Skeletal Lightning

90% recorded, but 2 of the goofballs moved to Chicago and haven't finished up vocals =/

Sneak peek at the vinyl!

Emotion, ferocity, turmoil, and passion. These are just a handful of ingredients that push creative and artistic boundaries. When articulated just right, pure musical bliss can be achieved. But it's not often that you hear something new, and something exciting. Though, when it comes to bands like Innards and The Caution Children, each band has forged their way into new soundscapes while exploding minds around the world. The two have been around for over 5 years now, a feat that few in DIY have been able achieve over the years,, with the help of rigid touring and more than a handful of releases each. Now, Innards and The Caution Children join forces, taking a crack at covering each other's songs, while contributing a new track each to top it off. Limited to 400 copies on Lavender vinyl. Ships by Jan 15.

Hey CC'ers! Super stoked to share that we're teaming up with letters to catalonia to release their new demo on ltd. edition tape! Fans of Flesh Born and Ostraca take note. The tape is available for pre-order now, and is limited to 100 copies on black, housed in a black hand-numbered, hand-stamped envelope, including two inserts and a bookmark featuring art by the band. A stream of the demo is available on our site as well. Screeching dissonance, grooving darkness, and a fierce political edge in the vein of Welcome The Plague Year, June Paik, Louise Cyphre, Tristan Tzara, and One Eyed God Prophecy. The band will play their first show in January, and a tour w/ Ostraca in March to follow!

Hey folks! Skeletal Lightning here, independent specialist in all things emo, screamo, and rad as fuck. As you may or may not know, we've been pressing cassette releases for bands like Tiny Moving Parts, Life In Vacuum, Joliette, Estates, The Reptilian, Tawny Peaks, Kittyhawk, and way more since our inception nearly three years ago. All of our tapes are pro-dubbed for the best sound quality, with rad, often hand-numbered packaging and extra goodies as well. As more and more people flock to the word of tapes, we figure, why not offer a killer deal on even killer music AND give first dibs to our friends at VC (and I guess CC, now, too!) as this hasn't been posted anywhere but here, as of right now. Without further ado, we present to you the Cassette Tape Starter Pack: http://www.skeletallightning.net/products/556787-cassette-tape-starter-pack There's two options for the Cassette Tape Starter Pack- The Starter Pack consists of five Skeletal Lightning cassette tape releases for just $10 (yep, we're crazy! - that's a savings of over $10, or over 50% off regular price!) Are you a tape pro? Then this premium package deal might be for you: The All-Star Pack consists of a total of five Skeletal Lightning tape releases and distro tapes for just $20 (That's $8+ off regular price). In this pack, you'll find the more rare and highly sought after Skeletal Lightning tapes with expansive packaging, as well as distro tapes from bands and labels like Community Records, Broken World Media, Two Knights, Xerxes, Coaster and tons more! All selections are picked completely at random, with no duplicates and no duds! All packs are limit 1 per customer, and additional discounts do not apply to these already highly discounted packages. TL;DR - Tapes are awesome. You're awesome. You can buy 5 awesome tapes for just $10, or 5 of the raddest tapes we have for $20. Cheers!
