Robotic Empire is honored to announce the pre-order availability of the massive A STORM OF LIGHT / NADJA - Primitive North 2x12"+CD release! Two LPs, one CD (of the same tunes): two new STORM tracks, one lengthy NADJA opus and re-mixes of each bands material constructed by the other band. Add in some pretty fancy packaging and this is one mighty "split"! This is available now for pre-order in the Robotic Empire - Online Store. Here's our longwinded hyperbole: Every few years arises a collaboration that stands to test the myriad "split" releases that get haphazardly scrapped together. Primitive North is a shining example of what two strong bands can amass when their forces are joined together. Reaching well beyond their debut album, And We Wept the Black Ocean Within, A STORM OF LIGHT has entered intense uncharted territories. Fusing delicate melodies with oppressive dirge metal and dense atmospherics, STORM have truly come into their own with these two phenomenal tracks. Contagious, hypnotic and haunting... although no major surprise considering A STORM OF LIGHT is helmed by frontman Josh Graham, who cut his teeth as the visual artist for NEUROSIS and founding member of both RED SPAROWES and BATTLE OF MICE. The prolific duo of NADJA delivers one truly massive, 20+ minute epic of blissful genius. Their track consists of their patented molasses-thick wall of super-dense fuzz and surprisingly tuneful white noise spanning the spectrum of what NADJA is: a true behemoth of stark, glacial-paced sludge. Shapeshifting from a serene and uplifting aural setting to an absolutely soul-crushing Broadrick-esque industrial nightmare, NADJA is a beast of many faces. On Primitive North we get the best of both worlds, as volatile remixes also accompany these original works. Each band has reconfigured the other’s material, resulting in remixes that compliment the original songs well, and near-perfectly blend the two groups together. Adding to all of this is stunning original artwork by Graham, packaged in a beautiful 5-color gatefold sleeve with a CD version of the same material included inside with the double vinyl LPs. Last but not least, the flipside of the remix LP has laser-etched artwork, helping A STORM OF LIGHT and NADJA take the whole concept of a "split" release to the next level. * an A STORM OF LIGHT track from this can be previewed here * several NADJA tracks from other releases can be heard here Normally we don't do pre-orders, but we're making an exception with this one because it's arriving here very close to our move date. In order to ensure we can pack/ship these before the Online Store's cross-country move in early April, we're taking orders for this beast of a release NOW! We're supposed to get our copies of this on March 10th, and hope to have the bulk of the pre-orders shipped out just a few days later. Please note: any additional items you order along with this will be held and shipped along with your pre-order! Robotic Empire - Online Store And... why not: last week's update too, because it was a short one: Short and sweet: All large format vinyl (10", 11", 12", 2x12", etc) in the Robotic Empire - Online Store is at least $1.01 off until March 8th. Many many items are reduced significantly more, so please check out the site to see everything on sale. All CDs are in the same boat too (-$1.01 in price), so please pick something up if you can. We're gearing up for a major move and need to get as much stuff out of here as possible before relocating the Online Store to the other side of the country! For anyone who hasn't kept up with what's going on with us and the latest updates, it can be summed up pretty well here. Come March 15th we're gonna have to STOP shipping orders until the mailorder operation is re-established in Olympia, Washington. Orders will still be accepted after March 15th but will most likely take a month+ to ship out from the date you order. Please get your orders in now if you want your stuff in a timely manner, otherwise your patience will be appreciated while we haul all this stuff from one side of the country to the other in early April!

Major thumbs-down to the jerk who lives there giving us no help whatsoever! Anyway, we raised the price a couple bucks on those for the hell we had to go through to get them back. Get one now or forever hold your piece. Please consider picking something up from us if you can, and this "large vinyl" sale will end March 8th. Peace! Robotic Empire - Online Store

As we get closer and closer to the Robotic Empire - Online Store's cross-country move in early April, we've slowed down the amount of new items we bring in to make the whole move easier on us. However, to keep things busy for us we've decided to run some serious sales in our Online Store, and for the next week all "small vinyl" is $1.01 off. This means 5", 6", 7", 8" and 9" releases that we carry are all $1.01 off. **(please order more than one item if you're gonna get some of this stuff so we don't totally lose our asses)** In addition to this "small vinyl sale" we've also marked down all CD releases over $4.99 at least the same amount (sometimes more). This is resulting in a massive amount of items currently on sale in our Online Store and we'd appreciate it if you'll check it out and consider buying something to help lighten our move a bit! Come March 15th we're gonna have to STOP shipping orders until the mailorder operation is re-established in Olympia, Washington.

sounds like Neurot still has plans to do it, but its on my radar now. if they decide not to, we'd do it in a heartbeat. artwork has apparently been done for it for like 2 years or something insane.

did you just buy Chinese Stars stuff? if not, somebody else is stealing your thoughts

morning crew!
