(NA 059 CD) CD.....$10.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26020 ASEETHE / MAUUL - Navitas Est Deus (split) LP VINYL (Scenester Credentials) <p>Finally available to the world, the epic "Navitas Est Deus" split LP as performed by Aseethe and Mauul. This release is a combination of two of our favorite doomy experimental ambient noise artists. Although not intended as a collaboration the record plays as one. Aseethe is one man, Brian Barr (ex-Law of All Ends), playing structured distorted electronic doom noise compositions. The Aseethe side of the split features, Ill Omen, an 18 minute long song that falls somewhere in between SUNN0))) and Jesu. When listening to Aseethe the listener is wrapped in the power and dynamics of the bands compositions. Mauul is the one man minimal noise and sound scape experimentation project of Phil Mauul from Open Goat. The Mauul side of the split is noise / sound experimentation at its best. Minimal to the point of non-existence and layered with a powerful blend of electronic skronks, static, and noise spanning 18 minutes in length. Scenester Credentials is very proud to have been involved with the release of this limited edition LP.</p> <!-- <hr /> <p>Track listing</p> <ul> <li>Courage and a Brick (<a href="../sounds/spectacle.mp3">mp3</a>)</li> <li>Flag of Defeat</li> <li>By God</li> <li>When Every Move is Anticipated</li> <li>From Sandbox to Laboratory</li> <li>All Towers Must Fall</li> <li>Self and Others</li> <li>I, Fail</li> </ul> --> <p>109 copies in a one-time-only pressing.</p> (SCENE 016 LP) LP VINYL.....$11.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26049 ASVA - What You Don't Know Is Frontier (white vinyl) CD (Southern) <span>Helmed by Stuart Dahlquist, formerly of Burning Witch, Goatsnake and Sunn0))), and recorded with the cream of the Pacific North West's rich musical talent, including members of Burning Witch, Mr. Bungle and Earth.

The self-titled debut album was one of its kind: picture every negative emotion ever conceived, set to some of the most crawling, painful, polarizing, and mesmerizing atmospheric blackened sludge doom ever, and you’ll get a glimpse of the blackened heart of Atavist. The band’s second album, II:Ruined, is a massive, monolithic, introverted chapter of audial suffering and torment. It sees Atavist plunge further into the audial abyss by incorporating more layers and substance to their art (not unlike the way Japan’s Corrupted portray their immaculate aesthetic). Heavier, more diverse, intricate, and melodic, II:Ruined is just that; an unforgiving observation of self-reflection, repentance, and desperation. With guest performances from Justin Greaves, (ex-Iron Monkey, Crippled Black Phoenix), and dark folk/rock/doomster Rose Kemp, (who's 'Unholy Majesty' LP saw release in 2008 on Aurora Borealis ), II:Ruined is a decidedly darker beast, lurking in the shadows, evading the casual listener and rewarding the devotee. It is interesting to note that this was the final album for this line up of the band, one can only wonder at the self-fulfilling prophecy of such and immense and bleak work. Perhaps its a wonder they are all still alive. This double vinyl edition of II:Ruined on Aurora Borealis marks a long overdue vinyl release for this important milestone of extreme doom in the UK, and stands in monolithic testament to their achievement. </span> (ABX 033 2XLP) 2xLP VINYL (GATEFOLD).....$16.48 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26029 BEEHOOVER - Heavy Zooo CD (Exile On Mainstream) <span>Lock away your children and send away your mother in law: the HEAVY ZOOO is coming to town. Freaks, wonders and Animalia curiosities! They're here, they're real and they're alive! Come ogle at the nine-headed sword-swallowing dragon, seek advice on your own impending apocalypse from the prophecy machine, but proceed with great care as the two-piece riff-machine called BEEHOOVER comes firing ten new, hot molten rocks of doom, metal and stoner rock into an astonished crowd near you!<br /> <br /> Their performances on tour with THE HIDDEN HAND and STINKING LIZAVETA in 2007 left audiences with mouths gaping and the band overdosing on adrenaline, which they channelled straight into their new album. It's raw and angry, it makes you wanna smash your mothers' favourite china and roll on the floor laughing at the same time. "Heavy Zooo" combines these emotions and won't leave much time for taking breath. It's complex, yet it makes you dance. It's four on the floor but it's not disco. It's progressive but still pure rock for the masses.<br /> <br /> Unconventional circumstances helped in its creation: the album was written at 6am over a couple of weeks, then recorded and produced in a cinema before being mixed at the bands' own studio. The surreal artwork has been chosen to meet the sound of the album perfectly. Have a look at it and you'll know how it sounds!</span> (EOM 035 CD) CD.....$12.48 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26046 BEEHOOVER - The Sun Behind The Dustbin CD (Exile On Mainstream) <span>Debut album from the German heavy two-piece. No way to categorize this. YOU GOTTA hear it! Bass and drums. Nothing else. A twisted shaker full of doomy and melancholic feelings, letting in influences from Krautrock, Avantgarde and Jazz.<br /> </span> (EOM 024 CD) CD.....$12.48 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26044 BEN NASH - The Seventh Goodbye CD (Aurora Borealis) So here it is: "The Seventh Goodbye". Clocking in at 34 minutes, its not an overly long album, but rather one that demands repeated listenings, a collage of so many layers, patterns and textures so as to be as dazzling as the plummage of the finest peacock in paradise. Musical elements as diverse as folk, raga, Eastern percussion, drone, prog and noise collide and coalesce as the album unfolds, with each of the eight tracks providing new twists and turns, with never an element out of place.<br /> The slow beginning of opener 'KUAD 9873' is a drone and vocal drenched movie score, chiming Western guitars building and dissolving in the sun before we move into the more unforgiving nocturnal territory of 'Night Call'; wind instruments trade cries with guitar scree, whispers and piano. Title track 'The Seventh Goodbye' is largely guitar based, with multiple tracks, rolling percussion, layered vocals and saxophone. That this should all be the work of one man is quite astounding, and its clear that comparisons with BEN CHASNY and VOICE OF THE SEVEN WOODS are more than mere flattery. 'Resolution' plays counter point to the drama of the previous track, a relatively short piece of solo guitar, psychologically much lighter.<br /> 'Smoke and Flattery' is largely percussive, with a variety of singing bowls, shakers, gongs and cymbals, before a vocal drone, handclaps and a simple bassline come in. Its perhaps the most Krautrock moment on the album, reminiscent of POPOL VUH, before the rhythms and melody dissipate into the ether as the track segues into 'Magnetophone 8 PtII', a slow building and intense piece with a fantastic distorted guitar climax boiling over into a wash of reverb drone. ' What will always be PtII' is the most beautiful track on the album, worthy of JACK ROSE or any other of the current cream of the solo guitar raga worshippers. No sooner have we grown accustomed to the beauty and light however, we find ourselves in the company of 'Angel #7', alone in the woods, the cries of the night creatures piercing the ringing in our ears. Its a strange journey indeed, full of many conflicting emotions, but one that you will instinctively take again and again. May it never end. <p> <br /> </p> (ABX 024 CD) CD.....$12.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26040 BLACK EYES - Black Eyes LP VINYL (INCLUDES FREE MP3 DIGITAL DOWNLOAD OF FULL ALBUM) (Dischord) <small>Black Eyes first full length is back on vinyl after being out of print for a few years.

Black Moth Super Rainbow has crept from the forests and cities to make Eating Us, their dark bubblegum freakout for 2009. The first fully hi-fi BMSR record, Eating Us, adds space and dimension to the band's sticky, off-kilter melodies. This isn't an album about witches and woods, and this time around the band isn't letting on to what it all might mean. Because to them, it's just better that way. The modern musical unit known as Black Moth Super Rainbow first emerged from an obscure Pennsylvania forest glen in 2003 to relay a somewhat confounding sound with Falling Through a Field. Over the next few years, that peculiar sound developed, and the cult of BMSR began. With the release of their naturally sweetened, candy-coated, and acclaimed 2007 treat, Dandelion Gum, a number of curious listeners bent their ears and adjusted their listening habits to incorporate Black Moth Super Rainbow’s oddly creepy and off-beat sweet audio plyings. With support slots opening for Flaming Lips and Aesop Rock, the oft-camera shy outfit was soon positioned in front of thousands of brand new sonically adventurous music enthusiasts who weren't necessarily prepared for the eccentric visuals of BMSR's surreal live show, but would hopefully emerge changed, and be better off for it.<br /> <br /> Their new full length presentation for 2009, Eating Us, promises to up the ante on the fidelity and melodies that BMSR have become known for. Here, the merry cryptic band has added some new flavors to their already well-established rainbow of sounds, with even more dense layers of lushly complex orchestration, intensely rhythmic drumming from a live, human drummer, vocoder vocals that are anything but robotic, and thick,<br /> undulating bass tones. Recorded at Tarbox Road Studios, Eating Us marks the first time BMSR has ventured into a modern recording studio. Production and partial tracking were handled by Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, MGMT, Weezer) whose hands and ears were the only ones trusted to keep the freaked out wiggles and hairy candies fully in-tact, while also expanding them in a more realistic space. <br /> <br /> Now a six piece, BMSR could come or go at any time, however 2009 promises a return to touring.</span> (GF 045 CD) CD.....$11.48 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26047 BURIAL HEX - Initiations CD (Aurora Borealis) "Initiations", the debut recording for Aurora Borealis, is a lengthy proposition. Clocking in at one hour, thirteen minutes, it represents a journey, a metaphysical odyssey of uncertain outcome. From the psycho-religious clamour of 'Will to the chapel' with its jihadic cries, through to the somnambulant, subterranean oscillations of 'Eight pentacles', the way ahead is far from clear, the atmosphere claustrophobic and threatening.<br /> 'The river of Los' showcases a new breadth of vision for Burial Hex with layers of undulating analogue synth and gentle percussion, an opiate addled take on the horror electronics hinted at previously, and perhaps an indication of things to come. This long track takes the listener on a river journey, part Apocalypse Now!, part Orpheus in the Underworld, submerged in Carpenter's dense Fog, slow moving discomfort and ague. The album ends with the half speed collisions, static miasma and white noise squawl of 'Bo -II- Ne', the listener deposited on shores unknown, prostrate at the feet of the infinite mystery.<br /> <br /> Burial Hex has surpassed all expectation with "Initiations": Kneel, o ye acolytes, before an astral-industrial opus of vast depth and occult magnitude. (ABX 022 CD) CD.....$12.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26038 BURIAL HEX - Initiations 2xLP VINYL (Aurora Borealis) "Initiations," Burial Hex's debut recording for Aurora Borealis, is a lengthy proposition. Clocking in at one hour thirteen minutes, it represents a journey, a metaphysical odyssey of uncertain outcome. From the psycho-religious clamour of “Will To The chapel” with its jihadic cries, through to the somnambulant, subterranean oscillations of “Eight Pentacles”, the way ahead is far from clear, the atmosphere claustrophobic and threatening. 4 tracks 73 minutes. Psycho-religious clamour, jihadic cries and somnambulant, subterranean oscillations create an atmosphere claustrophobic and threatening. Limited to 500! (ABX 022 2XLP) 2xLP VINYL.....$14.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26028 CLUES - Clues CD (Constellation) <span>This is the wondrous debut record from Clues. Co-founders Alden Penner and Brendan Reed have been quietly nurturing this project in Montreal since the demise of their respective bands, Unicorns and Les Angles Morts. As a member of the short-lived Unicorns, Penner's songwriting prowess was unveiled in a bright burst of mysterious and kaleidoscopic energy, in the form of a single full-length album (released in 2003) and countless live shows, both of which rallied passionate responses from audiences and critics alike.<br /> <br /> Penner's voice, guitar and unique lyrical vision now guide Clues, with humble authority, originality and intent. Wedded to Reed's own superlative compositional and arranging acumen (and awesome drumming, among other instrumental skills) and abetted by multi-instrumentalists Ben Borden (Les Automates de Maxime de la Rochefoucauld), Lisa Gamble (Gambletron, Evangelista, Hrsta) and Nick Scribner (Chaotic Insurrection Ensemble), the band delivered sporadic and fantastic local performances through 2008. They then entered the Hotel2Tango studio to lay down eleven songs in a feverish session during a Montréal winter deep freeze. The resulting album radiates a very special warmth and urgency, full of secrets, smiles, snarls and sing-a-longs.<br /> <br /> This debut record yields one undeniable tune after another. It is one of those albums that coheres effortlessly in spite of the restless energy and distinct identity of each song – nothing ever really sounds or stays the same, but neither are there any forced spastics or facile schizophrenics. Forged from postpunk, no-wave and psych influences, Clues compose a rare breed of complex pop anthems that consistently inscribe their own perfect limits, without overreaching and without pandering. The overriding aesthetic avoids ornate decadence and stringent economy in equal measure. An authentic, unfussy and stirringly epic little sonic world unfolds: idiosyncratic and enigmatic, but exuberantly infectious and approachable.<br /> <br /> Clues offer up a highly original, intensely committed and hugely satisfying definition of indie rock; we are thrilled to be shepherding it into the fractured world of popular music and we believe it is deserving of your attention and engagement.<br /> <br /> Clues is available on CD in a custom gatefold cardstock package printed with metallic and full colour inks. The record is also available on 180 gram virgin vinyl LP and as a digital release.</span> (CST 057 CD) CD.....$13.48 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26042 CLUES - Clues LP VINYL (180 GRAM) (Constellation) <span>This is the wondrous debut record from Clues.

The band have been consistently impressing us since we first heard them back in 2006 and we are very happy to have snagged them for this release before tagging them and releasing them back into the wild.<br /> <br /> The 'Shaking, waking' LP consists of two lengthy tracks: 'Tidal Blackness' is a 23 minute cloud of improvised guitar and bass drone, underpinned with sparse percussive elements and dappled with the rays of ethereal melodies. This track, recorded live in Oakland in 2008, represents the more gentle side of HEAVY WINGED in some ways and is largely soothing. The second side harbours 'Morning Flesh', 18 minutes that veer towards the caveman Krautrock of the recent 'Alive in my mouth' LP, drums pounding, Neanderthal guitar chugging, though with a melodic haze drifting across the musical landscape like a lysergic mistral, leading the listener ever further into the shifting sands of the forbidden zone.<br /> <br /> HEAVY WINGED have set the controls for the heart of the unknown.<br /> <br /> Two track LP - a VINYL ONLY release, on 180g transparent pale grey vinyl, limited to 500 pieces in a heavyweight matte sleeve.<br /> <br /> Side A: "Tidal blackness" - 23:12<br /> Side B: "Morning Flesh" - 18:02</span> (ABX 036 LP (GREY)) LP VINYL (180 GRAM).....$15.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26030 JOURNEY TO IXTLAN - Journey To Ixtlan CD (Aurora Borealis) Journey To Ixtlan are a band who draw together doom metal with desert rock in an unholy (and most likely metaphorical) sonic dustbowl, populated only by threads of tumbleweed and harsh, spiny cacti - but the tumbleweed is tumbleweed of pain and the cactus is a cactus of despair. Oh cripes, I just can't churn out this psych-metal parlance like the pros do. The Aurora Borealis press release blurb for this album is far more informative and pretty entertaining to boot: "Journey To Ixtlan are an anonymous badass rock band of desert dwellers, in some cases living outside the law at the very margins of society, who converge infrequently to render their physical surroundings in psychotropic sound. Their heavy sound owes as much to Doom Metal as it does to Psychedelia, as much to Now as it does to Then, as guitar, bass, drums, keys and vocal chants intertwine like shamanic smoke. To listen to Journey To Ixtlan is to participate in a ritual out of time, to tread the path of Don Juan, to lay on the mesa as a 'man of power' and be touched by the sun at the heart of the cosmic stage."

When constructing works under the K11 project, Riparbelli uses only<br /> sounds from the atmosphere and from invisible, unknown sources. In this way, Riparbelli creates more esoteric works than his field recording based material as PT-R, and Voices From Thelema is perhaps the logical conclusion of such an enterprise. Voices from Thelema is an instrumental trans-communication action with short wave radio receivers realized inside Thelema Abbey in Cefalù, October 14, 2007. The ruined building stands derelict and on the verge of collapse, though still holds many secrets and has been a focus for much counter cultural activity since its foundation by Aleister Crowley in 1920 as a religious centre and commune where he could instruct disciples in his emerging Thelemic religion and systems of magick in a rural atmosphere, far from the overpowering prevailing morality of England. Activities included meditation and ritual magick, as well as the sensationalised drug taking and sex magick. The wall of many of the rooms were painted with fantastic murals by Crowley himself, depicting many of the elementals and demons encountered in his magickal exercises, and the remains of many of these adorn the accompanying booklet. After being ejected from Italy following scandal and outcry over the goings on at the Abbey, the walls were whitewashed and destroyed. Filmmaker Kenneth Anger, himself a devotee of Crowley, later uncovered and filmed some of its murals in his film 'Thelema Abbey' (1955), now considered lost, and the Abbey has been a place of pilgrimage for many ever since.<br /> <br /> K11 now revisits this site and seeks to uncover the genius loci, the very essence of the building itself, to reach out into the ether and construct meaning and reality from that which is beyond our grasp. The three tracks are the result of this work and, each bearing titles of Thelemic significance, can be said to hold the essence of all that<br /> remains at Cefalu, like the background radiation that tells of the Big Bang.<br /> <br /> DO WHAT THOU WILT SHALL BE THE WHOLE OF THE LAW</span> (ABX 029 CD) CD.....$13.48 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26041 KINGDOM - 9 Lives (clear orange vinyl) 7" VINYL (New Age) Hailing from Philadelphia, PA and representing the vegan straight edge movement, Kingdom play fast and angry HC with pissed off female vocals, akin to bands like This Time Tomorrow, Gather and 7 Generations.

Most prominent amongst its members was Georges Bataille, whose writings gave life-blood to that, and this project. Acephale's etymology is from the Latin a-cephalus, meaning headless or without a chief. The motivations? Religion. Sociology. Philosophy & The Sacred Conjuration. An ensemble fiercely religious in a Nietzschean manner, currently resurrected in this incarnation fusing equal portions epistemic terrorism and literary atavism, basing its transmission in the combination of both black metal and folk elements while also including the experimentism and ambience of both these genres.<br /> Conceived initially by Set Sothis Nox La in 2003 on a steady diet of Wolfthorn, Les Joyeux De La Princesse, Corrupted, Toroidh, Hate Forest, Drudkh, Krzysztof Penderecki, Veljo Tormis, Henryk Mikolaj Gorecki, Huun Huur Tu, A.V.A and various Tibetan and world folk musics in the cauldron of ceremonial birth. This project currently embodies several co-conspirators building on that foundation with additional elements: bacchanalian percussion, Volkisch metal tinges and multi-vocal assault. Finding further insight from such luminaries as the thelemic prankster Kenneth Grant, Heathen epics such as The Eddas and The Sagas, romantic writings (such as Ludwig Tieck, Georg Heym, Georg Trakl amongst others), the Kosmischer Kreis (Alfred Schuler, Stefan George, Karl Wolfskehl) and the writings of the french decadents - surrealistic writers like Latreaumont and Unica Zurn. As well as writings related to Ouilipo (aka "Ouvroir de literature otentielle") and authors such as Robert Walser, Bruno Schulz, Rene Daumal, Clark Ashton Smith, Arthur Machen and James Havoc. To the films of Ingmar Bergman and the Brothers Quay, and such artists as Hans Bellmer, Suehiro Maruo, Andre Masson, Frantisek Kupka, Franz Von Stuck and the great Austin Osman Spare.<br /> While celebrating such folkways and beliefs prior to this modern era, be they Odinist, Druidic, Chod or many other belief systems wherein the balance of everyday life remains close to the earth: Life not separate from spirituality, but a spirituality infused with the base material. Not the "as above, so below" philosophy of Hermetic thought where one spiritual entity reigns above, but closer to the concept of Radical Traditionalism. Our philosophies, perhaps best quantified with the Bataillean statement that we stand as "a war machine against received ideas." - Set Sothis Nox La, April 2007 (ABX 017 CD ) CD.....$12.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26035 MARGINAL MAN - Identity (reissue) LP VINYL (INCLUDES FREE MP3 DIGITAL DOWNLOAD OF FULL ALBUM) (Dischord) <small>Marginal Man was formed in 1983 after the break-up of Artificial Peace, a seminal dc HC punk band. Featuring former AP members Steve Polcari, Pete Murray, and Mike Manos, and joined with Kenny Inouye and Andre Lee, Marginal Man released one EP (Identity), and two LPs (Double Image and Marginal Man), along with a couple of appearances on compilations (Alive and Kicking, and State of the Union). During the band's five and a half year existence they toured North America twice, toured extensively up and down the east coast, and played numerous shows in the DC area, culminating in a farewell show on March 24, 1988 with two sold out sets at the 930 Club. “Identity” was recorded in 1983 by Ian MacKaye and Don Zientara at Inner Ear Studios and was originally released as a 12” EP in 1984. Although “Identity” was re-issued on CD in 1997 the vinyl has been out of print for many years. In 2009 Dischord sent the tapes to be re-mastered at Chicago Mastering Service and we will be re-issuing the 12” EP, along with an MP3 download, in May 2009.</small> (DIS 013 LP) LP VINYL (INCLUDES FREE MP3 DIGITAL DOWNLOAD OF FULL ALBUM).....$8.48 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26018 MARZURAAN / TEN-HORNED BEAST - Marzuraan / Ten-Horned Beast (split) CD (Aurora Borealis) Some fresh auditory malevolence from Aurora Borealis, this time in the form of a split album from North Eastern harbingers of doom TenHornedBeast and Marzuraan. The first piece takes on an elongated, sinister drone, clocking up almost half an hour of distant, echoing string resonance from bowed guitars and cold, steely walls of distortion. The next track is roughly half the length, taking on a more song-like structure, with recognisable instrumentation coming together for a quarter-hour or so of curious shoegazing doom. It's a little like Jesu without the vocals and electronic soundscaping, just acres of textured guitar, low end pressure and brooding drums. An odd juxtaposition of styles, but an intriguing diversion from Aurora Borealis' more customary output.

Elverum And Sons) <span>The music of “Mount Eerie” and “The Microphones” has always been a very personal, almost voyeuristic, view inside the mind of Phil Elverum. Dawn is an archival core sample from an intensely creative period of Elverum’s life, the winter of 2002/2003 spent in arctic Norway, a kind of “lost album” finally properly recorded on just guitar and singing. It is being released in 2 pretty different forms. One, a 144 page hardcover book of journal writing chronicling a winter spent alone in a cabin, wrestling with ghosts, gathering wood, acting out the myths; 3 months of unfiltered brain torrents interspersed with drawings and including a 19 track CD of songs written during that time, as well as 16 color photo cards. It is bound in simulated “wood” paper. It feels like holding a piece of wood.<br /> The other format is a simple white vinyl LP of those songs along with a special booklet of scary self portraits done in the dark window reflection in overflowing ink, vaguely corresponding to the overflowing darkness in the 19 songs.</span> (ELV 017 LP (WHITE)) LP VINYL.....$13.48 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26032 OLDE YORK - Empire State CD (Countdown) Old school style New York HC.

Their new album is full of Doom Metal and Hard Rock. "The Black Is Never Far" is the pinnacle recording of The Place of Skulls, a true testament to the amazing songwriting ability of this seminal band, encompassing, doom metal, 70´s heavy rock, blues and classic rock.

They almost certainly get involved in live role playing games too, but all you really need to know about this record is that it's the group's debut album and it's a rollicking good listen. Across two lengthy pieces the band align themselves with the more far-out tendencies of Acid Mother Temple or perhaps even Sunburned Hand Of The Man unshackled from their more Woodstock-oriented tendencies. In amongst all the shifting textures and sinister wailing sounds you'll hear a jumble of campfire percussion and the kind of organ playing you might last have heard on an Italian horror movie soundtrack. Oddly, there's a bit of a devotional, trance-inducing quality to this music, and you most certainly wouldn't want to accept a glass of grape flavoured Kool-Aid from them, but this album is well worth donning a robe for.

Once teeming with insect and amphibian life, the great swamps of the Carboniferous era were buried under the weight of 300 million years, eventually returning to the surface as coal. In this new form they would be consumed in fires and furnaces for three thousand years before blackening the lungs of Empire and driving the Industrial Revolution. It was then that James Hutton, the first geologist, began to consider the depths beneath our feet and the unimaginable abyss of time that they represent. This is the world of The Stargazer's Assistant. This is the forge of the Earth. This is deep time.<br /> The Other Side Of The Island is the soundtrack to the sculptural works collected under the same name, both being the work of David J Smith. In addition to his percussion duties with Guapo, Smith has spent the last two years bringing his visions to life; life that emerged slowly, painstakingly, out of wax, coal, copper and lead. In much the same way, the soundtrack itself slowly writhes organically before the listener: the groan of the motherlode, the shifting of tectonic plates, the song of the Earth's crust. In collaboration with longstanding musical cohort Daniel O'Sullivan (with whom Smith plays in Miasma & The Carousel Of Dead Horses) and audio engineer Antti Uusumaki, Smith has created a strange work comprising of layered vocals, percussion, electronics and prepared strings.<br /> The Stargazer's Assistant offer up the soundtrack of eternal, elemental labour.</span> (ABX 018 CD) CD.....$12.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26036 TIME FOR CHANGE - Memoirs CD (New Age) Influenced by bands such as Trial, Unbroken and Strife, Time For Change produces heartfelt and outspoken lyrics coupled with fast melodic riffs that rise, dive and inevitably crash down into catastrophic breakdowns leaving listeners overwhelmed and wanting more.

They are always keen on being influenced by other bands, from whichever end of the rock spectrum: they try such influences out on themselves and see whether they fit or not. QOTSA, At the Drive-in, Tool, Shellac, Primus: you will find their traces in this record. But, most importantly, you will travel in a moon-like, weird and psychotic landscape, with maybe even a David Lynch dimension to it, and will walk through blurry and dazzling tracks.</span> (EOM 031 CD) CD.....$12.48 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26045 YAKUZA - Transmutations 2xLP VINYL (GATEFOLD) (Scenester Credentials) Finally the vinyl version of this great release!

Upon actually hearing the album, it’s a relief to discover that <em>Monolith</em> is no <em>How We Rock</em>, <em>Do We Really Want to Hurt You?</em> or <em>Grave New World</em>. Amebix’s already metallic style, which originally consisted of drunk-punk takes on the simplest Venom and Celtic Frost / Hellhammer riffs, doesn’t lose much with the minimal added soloing and metal beats. There is a little added speed, which takes away somewhat from the heaviness of the music, but sporadic D-beats make the album a little more varied. <em>Monolith</em> isn’t the instant classic that <em>Arise!</em> was, but it’s a very good crossover album that’s firmly rooted in anarcho-punk ethics.

Enter powerhouse vocalist Marjan Welman and ALTITUDE. Aiming for their usual lofty heights, Autumn <span style="display: inline; visibility: visible;" id="NoteSnippet" name="NoteSnippet">and Welman have crafted an album of soaring, dramatic metal that relies as much as tasteful guitar crunch as it does on atmospheric synths and samples. "Liquid Under Film Noir" is powered by a steady hum of buzzing electronics and melodic guitars, and the epic title track weaves a tapestry of layered harmonies over which Welman's delicate vocals float.</span> (METAL 14725 CD) CD.....$11.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26004 BELIEVER - Gabriel CD (Metal Blade) Believer may seem like a new name on the metal scene, but they've been around since the late 80s. An influential act both in terms of technical thrash and Christian metal, they haven't released a full-length album since the early 90s. GABRIEL <span style="display: inline; visibility: visible;" id="NoteSnippet" name="NoteSnippet">ends their long silence, and it shows no signs of artistic atrophy. The band's razor-sharp mix of prog and thrash still dizzies the senses, throwing tight curveballs every other second. "History of Decline" is a collapsing rhythm that tears jagged gouges along the way, and "A Moment in Prime" is a cosmic trip of creation and destruction.<br /> </span> (METAL 14715) CD.....$11.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=25998 BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, THE - Majesty 2xDVD (Metal Blade) From the depths of human stupidity comes this first ever look into the relentless touring lifestyle of these thrashing death anti-heroes.

Throughout their career, the band has merely aimed to make the next album heavier than the last, and they had a challenge after 2006's KILL.

Be it progressive composition or simply their brutal delivery, each album is always a surprise. And PASSIONDALE, their eighth, is <span style="display: inline; visibility: visible;" id="NoteSnippet" name="NoteSnippet">no exception. Veering away from anti-Christian storytelling, the band offers a conceptual album recounting the horrors of life in the embattled small villages of Ypres and Passchendaele, which between them saw 900,000 casualties during World War I. The band's dark musicianship accentuates the solemn nature of the story, creating in turn a truly melodic death metal masterpiece.</span> (METAL 14724 CD) CD.....$11.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=25994 I KILLED THE PROM QUEEN - Sleepless Nights And City Lights (deluxe edition) CD / DVD (Metal Blade) Aussie metalcore band I Killed the Prom Queen were indisputably their home country's leading heavy export during their existence, and upon their 2007 dissolution, they gave their fans one last parting gift in the form of a 2008 farewell tour. <span style="display: inline; visibility: visible;" id="NoteSnippet" name="NoteSnippet">Recruiting original vocalist Michael Crafter for a brutal stroll through memory lane, the band recorded this hometown show in Adelaide for a live DVD. Old favorites like "When Goodbye Means Forever" and "To Kill Tomorrow" are performed with the abandon that comes with knowing the end is near, and recorded clearly with an ear for posterity.</span> (METAL 14726 CD/DVD) CD / DVD.....$14.48 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=25999 INTO THE MOAT - The Campaign CD (Metal Blade) <small>After a three-year break from touring, Into The Moat is revving the engines on the heels of "The Campaign" that expands upon the band's technical, almost grinding metal, adding more exploration of riffs and melody, showing how they have matured.</small> (METAL 14852 CD) CD.....$11.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26000 KYLESA - Unknown Awareness 7" VINYL (Hyperrealist) <small>"Unknown Awareness" is the first single from 2009's "Static Tensions," showing off the heavy signature Savannah sound with that A-side and the non-album track "Drum Jam" rounding out this record on the B-side.</small> (HYPER 021 7") 7" VINYL.....$6.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=25985 LAIR OF THE MINOTAUR - War Metal Battle Master LP VINYL (Southern Lord) Lair of the Minotaur's third full length on Southern Lord Records, WAR METAL BATTLE MASTER is a concept album about solving conflicts with a big F'ing axe! Recorded at Volume Studios in Chicago by Sanford Parker (Pelican, Unearthly Trance, Venomous Concept) and mastered by Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer member). The songs are a mix of the thrashing aggression & mega-riffage of the previous album: The Ultimate Destroyer and the unrelenting beatings & Sabbath chugs of Carnage, mixed with a new emotionless ferocity reserved for an executioner. In standard Southern Lord fashion the packaging of this album is epic...featuring illustrations by Jeremy Mohler and layout by Seldon Hunt. Includes a thick booklet.<br /> (SUNN 091 LP) LP VINYL.....$14.48 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=25986 LAST LIGHTS - No Past No Present No Future CD (Think Fast) Last Lights frontman Dominic Mallary tragically and abruptly passed away on December 5th, 2008 due to complications with his performance the previous day in Boston, MA. Think Fast! Records and Last Lights had finalized the band's signing in the days prior to Dominic's passing, so it is with great honor that TF! and the surviving members of Last Lights team up to release a discography of the band's music and art. "No Past No Present No Future" includes all of Last Lights previous releases and includes an instrumental track exclusive to this release. (TFR 038 CD) CD.....$9.48 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=25957 LAZARUS A.D. - The Onslaught CD (Metal Blade) The burly Wisconsin dudes of Lazarus A.D. are happily stuck in the 1980s thrash utopia embodied by classic bands like Slayer, Testament, and Anthrax, among others. They've embraced the classic style, but refuse to remain a slave to it on THE <span style="display: inline; visibility: visible;" id="NoteSnippet" name="NoteSnippet">ONSLAUGHT. The album's title is certainly truth in advertising, as its contents are almost unrelentingly heavy. Sheet-metal riffs fall like hammer blows on the oppressive "Absolute Power," solos like rusty meathooks sink deep into"Rebirth," and the stop-start gallop of "Forged in Blood" leaves dust in its wake. There's nothing fancy here, just an old-school beatdown.</span> (METAL 14849 CD) CD.....$11.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26003 LOVED ONES, THE - Distractions LP VINYL (Fat Wreck Chords) <small>Finely tuned from a slew of international tours, The Loved Ones hit the studio to record a six song EP that impeccably captures their Americana roots, pop influences, and unforgettable melodies—not to mention a tune or two you may already know and love.</small> (FAT 738 LP) LP VINYL.....$8.48 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=25968 LOVED ONES, THE - Distractions CD (Fat Wreck Chords) <small>Finely tuned from a slew of international tours, The Loved Ones hit the studio to record a six song EP that impeccably captures their Americana roots, pop influences, and unforgettable melodies—not to mention a tune or two you may already know and love.</small> (FAT 738 CD) CD.....$5.48 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=25969 MALEFICE - Dawn Of Reprisal CD (Metal Blade) Proving once again why Great Britain is a potent source of heavy metal, Malefice unleashes its second studio effort, DAWN OF REPRISAL. Combining elements of power-groove, thrash, death metal, and metalcore, Malefice sounds more akin to American <span style="display: inline; visibility: visible;" id="NoteSnippet" name="NoteSnippet">stalwarts Lamb of God and God Forbid than any of its melody-driven countrymen. Thick, meaty riffs reminiscent of Pantera's heyday permeate the album, making DAWN OF REPRISAL the perfect mosh pit accompaniment. Recorded and mixed by Dan Weller (Sikth) and Justin Hill, Malefice's sophomore release is a blistering example of how one cannot judge a band by its nationality alone.</span> (METAL 14723 CD) CD.....$11.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26005 MANATEES - Icarus, The Sunclimber CD (Eyes of Sound) From Carlisle, UK, Manatees are masters of seamlessly mixing destructive crushing heaviness with moving passages of eerie atmospherics and introspective ambience. Laced with feedback and noise, "Icarus, The Sunclimber" is far darker and bleaker than their previous release "We Are Going To Track Down And Kill Vintage Claytahh, The Beard Burning Bastard," a recording on which they collaborated with Oxbow front man Eugene Robinson. Capturing the raw, stripped down intensity of their near deafening live show, this is a record for which maximum volume is a must. (EOS 017 CD) CD.....$8.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=25955 MASTODON - Crack The Skye LP VINYL (Reprise) <small>Crack The Skye, Mastodon's fourth original studio album, mines subject matter from czarist Russia and astral travel to out-of-body experiences and Stephen Hawking’s theories on wormholes for an unrepentantly heavy aural assault that will shake the heavens.</small> (REPR 459132 LP) LP VINYL.....$17.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=25987 METALLICA - ...And Justice For All 2xLP VINYL (Warner Brothers) (WB 470716 2XLP) 2xLP VINYL.....$23.48 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=25988 METALLICA - Master Of Puppets LP VINYL (Warner Brothers) (WB 470844 LP) LP VINYL.....$17.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=25989 METALLICA - Ride The Lightning LP VINYL (Warner Brothers) (WB 424572 LP) LP VINYL.....$17.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=25990 NAPALM DEATH - Smear Campaign (picture disc) (import) LP VINYL (GATEFOLD) (Animate) Gatefold picture disc LP version released by Germany's Animate Records.

Following the footsteps of old school legends such as 4 Walls Falling and newer heavyweights Down To Nothing, Naysayer's mission is to keep the faith and make their hometown proud. Their brutal signature sound, coupled with their youthful enthusiasm for HC makes them a strong addition to the ever-diverse Reaper roster.

Blending metalcore with technical thrash and free-form jazz this time out, the Omahians align themselves with the likes of Meshuggah, <span style="display: inline; visibility: visible;" id="NoteSnippet" name="NoteSnippet">Behold. the Arctopus, and Cynic. Consequently, each track on THE BARNACLE CORDIOUS is an adventurous odyssey in sound, with break-neck time signatures, bone- crushing riffs, and surgical attention to composition. The follow-up to 2004's MISANTHROPOS sees the band advancing well beyond its collective years and creating an aggressive musical experience not heard since Candiria's heyday. <br /> </span> (METAL 14721 CD) CD.....$11.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26002 PRIMORDIAL - Imrama (deluxe edition) CD / DVD (Metal Blade) One of the longest-running pagan metal bands currently existing, Ireland's Primordial offers an intriguing blend of gothic doom, black metal atmosphere, and Scandinavian folk-infused metal like no other. In honor of the band's innovation and <span style="display: inline; visibility: visible;" id="NoteSnippet" name="NoteSnippet">longevity, Metal Blade Records has released this special two-disc reissue of Primordial's hallowed 1995 debut IMRAMA. The bonus disc contains the band's long out-of-print 1993 demo, DARK ROMANTICISM, as well as two live cuts from 1994.<br /> <br /> Additional Tracks; Special Edition</span> (METAL 14714 CD/DVD) CD / DVD.....$11.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=25997 PROTEST THE HERO - Kezia LP VINYL (180 GRAM) (Underground Operations) <small>This pressing of Kezia is on 180 gram black vinyl and features a new cover embossed with gold ink.</small> (UOPJ 003 LP) LP VINYL (180 GRAM).....$12.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=25992 PSYOPUS - Odd Senses CD (Metal Blade) Rochester, New York's Psyopus play "technical metal," meaning that every time signature shift, drum fill, and guitar note is planned and timed down to the second. Which also means ODD SENSES is an impressive feat on both a metal and a mathematical <span style="display: inline; visibility: visible;" id="NoteSnippet" name="NoteSnippet">level. On "Medusa," it's the precise, speed-of-light guitar theatrics by Christopher Arp that most impress; they're so exactly honed that they sound almost electronic. On tracks like "Duct Tape Smile," drummer Jason Bauers exercises his own kind of brutal efficiency. This might sound clinical, but it's all balanced by Brian Woodruff's furious, impassioned screaming.</span> (METAL 14712 CD) CD.....$11.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26006 PURPLE MERCY - Purple Mercy LP VINYL (Twelve Gauge) This self-titled debut LP features eight brand new songs from the California North Bay five-piece.

Less pedantic noodling, more drive ala Drive Like Jehu. Sounding not too unlike Division of Laura Lee, except that Quagmire enjoy throwing in some jangly dual-guitar melodies that push them closer to Seven Feet Four territory.<br /> (GS 013 CD) CD.....$11.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=25947 RAZOR OF OCCAM - Homage To Martyrs CD (Metal Blade) (METAL 14727 CD) CD.....$11.98 http://www.verydistro.com/moreinfo.aspx?id=26001 RISE AGAINST - Grammatizator 7" VINYL (Fat Wreck Chords) <small>The guys in Rise Against lost a bet with Fat Mike of NOFX/Fat Wreck Chords and for payment Fat Mike asked for an exclusive seven inch with two new, unreleased songs to be released by Fat Wreck. So they surrendered the last two unreleased songs from the Appeal To Reason sessions; "Grammatizator" and "Voice Of Dissent."<br /> <br /> The seven inch will be limited to 5000 copies, designed by Richard Minino.</small> (FAT 234 7") 7" VINYL.....$5.48 http:
