I. WINDHAND IPA BEER RELEASED, NEW REPRESS OF “s\/t” LP<\/b><\/p>\n

This past week we put into motion a 4th pressing of Windhand’s critically acclaimed “s\/t” debut LP.\u00a0 The new pressing will feature 3 different color variants.\u00a0 Two limited runs of “Barbie” pink and lime green as well as a larger run of starburst black and purple.\u00a0 Paired with that, yesterday the band announced the release of their very own IPA courtesy of South County Brewing the same day as leaving for a 17 day jaunt of the Northeast and Midwest.\u00a0 Below we have the release circulating from Enabler PR.<\/p>\n

“In celebration of their US Tour, Windhand are pleased to announce that they will be releasing their own IPA with South County Brewing<\/a>. The band embark on their tour tomorrow and make their way along the East Coast and through the Midwest. Fans can expect to hear tracks from their previous releases as well as new material from their recently recorded debut on Relapse Records<\/a>, out this fall. For more information on the Windhand IPA, read a statement from the brewers and check out tour dates below.<\/p>\n

“Great beer and heavy music are a staple at South County Brewing. So, when we recently saw Windhand play here in Pennsylvania and discovered their affinity for great IPA’s, we knew a collaboration was in order. Naturally we have always wanted to create a rock solid IPA, so we chose to brew with our favorite Maris Otter Malt, Nugget and Millennium hops and a crisp yeast strain, making their beer a nearly sessionable IPA. The fruity citrus notes blend together in perfect harmony with this brew’s toasted malty sweetness, creating an experience any beer lover will appreciate, although we think it pairs perfectly with the hundreds of watts of detuned brilliance!” Asechiah, Windhand’s guitarist, did the artwork for the labels and the band will be having a keg of the beer on tap at their show at Strange Matter on June 22 with Inter Arma.<\/p>\n

Formed in 2009, Richmond, VA’s Windhand (Asechiah Bogdan – Guitar, Parker Chandler – Bass, Dorthia Cottrell – Vocals, Garrett Morris – Guitar, and Ryan Wolfe – Drums) play what has been described as a tinnitus inducing mix of eerie psychedelia and haunting ambient doom. 2012 saw the release of their critically acclaimed, self-titled LP via Forcefield Records. A subsequent heavy dose of East Coast touring followed, culminating with a four week U.S tour in August of that year. The response from the press and fans alike has been immense. Cvlt Nation’s review insists, “Windhand are way more than a band you should be on the look out for, they are a group of humans that will change the way you hear doom.” While Decibel Magazine said, “For the most part, Sabbathian doom bands stand out by only writing great songs because sonically it’s damn near impossible to separate yourself from the overcrowded genre. But there is something about Richmond’s Windhand that makes them even more drugged out and exceptional… it’s massive, addictive destruction. Yeah, these fuckers are gonna be huge.””<\/p>\n

II. GRIME “Deteriorate” LP UPDATE, PRE-ORDERS UP<\/b><\/p>\n

Well we are finally in the home stretch for the release of Grime’s long awaited debut full length “Deteriorate”.\u00a0 The bad part is the record has hit a few snags along the way pushing it off of its scheduled release of June 11th but all that is in the review mirror now.\u00a0 We are looking at a new ship date of the last week of June for pre-orders and a stock date with Revolver<\/a> of July 9th.\u00a0 The record will come in two different color variants on 180 gram vinyl encased with black dust sleeves and full color jackets with a poster and download card.\u00a0 The limited run is oxygen rich blood haze of oxblood red and grimace purple and a larger run of grey and red haze.\u00a0 The CD version will be handled by our UK brothers in heavy Mordgrimm Records<\/a>.\u00a0 We will also be running a limited pre-order package that includes a t-shirt.\u00a0 The record has been gaining great praise for it’s concentrated dirty misanthropic sludge, below is a great video from their set at Heavy Days in Doomtown<\/a> as well a link to a bunch of reviews for “Deteriorate”.\u00a0\u00a0 On Wednesday June 12th we will be streaming the album in its entirety, courtesy of the Obelisk<\/a>!<\/p>\n
