Last but not least our distro news:
NNNNNEW STUFF
aloha - light works picture 12'' [10,50€]
label: mi amante
"this collection of seven new aloha songs was conceived to be an end-of-the-calender-year pleasant surprise: a care package or a thank you note to fans and anyone who might be curious. but aloha has a problem doing anything halfway, and the result is a set of aloha’s most gorgeous, ambitious and fully-realized songs. instead of saying thanks, aloha is probably saying hello to a bunch of new listeners. each song is based on tony’s acoustic guitars, but the world they inhabit is vintage aloha: richly detailed, moody, intensely rhythmic and flowing with melody. it’s probably aloha’s most inviting release, in spirit and in sound. aloha multi-instrumentalist and studio wizard t.j. lipple mixes in the studio magic while leaving the free-spirited vibe of the recording sessions intact (the ep’s closer, for example, is mainly a song written over an improvised piece). piano, brass, oddly tuned guitars, drums, bass, mallet instruments and vintage keyboards fill out the arrangements."

back when & the setup - split 7'' [4€]
label: init
"one new song from omaha's bastard sons back when, which is comprised of former and current members of caught in the fall, eyes of verotika, examination of the, plosion, and statistics. this is an epic 5 minute song that is halfway in between the fast "swords against the father" 7" material and their new full-length "we sang as ghosts" on shock value. backed with two new jams from richmond's the setup which has an ex-member of light the fuse and run. fans of the setup's split cd/lp on electric human project will be thrilled with these two follow-up songs."

back when - in the presence cd [10€]
label: init
"also new from init records is the "in the presence" cd from back when, which collects an assortment of tracks that provide insight into the band's progression from the relatively standard chaotic, noisy metalcore of their earliest ep to the sludgier and more artistic direction explored from the "we sang as ghosts" full-length to the present. included are songs from the "swords against the father" 7" and the split 7" with the setup, as well as an unreleased demo, remix, and jerome's dream cover. the result is a series of two- to three-minute fits where dense rhythms and droning clean passages start to seep in amidst frantically acerbic jumbles of riffs and shouting/screaming - until said acerbic characteristics start to dissipate and compositions begin to top five to seven minutes of much more dynamically fluid transitions and emotionally moving atmospheres. i'm still not a particular fan of back when's earlier material, but the growth they've exhibited since then is extremely impressive, admirable, and promising; so this disc is a great document of that growth and very clearly demonstrates just how far they've come. i'm very much looking forward to hearing some of their forthcoming new material... | aversionline.com:"

back when - swords agains the father 7'' [4€]
label: init
"omaha's best-kept secret (but not for long), back when offer up four songs of brutal, energetic hardcore that is equal parts fast, technical, epic, and heavy. this reminds me a lot of the band examination of the... before they headed down the neurosis-style route. the members of back when have also spent time in caught in the fall, eyes of verotika, robots don't cry, examination of the..., plosion, and statistics."

battlefields - entourage of the archaic cd [5€]
label: init
"nothing is stacked crooked about battlefields brand of doom metal infused hardcore. with circular, tightly bound percussion accentuated by opaque, razor sharp riffage, battlefields have crafted a mature, well-balanced blend of sabbath drones and mammoth breakdowns with stirringly abrasive screams. primarily inspired by epistemology, battlefields compose rich, archaic themes of natural catastrophe, omitted human history, and geographical landscapes, condensed into crushing, layered brutality.
this is an epic 13 minute, 17 second song that will also appear on a split 12" with building better bombs in europe. by far the band's best work yet. limited edition pressing of 500 copies."

cobolt - passoa 12'' [9€]
label: mi amante
"no, i surely won't tell you about the glorious past of these people before they founded cobolt, about some of them playing in or being connected to refused and all that. i bet you don't want to hear it anyway. if you do, go read it somewhere else! there are more important things to say. there is a new album to praise... after a couple of split-singles, one ep and two previous records (the already classic "spirit on parole" being the last one) "passoa" is their third revelation in full length - and what a revelation it is. it continues where "spirit on parole" left off, capturing its beautiful harmonies, its humble sense for melody, its altogether sublime songwriting. in fact, more than once you'll be reminded of everything that made the last album that magnificent. on the other hand, you'll discover so much more that'll make "passoa" even better. cobolt have never been more aware of themselves. their recent releases were masterpieces of self-exploration, now they found what they were looking for - they found a unique sound, their unique way of expression. when looking at the vital, hope insinuating green cover-artwork or the significant album-title and finally when listening to these songs, it becomes evident that on this record the band is more passionate, more energetic, more confident than on its predecessors. these semi-acoustic elegies, these brilliant pieces of singer/songwriter-induced indierock are bearing everything the band is adored for: irresistible realization of emotion and moods culminating in slow motion, a more than charismatic voice that is given to stuck in the listeners head as much as the accompanying melodies and the clearest, most vigorous production you've ever heard on a cobolt-record. when in their early days it would've been legitimate to see this band continue what codeine or slint once have started, such comparisons would do them more than wrong today. they are incomparably by now and "passoa" will definitely be referred to as a perfect example of combining moving atmosphere, moods and emotion with classic and intense songwriting. "passoa" has already been released last year by the nice folks at the spanish record-label bcore on cd-format. now, with the release on vinyl 12", you'll be able to enjoy this great piece of music more appropriate - on your turntable. and by the way, it's the first time ever a cobolt-record is released on vinyl. so don't miss out!"

coctopus - twelve inches of ... 12'' [9€]
label: teenage disco bloodbath
"brigade, and misfits-worshiping punks shanghai valentine broke up, something was already brewing in the steamy waters of boston harbor. two members from each band have come together to form coctopus, a troup that sonically embodies two decades worth of rock history. ripping guitar solos, epic harmonies, wah wah-ed bass lines, and raging drum-fills bubble to the surface on coctopus' debut record. fans of iron maiden, thin lizzy, black sabbath, motorhead, and jimmy hendrix should all take note. the musical virtuosity this band displays is only rivaled by the pure balls-out rock they create. the new record, entitled '12 inches of...' is a one sided lp with an etching on the b side."

ghastly city sleep - s/t (vanilla vinyl) 12'' [12,50€]
label: robotic empire
vanilla colored vinyl
"it isn't often new music surfaces that is so deeply intense, just hearing it may induce instant nostalgia; the ancient sensations you get when the seasons change, a vivid dream involving the first person you ever loved. in the same way that select few can simultaneously achieve dark and uplifting songs, the brooklyn-based quartet known as ghastly city sleep hone in on some immensely powerful elements to deliver a commanding, breathtaking first offering. on the ghastly city sleep debut, four tracks span thirty minutes... and when it's done, you actually feel different. to say it's "moving" is an understatement with what robotic empire safely proclaims to be one of the most groundbreaking releases we've ever been a part of.
while two pieces nearly reach the six-minute mark and the other two eclipse nine, the whole offering flows with a smooth liquidity, creating one solidified, captivating body of work. the four young men involved in ghastly city sleep don't stick to one instrument long, as the entire collective can be found playing everything from guitars, keys, various percussion and just about everything in between. the multitude of layers involved here are accompanied by a warm yet haunting array of vocals, all helping to produce this simply epic debut. this vinyl version is housed within two jackets (the outer one having a spot varnish) and overall this turned out beautifully!"

"this 24-track, 22-minute blasterpiece showcases two of the most ferocious newcomers to the grind/powerviolence scenes in many years. magrudergrind bring the scathing, thrash/crossover influenced grinding mayhem while shitstorm terrorize with gruffer, speed/death metal-tinged destruction� together creating one of the most abrasive split albums ever conceived. with no direct mimicry, these two young trios manage to walk in the same shoes worn by grind greats like discordance axis and pig destroyer, both delivering absolutely pummeling performances with only the use of guitar, drum and voice. that's right, no bass players are needed for songs this short, fast and absolutely relentless... and no heavyness is compromised with each band's best recordings to date and a fantastic mastering job by west west side. top it all off with unbelievably sick artwork from baroness' john baizley, and you've got a split undeniably destined for full-blown "classic" status."

metal hearts - socialize 12'' [10,50€]
label: mi amante
"growing up is a bitch; it is just that simple. it’s a heartbreaking mix of bullies, break-ups, and braces. finding your voice in that mess of hormones is a daunting task that irks many of us through our adult life. yet somehow in the thick of it all, baltimore duo and avid shoplifters metal hearts have musically found a way to reassemble and redefine those woes into a record that is as refined as it is raw. eighteen-year-old anar badalov and nineteen-year-old flora wolpert-checknoff began making music together in january 2004. says wolpert-checknoff, "we met through my sexy greek best friend. anar was dating her that month, and i had dated her in kindergarden.” so the time spent leading up to the band’s self-released debut escapists was as much about contest as it was creation. however, within the context of competition came eventual artistic understanding—so much so that the enemies-turned-collaborators continued to write songs via email during their first year of campus life. badalov, who moved to baltimore with his family from azerbaijan during the 1991 breakup of the soviet union, sent sound files and correspondence to wolpert-checknoff, who’s lived in baltimore since she was 2. eventually, each decided that college wasn’t the right place at the right time, and they returned to see what they could come up with together. soon enough the former high school adversaries turned collaborators were back in baltimore, living together, and plotting world domination for their proxy-band. luckily the tension that had fueled their initial meeting continued to trickle onto the basement four-track. adds badalov, “the whole experience was fun…until we started going crazy we'd start laughing hysterically, then become upset and frustrated, back and forth." escapists came out just as manically as the sessions that produced it. the follow-up sessions, which they immediately started recording afterwards, quickly grabbed the attention of pacific northwest mini-mogul david dickenson. before the band could blink they were opening for pedro the lion in front of a packed hometown crowd and had themselves a record deal. on their suicide squeeze debut, socialize, the duo (along with drummer/recording engineer sam leiber) drop a mope-addled dose of bedroom rock. on which anar's baritone lends a low foundation to flora's airy registers. sonically meshing together the angular bites of long drive-era modest mouse, the expansive bedroom drone of arab strap, and the subtle whispers of cat power. all through blended waves of layered finger picking, sparse drum loops, stringed accompaniments and distinctive vocal melodies that weave in-and-out from the duo’s respective extremes. wolpert-checknoff pipes up, "we are already working on our next record, and words can't describe how excited we are about getting it out to people. it's far more expressive and evolved than socialize is, although we do feel socialize is a good start. we hope listeners think so, too" badalov adds with a smirk, "yeah, this album sucks, but our next one's gonna rule!" ahh...to be young again!

sinking steps rising eyes - majestic blue cd [9,50€]
label: init
"sinking steps...rising eyes present their long awaited debut full length, a collection of songs, it's more inline with a musical composition; with traces of their roots in hardcore. clocking in at over 40 minutes, the album feels organic and life like, songs seem to have personality. vocals are few but each song seems to speak volumes. the album is as brutal as it is serene, with comparisons to bands like denali, (a less heavy) isis, mogwai, and the blackheart procession. the songs are crafted with guitar, bass, piano/keys, flute, melodica, vocals and drums.
story: so back in winter 2003/2004, every wednesday night a bunch of kids would go bowling in sioux falls and i would often meet up and bowl with them. it was at these bowling nights where i was able to get to know eli and brogan from sinking steps rising eyes better. brogan kept telling me to release his band's cd, as they were left without a cd after the label that was going to release it went under. eli was a bit less pressuring about it and burned me a copy of the recording and told me he didn't know if i would be into it, but if i was, they were looking for someone to help put it out. at first i expected to not like it, truthfully, but was going to help them put it out because they were awesome kids, but once i listened to it a few times, it really grew on me, and i told them i'd put it out because they were cool kids and i dug the cd."

torche - in return 10'' + cd [15,50€]
label: robotic empire
available colors: asteroid, green swirl, maroon swirl
"it sure doesn't feel like it, but it's been three years since torche's eponymous debut, and now they return with a blistering new release fittingly titled, well, "in return". this monstrous, seven-song, 20-minute ep pushes torche's musical extremes even further as the "poppy" songs are far more catchy, and the "heavy" songs are infinitely more crushing. the band continues to explore every side of their multi-faceted personas, presenting their darkest, heaviest and most infectious work to date!
"in return" is also robotic empire's most obsessively ridiculous packaging yet; a beautiful full-color john baizley design as a gatefold 10" jacket with a printed innersleeve and a die-cut that holds the companion cd in place, all housed in a thick mylar bag with a two-color sticker. yep, this deluxe colored vinyl comes with a musically-identical cd counterpart so you don't have to deal with any digital download hassles if you simply want this thing on your computer. however, you'll definitely appreciate the physical nature of this true beast once you see and hear torche's absolutely mammoth new release, as this truly is the most over the top packaging we've done to date"

"since 2001 transistor transistor has been touring relentlessly and releasing various ep's demonstrating a love affair with loud and aggressive rock music. at the beginning of 2004 though, transistor transistor found themselves at the end of a 5 week european tour and down two members. instead of closing up shop like so many of their peers, transistor transistor found countless reasons to press on, and reinvent themselves. almost immediately james moller and brad wallace, who played in orchid, bucket full of teeth, and wolves, were added to the line-up. wallace and moller both being long time friends of the band synched up perfectly and sparks were flying from the first practice. not a step was lost and the band had every reason to think big and begin writing new songs, demonstrating this new found chemistry. transistor transistor effectively locked themselves in a practice space for the next 7 months, working harder and being more critical of themselves than ever before.
erase all name and likeness is the result of a labor of love, and of a band ready to take a look at its core song writing values and explode them in every direction possible. fans of the band will find transistor transistor to still be in love with loud driving rock songs, but will find these new songs to be heavier, more complex, and more dynamic then any previous releases. they will also find transistor transistor stepping out of their previously defined boundaries and exercising some post-rock leanings indicative of a band not afraid to evolve. lyrically and thematically focused on issues of identity and presentation, erase all name and likeness is a passionate display of loud music finding a new voice. whether it be the familiar stylings of the 90 second "sweet william" or the 13+ minute "a sinking ship full of optimist" fans old and new will find something to bang their heads to."

versoma - life during wartime (confetti vinyl) 12'' [12€]
label: robotic empire
confetti colored vinyl, this color is ltd. to 300!
"the influence of independent and alternative music's celebrated past is undeniable on versoma's six-track, 18-minute debut ep... but with plenty of aggression and passion retained from years in the punk/metal/hardcore underground. with members having done time in lickgoldensky, anodyne, hot cross, orchid and more, one might expect chaotic screaming madness, but (fortunately) this is a wall of guitars mixed with desperate, wailing and haunting vocals; darkness mixed with simplistic genius, and the manic quality control of three different label owners involved. recorded at translator audio with band-member mike hill and mastered at west west side by alan douches, the first sonic offering from versoma is an exciting step towards uncharted audio territories, and an excellent indication of things to come."
