Howdy friends! It's been a goddamn minute but I'm elated to inform you that I got a couple new ones for ya! Let's just go ahead and get to it, okay:
HEAVEN'S GATE - TALES FROM A BLISTERING PARADISE 12"
When most people think of Florida, they might picture retirement villages with seniors playing pickleball, luxurious Lamborghinis cruising to the beach, or leather-skinned swamp folks with a passion for NASCAR. However, Florida is also home to some of the fiercest punk bands imaginable. HEAVEN'S GATE is one such band. Instead of exuding the raw grime of ASSÜCK, HEAVEN'S GATE channels their rage into a powerful, concise, blast-beating behemoth. "TALES FROM A BLISTERING PARADISE" builds upon the animosity this fearsome foursome shared with us via their debut self-titled EP a couple years back, revealing a grotesque embodiment that has only become more exacting and deadly since that initial release; which is no surprise considering the extensive catalog of these folks, past and present. This record is eight tracks of seething, white knuckle extreme music - nothing more, nothing less.
Recorded by Ryan Boesch at Candor Studios, mixed by Will Killingsworth and mastered by Joel Grind, each record comes in a jacket laid out by Steak Mtn and featuring a cover photo taken by drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz nearly 30 years ago of Our Lady of Clearwater.
There are 150 copies on RED VINYL and 150 copies on YELLOW VINYL for mailorder while they last!
Also available on CD and TAPE through our friends at TO LIVE A LIE RECORDS!
偏執症者 (Paranoid) - MMXXII 12"
Behold! Previously only released on the digital format in the year 2022 as they became available and then via a series of 7"s on the Paranoid Northern Discs and D-Takt & Råpunk Records labels just last year, Beach Impediment is delighted to present these eight tracks on the 12" format to the North American populus. Much like the rest of the offerings from 偏執症者 thus far, these songs are top notch and thankfully did not fade away into cyber obscurity. Limited to a one time pressing of 500 copies, each record comes in not only a jacket adorned with the stunning art of Joe BB but also features an immense fold out poster by the acclaimed punk artist, serving as quite the visual compliment to the devastating compositions on this slab.
There are 100 copies on MARBLE ORANGE VINYL for mailorder while they last!
Also available as a 7" Box Set from our friends at D-takt & Rapunk Records (EU) and Sorry State Records (US)!
On top of that, I've repressed the CONDOR 12" in celebration of their EU/UK tour that pops off next week! Check out the poster below for those dates:
As always, you can buy em here and stream / download / buy here.
And that'll do it for now, I think! Much more to come as the summer months approach! Be well!
