AMBARCHI, OREN IN THE PENDULUM'S EMBRACE

SOUTHERN LORD 

2LP

€16.90

AMBARCHI, OREN TRISTE

SOUTHERN LORD 

CD

€16.90
"besides collaborating with sunn0))) on the forthcoming "black one" album, oren has allowed southern lord to release this solo album. the recordings of "triste" were previously available on limited edition lp/vinyl format only. this southern lord release combines the original lp recordings + some remix collaborations by tom recchion. it is available here for the first time in compact disc format. the "triste" material is reminiscent of orens playing on "grapes from the estate". oren has transformed the guitar sound/tone into a dark, tonally extreme, percussive instrument. imagine stripping sunn0))), or earth of all its distortion and layers, down to a singular pure immense tone. he then plays and arranges these subsonic tones melodically creating beautiful drone sound-scapes. glacial minimalism at subsonic depths! "triste" is packaged in a mini'-gatefold lp sleeve. thick constructed cardboard with immaculate printing." (label info)

ASCEND AMPLE FIRE WITHIN

SOUTHERN LORD 

CD

€16.90
"ascend is a new collaborative musical project between gentry densley (iceburn, eagle twin) and greg anderson (sunn 0))), goatsnake, engine kid). both have been making music that has crossed paths several times in the last 19 years.(!) the most notable being during the 90s when andersons' band engine kid toured with and shared a split album with densleys' band iceburn. during that time both were heavily experimenting with the fusion of jazz (mahavishnu orchestra, miles davis, john coltrane) and the dark behemoth tones of influences such as the melvins, gore, slint, and the caspar brötzmann massaker. ascend re-visits some of the tones, and moods of their past works as well as traveling into uncharted territory all done with the utmost focus on heaviness and power. special guest appearances on this album by andy patterson (drums), steve moore (aka stebmo, also in earth and often times : sunn 0))) ) trombone, organ and wurlitzer, bubba dupree (void) guitar and none other than kim thayil (soundgarden) put down some incredible lead work! the packaging and layout was created by stephen o' malley with a homage to their favorite jazz records of the past from labels like ecm and impulse!"

BORIS ABSOLUTEGO

SOUTHERN LORD 

CD

€14.90
2001 release of these '96/'97 recordings. "after several impossible to find japan-only releases, the darkest hour of their entire body of recorded material is finally available worldwide! a one hour song with a bonus track 'dronedevil 2' has been added to this newly remastered version. after touring the us in 1996 boris retreated to their homeland to lay down this punishing, cult masterpiece. like sleep, boris was ultimately inspired by the melvins (in particular the lysol album) and earth. besides pure heavy riff-droning bombast, boris adds a unique experimentalist ambience to all they touch. earth-moving drones swallow the listener whole, then regurgitate you as a mass of sloth like jelly." (label info)

BORIS AKUMA NO UTA

SOUTHERN LORD 

CD

€14.90
boris adds a unique 'experimentalist' ambience to all they touch. which perfectly explains their involvement and collaboration with such cult-experimental artists like: merzbow, and keiji haino. every release from this group is different, colossal in its own right. boris also incorporate elements drawn from other sources, including psychedelic rock, garage rock, metal, noise, minimalism, and pure sludge-drone. akuma no uta is now available in the usa for the very first time with a cover that perfectly re-creates nick drake's bryter layter." akuma no uta is a 39 minute, six song album that offers up a variety of styles from past boris albums, drawing from the heavier-than-thou rumble of absolutego and amplifier worship to the exquisite beauty of flood, and the sheer jams-out-kickin' of heavy rocks." -- aquarius.

BORIS AMPLIFIER WORSHIP

SOUTHERN LORD 

CD

€14.90
2003 re-release. "enormously epic doom powerful enough to move mountains and decimate large cities, 2003 brought us another classic re-release from boris in the mammoth form of: amplifier worship. nearly all their releases are impossible to find, japan-only releases. so once again, another dark chapter from their massive body of recorded material is available worldwide! boris add a unique 'experimentalist' ambience to all they touch. which perfectly explains their involvement and collaboration with such cult-experimental artists such as merzbow and keiji haino. every release from this group is different. colossal in its own right. earth-moving drones swallow the listener whole. they have a lot in common with the melvins musically, including a fondness for heavily down-tuned guitar/bass tones and exceedingly slow tempo. but they also incorporate elements variously drawn from other sources, including psychedelic rock, punk, noise, minimalism, pure sludge-drone music ŕ la earth, and the more recent, rhythmic trance experiments of their countrymen the boredoms."

BORIS PINK

SOUTHERN LORD 

CD

€15.90
the brand new studio album from boris: pink. followers of the band already know that each release boris will do something unexpected, entirely unique, and continually forging in a new direction. pink is absolutely no exception! however, for possibly the first time these new recordings effectively combine all the strongest elements of what boris is capable of into one solid, complete, concise album. the mega-drone of amplifier worship is apparent in songs like: (track 5), the balls-out punk rock is evident (track 4 and track 9), extreme dark-psychedelia manifests itself track 8 and 10) and the '70s fuzzed out acid rock is represented in foot stomping tracks like the title track and track 3. the clincher on pink and new element that is brought to the table is an infusion of ultra-catchy melodicism into their already heavy foundation. the album opener and closer as well as title track contain infectious vocal melodies that, combined with intelligent song-writing, create a solidified, undeniable union. as with all previous boris releases on southern lord, the packaging is uniquely psychedelic with the utmost attention to detail created by stephen o' malley . pink come with a die-cut cover that when opened reveals 3 perforated acid-tab cards! (label info)

BORIS SMILE

SOUTHERN LORD 

CD

€15.90
"boris are searching for sounds that are also an extension of life and the many experiences they have had in the two years that have passed since the release of pink. in their quest boris are drawing upon unconventional influences such as: obscure hair metal, japanese cartoon songs, and 80s' japanese pop singers to help shape the bands new directions. they are unafraid to embrace different sounds that are definitely not hip or cool within the context of accepted rock, noise, or drone music. these bold moves are really nothing new from the band that basically changes with every release with a conscious effort to not repeat what they have done in the past. smile is a new sound which represents everything that is right now. boris hope "this is going to be a new experience for everyone beyond 'music'". it features collaborative guests: stephen o' malley (sunn0))), ktl), and michio kurihara (ghost, white heaven, the stars)." (label info)

CONFESSOR UNRAVELED

SOUTHERN LORD 

LP

€15.90
"emerging from over a decade of hibernation, confessor have returned to form, heavier, harder, and more focused than ever! they first put their mark on the underground metal scene in the late '80s by combining some of the genre's essential elements in a way that no band had attempted yet, and that few, if any have successfully blended since. unraveled is produced by dick hodgin (ex-corrosion of conformity producer) and is a wonderful representation of the classic confessor twisted guitar riffing and complex drumming, meshed with some more straight forward parts and a toned down and very melodic vocal approach. a must have for those into: don caballero, the fucking champs, breadwinner, c.o.c, and pelican." (label info)

EAGLE TWIN THE UNKINDNESS OF CROWS

SOUTHERN LORD 

2LP

€18.90
"debut release from eagle twin with gentry densley (iceburn, ascend) at the helm. recorded by randall dunn (earth, sunn0))), kinski, ascend) and mastered by mell dettmer (boris, earth, sunn0))), etc). the best thing to come out of salt lake city since the osmonds. although iceburn was primarily a instrumental force with eagle twin, gentry is much more vocal and the depth of his lyrics is endless. his vocal evocations bring to mind the hoarse rasp of tom waits and howlin' wolf but channelled through tuvan throat singers. his voice is used much like an instrument and often times creates a unique drone of its own. the riffs and music definitely have familiar reference points (caspar brotzmann massaker, earth, sunn 0))), melvins etc.) but are crafted in a way that stands miles beyond the others. "om's trance-inducing hymnals, kyuss-ish flights of fancy, and in densley's stentorian growl, the grizzled tones of arch experimenter tom waits." - rock sound" (label info)

EARTH HEX

SOUTHERN LORD 

CD

€15.90
"the fifth official studio album from the legendary seattle group earth, and their first new studio album in nine years. joined by new permanent member adrienne davies on drums and percussion, longtime group leader dylan carlson delivers an intensely powerful album that defies the normal restrictions of a definable genre. nine tracks that channel the band's monolithic sound in different directions concentrating on guitar tone exploration via compression, echo, tremolo and reverb." (label info)

EARTH RADIO LIVE

SOUTHERN LORD 

LP

€16.90
"we are proud to present a exclusive, vinyl only live album from earth. comprised of two tracks from a live radio broadcast on kfjc (new years eve 2007) and two track from a live performance in vienna on there 2008 european tour. of particular note is that trey spruance (secret chief 3, faxed head) plays baritone guitar and sitar on the kfjc recordings. the sound quality is incredible and crystal clear! the 180 gram black vinyl comes housed in a beautiful cloth-like textured heavy-weight cardboard sleeve with metallic silver foil printing! this release is limited to 3,000 copies." (label info)

EARTH THE BEES MADE HONEY IN THE LION'S SKULL

SOUTHERN LORD 

CD

€15.90
"earth's latest incarnation has arrived. the band returns once again to it's continuing evolution. where "hex" reveled in dark satanic twang and austere american beauty, "the bees made honey in the lion's skull" finds dylan carlson and the band growing into a harder, more rock, american gospel and impovisitory direction framed by truly psychedelic production and blazing guitar sounds. earth is also very honored to be joined on this record for three songs by legendary and virtuoso guitarist bill frisell. mr. frisell adds a brilliant texture and counterpoint to the scintillating and inspired riffs of dylan carlson and the band. adrienne davies joins again on drums lending a classic and steady feel to the proceedings. steve moore also returns adding heavy hammond organ and his intense jazz inspired piano playing. live bassist don mcgreevy also makes his full length earth debut on this record. the cd comes nicely packaged in a slip-case/o-card and features artwork by arik roper."

GRAVE TEMPLE, THE HOLY DOWN

"in the blistering hot summer of 2006, while war was raging all around them, attila csihar (tormentor, mayhem, and contributing vocalist of sunn 0)))), oren ambarchi (contributing member of sunn 0)))) and stephen o'malley (khanate, ktl, sunn 0)))) convened in israel to perform shows as a trio under the moniker: gravetemple. despite pleas from friends and families, and an imminent war with numerous terrorist attacks around them, the trio plowed ahead to lay waste to the unsuspecting israelites. this album: the holy down is a documentation of the absolute sheer force these three radicals threw down during these rare performances. an epic 60 minute journey, ritualistic, mesmerizing and completely raw. the cd comes packaged in a 5 inch mini-gatefold jacket along with a booklet that contains photos and liner notes (in english and hebrew!) from rabid fans that attended the performances."

"the 3rd sacred voyage of drone mantra purity from om! helmed by the master rhythm section of chris hakius (drums) and al cisneros (bass) (both formerly of sleep) pilgrimage contains four brand new songs featuring the gropus unique use of riff, cadence and chant. lyrical themes address the processes of mind, psychic reality, astral and causal planes of being, and the nature of the soul. pilgrimage was recorded and engineered by steve albini at his electrial audio studios in chicago and produced by the band. mastering was handled by bob weston (also of shellac). of particular note is how much the song-writing has developed and in turn makes the dynamics of the songs much more intensely powerful. the present journey finds the band expanding their vision into new territories."

SUNN O))) & BORIS ALTAR

SOUTHERN LORD 

CD

€15.90
"the first collaboration between southern lord's two kingpins of avant- metal, "altar" is surely the most eagerly-anticipated extreme music release for some time. the wedding of sunn o)))'s brutal drone symphonies with boris' kaleidoscopic noise results in a wholly unique album that alchemically merges familiar elements of each band's sound into a transfigured, mysterious whole; roaring drones rise and collapse beneath blasts of disorienting, warped horns, the end result a heaving, psychedelic mass that looks set to induct yet more devotees to the shadowy explorations of both acts. the album features various contributions from other artists, including jess sykes, who provides haunting, melodic vocals on "sinking belle" kim thayil (soundgarden), who contributes some enthralling guitar work to the album closer; and joe preston (earth, thrones, melvins, high on fire) , whose psychedelic vocal style is present on "akuma kuma." the end result is a mind-blowing sludge of cathartic, blurred noise." (label info)

THRONES DAY LATE, DOLLAR SHORT

"joe preston. current address: on the road with high on fire. previous employers: earth, melvins, the whip, sunno))), high on fire. thrones is the solo project of joe preston. thrones features all instruments. including bass, drums, vocals and synth performed by joe preston. many of the tracks on day late, dollar short are taken from hard-to-find previous thrones releases. the album also features some very rare and previously unreleased tracks. priority numero uno for the label who is at the forefront of all things extremely heavy. this is the first official thrones release in five years."
