silentgods Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Finally! The long-awaited vinyl version of “God Luck and Good Speed”, Weedeater’s masterpiece of whiskey and weed-soaked doom, is available to order. Fronted by famed madman and bass virtuoso "Dixie" Dave Collins, this three-piece juggernaut has been eating audiences alive for more than 10 years now. After two critically acclaimed full length releases recorded by Billy Anderson (Neurosis, Melvins, High On Fire, etc.) and released respectively on Berserker and Crucial Blast Records, "God Luck And Good Speed" was Weedeater’s debut full-length for Southern Lord Recordings. All but one of the songs on the album were recorded and produced by the legendary Steve Albini (Neurosis, High On Fire, Nirvana, etc.) at Electrical Audio studios in Chicago. The remaining track, "Alone", was recorded by Mike Dean (Corrosion of Conformity) and simply consists of an acoustic bass track, a banjo track, and vocally some of Dixie's best somber and sub-baritone rasping. The mastering was executed by John Golden (Neurosis, Melvins, Pelican, etc.) and the finished product is nothing short of amazing. The sound is gigantic and both the production and recording skillfully capture the intense experience of a Weedeater show while achieving tones that will swallow you whole. Weedeater fans have been waiting for this a long time and they won’t be disappointed. The vinyl is limited to 1500 copies and comes pressed on 180 gram heavy vinyl, with deluxe gatefold packaging. All hail the reverends of WEEDMETAL! Mailorder customers receive gold vinyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentgods Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 Monoliths? SUNN O))) release details for “Monoliths & Dimensions” —– SUNN O))) is proud to present their 7th studio album, after 10 years of existence, entitled Monoliths & Dimensions. The album showcases the core guitar duo - Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson - incorporating influences from a plethora of guest musicians, bringing the SUNN O))) sound to epic new levels. The band also collaborated with composer Eyvind Kang (notable for his work with John Zorn, Marc Ribot, Bill Frisell, etc.) on various acoustic ensembles, in addition to the Helios fueled electric guitars and basses. Key players on the album include Australian guitar genius Oren Ambarchi, enigmatic Hungarian vocalist Attila Csihar (Mayhem, Tormentor, etc.) and slow music godfather Dylan Carlson (Earth), as well as a brass section: Steve Moore (of Earth), Julian Priester (worked with Sun Ra in the 50s, John Coltrane’s African Brass band, and Herbie Hancock’s Sextant band) and new-music horn player Stuart Dempster. There’s also an upright bass trio, French & English horns, harp & flute duo, piano, reed & strings ensembles, and a Viennese woman’s choir led by Persian vocal savant Jessika Kenney. The album is not “SUNN O))) with strings” or “metal meets orchestra” material. The band took an approach concentrating on more of allusion toward the timbre of feedback and the instruments involved, so the piece is really illusory, beautiful and not entirely linear, stating that the end product is “the most musical piece we’ve done, and also the heaviest, powerful and most abstract set of chords we’ve laid to tape” The album was recorded and mixed by Randall Dunn & Mell Dettmer at various points over the last 2 years, and will be released: -May 18th Uk and Europe -May 26th North America -TBA= Australasia Monoliths & Dimensions is practice in density, gravity and momentum. Cover art “out-of-round X” by Richard Serra (1999) Monoliths & Dimensions track listing: Aghartha (17:34) Big Church [megszentségteleníthetetlenségeskedéseitekért] (09:43) Hunting & Gathering (Cydonia) (10:02) Alice (16:21) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monk0nuggets Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 So, it says limited to 500 copies on my copy that I got over the weekend, which is on gold. The announcement on SL says it's limited to 1500 copies. So, is it 500 copies on gold, 1000 copies on black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstercody Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 We need a roll call of who here is down with the Lord. I have a feeling most of the online fans are at Forever Doomed. And yes, I'm picking up the Weedeater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
