New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / new Deathbomb: sword heaven, gang wizard, cruel face, more!

« on: April 25, 2007, 02:06:46 PM »

Ok, some things just can't wait! I've been holding off announcing these two new releases until the Fruit Will Rot vol 3 box set is done, but it looks like that could take a little more time, so here you go!

various artists
Deathbomb Presents Video - dvd-r
US/Canada: $8.00 / WORLD: $15.00
http://deathbombarc.com/releases/dba015.htm
youtube sample: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJSvACnXjYg
=================================================================
How many shows have gone done over the past few years here in LA that
basically no one got to see? Shows that changed lives for everyone
there... except only 5 people were there. Fortunately, some such shows
were captured on video. So here is the first installment of hopefully
endless DVD-r comps to share these precious gems with the world.
Footage like Sword Heaven's Los Angeles debut playing in Michael's
Grandmother's backyard at 6:30 in the evening on a Tue, scaring the
life out of all the neighbors. From Gang Wizard performing one of their most alien sets ever to Cruel Face (formally Rainbow Blanket) playing at a wedding reception. There is footage of Toxic Loincloth (member of Deep Jew/Men Who Can't Love/Rose For Bohdan) being a total badass in his noise-thong, as well as a video of Newton showing off how graceful of a dancer he is, while performing an Ace of Base song. Not limited to LA live shows, the comp also includes a Rose For Bohdan (aka Rx Fxr Bx) video from their only-noise era circa 1999, and Russian Tsarcasm (member of Dynasty / Byron House) proving what a pimp he is.
Includes full color art by Cybell of Blue Shift/Mercy Light




dba076
various artists
World War Zero - 2xCDr
US/Canada: $10.00 / WORLD: $16.00
http://deathbombarc.com/releases/dba076.htm
==========================================================
Whatever you think is going on in Southern California, be prepared to
find out you are both completely right and wrong. This double CDr
brings together a wide sampling of So Cal acts, designed to show people just how diverse DIY is here. More than just the normal "Smell" bands, more than just acts from Los Angeles and San Diego.. but small towns, inland empire towns, OC towns, who-the-fuck-knows-towns, bands that play in places no one has heard of or perhaps nowhere at all. Currated with the help of Britt & Amanda of Not Not Fun, this comp is your passport to something beyond the underground, it is your census report
for 2007. Get in on it.
BANDS featured:
Minus Radio
The Tleilaxu Music Machine
Apathetic Ronald McDonald
Birthday Indian
Cock In Black (members of Deep Jew, Laco$te, Smooth Grooves)
The Stomach Aches
Moment Trigger
Rollin Hunt
Satans Corpse
Tik///Tik
A++ (member of Foot Village)
Swimsuit Rights
Bow+Arrow
Oh Home
Lord Galvar
God's Gang
Israel Intelligence
Naomi
Ex-Oblivion
Powdered Wigs (member of Extreme Animals)

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / new HATE STATE releases

« on: April 17, 2007, 11:05:52 AM »

2 new ones out today on Hate State (label run by eva of Kevin Shields), plus pre-order now available for
the mammoth 6 cassette wall-noise comp, None Shadow. Paypal, images,
etc at http://hatestate.info
new releases:

HS009
LOVE LETTERS
Santeria c-32
US $6, World $10
===============================================================
Not only about santeria, but also recorded
in the same geography where these chaotic, culture clashing
magics are soaked into the land. Although you
can hear these sounds, their true voice can
only be heard by the dead.


HS012
MOMENT TRIGGER
Poluted Wave 3" cdr
US $6, World $10
================================================================
Moment Trigger put on one of the most
exciting live shows of any noise act in LA.
The physical struggle that occurs between this
woman and man does not result in destruction, but
rather shows a vigor and love for high energy sounds
that cannot be contained by cooperation. Equipment
is fought over as if every piece of gear is the holy grail.
This passion creates a sound with so much
movement that you may get sea sick listening to it.


pre-order:

HS011
various artists
NONE SHADOW 6x c-30
US $50, World $60
=================================================================
Wall is not just about pushing the limits of saturation, the limits of how
infinitely large something can sound. Wall is also about the infinitely small.
The nuance that exists between every detail of every crackle. So deep
is every crevice that even the shortest moment could fit the entire
whole into it. None Shadow features 6 artists (Taskmaster, Privy
Seals, Kakerlak,
Filthy Turd, Cherry point, & the Rita) creating walls that push the
possibilities
far beyond purity. This is the ineffable sound of course.
Packaged in a handmade rug with analogous infinite-crevice imagery.

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / NEW releases on Deathbomb Arc (Sword Heaven, G. Wizard, Rainbow Blanket, etc)

« on: February 27, 2007, 10:11:03 AM »

2 new releases, and 2 re-releases out TODAY on Deathbomb Arc. Please read below. Questions? dbombarc@deathbombarc.com

DBA044 - NEW
various artists

Pisspounder . 3x 12"LP
$20 US & Canada / $35 World
http://deathbombarc.com/releases/dba044.htm
==================================================
Triple LP set featuring Rainbow Blanket, Sword Heaven, Aa, Foot Village, Grey Skull, & Dreamhouse. Each band gets a full LP side to demolish with their unique take on using drums in a noise/experimental setting. From the beyond hammering sparks of Sword Heaven to the smooth protests of Aa, from Foot Village's unique drums-only approach to hardcore to Grey Skull's beyond slurpin' purple slow down that would make sun-oops turn the lights out and just go to bed, from Dreamhouse's brittle clattering that miraculously melts into anthem pop to Rainbow Blanket's transcendent finale, that will make you rethink everything you know about sound.

DBA077 - NEW
Gang Wizard

The Atlas of Cancer . 12" LP
$10 US & Canada / $16 World
http://deathbombarc.com/releases/dba077.htm
================================================
Ten years of Gang Wizard has seen the band/collective take on many forms. For the US and European tours in support of their album on Load, Byzantine Headache, Gang Wizard locked down their lineup, cast off their "fight club the band" cocoon, and emerged as an angelic force, delivering a unique thrash-bliss sound to the world. Sparkeling synths and homemade glitter electronics are combined with whirlwind drums, screaming vocals, and aluminum spring guitars. A fantasy of blindness cycling through your lungs. Features members of Dynasty, Yuma Nora, Foot Village, Kevin Shields, Unicorn Hard-On, and Mike Landucci himself.
co-release w/ Accidie & Gilgongo

DBA036 - NOW ON DVD-r!!!
Captain Ahab & Rose For Bohdan
No More Hot Carls . DVD-r
$8 US & Canada / $14 World
http://deathbombarc.com/releases/dba036.htm
==================================================
In Sept of 2003, Rose For Bohdan set forth with Captain Ahab to explore everything west of the Mississippi. Th is DIY edited, 50 min tour film documents the good, bad, the strange, and the miraculous. Featuring both complete songs and edited portions, this dvd-r is both for those that want to SEE IT ALL, and those that want something more filmic.
BTW, there is so much dancing in this film, you may need to wear sneakers to watch it. And, of course, watch out for hot carls.

DBA049 - BACK IN STOCK
Gang Wizard
Why Is There A God? . 12" LP
$10 US & Canada / $16 World
http://deathbombarc.com/releases/dba049.htm
=================================================
Released at the height of Gang Wizard's "the is no such thing as music any more" / complete nhilist phase, this follow-up to the Jeckyl Loves Hyde LP on Ecstatic Peace was completely panned by critics for not sounding like mystical stoney-baloney. Combining a distinct love for 80's college rock ala REM and ribcage crushing Harry Pussy sludge, Gang Wizard was walking in a land that perhaps no one has ever been to even since. This album remains one of Gang Wizard's best kept secrets, don't pass it up now that you have a 2nd chance!
co-release with Father Yod, SNSE, Breaking World Records, & many more!

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / Brian Miller & Kevin Shields / Pump Kinn & Don split 12"

« on: January 10, 2007, 12:55:04 PM »

Virgin Passwords
which is a split 12" between Brian Miller & Kevin Shields / Pump Kinn & Don

is out NOW on Weird Forest http://weirdforest.com/




Recorded at the end of nearly 9 months of touring, Virgin Passwords
reflects a long evolution in sound and concept for Brian Miller &
Kevin Shields. A combination of mechanical grindings and digital
sweeps, mortal shovings and sudden transportations
into secret chambers hold the secrets of the Virgins themselves. The
Virgins that control
the universe. The mafia of the cosmos. Beyond the cliched metaphor of
purity and straight to literally not having sex at all. Because a Brian Miller
& Kevin Shields performances prooves that a noise show can be
(hyper)active, crowd engaging, and knock everything to the floor
 without invoking angst and self loathing. In other words, without hate-fucking
everyone. Virgins.
