8/7/26 - New releases from SIN OFFERING and CRAZY CLUE OUT NOW!!

                                      

Howdy friends! It's been a minute! Got two new slabs, a repress and a rare distro update locked and loaded for y'all today, let's get right to it:

SIN OFFERING - GUILTY 12"

There is no other verdict. You were born with the mark on your forehead. You have always known that you are to be expelled from their circle. And the door will creak; it will be heavy; you will struggle to cross the threshold. You will feel their eyes on your back, and it will be like this even when you reach where it is sylvan. You will smell ash; you will find your veil is burning. The leaves underfoot will be dead. You will walk along the riverbank, and your skirts will catch on the brambles.

There is, somewhere else, innocence. Sin Offering offers only GUILTY, their debut 12” EP for Beach Impediment Records, Sound Grotesca, and Side Two.

GUILTY, named for Georges Bataille’s Le Coupable, is stitched from discarded fragments of metallic punk, deathrock, doom metal, and post punk—think Tožibabe, the Dead Relatives, Potion for Bad Dreams-era Void, Paul Chain Violet Theatre, and Danse Macabre. Or: vocals many have described as “girl Rozz Williams” + the Simmons SDSV + Will Heggie’s bass on Garlands + Mick Mars by way of Randy Uchida. Lyrically, GUILTY fixates on the uneasy proximity between prohibition and violation, drawing from the Pentateuch and the Gospels as much as from nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature of abjection (Mary Shelley’s Mathilda and Colette’s L’ingénue libertine).

Elizabeth Siddal, sketched as Ophelia, opens her mouth to speak: “All changes pass me like a dream, / I neither sing nor pray; / And thou art like the poisonous tree / That stole my life away.”

Each record includes comes in a chipboard jacket and features a 12 page booklet - all of which was designed by the band.

There are 150 copies on translucent white vinyl for mailorder while they last. If you're going to Skull Fest this year, don't miss em!!!!

CRAZY CLUE - WHERE THE DREGS DWELL 12"

CRAZY CLUE “Where the Dregs Dwell” is ten blasts from the unravelled gaseous mass of 80s HC a la NOTA, Rebel Truth, and Pig Children, the thumping bloodwart of the modern greats like Dawn of Humans and SHIT, and the hysteric touch of Totalitar in some kind of Scandi-wegian pogo tinged open faced sandwich. Featuring the greatest mind of 21st century traditional hardcore Mr. Bobby Cole (Annihilated, Total Con), and the Vanda-Young of distorted guitars, Mike and Jonah from Canada, Crazy Clue’s WHERE THE DREGS DWELL is ten tracks of ear damaging fizz thud clunk and squeal, paved with anguished cries and dotted with gloriously wrong sounds, cheap techniques, and luxury results. When there’s no more room in hell, where will the dregs dwell?

There are 100 copies on translucent yellow vinyl for mailorder while they last.

As always, you can snag / download / stream em here and just regular snag em here. 

In addition to these new ones, the CONDOR - SINGLES 2017-2018 12" has entered it's 5th pressing! And holy smokes, I've been squirreling away some distro items after swearing off ever wanting to do so again some years back! I just can't quit you (that's directed at the Amdi Petersen's Arme Discog in particular) anyways:

V/A - TARANTULA ON MY COCK Tape + THE TIDEWATER ARSE Zine Anthology (highly recommended for Virginia deep heads)
BAD POSTURE - C/S + DEMOS 12"
BEAST OF BEAST - SEX, DRUGS... AND NOISE 12"
AMDI PETERSENS ARME - DISCOGRAPHY 12"
AUTOMATED EXECUTION - S/T EP
ENDLESS JOY - S/T 12"

Woowee!!! What else... as I am writing this, the PUBLIC ACID / INVERTEBRATES - OPERATION HARDCORE US TOUR is down to it's last few days! Since I keep getting questions about it, no I do not have any copies of the Split 12" done for the tour and no it will not be repressed! This was a tour exclusive done since the 7"s weren't gonna be ready and the legends at Donaldson Pressing took it on with us. With that said, y'all who didn't snag a split are in for a treat when the EP's drop in the fall!

I think that does it for now! Barring any shenanigans, records by the likes of PUBLIC ACID, INVERTEBRATES, WHITE CROSS, SIKM and more will be out before the year is done. 

Be well!
