

There will be a few other distributors and shops listed in the coming days.

Ilsa LP update/Upcoming Releases

The Ilsa LP will arrive back at Pirates Press on December 27th. 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.

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.
Following that will be a split EP between Ilsa and another band, who will remain unnamed at this time.

ILSA - Tutti il Colori del Buio LP release imminent.

The artwork and vinyl master have been sent off to Pirate's Press. The first press will be 300 copies on black 160g vinyl, all housed inside case wrapped, reverse board gatefold jackets. All pricing for both mailorder and wholesale will be posted soon. Anyone interested in helping with international distribution get in Contact. No firm release date as of yet, but hopefully it should be out around the new year.
