Definitely a new press, the bonus tracks weren't on the OG.
Still funny that The Heretic Anthem is a bonus track for this when it wasn't even "Periphery" that recorded it
-
I still don't get why they put up the vinyl preorders so late, especially since they'll be delayed already
-
There's definitely a headlining tour happening, don't know if it's Exoplanet or not.
-
Weird............
-
The vinyl always shows up way later than the rest of the preorders for some reason.
Of course it probably won't ship until June to top it off
-
They're definitely friends, as John & Pete have filled in for Mastodon before when Bill was in the hospital.
Baroness was also one of the openers on that tour.

Cheaped out on the jacket and the download.
-
Almost everything about the production could be better. Nearly the entire thing is brickwalled, just barely below the point of clipping.

The download that comes with it is 160kbps.
Worthless.

k.
Even though the last "song" is a complete waste of time.

I saw them over the weekend and they played the first song off their new album called Morningstar. Had a Mastodon feel with the heavy/complex riff in it but I liked it.
What did they have merch wise?

Dat black on clear

I'll be interested to see how quickly these sell. I mean, it's 4 albums and a TON of extra stuff for somewhere around 800 Euros shipped. It really is quite a feat, what he's pulled off in this set, but are people willing to pay?
According to facebook, yes
-
infinite versions of Surgical Steel
-
The red/black one
-
Album is $30 at shows FYI
-
I'll see how much the vinyl is at their show next Monday then make a decision.
-
Looks like the red/black marble is what they're going to have on tour, and "most retailers" should have it too.

Here's the scoop with Woum. I'll make it available for download on Wednesday, because that's the day that I arbitrarily picked for it to be available on all the streaming services and iTunes and everything. It's 7 tracks, roughly 25 minutes which puts it in the "The Map is Not the Territory" and "Let Yourself Be Huge" ballpark.
This will no doubt be a bummer for some but Woum and conceivably any future releases will go back to being digital only like everything was pre-Beacons. Sorry, I know how much people dig the physical releases. But I feel like I have a pretty good reason: Making vinyl is a tremendous pain in the ass. For lots of reasons, not the least of which is the 3-4 month lead time on production that always feels like an incredible drag on momentum.
I will for sure be losing out on money by doing this, and oh well. The time I'll have back by not dealing with the production and distribution of these things will more than make up for it to me. I've been feeling a little squeezed by the entire merch process recently, and by simplifying things in this way I'll have more time to actually make music, which I'm excited about. Life has gotten busier in the past year and it doesn't look like it will slow down any time soon, so this is a way for me to keep things balanced.
Woum is a nice culmination of the past 10 years of making music on my own, and I feel like it reconnected me to the thing that got me into this in the first place: That making music is really fun because you can do whatever you want.
Anyway, a very sincere thanks to everyone that has helped me get to this point and I hope we can keep it going for a while. Have a nice day and feel free to ask questions in the comments.

I was emailing Ben because I had an error with my Subsume vinyl shipment and I casually mentioned new vinyl for Woum and he said that he's releasing this as a digital album only. Not sure if he just said that so I quite bugging him haha.
Well this thread might be a wrap.
