New Initiate up for PO from BBB: https://triplebrecords.net/products/initiate-cerebral-circus-pre-order

When did they confirm anything about any specific future re-issues besides UYHS? If anyone remembers or could dig that up that would be great! I went back to their initial welcome-to-Relapse IG post for Cave In and it features a mosaic of 16 titles, which also included stuff like the Shapeshifter tape and the Sacrifice Poles album. All or many of those might be available digitally via Relapse now, but of course that doesn't mean there will be a physical release. 

If I was a betting man (which I'm not, so don't take my word for any of this), I would put my money on Jupiter and Perfect Pitch Black for the next reissues, because that would reflect the development of the sound after UYHS (albeit with a big fat glaring omission between those two). I also wouldn't be surprised to see a completely new release in the mix, even just an EP. Heavy Pendulum must have been recorded almost two years ago and it seems like they've been on a roll since then as a band.

New Scott Vogel project Bad Blood follows up its demo w a Flatspot release, for all you one-sided 12" lovers:

Yeah my box also has a bit of a squished corner. Not bad enough to complain, but it's pretty annoying that they won't invest in better packaging materials for a $100 box set.

New Smoulder, epic doom from the great white north: https://smoulder.bandcamp.com/album/violent-creed-of-vengeance?from=fanpub_fnb

Cruz del Sur also has multiple variants including gold /100: https://www.cruzdelsurmusic.com/store/index.php?route=common/home

New Fluisteraars EP available for PO from Eisenwald along with reissues of all of their previous records (here's the US store link): https://store.eisenton.com/

If you've never heard them start with Dromers, it's a non-stop riff monster.

That's Robert J. Lobster to you, buddy.

Haha my bad, I meant Lob Rockster of course.

Two amazing nights, loved every minute of it. They sounded super tight and the venue and audience were great as well. I kinda wish they had played Rob Lobster and one or two older songs, but as it was the set list was extremely tight and had a great flow. As a kid I usually just saw them play shorter sets in front of 50 people or less and it's cool to see how much they've grown as musicians even though they haven't been a band in such a long time. It's a totally different experience.

That TP edition is very neat. Pricey, but tempting.

Love this record. Already have the OG pressings of F&C and the 7" (which should also still be relatively affordable), but highly recommend picking this up if you're at all into 90s emo and don't have it yet.

I missed out on past pressings and didn't want to pay secondary prices, so I was happy this popped up:

Also via BC.

Random question: Does the Showbox have a coat check? (I looked on their website and it doesn't say as far as I can tell.)

Very tempting, Contrarian are such great musicians. Love all the late-Death inspired dual guitar leads. 

Here's another solid new release for OSDM fans (originally out on tape two years ago): https://lifeafterdeath.bandcamp.com/album/insurrection-or-submission

If you go to the preorder page it works, the link from the email doesn’t add to your cart. 

Ah, that's where the problem was! That did it, thank you so much! (And also thanks to everyone else who offered solutions.)

Sign into your Relapse account. I was able to add any of them easily with not 504s or refreshing. Got the quad deluxe. 

Doesn't work for me.

Nothing works for me to get the /340. WTF.

Can't add to cart. Absolutely maddening.

Yeah this is pretty ridiculous. Can we just talk about how great Heavy Pendulum is instead? Listening rn for the first time in a few weeks and it just doesn't get old.

Second NY + NJ date added!

Another batch of the merge up on BC.

Damn no getting through at all.

Fuckin had that /500 in the cart and then the baby started to shit herself... Oh well

Man I feel you, I spent the last 15 minutes looking for a specific ball baby wanted to play with and here I am, shut out of a release I've been waiting for ever since the day they first announced it. Ugh.

NYC ticket secured.
