New INTER ARMA debut 12" + TORCHE demos 10" & more

[roboticempire]

Hey VC dudes!! Figured some folks here would be intersted in some of this stuff... if any admin/whoever is bummed about the distro list postings though plz just let me know and I'll edit the post!

After a much-needed vacation, we're now all caught up with Robotic Empire - Online Store orders and ready to jump back into the thick of it. Just in time too, as a new label-affiliated release is ready to roll along with a HEAP of awesome stuff added to the store... so here ya go:

INTER ARMA is a Richmond metal band we've watched grow over the past few years into a truly formidable force. Tastefully spanning most metal genres (blackened chaos through downtrodden sludge), these young freaks have so much going for them that it's pretty amazing to get to work with them in on the ground floor. I think most people who've witnessed them live expect great things for INTER ARMA, and the Mirror Universe partner label (co-releasing with longtime dawgs Forcefield) have just dropped the incredible Sundown debut LP.

Recorded all analog last year in rural Virginia, INTER ARMA deliver six lengthy songs on their first album (seven on the CD solely released by Forcefield). The vinyl includes a download code of all seven songs, and intricately trippy cover art by RVA native Eliza Childress. Printed in black ink on brown chipboard covers, the INTER ARMA debut album finally does the band a bit of justice, and we're seriously thrilled to have a small part in what is undoubtedly one of Virginia's finer exports in quite some time.

* The first song from the album can now be heard on our Facebook page.

* Two different songs (plus an older demo) from the album can be heard on the band's Myspace page.

* The band is embarking on an EPIC full-usa tour with brother band BASTARD SAPLING from June---]August. GO SEE THEM LIVE for the full experience: full dates available here.

Sundown vinyl is available now in the Robotic Empire - Online Store (along with the killer INTER ARMA / BATTLEMASTER split... both bands' vinyl debut), and Sundown vinyl or CD are available from Forcefield Records as well.

Besides the new label-affiliated release, we've stocked a solid stack of stuff in the Robotic Empire - Online Store. Exclusively rock-solid new items (two THOU splits, new [old] TORCHE demos 10", KRALLICE, NADJA, SICK / TIRED, both killer "Clone" comp LPs, etc)... plus some gnarly re-stocks and over 250 (!) newly or additionally discounted items. That brings the massive sale list up to nearly 600 items. We're running out of room again, so we've discounted almost everything we carry with a quantity of 3 or greater, so check out that massive list of stuff as there's huge discounts on an expansive variety of genres and formats.

Thanks for orders dudes, 34 copies of the INTER ARMA debut album remain on colored vinyl...

[roboticempire]

INTER ARMA have unleashed five tracks from their new album, "Sundown" across the following sites:

"Epicenter" and "Hallucinatorium" - http://www.myspace.com/InterArmaMetal

"All Time Low" - http://www.facebook.com/RoboticEmpire

"Sundown" - http://www.myspace.com/ForcefieldRecords

"2000 Years" - http://www.omgvinyl.com/2010/06/21/inter-arma-sundown-lp

Recently co-released by Forcefield Records and (Robotic Empire label affiliate) Mirror Universe Records, INTER ARMA's debut album has been receiving widespread critical acclaim thus far, including the following noteworthy comments:

"Richmond's INTER ARMA totally floored me ... with their furious mix of black metal, southern stoner style and NEUROSIS-style imperial riffage." -Brooklyn Vegan

"Further blurring the lines between what constitutes pure Norwegian black metal, Scandinavian blackened death metal and their influences Stateside, Richmond, VA's INTER ARMA unveil one intense demon of an album with Sundown." -Exclaim

"An unexpected (and shockingly fluid) mix of black metal and sludge ... expect a lot of cool surprises and twists throughout." -Aversionline

"Bluesy Crust/Sludge/Blackened metal in the highest of orders. This band is just ugly all around and I [am] so proud to have heard it." -Absolute Zero Media

”One of the heaviest things out of Richmond. I am excited about the future for INTER ARMA as they are onto something special.” -Dave Witte (MUNICIPAL WASTE, DISCORDANCE AXIS, etc)

"It’s inevitable; the minute any band starts racking up sales totals, accumulates an audience and attains any amount of popularity beyond their small circle of been-there-since-the-beginning supporters, cries of “sellout” come quicker than a New Yorker screaming “Terrorism!” at the sight of a forgotten gym bag on the D-train. Relevant here are the fingers that have been pointed at Mastodon and Baroness for imagined crimes against the sensibility and sacredness of the scene. Hark! There is hope for those of you who take discomfort in the knowledge that Mastodon is signed to a major and Baroness has shown increased flashes of brilliance since The Red Album. Gather ‘round, ye of the underground, for here is a band of Richmond dudes who combine touches of all manner of metal, from doom and thrash to black and traditional to sludge and psychedelic, and do so with a gritty, dirt-under-the-working-man’s-fingernails sound lacking show and polish.

Indeed, Mastodon and Baroness immediately comes to mind as influences – specifically, the former’s Remission and the latter’s First and Second EPs – as this quintet temper sugary sludge with a strong sense of melody and broad strokes of guitar layers. The ascending, harmonized riff in the chorus of “2000 Years” is the sort of unadulterated awesome that’ll make your arm hair stand on end and have you pulling the air guitar out from under the bed while “Epicenter” answers the oft-asked question, “Just what would it sound like if 1349 hailed from Arkansas?” Then, there’s “The Reclamation” which is what Torche might sound like if they had never heard The Beach Boys and the concluding, emotional dirge that is the title track and sounds like Neurosis and Led Zeppelin being put through a meat grinder from which they fire off stunning volleys of southern rock lead guitar screaming.

Not only that, the cover drawing is a detailed slice of artistry that tussles with the sacred cows of religion, the environment, spirituality, native societies and death; the dust jacket feels like some sort of recycled cardboard and the whole thing screams “DIY or die!” The elitists will have to have fun with this while they can, because with an album this awesome, Inter Arma shouldn’t remain obscure for long."

A condensed but stacked sesh for the Robotic Empire - Online Store this week. On the semi-Robo-releated-tip are ACROSS TUNDRAS' new album on CD that we ended up NOT releasing (but is still worth checking out) and the killer new GODS & QUEENS EP that we probably should have released. That one comes from our Italian brothers at Sons of Vesta though and looks like we're the "exclusive distributor" for it stateside... so if you run a store, bedroom distro and/or otherwise wanna wholesale: please get in touch.

On that note too: the whole GODS & QUEENS EP is available for a free download and we wrote something a bit more longwinded about all that in the Robotic Obscurities blog. There's a cool old video there too from the album we released a couple years back.

im curious as to what the RE headquarters looks like.

[roboticempire]

its underwhelming

[roboticempire]

maybe a BIT irrelevant to this site, but just in case...

Until the end of the month, all standalone CD and DVD releases that we carry (priced over 5 bucks) are discounted an additional $2, even if they're already on sale!

Here's the catch: PLEASE pick up more than 1 item so we don't totally eat it on this. Thanks & enjoy!
