A double vinyl gatefolded edition of the album Zoetrope is scheduled for release on Burning World Records in November 2010. This will be the first Lustmord album that is available for 26 years. Burning World Records is therefore extremely honored to release this album.

The album will include an extra track “The Abhorrent Apparatus” which was not on the original CD. The album will be available for pre-order directly from the Burning World Web Site and through the usual distribution channels. (Note: pre-orders will not made available until a month before release).

The European version of Stone Axe – II is now available on Alone Records/Burning World Records! It’s alimited edition of 300 with 100 on gold vinyl, 200 on black. So get them while you can. Read an excerpt of the review Woody did for The Ripple Effect. See the pics and tracklist (different than on cd) after the break (click on pictues for bigger versions).

When it comes to mid-tempo heavy rock, Stone Axe are the most dedicated muthas on the planet right now. Too old and unfashionable to be considered “retro,” Stone Axe eat, shit and breathe the full gamut of classic rock from the late 1960’s through the early 1970’s.  Stone Axe II picks up where 2009’s full length debut left off but also offers quite a few surprises. The first album was heavy on British style blues rock of bands like Free, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Fleetwood Mac (Peter Green era, only), etc. This new one touches on just about every style of classic rock. Listening to Stone Axe II from start to finish is like listening to a good rock radio station with a good DJ and no format restrictions.

After Wolves in The Throne Room (2008), Year of No Light (2008) and Church of Misery (2009) the smokin set that Wino band (including JP Gaster of Clutch on drums and Jon Blank on bass) played on the Afterburner in 2009 was the best conclusion the festival could have.

On the back of his set with Saint Vitus on friday Wino played a mix of material from the just released Wino album Puntuated Equilibibrium, The Obsessed-material and more.

The set was recorded in multi track and mixed and mastered specially for this release by Mell Dettmer (Sunn o))), Earth, Burning Witch & more).

“Tides was written and recorded during an extremely intense winter here in Ireland. It is the first time we have ever worked on material in the winter and I think that had an influence, even if I did not realize it at the time. During the writing I was also spending a great deal of time at a house on the coast, with the Atlantic Ocean just a stone’s throw away. I could not help but become captivated by its energy. While at this place, I learned stories of the hardships endured by people living on small Islands off this coast before the modern world existed. These people were entirely at the mercy of the Atlantic Ocean and as such were very much in tune with its movements and rhythm.

With Tides we also chose to go for a less studio-esq experience and record in a more raw way. The recording of White Tomb was very much a studio experience whereas Tides was more impulsive, we did not spend any time fretting over perfect takes or sounds. I think that is why the end product is less polished and more emotionally driven. That is an approach I would like to take in the future, especially with vocals. A metal ‘shriek’ is a painful, honest expression – but how can it be honest if it is recorded over and over until it sounds correct? (Of course the same approach might not apply to melodic singing, which has a ‘right’ sound.). With the second album I would like to find a balance between having an honest and real (not hundreds of takes) recording that adheres to what we would consider to be album standards. ”

Burning World Records is extremely proud to present that we are giving Harvestman – In a Dark Tongue the vinyl treatment. July 15th 2010 we will release this 2LP but copies will be available on the European Steve von Till/Harvestman tour of which you’ll find the dates below. Artwork was in the hands of Josh Graham (Neurosis/ A Storm of Light)

The first Harvestman record, A Grave Is A Grim Horse, was a dizzying confluence of delicate seventies British style folk, shimmery spaced out drift, and glacial doomdrone sprawl, a constantly evolving, organic song suite that seemed to exist in some glorious blissed out druggy spacefolk otherworld. On In A Dark Tongue, the glimmering strands of traditional folk music that had tethered the first record become even more tenuous.

The possibility to pre-order (together with the pre-orders for Neurosis – Live at Roadburn 2007 2LP) will be up later this week. As usual we offer a limited gold vinyl version and a high quality black vinyl version. See Steve von Till/Harvestman this summer on his European tour:

Though it only lasts two tracks but conversely- 35 minutes, the new EP from Altar of Plagues, Tides, is every bit as powerful as White Tomb, one of my favorite LPs of last year. AoP’s new Tides EP is currently up for pre-order via Burning World Records cop it, but until that package arrives, make sure and dig on “Atlantic Lights” from the EP 50% of the record! , which makes it’s world premiere here!
