Roadburn / Burning World Recs

The first recordings from Roadburn Festival 2013 to see the light of day is the blistering and blackened Sunday live performance of Tilburg’s own Nihill. As. Nihill Undead At Roadburn 2013 will be released on tape – which is a Roadburn Records first! 100 copies. No digital. Just analog. Get yours here. Tapes will be sent out 1st  or 2nd week of june 2013.

Some gracious quotes about the performance:

‘Nihill then show up out of the darkness of the Green Room to ruin everyone’s relaxed party-end atmosphere. On their very first live show, the subtle genius of their three records engulfed in a whirlwind of black/doom malice and then spat out again in disgust, in a stage performance much more focused on unhinged violence than their recordings. Such is the beating we take from them that everything seems less great after Nihill.’  Terrorizer

‘Nightmarish black metal from Roadburn’s own backyard, featuring Michiel Eikenaar from Dodecahedron on brutishly snarled vocals; they laid down the kind of performance that bands with decades more experience would slit their own wattled throats for.’ Grim Kim for Metalsucks.

As you probably know Scion A/V invited us last year to curate a day at the Roxy in Los Angeles. We invited Astra, Earthless, White Hills and Enslaved. All gigs were recorded in audio and video and now two tracks from that day from White Hills and Earthless (listen and download below) are available on a super limited 10″ vinyl. All you have to do is spend more than 50 euro in our online store at Burningworldrecords.com (see below for some of the recent arrivals) and select the item when you check out. Supplies are limited as this 10″ will only be used for promotional purposes and will not be available through other distribution channels. So get it while you can!

It’s that time of the month again. Our irregular update of all new vinyl we got in the store in the last few weeks. And we have a nice suprise (official announcement will follow shortly after this post): all orders over 50 euro (without shipping) will get a White Hills / Earthless Roadburn Records Scion AV exclusive 10″ for free! Just select it  when you check out. But no hanky panky! If your order is not 50 euro or more, the free 10″ will be cancelled. And these 10″s will not be sold seperately as these are promo items only. We only have a limited amlount so get in while you can!

If the last Roadburn weekend was not a classic we don’t know what is. Tons of good bands, tons of good people, tons of good records sold and bought. It does’t get much better than that! Only sad thing is: we have to wait another year before Roadburn is on again ;-(

For now we are trying to find solace in the records by which we try to recreate the Roadburn atmosphere. We got our hands on limited qualities of the Roadburn Festival releases by Godflesh and Dread Sovereign and also some of the Roadburn colors of the new Intronaut and Spiritual Beggars releases. Next to that we have the new Cough / Windhand split and the Conan / Bongripper split in. And some records from our good friends at Svart Records, Hypertension, Reflections and My Proud Mountain. See the whole list below.

And next to that we have closed both our Discogs store and the Burning World Store till after Roadburn as the stock will go so fast there we can not keep the store updated. To limit the situations where customers have ordered records we don’t have anymore we have decided to close the shops till next Tuseday or Wednesday.

Roadburn records was honored to be invited by Scion AV to curate a night in The Roxy on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. On the 12th of November last year 4 bands took the stage for some schreddin performances. First up were San Diego proggers Astra, followed by New York’s garage psychedelics White Hills and riffmongers Earthless. Norwegian psychedelic black metallers Enslaved headlined the festivities wit material from their just released album RITTIR, some classics and an Led Zeppelin cover. What a day that was!

And late last year we (JP and Jurgen) were interviewed for as well for Scion. Watch those clips below. After the break more links to audio and video material of that night and a free download of the White Hills / Earthless 10″.

Roadburn Records is proud to present yet another installment in the ever expanding ‘Live At Roadburn’-series. After releases of Chelsea Wolfe, Ulver, Conan and Bongripper we conclude last years quintet with The Netherlands’ own The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation with an album simply called ROADBURN.

The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation is the heavy droning improv incarnation of The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble. The music taps into the blistering low-frequency guitar soundscapes, augmented with smatterings of electronic skullduggery and eruptions of cello and trombone. The overall effect of this ensemble conjures expansive sonic wastelands which seem to heighten in sludgy intensity as the sessions go on. Combining subtlety with mightily impressive cinematic-sounding climaxes. Across draughty plateaus of bottom-heavy bluster, arcs of grim string instruments sound out, making for a surprisingly digestible bout of improvisational doom.

T.M.F.D.J.C release their 5th live album ‘Roadburn’. Recorded live April 12th 2012 at the famous Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, where the Corporation had the honor of opening on the main stage on Sunday at the Festival’s Afterburner.

‘Roadburn’ is The Corporations heaviest and darkest journey into abstract alien industrial territories. During this show the animations of Harry Smith guided the band through this darkened journey of colossal darkness…

Line up for this recording :
Hilary Jeffery : Trombone
Nina Hitz : Cello
Eelco Bosman : Guitar
Gideon Kiers : Electronics
Jason Kohnen : Bass

Mixed by Danny Gras
Mastering by James Plotkin

The album is available on the bands Bandcamp page on ‘Pay What you Want’-basis or on cd and double vinyl (black and gold) in the Burning World online store. Listen to the whole album below:

Quite some new vinyl came in the last two weeks, from Denovali Record and Svart among others. We have the big record fair in Utrecht ahead of us in two weeks and after that it’s Roadburn 2013 so we better stock up on some goodies! We will however close both the Burning World Store and the Discogs store for more than a week because of those two big weekend. The chance that a lot of vinyl that is for sale online will simply not be there any more.

Next to that we still have the pre-order up for the Bongripper and Ulver live at Roadburn double vinyls and the Corrections House 7″. There’s still a few gold one left so if you want one be quick! These releases will come in late next week and will be shipped early the next.

Burning World Records is proud to release the debut single from Corrections House, Hoax The System, for Europe. In the US the single will be released by on Parker and Lamont’s War Crime Recordings label.

Corrections House is a metal supergroup featuring Scott Kelly (Neurosis), Mike IX Williams  (Eyehategod), Sanford Parker (Nachtmystium), and Bruce Lamont (Yakuza/Bloodiest).

‘There’s really no way to sum up the sound of Corrections House.  If you listen to each one of the members’ individual projects, then you can maybe get an idea if you just imagine a nice blend of the four of them.  It’s not metal, it’s not industrial, and it’s certainly not easily classified.  But overall, it’s pure genius!‘ (Zero Tolerance Magazine)

The single is available in gold and black vinyl and will be sent out second week of April 2013 and will of course be available at the Roadburn festival 2013. Check out both versions in the Burning World online store.

Early pioneers of Norwegian black metal Ulver have continually evolved over the years to become living legends of the dark music genre. By blending rock, electronic, industrial and symphonic traditions along with ambient soundscapes and experimental sounds, the band has created truly groundbreaking material.

Ulver returned with Childhood’s End, a collection of classic psychedelic tracks recorded by the band during various sessions starting in late 2008 and ending in late 2011. “This is the stuff that we sit at home and get stoked about,” Kristoffer Rygg explained in an interview. “I grew up with parents who were still listening to music from the time, so it informed my childhood, but it has became an ever increasing geeky sort of fetish since then.”

This passion for Sixties garage rock and psychedelia and the countless underground gems that remain unknown to many inspired the band to record their own interpretations of some of their favorite songs from the era. “My feeling is that most people’s knowledge sort of limits itself to The Doors,” said Rygg, “The Doors were cool, but there was so much else going on in the underground, records that got lost and didn’t get as much recognition as they deserved in my opinion.”

Ulver performed the tracks from Childhood’s End for the first and only time live at Roadburn 2012. Their “1967” performance, mixed by Kristoffer Rygg and mastered by Jaime Gomez Arellano, will be released on 2LP and CD through Burning World Records and available at this year’s Roadburn Festival.

That album is now available for pre-order on vinyl and cd and will be sent out the 2nd week of April 2013 or can be picked up at the Roadburn Festival 2013.

The vinyl is available in 3 colors:

• Gold (100 copies, only available at Burning World Records),
• White (300 copies, only available at Burning World Record and the USA)
• Black (600 copies, available at Burning World Records and all good shops near you!)

There is also an option to buy all 3 colors at a special price and the gold version is also available in a package with a shirt (round sleeve design, gold on black). Get it here.
