GORGUTS - Colored Sands · BLACK 2LP

Black Vinyl LP with insert, lined inner sleeve, and protective cover. More about 'Year Of The Cobra' "Year of the Cobra" marks the band's third studio album, asserting their sound with even greater precision than its predecessors. Emerging from Seattle's thriving music scene, Year of the Cobra has carved a niche by eschewing traditional guitar leads in favor of Amy Tung Barrysmith's bass-driven melodies. This release sees the duo honing their songcraft to perfection, blending heavy doom metal riffs with psychedelic sludge undertones. Amy's commanding vocals paired with Jon Barrysmith's dynamic drumming create a sonic landscape that's both haunting and hypnotic. From the pulsating rhythms of "Full Sails" to the introspective "The Darkness," this album is an evolution of their unique style, intertwining melancholic doom with vibrant rock elements. It stands as a testament to their growth, striking a balance between weighty themes and catchy hooks that linger long after the final note fades.

Black LP with printed inner sleeve and protective cover. More about 'Ruby Red' Throughout history, women have often borne heavier burdens during times of need. On their tenth album, "Ruby Red," the San Francisco-based quartet Amber Asylum poignantly reflects on turbulent times. The four musicians blend instrumental passages with evocative lyrics, merging laments and introspective sorrow with powerful songwriting that evokes both despair and hope. The album oscillates between dark themes such as pain, loss, empowerment, and mortality. Amber Asylum creates intense soundscapes that are both primal and introspective. "Ruby Red" consists of classical strings, bass, drums, percussion, modular synthesizers, and female voices. Musically, Amber Asylum balances driving neoclassical elements against the raw power of pounding basses and drums, which generate a strong rhythmic impact that contrasts excellently with the more contemplative strings on "Ruby Red." Bass and drums create a constant pulse that forms the foundation of the songs and adds intensity and depth to the album's darker moments. Founded by composer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist Kris Force in San Francisco in 1990, Amber Asylum has continuously reinvented itself musically over the years.

Black vinyl in gatefold sleeve. About the album Canada's long-running and much loved craftsmen of technical death metal are returning with a 33-minute song. Entitled 'Pleiades' Dust' this complex, image evoking, and masterly arranged eponymous track fills an entire EP. Expect the unexpected when it comes to GORGUTS. In an age of a postulated clash of cultures, mastermind Luc Lemay delivers a piece of music that is conceptually and lyrically based on the "House of Wisdom", a medieval library based in Baghdad and at the heart of the Golden Age of Islam with its many scientific breakthroughs in various fields of learning. As Luc comments: "It is a story about curiosity, beautiful minds and sadly, about how man destroys great discoveries and achievements." Artwork by Zbigniew M. Bielak.
