So bummed I can't afford records at the moment with this new panopticon and all the stuff from last year I still "need" *sigh*

Anyone know what is up with the Fallen Empire store? Just a white page with words.

 

EDIT: Still don't know what's up with the FE site, but there's more copies up on Bandcamp, so all good.

one of my favorite albums to come out over the last couple years is the s/t record by RÛR.

 

awesome atmospheric BM outta Norway. epic and catchy. love it so much. 

I thought this was quite good.  I don't really like to buy digital music, but it being under $2 made it a bit of a no-brainer.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned Zhrine yet, but I'm really enjoying Unortheta. The album, as a whole, has a lot of different dynamics going on, so it's a solid listen. There are a bunch of variants out there and most are limited to 200 or less. Scored a red /125 for $30, which seemed fair. They are from the land of Sigur Ros. Bummed I missed their tour.

For gilead subscribers did you all get your yellow eyes and pyrolatrous yet? Their fb post said they were mailing out about 3 weeks ago. 

If you are a subscriber then you got your YE test/tour press months ago. Pyrolatrous is going to ship with the Krallice records.

New Leviathan is up for PO:
 

https://leviathanwrest.bandcamp.com/

 

Is there any interview with him where he addresses the accusations and his conviction for domestic abuse. There were some terrible allegations that got dropped, but I'm just wondering what his side of the story is. I just don't want to throw my money out there and find out he is a real piece of crap. I've already had to destroy all of my Young and in the Way records and shirts.

 

Edit: I found this interview, but it doesn't say much about his version of the story. https://pitchfork.com/features/show-no-mercy/8660-show-no-mercy/

I'm trying to remember. Nearly all of it, at least the truly horrible parts were dropped. I want to say that he did cop to something. Maybe he talked about it in the decibel interview?

 

I'm editing this since he was convicted of aggravated domestic battery. I am not suggesting that is anything less than horrible.

Yeah, it's seems a bad look to release an album titled True Traitor, True Whore, right after a domestic assault conviction. Whatever, I'm not gonna judge someone for buying his stuff, but there is so damn much music out there that I can be choosier about where my money goes. I know that no one is a saint and that many people I do support probably have done shitty things in their lives.

In the interviews I've seen he has either just said he is completely innocent, or declines to comment...which I can completely understand...

He was up for basically the rest of his life in Prison and ended up getting probation...

 

According to Profound Lore label owner and operator Chris Bruni, even that is too much.

“He never assaulted her whatsoever and even the domestic he got charged with is false,” Bruni tells Stereogum. “It’s bullshit.”

 

I understand why you may choose not to support him, but does that mean you would no longer buy Profound Lore releases based on the above comments?

 

Its hard to know what to believe with this situation, Its a little more personal and different to the YAITW thing where there are multiple victims describing similar things.
