roboticempire Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 (photo by Rich Gaccione) TWO back-to-back THOU updates?! Not that crazy when you consider how freakishly prolific this monster outfit is, and we're pretty hyped to have our hands in yet another release they've done. A bit less directly this time, but along with longtime brethren Gilead Media, the Robotic Empire - Online Store is the very first place to stock THOU's band-released *upgraded* vinyl repress of their latest album, Summit. Thankfully this one is NOT a pre-order, as this bad mamma jamma is all done and ready to roll! Their latest doom/sludge masterpiece, Summit, was initially released on wax by Southern Lord, but now self-released by the band with some mild but important upgrades: all new plates, heavyweight tip-on style jacket with clear spot-gloss, heavier printed innersleeve (with corrected text and lyrics), NO mucking around with stickers, smokey clear 180 GRAM vinyl... overall we're just talking a really classy package here. That's not to dump on the venerable Southern Lord's pressing, which was solid. Its just that THOU has since ironed out a few OCD kinks on what they want to see within a fully realized package, taking knowledge gained from our recent The Archer & The Owle "megaEP" release and re-applying some sonic and aesthetic enhancements to their latest full-length offering. That being said, this thing is freaking beautiful. An already massive album that is now probably a bit more in line with the true vision THOU has for this album. We're honored to aide these fine southern gentlemen in any way yet again, and of course along with our awesome(ly organized) brother-in-arms at Gilead Media! To commemorate the occasion (and others), we have beefed up our THOU shirt arsenal with a new ripoff of a classic PG.99 image... actually the first t-shirt we ever printed so many years ago! We're still using the same great printshop who've always done us right and are happy to present this thing to you today. Alabama's Mammoth Printshop printed our very first shirt for us a solid dozen or so years ago: a black owl and mustard yellow text on an athletic grey t-shirt. Here we are again with an homage to those days comparison image here, with friends of all conspirators THOU delivering this classic ripoff tee. In addition to that banger, we're hoping to have another new design and one re-print in house before too long, but those didn't quite make it in time for this update. No matter, there is a (potentially literal) TON of other new items and restocks for this update, including a slew of other very righteous vinyl and shirts. Noteworthy new jams include the debut FALSE LP (sooooo highly recommended), BARGHEST's debut (ex/current THOU), DARK CASTLE's latest on color, GHOSTLIMB efficiency, the long overdue and most triumphant HARKONEN LP (finally!), MOLOCH, SUTEKH HEXEN, more(!) freakin THOU import LPs, TOMBS wax, mo' Mylene Sheath glory, another rad COUGH shirt (exclusive to our mailorder) and lots more... Restocks include the other gnarly COUGH t-shirt designs and ALL their vinyl releases, BARN OWL, a BARONESS re-press, CAPSULE's latest album on coloured vinylz, DROPDEAD x3, GEISHA, JUNIUS 2xLPs, MASTODON and more.

roboticempire Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 Not sure, I'll ask the band (who're self-releasing the 10" too). KILLER material though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roboticempire Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 I'm actually NOT sure, please holla at our mailorder peeps. Also... THOU spoke to NPR in depth about their "Something In The Way" cover on the new The Archer & The Owle megaEP (see this megaThread for more info). Pretty rad interview, including this: "A while back, we sort of jokingly made the statement that any record we ever do on Robotic Empire is going to have a Nirvana cover on it, and we sort of tried to hold to that." * Read the full thing over at NPR's "All Songs Considered" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
