CLOUDS COLLIDE - THEY DON'T SLEEP ANYMORE
"They Don't Sleep Anymore" is the third in a series of four albums that subtly align with the seasons and the myriad nostalgic feelings which overwhelm me within them. The album title is inspired by the words of Murray Ostril, sampled in "Sleep" by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Where 'Until the Wind Stops Blowing' primarily dealt with the grief of losing the artist's mother to cancer, and 'All Things Shining' focused on coping and the acceptance of that loss, 'They Don't Sleep Anymore' is a combination of the utmost longing for the past, and the vigorous challenge in adapting to one's own present self and potential future. There are a lot of battling and intertwining ideas, opposites and synergies, questioning reality and self-reflection. HOT PINK W/ PURPLE AND ORANGE SPLATTER WAX.

LAMONT, BRUCE - BROKEN LIMBS EXCITE NO PITY
When Bruce Lamont released his first solo album, Feral Songs For The Epic Decline, seven years ago, he was best known as the leader of the psychedelic Chicago jazz-metal group Yakuza. Thus, that album's morose, arty songs came as a radical departure, showing him to be just as comfortable constructing droning, Swans-like epics as exploding with industrial and black metal-inspired rage. In the six years since, his creative journey has taken him farther and farther afield. He's part of electronic noise-dirge squad Corrections House, with Eyehategod's Mike IX Williams, Neurosis's Scott Kelly, and longtime creative partner Sanford Parker; the mind-melting jazz-prog-hardcore trio Brain Tentacles, with Keelhaul bassist Aaron Dallison and grind drummer par excellence Dave Witte; and dozens of other projects, large and small, collaborating with an ever-growing network of like minds. Broken Limbs Excite No Pity, Lamont's second solo album, is in many ways a harsher experience than Feral Songs. Tracked in Chicago's Minbal Studios with Sanford Parker behind the board, it's a one-man show like its predecessor-Lamont sings, harmonizing mournfully with himself, and plays saxophone, guitar, percussion, and electronics. Also like last time, it opens with an 11-minute epic; "Excite No Pity" starts out featuring multiple crying saxophones and deep, almost Bill Laswell-esque bass drones, but is ultimately overtaken by searing electronic noise. "Maclean" warps an acoustic guitar melody with tape effects, to keep it from sounding too much like a Kansas song, while "Goodbye Electric Sunday" is a unique blend of Spaghetti Western soundtrack and Beat poetry over an almost-hip-hop groove. Lamont uses his voice as an instrument almost as often as he uses it to put across his lyrics. On "Neither Spare Nor Dispose," he wails and groans as loops of forcefully strummed acoustic guitar and rumbling percussion thunder past, and static washes over it all like a wave.

STUCK MOJO - HERE COME THE INFIDELS
Before there was Rage Against The Machine and Limp Bizkit, there was the four horseman of the Atlanta music scene, Stuck Mojo. Formed in 1989, they were early pioneers in the rap metal movement that would not only blur but erase the lines between musical and cultural genres. By 1993, the band was playing 280 shows a year and had become one of the most talked about bands in the indie metal scene. The band was signed by Century Media Records and in the spring of 1995, Stuck Mojo released their first full length album, Snappin' Necks. The band would go on to be the label's biggest selling North American band of the 90's, releasing four albums and two EPs, in five years. During that time, the band toured the US and Europe with some of the top names in heavy music: Machine Head, Life Of Agony, Type O Negative, Testament and Pantera. In 1996, Stuck Mojo received the "best live band" award at the MTV European Music Awards Show. In early 2015 Stuck Mojo began writing material for a new album. After confirming the return of longtime producer Andy Sneap the band entered the studio in late summer and recorded the album Here Come the Infidels. Here Come The Infidels is an album for this moment in history as it escalates Stuck Mojo's rich history of pioneering new sonic territory while lyrically pummeling your Prius until it emits plumes of black smoke. Its overwhelming lyrical rebuke against leftist, authoritarian, fascist dogma makes Here Come The Infidels a 41 minute push back against the Social Justice movement.

WHITE SWAN, THE - NOCTURNAL TRASNMISSION
Turquoise with yellow swirl vinyl. The White Swan features Mercedes Lander, former drummer of the late 90's groove metal band Kittie. Landers steps out from behind the skin-fortress to handle just about everything but play bass on this release. Bass duties are taken by Lander's friend and bandmate Kira Longeuay, with Shane Jeffers providing additional guitar to help fill out the sound. With their powers combined, they have created a heroic swell of atmospheric sludge and gothic cascades that will chill you to the bone and leave a patch of frost lingering between your toes.

WHITE SWAN, THE - THE WHITE/ANUBIS
Dirty sludge synth rock. Not the way you'd expect to describe a band called THE WHITE SWAN, but one listen to the Canadian trio and the muddy picture becomes clear. Launched by drummer-turned-vocalist/guitarist Mercedes Lander (KITTIE), THE WHITE SWAN bleeds warm '70s-flavored BLACK SABBATH doom mixed with classic '90s grunge, creating a trademark. Backed by Kira Longeuay (bass) and Shane Jeffers (guitars), Lander's previously unknown vision for her music has taken on a life of its own and has been met with praise by the open-minded legions of the rock and metal community. The White/Anubis is The White Swan's 2 debut EPs, available on 1 album on purple wax.

CRO-MAGS - 2020
The soundtrack to one of the most turbulent years on record. CRO-MAGS 2020 plays out more like a time-capsule playlist to the year rather than a group of individual songs. The record itself is unintentionally 20 minutes and 20 seconds. CRO-MAGS founder and kingpin Harley Flanagan explains, "Just by coincidence we recorded 20 minutes and 16 seconds of music, so we simply added a few seconds of real-world chaos. The album cover is meant to look like a calendar - 7 squares across, with one picture from 2020 per day. Inside the booklet there are 12 pictures, one for each month of 2020; and the back is a shot of something I have never seen before in my life - a totally empty New York City. Corona Virus, quarantine, empty streets, brutality, burning buildings, violence and destruction: 2020 is a year none of us will ever forget.

A Time of Hunting was the follow-up to 2010's celebrated debut And the Rest Will Surely Parish, an album that the Village Voice described as "fueled mainly by Sabbath's grooves, Sleep's foggy haze, and Yob's oppressive thunder." Produced once again by the venerable Sanford Parker (YOB, Zoroaster, Unearthly Trance, Minsk, Indian, Nachtmystium) and mixed by David Bottrill (Tool, Muse, King Crimson), A Time of Hunting has been described by The Obleisk.net as "strange and eerie and kind of off the wall stylistically, and it doesn't really sound like anything else out there...Rarely will I go so far as to call something unique.

 SCALE THE SUMMIT

SCALE THE SUMMIT - IN A WORLD OF FEAR
Described as "essential prog" by Guitar World, SCALE THE SUMMIT was formed in 2004 after guitarists Chris and Travis met while attending Hollywood's Musicians Institute. The group self-released their first album, 2007's "Monument," before signing with Prosthetic for the 2009 release of their sophomore effort "Carving Desert Canyons." That album earned acclaim from fans, critics and peers alike -- none more high-profile than former Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy, who asked the band to take part in the group's Progressive Nation tour that year. From there, SCALE THE SUMMIT supported the release of 2011's "The Collective" with rigorous touring. With new bassist Mark in tow, the band then headed to King's Basement Studios in North Carolina to record "The Migration" (2013), their first effort to crack the Billboard Top 200. Described as "post-rock at its most melodic and dynamic best" (Alternative Press), the album was supported by extensive touring across North America and Europe, as well as appearances on several notable festivals (Yestival, SXSW, Cruise to the Edge, etc). SCALE THE SUMMIT are about to release their 6th studio album "IN A WORLD OF FEAR" out May, 19, 2017. Chris Letchford, the primary song writer since the creation of Scale The Summit has teamed up with the mighty Charlie Engen on drums and Kilian Duarte on bass to create the most anticipated album in instrumental metal in years. Produced by Chris Letchford and mixed by Anup Sastry.

STUCK MOJO - HERE COME THE INFIDELS
Before there was Rage Against The Machine and Limp Bizkit, there was the four horseman of the Atlanta music scene, Stuck Mojo. Formed in 1989, they were early pioneers in the rap metal movement that would not only blur but erase the lines between musical and cultural genres. By 1993, the band was playing 280 shows a year and had become one of the most talked about bands in the indie metal scene. The band was signed by Century Media Records and in the spring of 1995, Stuck Mojo released their first full length album, Snappin' Necks. The band would go on to be the label's biggest selling North American band of the 90's, releasing four albums and two EPs, in five years. During that time, the band toured the US and Europe with some of the top names in heavy music: Machine Head, Life Of Agony, Type O Negative, Testament and Pantera. In 1996, Stuck Mojo received the "best live band" award at the MTV European Music Awards Show. In early 2015 Stuck Mojo began writing material for a new album. After confirming the return of longtime producer Andy Sneap the band entered the studio in late summer and recorded the album Here Come the Infidels. Here Come The Infidels is an album for this moment in history as it escalates Stuck Mojo's rich history of pioneering new sonic territory while lyrically pummeling your Prius until it emits plumes of black smoke. Its overwhelming lyrical rebuke against leftist, authoritarian, fascist dogma makes Here Come The Infidels a 41 minute push back against the Social Justice movement.

TELEKINETIC YETI - ABOMINABLE
Even before you hit play, Dubuque, Iowa, duo Telekinetic Yeti have started ticking off boxes. Hair and beards, see-through drums, prominent logos for Orange, Hiwatt, Marshall, etc., cover art with druids on it. These things should be visual dogwhistles to the converted by this point - "you're in for some heavy shit." And so you are. Telekinetic Yeti debut album, Abominable, will see release on March 17. It's a nice blend of fuzzy bounce and thicker, Sleep-derived groove and howls. With already a strong buzz in the stoner/doom world, once the world sees this two-piece destroy live, expect massive things from this massive sounding duo.
