Version:1.0 StartHTML:0000000196 EndHTML:0000014914 StartFragment:0000002979 EndFragment:0000014878 SourceURL:file://localhost/Users/lindsayfalcone/Desktop/sac%20poles%20update%20BBCODE.doc We are thrilled to announce the availability of CAVE IN's elusive mid-period album The Sacrifice Poles, which Robodog Records originally released on CD back in 2001. Comprised entirely of instrumental 4-track recordings from 1998-2000, The Sacrifice Poles sees CAVE IN heavily experimenting during writing blocks between Until Your Heart Stops and Jupiter. Largely unlike either release due to the creative process, the album remains unmistakably "Cave In" and is a surprising window into one of rock music's most amazing transitions. Aside from "Brain Candle Waltz", all material has stayed exclusive to this release and we are thrilled to finally present it on vinyl, over 13 years later. Aaron Turner's stark original artwork and layout has been meticulously re-created from archived artist proofs, for a 5-color silkscreened LP jacket printed by brethren at Broken Press. All audio for both vinyl and digital formats has been separately remastered by James Plotkin in 2014 for a warmer, fuller sound. Pressed in an edition of 500 copies, 300 were made on translucent blue vinyl and 200 on black vinyl. All LP copies include a high quality digital download. This officially drops on May 27th but we're too damn stoked and have put up our mailorder copies now! iTunes and other digital services will have this on the 27th as well. * Order CAVE IN's The Sacrifice Poles LP now at the Robotic Empire - Online Store * Pre-order the digital version of CAVE IN's The Sacrifice Poles via iTunes or our Bandcamp Beyond that awesome release, we have acquired a gnarly plethora of new vinyl and cassettes for the Robotic Empire - Online Store, including a bunch of rad tunes from former Robo alumni. On the new release tip we've got new stuff from THE BODY, CULT LEADER (3/4ths of powerhouse GAZA), DECADES/FAILURES (Adam from STOP IT!!'s excellent dark solo material), DOC's killer 12" (with MAGRUDERGRIND drummer Chris Moore), DOOMRIDERS bringing the thunder, two MOUNTAINS LPs, a new self-released NADJA 7" seeing them in a new aggressive light, plenty of THOU vinyl as their prolific roar rolls on, TOUCHE AMORE's new one for all the sad souls and way more. As for restocks, it's much of the same plus the two latest long players from CONVERGE, GRAILS self-released reissues of their two first LPs (first released by Robo/Neurot), LITURGY's polarizing Aesthetica 2LP, an expanded TRAP THEM LP and a trifecta of double-LPs from YEAR OF NO LIGHT.

"[The] Sacrifice is their newest EP, arriving on the heels of most recent full-length Heathen, and containing five songs that were recorded during the same session. It’s a condensed collection that at times feels as effortlessly honed as the accompanying full-length..."

Wow so Record Store Day was awesome! Lots of folks picked up the Nirvana tribute LP - and of course, inevitably, copies are now showing up on ebay as well. No major surprise there, but the volume and silly prices the release is commanding have initiated a bump up in the need for mailorder copies ASAP. We've been given the green-light to go ahead and sell the standard version, so black vinyl and yellow vinyl versions are now available to mailorder. * Various Artists - "In Utero, In Tribute, In Entirety" vinyl LP in the Robotic Empire - Online Store All copies of this release include a high-quality digital download, and please note, the standard edition does not include the large poster found in the Record Store Day version. Beyond that, the release is now available digitally as well via iTunes, Spotify and Bandcamp. So there we are. This release is officially out there, the reception has been amazing and we're so happy to have our 100th release finally wrapped up almost exactly 15 years since this crazy label started! Robo 001 dropped on April 22nd, 1999 - it has been an very unexpected and wild ride, thank you to each and every person who has ever taken interest in one of our releases. Much love!!

We're aiming for Saturday on posting the standard version

I just went berzerko on Instagram looking at people's copies from today and didn't see 1 black copy...

Sounds like some standard edition copies must've got mixed in! First I've heard of it. Sorry hoss.

Wow really ? ^ did it have a sticker on the jacket too?

WE OUT THERE Record Store Day editions are rollin, get into ya brick n' mortar peoples! If you prefer the digital nerdery, the digital download is live NOW via iTunes or Bandcamp: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/in-utero-in-tribute/id825844196 http://roboticempire.bandcamp.com/album/various-artists-in-utero-in-tribute-in-entirety

^ that's a bit dickish No plans for RSD editions available online, should be a store-only thing. We will have a standard edition available after RSD, though it doesn't include the poster and won't be on maroon vinyl.

It really exists!

We are pumped to announce that a 4k milestone has been reached, and we're going to repress TILTS debut album "Tilts" on vinyl!! This is awesome, as their first album was the catalyst for us working together, and we're stoked to announce that for $10 this can now be added to any future or existing pledge! Basically, as a Kickstarter-only rate, we'll be making the first TILTS album available on the cheap - and the vinyl LP includes a digital download card so it's a boss-level deal. If you've already pledged: new reward tiers have been added, so you can fang in another $10 to upgrade to the next tier if you wanna also grab LP #1. If you haven't pledged yet, the new reward tiers are now available so feel free to go after both. Really blown away with the positive support this has gotten, and we're gonna keep chugging along over the following weeks. IF we manage to keep this rolling and hit the 5k mark, the band's given the thumbs-up to another new song being posted... So please help spread the word and thanks again to everyone who's contributed thus far! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/roboticempire/tilts-second-album-release-on-vinyl-digital-and-wa
