Cenotaph Obscure is the fourth album from Norway's death metal custodians Obliteration. Following their now classic Nekropsalms (2009) and the harrowing Black Death Horizon (2013), the latest offering further expands on the quartet's trademark sound: lead heavy old school death metal with distinct flavours of both doom and black metal. Inventive yet never difficult to grasp, technical without wankery and obscure without being diffuse, Obliteration are masters at their craft. Cenotaph Obscure was recorded in Studio Cobra, Stockholm with Martin "Konie" Ehrencrona at the helm, lending the album an organic yet in-your-face production. In perfect keeping with the music, the lyrics deal with dystopic, apocalyptic themes, extinct civilizations and interdimensional portals etc. With Cenotaph Obscure, Obliteration cement their status as leaders in the Norwegian death metal scene, delivering a grizzly yet flawless monument to death metal the way it was meant to be; obscure, ominous and unpredictable." -Einar Sjurs° (Virus, Infern÷. Duplicate Records) "Obliteration is one of a handful of modern death metal bands that manage to strike a good balance between reverence for the old-school and the desire to carve their own path. But they also walk a tightrope between hooks and progression, and between aggression and atmosphere. This makes them one of the most compelling and important death metal bands making records today." -Decibel Magazine WA-39109149|Vinyl LP pressing. Scone Cash Players bring a star studded all star album to the listeners of the world with As the Screw Turns. Legend Naomi Shelton guests on a dynamic track about how the world could be, force of nature Jason Joshua appears on three of the most driving and poignant songs of the modern day, and the brilliant John Dokes delivers a holiday song that you will never forget. Adam Scone's idea for the album came together while traveling on the road with Sharon Jones and Sugarman 3 on the Daptone Soul Revue tour of Europe. Scone was on the bus with Charles Bradley and His Extraordinaires. Hearing Caito Sanchez on drums and Alex Chakour on guitar night after night for three weeks left a lasting impression. Mix that with the worlds most in demand horn section, Ian Hendrickson-Smith and Dave Guy from the Dap-Kings, The Roots and the Tonight Show. You have this album right here. When they put the screws on you, you have to dig deep. The Hammond organ gets into it here on this epic journey of dreams - love - loss - happiness - and hardships. They twist tight and turn, but we still have to believe. Hope for a better future. Make this world a better place. This is their heart on wax.

WA-39106803|Vinyl LP pressing. 2019 release. ThereÆs a timeless groove to the R&B of Yuna on her fourth album Rouge, one thatÆs been two years in the making. ItÆs the most ambitious project the songwriter has ever taken on, and the first album sheÆs putting out as a fully realized woman. ItÆs also an LP that she worked harder than ever on, re-visiting songs, editing them down, adding new layers, enriching every single moment to make it the most luscious musical experience for her audience.

Following seven albums, two platinum singles, countless TV and film syncs and millions of downloads and streams û all released independently on her own Cabin 24 Records û Mich"lson found herself at a bit of creative standstill, adrift and seeking inspiration. The pop singer-songwriter found it again in an unexpected place, the throwback sci-fi/horror drama Stranger Things. ôIÆve already made seven records, I have a lot to say. But IÆve said it so much from the brain and mind and soul of Ingrid Mich"lson - I wanted to create something through a different lens,ö shared the singer-songwriter. ôThereÆs something about Stranger Things thatÆs really comforting, it brings me back to my childhood. ItÆs the best kind of escapism and I find myself seeking that now more than ever. I took inspiration from the show and the characters and all these ideas started to come to me. Every song on the record includes a reference from the show, some more specific than others, but all of the themes are universal û these are feelings everyone has.ö WA-39110367|Vinyl LP pressing. The "... Live at Clouds Hill" series has been around for several years now. Everything started in 2011 with an improvised ôKrautrockö performance of extra class. Faust & Omar Rodriguez-Lopez. Jean-HervΘ Per≤n fell backwards with a running chainsaw and slit Rodriguez-Lopez' jeans and only with luck not his leg open. Since then, great bands like Nissennenmondai (JP), Bosnian Rainbows (US), Wargirl (US), Dillon (D), Kolars (US) or Peter Doherty (UK) have been guests and honoured the holy halls of Clouds Hill Studios with grandiose live performances. These performances in front of fans and friends are recorded on tape and mixed live. With the last played tone the recording is finished and can be cut on vinyl. Imperfection as a concept. As a carrier of emotions. And exactly such a magical evening fans and friends could experience with Le Butcherettes on March 25th in the Clouds Hill Studio. The band, founded in 2007 by Teri Gender Bender, captivates with a mixture of noisy songs which are always catchy enough to stay in the listener's head. How wild the live shows can be, the band showed during their gig in the Clouds Hill Studios. The special thing about Le Butcherettes is the deliberately used theatricality and the tendency to the big gesture, which gives the band its own special touch. Friends and fans of PJ Harvey, The Mars Volta and The Flaming Lips will love this limited release. An unforgettable evening that Johann Scheerer recorded on 24 track tape. WA-39109231|Limited clear colored vinyl LP pressing housed in a gatefold sleeve. Solstafir have come a long way from an obscure black metal band out of Reykjavik, Iceland to a musically mindboggling and unique mixture of dark metal, psychedelic passions and an eerily rocking groove û beloved and praised by critics and fans alike. This band's journey started in the year 1994 and continuously meandered into something that their many die hard adherents describe as æextremely cool' and ædifferent'. Solstafir's latest releases Masterpiece of Bitterness (2005) and K÷ld (2009) gained high acclaim from all sides. Now the quartet's burgeoning creativity has been bubbling up like a hot geyser unleashing their breathtaking double album Svartir Sandar, which takes the metamorphosis of these individualists close to perfection. This eagerly awaited masterpiece comes with a red hot passion like glowing magma and emotionality as stormy as the Northern Atlantic. Ride this volcano with Iceland's gnarled and twisted cowboys of rock and metal! WA-39109255|Vinyl LP pressing. Throughout, NACHTMYSTIUM once again demonstrate that a black metal band does not have to be just that. Doom rock, trance, traditional metal and even elements of pop are at play here and the inclusion of two additional musicians adds a delicious uncertainty to the live frenzy. Yes, this is clearly a band with brutal metallic power at its heart, but with an intelligence and huge elements of improvisation in its top-three inches to clearly distinguish themselves from the USBM pack. Whilst ultimately IÆd advise those new to the band to invest in the mesmeric æAssassinsÆ and the genre-bending æAddictsÆ albums over this, Live At Roadburn is a positive confirmation that there are few bands out there who can match NachtmystiumÆs ferocity and finesse. WA-39110404|Sophisticated musicianship, imaginative lyrics, and a flair for melody are signatures of the sound of Monkey House, a sound that has earned the group serious critical acclaim, peer respect, and a steadily expanding international following. Those characteristics are again evident on ''Friday'', on ALMA Records. It is the fifth full-length release from the L.A./Toronto combo that has just celebrated the notable milestone of 25 years of playing together. Adding to the comfort level in the studio for the recording of Friday was the return of the team of co-producer Peter Cardinali and engineer John 'Beetle' Bailey, reprising their roles from previous Monkey House records. Cardinali also plays bass on four tracks. All but two of the tracks on Friday are solo Don Breithaupt compositions. "Book Of Liars
