Thanks for spreading the word guys!

Preorders for the Vestiges / Panopticon Split LP and The Descent Of Man DLP/2CD/2CS have been posted on our website at http://www.replenishrecords.com
 
 
RR10 Vestiges / Panopticon Split

 
"A new split LP from two of the best bands in extreme music today - Washington D.C.'s Vestiges and Kentucky's one-man band Panopticon. Two tracks from Vestiges, and three from Panopticon, all of which represent some of each band's strongest output to date. Tracks "VII" and "VIII" are the latest in Vestiges ongoing narrative centered around the relationship between man and nature. These tracks are definitely the darkest and strongest in their already powerful discography. Absolutely mind-blowing. The Panopticon tracks are also very impressive, and are some of the most beautiful and captivating material that Austin has released. "A Letter" and "The Eulogy" sound heavily influenced by post-rock, and have a similar vibe to the songs on the recent split with Wheels Within Wheels. Soaked in atmosphere, melancholy, and decidedly poignant. The third Panopticon track is a very dark and emotional cover of Suicide Nation - the punk/metal band from Tempe, Arizona that broke up in the early 2000's - called "Collapse and Die." If you're familiar with the original, you'll know that this is really terrific; it pays homage to the original while bringing its own fury and meaning."  http://www.hammersmashedsound.com
 
Mastered by Colin Marston (Altar of Plagues, Krallice, Rosetta), the split has been one of the most anticipated records of the past year and is now available through Replenish Records on both black wax (limited to 600) and transparent blue/black splatter wax (limited to 300 and exclusive to our label) housed in a gatefold jacket. Please note that preorders for this item will ship in two to four weeks. For more information about the bands, please visit http://www.facebook.com/wearevestiges and http://www.facebook.com/thetruepanopticon and be sure to download the split for free in its entirety at http://replenishrecords.bandcamp.com
 
 
RR01 Vestiges - The Descent Of Man (Repress)

 
"The DIY ethic has long been a tremendous ideal that has always appealed to my often times ridiculous sensibilities, but what can I say besides that there is just something to a band putting their blood sweat and tears into a project from the first inkling of inspiration to breaking open that box of records from the record plant; the whole project seems more genuine or more “real” if you will, and not that all bands who do release records themselves are always doing it with DIY intentions more like a simple necessity. When the download for The Descent Of Man first started making the rounds on the world wide internet at the end of 2010, I immediately took notice of Vestiges due to the mammoth blast of devastating sound that the band conjures from their instruments and the brute force of the vocals that come screaming from my speakers. Ambitious, epic, grand, are all adjectives that one could use when describing The Descent Of Man, and those would certainly not be hyperbolic fodder given by an over fawning critic; instead, though, I would be more apt to say that Vestiges seemingly lay down a challenging record full of bombast (check out the opening two minutes of “I” for a perfect example and the explosive “V” for another great example) that is a dynamic roller coaster ride that hits on all of the touchstones that this emerging style. This is certainly a polished effort as the band seamlessly transitions from song to song without batting an eyelash (something some bands never quite master) while still making each track a unique piece of music and the melodic aspects of the music fit perfectly with the crunch of the guitars and the pounding of the drums (the relentless drumming in “II” is awesome, so go there to hear what I am saying). So many great records have been self released in the last few years, and, partially, this trend has something to do with how most record labels actually are clueless on how to operate in the age of digital file sharing, while the ones that do get it are overwhelmed with releases as it is; on the other hand, some artists do generally want to release records themselves, and I have personally benefited from these situations by hearing great music and seeing amazing packaging. The Descent Of Man from Vestiges is no exception and there are still copies of this release available if you do take the plunge and up immersing yourself in the record as much as I have (this honestly sounds awesome on a turntable), so do yourself the favor of checking this beast out or sleep on it and forever hate yourself for it."  http://www.scenepointblank.com
 
Remastered by Mell Dettmer (Alda, Sunn, Thou, Wolves In The Throne Room), the album has also been carefully reamped and remixed to reproduce the crushing atmosphere of the band's live performance. The Descent Of Man has been sold out and nowhere to be found for close to a year, but is now available through Replenish Records on both black wax (limited to 400) and bone wax (limited to 100 with a screenprinted D-Side) housed in a custom gatefold jacket. The album is also available on a Digipak 2CD (limited to 500) and an Amaray 2CS (limited to 250), which also features tracks from the band's first series of splits including VI, VII, VIII, and Zombie. Please note that preorders for this item will ship in four to six weeks. For more information, please visit http://www.wearevestiges.com and http://www.facebook.com/wearevestiges and be sure to download the album for free in its entirety at http://replenishrecords.bandcamp.com

The Encircling Sea A Forgotten Land DLPs just shipped from the pressing plant, so all preorders will be sent out next weekend at the latest! We just received the Milanku Pris À La Gorge DLPs, which look and sound amazing, so be sure to get your hands on one of the last few copies of these records while they are still available on our website at http://www.replenishrecords.com

Awesome, thanks man!

We're currently waiting on the engineer responsible for mastering the split to get back from tour and send us the tracks, which will be in the next week or two, so we should have everything sent to the plant shortly after and preorders posted around mid-April. I seriously cannot wait!

Check out the ThisIsNotAScene interview with Rob from Encircling Sea and their review of the album below!

Check out the Bande À Part Sessions with Milanku performing songs from Pris À La Gorge!
http://www.bandeapart.fm/#/page/les-sessions-bande-a-part-milanku-direct-au-coeur

Check out some of the first reviews that are starting to roll in...

On Pris À La Gorge, Quebec act Milanku craft extremely solid post-metal-type post-rock, with a couple moments during this nearly hour-long affair that elevate them from just "bon" to "très bon."  These guys remind me of a heavier Envy, because they're essentially shouting a foreign language over a dark downbeat.  It's nonetheless awesome at times.  Opener "La Chute" is a great example summing up what the band does so well: roll along at a slower tempo with moody, atmospheric rhythms that give way into harsh, growled, crushing juggernauts that warrant comparisons to Isis or Cult of Luna.

Encircling Sea are Melbourne-based four-piece who play a progressive, eclectic style of black metal incorporating elements of post-metal, noise, ambiance  and, surprisingly enough, folk. Its members have previously lent their talents to the likes of Clagg, The Abandonment, In Trenches and Whitehorse among others.  With A Forgotten Land, Encircling Sea manage to tread the valleys between punishing heaviness, meditative calm and ethereal transcendence. This is a sonic journey filled with emotional depth and progressive instrumentation – an exceedingly ambitious concept, but flawlessly executed. Consider me blown away.  Essential for fans of Deafheaven, Year of No Light, Alcest and anyone interested in intelligent, progressive, heavy music. Do yourselves a favour and check it out.
