Hey all,
In case you missed it, here's the first release of what looks like a busy first 6 months of 2014!!
Bismuth / Undersmile split lp
Amp worship meets agonizing doom. An amazing split release between two of UK’s heavyweights in doom and sludge.

This is what Terrorizer had to say:
[Bismuth] It’s a frightening procession of ominous, snail paced riffs and almost unbearably tense percussive splashes, backed by an arsenal of amps, cavernous bass frequencies and some truly spine chilling vocals.
[Undersmile] provide a sultry, slow burning voyage that unfolds with a dark, brooding elegance, and manages to remain enthralling throughout. At a hefty 23 minutes, ‘Titanboa’ is not only the quartet’s longest piece to date, but arguably their most accomplished and hypnotic too. If you found yourself ensnared in the daunting depths of their debut full-length ‘Narwhal’ last year, then this monolithic offering is going to envelope you like quicksand.
This split (featuring stunning artwork courtesy of artist Tony Roberts) represents two of the UK doom underground’s most promising acts, so if you’ve any interest in all things low, slow and heavy as hell, then this release is essential listening…
And No Clean Singing
[Bismuth] a 17-minute work entitled “Collapse”, and there could hardly be a better title for it — except this is not so much the sound of existence falling apart as it is the sound of existence being slowly dismantled in a titanic demolition project.
[Undersmile] Listening to “Titanaboa” is variously like being carried away in slow, heaving ocean swells, gradually being sucked down into a pit of congealing tar, or hallucinating while the blood in your veins hardens and your oxygen supply is cut off, bit by bit.
So yeah, all the pre orders have been shipped and the record should be with the bands and other fine distributors soon as well. Go get it!
