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.

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

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:

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.

To get a taste of their Live at Roadburn album, listen to Ulver’s take on The Music Emporium‘s Velvet Sunset below.

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

Roadburn Records is proud as a peacock to announce the release of the first slab of black vinyl from the mighty Obsessed in many years. Live in Koln December 29th 1992 captures the band live at their peak and is released to celebrate the bands come back on Roadburn on April 14th 2012. This one will be vinyl only. The recordings were mastered by James Plotkin.

The record (and shows) will be featuring the lineup from The Church Within; Scott “Wino” Weinrich on guitar/vocals, Greg Rogers (Goatsnake, Sonic Medusa) on drums and Guy Pinhas (Acid King, Goatsnake and Beaver) on bass.

The tracklist:
A: Mourning, Hiding Mask, The Way She Fly, Forever Midnight, Streamlined
B:  Brother Blue Steel, Blind Lightning, Neatz Brigade, River Of Soul

The album will first be available at the Roadburn Festival in Tilburg on April 12th 2012. All pre-orders that will be picked up there will include the limited edition 7″ that goes with the album with two secret never before released tracks. All other copies will not include the single.

If you pick up other items along the way, the same “no postage” will apply of course.

This release is a great addition to both White Hills’ and Roadburn’s neatly and steadily built portfolios of mind-warpingly timeless music. Even without the visuals, vintage clothing attire or volume-inflicting stage set-up, there’s no denying these New Yorkers’ pedigree as a live act is solidified by this epic show. Long live Roadburn Records and the cosmic mindfuck of White Hills.

Anyone who witnessed the explosive White Hills show at Roadburn 2011 knows this is a no-brainer: this set should be released.
