FInal+Fear Falls Burning preorder update

Final+Fear Falls Burning - S/T lp preorder

The Final+Fear Falls Burning lp is now available for preordering here.

Dirk Serries (Fear Falls Burning) and Justin Broadrick (Final) are both musicians with an impressive discography that spans over 2 decades.
They both emerged from the same underground scene in the early eighties, releasing small print tape releases, often on the same labels. When they finally met for the first time in 2007 on a Jesu / Fear Falls Burning European tour they hit it on straight away.
Their common love and interest in the avant-garde drone, experimental music scene resulted in Final's stunning contribution to the epic 'Once We All Walk Through Solid Objects' 5lp set by Fear Falls Burning.

A full-length collaborative album was only a matter of time.

About a year in the making this collaborative album showcases Final and Fear Falls Burning's ability to expand the drone genre with allowing power chords, figurative plucking and electronic-esque soundscapes to lead the 4 songs on this album.
The collaboration is much more than just a sum of both their projects together but it realizes an entity on its own.

In your face, metal-esque and avant-garde at the same time, Final and Fear Falls Burning took the leap forward in creating a intriguing variation on drone music.

This lp is limited to 500 copies: 75 on clear, 125 on silver and 300 on black. The lp will be housed in a sleeve with varnish print & cut-out and will come with a coupon for a free mp3 download!

Apex Fest III

Gnaw are playing Apex Fest III in New York on November 13/14. Other bands playing include the Austerity Project, Uneartly Trance, Hecate and Aphelion.

Here are some press quotes and a liveclip from their show in New York a couple of weeks ago for those of you who are still unfamiliar with them.



"...the sound of abjection... a claustrophobic feel, pressing in on you relentlessly." - Signal To Noise

"For those who didn't have the patience to absorb Khanate (your loss), Gnaw's sound is abrasive, but relatively concise: The five-minute "Vacant" has a propulsive percussiveness that would go over well with fans of Industrial music..." - Pitchfork.com

"...an overwhelming monolith of uncompromising and malevolent nastiness." - Brainwashed.com

Boris Feedbacker

The Boris posters that are included in every Feedbacker lp arrived yesterday and they are looking great! We are waiting for Boris' approval of the testpress and as soon as we have that we will start taking preorders. Hopefully this will be somewhere next week. We want to thank everyone who wishlisted the item, if you haven't done this already we advise you to do that over here, that way you'll be the first to receive a notification when the item goes online.

Boris - Feedbacker LP

We will be re-releasing Boris at Last - Feedbacker on vinyl on 20/10. 200 copies on limited red vinyl, the rest will all be pressed on black vinyl. Keep your eyes peeled for preorder deals. You can already add the item to your wishlist here.

A single 43-minute composition / symphony (broken into five tracks for easier access) from Japan's drone druids that goes from etheral to crushingly heavy and everything between. Stark in contrasts and attention to texture." Some bands are fly-by-night operations, garnering instant fame, critical acclaim and shattering all album sales expectations within their first couple years of operation. You've seen 'em before - they're certainly here today, everyone's darlings tomorrow, and merely relegated to curbside refuse service just before the end of the week. Boris is certainly not one of those spontaneous success stories. Though the thunderously heavy and melodic Japanese experimental rock outfit has only very recently been introduced to American ears - most notably via its groundbreaking 2006 release, Pink - the trio has been steadily grazing its unique sonic turf for well over the past decade. And the release of its latest full- length endeavor, Smile, will force the boundaries of Boris' already-expansive repertoire -which features nearly a dozen albums - into new extremes. This is the LP version of the cd released in 2005. A limited Picture Disc version on 333 copies was released at that time as well. - boris at last – feedbacker – is featured on the 2009 Motion Picture Soundtrack of ‘The Limits Of Control’ By Jim Jarmusch. - Boris is invited to ATP in NY this September (curated by THE FLAMING LIPS), where they will play Feedbacker in its entirety (for the very first time for years)- Lp comes with a huge poster!

Master Musicians Of Bukkake’s newest record and part of a Northwest trilogy, Marks an evolution from their first record “Visible Sign Of the Invisible order” (Abduction records 2005). MMOB has now solidified into a 7 piece cosmic psyche force. Like a reverse dark side of the New Age sound, on the Totem series Master Musicians of Bukkake perform ritualistic electric excursions into the outer and inner reaches. Relying more on the electric power of psyched guitars, analog synth chants, and exotic heavy percussion. Totem one echos with the delusions of a West Coast Death cult. Outer spaced Gamelan, dusty fuzz rock from celestial deserts, meditations of a deranged Krishna gathering, and the Blurry acoustic guitar majesty of The Cascade mountains all reveal themselves here in epic form On Totem One. Every sound and note played put to tape by a group with a singular purging purpose. Totem one also features Vocals By MMOB honorary member Alan Bishop of the Sun City Girls.
Totem One will be available early 2009 on Conspiracy records followed by EU and US touring from Master Musicians of Bukkake.
Totem Two will be released on Abduction records in mid 2009. Master Musicians of Bukkake began in the fertile music scene of the Pacific Northwest in 2003. Originally founded as a collective of musicians from the overflowing community in Seattle. In 2005 they released “Visible Sign Of the Invisible Order” a recording of improvised ritualistic musical gatherings by the collective. Recorded mostly outside deep in the Cascade Mountains and in large ensemble sessions at Aleph Studios. The record was released on the Sun City Girls Abduction record label and featured honored guest appearances by Alan Bishop and Charlie Gocher of the SCGirls.

"Like an Ur-fart from the sphincter of the Lord", Julian Cope about MONNO's Ghost album

"GHOSTS by Monno is a superb late Doom album, and another real spiritual aid in the mega-meditation department. It sends me under every time as the drummer leads proceedings in a highly ritualistic manner similar to Justin Greaves' cavernous concussion during the opening of Teeth of Lions Rule the Divine's classic LP RAMPTON, but with the guitars of Stephen O'Malley being substituted with the glacial sub-bass of Holy McGrail. Deep into the album, elements of Thrones appear, while the curious smasmodic rhythms of the song 'Merrule'pitch them into the big band No Wave of Lydia Lunch's QUEEN OF SIAM. But while the whole album rises and falls throughout its length, there is at the heart of each track a supreme turbulence that crashes through the psyche of the listener like an Ur-fart from the sphincter of the Lord.
