Roadburn / Burning World Recs

Roadburn Records is proud to present another installment in the ‘Live at Roadburn’-series. Bongripper Live At Roadburn 2012 is only available digitally for now. The new year will see the release of the 2CD (in February) and the vinyl around Roadburn 2013. As we want as many people to hear these great sets we decided to do the digital version on a “pay what you want or ”name your price” basis.

If you have a small wallet due to the holiday season, just pick it up for free and enjoy it! If you got some more money to spend and want to support the band and the label, you can name your own price. In the meantime the stream from Bandcamp itself is free, so if you don’t want to leave your email address when you want to download it for free, you can just enjoy the album from the Bandcamp site.

Roadburn Records is proud to present another installment in the Live at Roadburn series. The new year begins heavy with Bongripper Live At Roadburn 2012, and later Conan will follow. But we can safely say that the biggest title we can announce for 2013 is the set legendary Norwegian band Ulver played at Roadburn 2012. They played a special set of 60′s covers from 13th Floor Elevators, The Beau Brummels, Jefferson Airplane, Troggs among others.

As the band says themselves on their website: ”Live at Roadburn is also around the corner. Roadburn Records will release a limited edition vinyl in one thousand copies next year, while we will release it digitally from our new webstore – store.jester-records.com – linked directly to from the app and our webpages.” (And when you are there check out the new Ulver app!)

The release is planned for an spring release. No date is set yet, but keep on checking these pages and we’ll keep you posted!

The Obsessed Live in Koln vinyl  is now also available in the USA with a new sleeve design! On red and grey vinyl. Listen to the sample track Mourning on our Bandcamp page.

This is what our American distributor Outer Battery Records in Vermont says about the album:

Have we got a hot record for you guys! Our partnership continues with Roadburn – the Dutch festival/label – and this time we bring you The Obsessed’s “Live in Koln” LP. Recorded in 1992 and featuring the line-up from “The Church Within” – Scott ‘Wino’ Weinrich on guitar/vocals, Greg Rogers on drums and Guy Pinhas on bass – “Live in Koln” is 10 monstrous slabs of doom that captures the band at their peak.

Our version comes with new artwork designed by Guy Pinhas, and we pressed 800 copies on grey vinyl and a very limited run of just 200 copies on blood red vinyl, only available from the Outer Battery website!

If you want one please go here. And while you are at it, they also have some nice J. Mascis related vinyls on display as well.

PS for wholesale or trades in the US please mail info at outerbatteryrecords dot com.

Just a short note to say that we have about 15 more gold copies for sale. We always wait till the album comes in to check if it arrived all right and to have some to spare in case some were damaged. And next to that we had some customers who bought way more that was allowed. I mean we are not against Ebay gold but we’d rather sell 1 copies top 10 customers than 10 copies to one Ebay seller who then flips them for 200$ (yes that’s you Old Man Chair Records, Ote138 and Wellington3rd). So this item now has a 1 copy per customer cap. If you buy more you’ll be refunded for both items and get no record. We know there is still ways to get more when you buy with different addresses and such but so be it.

Get it here. … SOLD OUT

The album is in production, the test-pressing is confirmed so this means we can put this baby up for pre-sale. Roadburn Records is proud to present Chelsea Wolfe Live At Roadburn 2012 LP to the world. This album will only be available on vinyl, no cd or digital release is planned at this moment (and chances are there will be none). Find the artwork for the album to the left (click=big) – made by Ben Chisholm of the band – and the links to purchase the album on gold (limited to 100 copies) or on black vinyl (400 copies) below.

Chelsea Wolfe – Live at Roadburn 2012 (gold vinyl) SOLD OUT

As we mentioned earlier our friends at Outer Battery Records are taking care of the distribution of our items in the USA. The first result was the White Hills – Live At Roadburn vinyl but now we have shipped way more stock to them.

If you are based in the US or Canada and shipping from Europe is too expensive (or to risky) for you, this is the way to get these imports for normal prices and local shipping. There’s vinyl from Neurosis, Wino, Scott Kelly, Lustmord, The Obsessed and more. What’s not to like!

And that’s not all. As you may have heard Gravedancer Records has released Conan’s Monnos in the US (or rather will release it next week) and they have some vinyl copies of the album available and some of the split CD with Slomatics at their online store. Get it while they are hot!

Happy days at the Roadburn Records offices. After announcing the release of Black Magician and White Hills US release last week, we have other news we like to share with you. LA chanteuse Chelsea Wolfe will release the set that she and her band played at Roadburn 2012 through Roadburn Records in September. The set (which you can listen to below courtesey of VPRO’s 3VOOR12) was remastered by the band and will only be released on limited edition vinyl. Pre-sales will go up halfway August and the records will be sent out halfway September of this year.

Northern California native Chelsea Wolfe’s sound is best described with broad strokes: elemental, intense, radiant, ancient yet modern, intimate yet expansive, dark and sparkling. Hues of black metal and deep blues inform her ever-evolving electric folk, a warm force that wraps itself around the listener, encouraging uplift, seeking triumph. Her voice similarly haunts and soothes, with words that illuminate life’s darker corners in order to reveal the unlikely truth and beauty hidden within.

We’ve been working hard the last years to get our Burning World and Roadburn releases over to the US. Which sounds simple but in reality it takes a lot of doing with shipments, customs, lost packages, reclaims with the insurance and all that. All energy that is spent on things we’d rather not do. That is why we have decided to partner up with two trusthworthy US based Canadian fellas. They go by the name of Outer Battery Records (don’t ask, another Canadian thing) and they will release and distribute some selected titles from our catalogue.

White Hills Live At Roadburn LP is the first result of our cooperation, the next one will be The Obsessed Live in Koln 92 vinyl in the fall. Outer Battery’s first releases are the J. Mascis project Heavy Blanket and Dinosaur Jr’s live set of their performance of the Bug album.

As said our first joint release is White Hills – Live At Roadburn 2011 vinyl. It is available in the Outer Battery store.

Lot’s of questions came in yesterday when we posted the news on Roadburn Records releasing The Obsessed Live in Koln vinyl. To cut it short the main question was: how does it sound? Exactly for that reason we have posted the first track from the album on Bandcamp. Not to buy but just to get an idea on how the quality of the live album will be. We guess you won’t be dissapointed!

Here is all the info on the release including a link on where to purchase the album or how to pick it up when you go the Roadburn 2012.
