roboticempire Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 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!

roboticempire Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 All orders by or on March 15th 100% will ship before the move! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboticempire Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 3 days left before we stop processing new orders, so get those orders in within the next 3 days if you want them to ship before our move in early April! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboticempire Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 Apologies for the blitzkrieg of recent updates, but there's just 3 days left before the Robotic Empire - Online Store will stop processing new orders... as the time is very near for us to break down all the shelves, pack up all the boxes and move this whole mailorder operation to the other side of the country. We're not leaving until early April, so there is still plenty of time to pull, pack and ship all orders received by/on March 15th. This also includes all orders for the brand new A STORM OF LIGHT / NADJA - Primitive North split 2x12"+CD that we finally just got in today! This beast of a release turned out simply incredible and we're really happy to have a new release available after months of slow label activity, especially one of this caliber. What also rules is that A STORM OF LIGHT will be touring across Europe in early April. Upon their return to the states they hit most of eastern-North America in May with the killer blackmetal bands WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM and KRALLICE! Tour dates for STORM and a song from the split can be found here. NADJA's own European tour dates can be found here. We've also received a small amount of straggling, last-minute items that really are getting here just in the nick of time. If you want anything from our Online Store, please get those orders in within the next 3 days, so we can ship it out before our move in early April! We will still be accepting orders during the move, but any orders that come in after March 15th will most likely take at least a month to ship to you. So please get those orders in now if you want anything with the quickness! NEW ITEMS: * A Storm Of Light / Nadja - Primitive North (split) - BLOOD MOON COLORED VINYL 2x12"+CD (Robotic Empire) - $21.99 * A Storm Of Light / Nadja - Primitive North (split) - GLACIER COLORED VINYL 2x12"+CD (Robotic Empire) - $21.99 * Frodus - Conglomerate International 2x12" (Gilead Media) - $18.99 * Planks - Self-Titled 12" (Nar Shardaa) - $13.99 * Shokei - Painkiller 12" (Nar Shardaa) - $13.99 * Thou - The Retaliation of the Immutable Force of Nature - WHITE COLORED VINYL 12" (Gilead Media) - $9.99 RESTOCKS: * Nebula - Atomic Ritual CD (Liquor and Poker) - $7.99 * Saddest Landscape, The - The Sound of the Spectacle - BLUE COLORED VINYL 12" (Nar Shardaa) - $13.99 And last (but certainly not least) there is still a MASSIVE site-wide sale right now where every music item in our Online Store that's over $4.99 is marked at least $1.01 off. This includes all CDs, vinyl, DVDs and cassettes... and many, many items are marked down significantly more as well. We're trying to get as much stuff out of here as possible before the move so please check out the site for a crazyinsane amount of discounted items! This sale ends in just a few days, with March 15th being both the last day this sale is active and the last day we're accepting orders to ship prior to the move! Thank you!
