out with steamrolling death metal grooves and set to an old-school battery of blasts and kick-work. Spidery bass lines and growling vocals relate ironic weedlaced
tales of gore and murder (with a bit of heavy-handed humor), creating a reality that includes the existence of bloodthirsty bud monsters and mysterious
death-dealing weed-cults. Reeking with pungent infectiousness, Tube of the Resinated is a heady death metal release created by members of Municipal
Waste, Battlemaster, and Parasytic that will leave you totally stoned to the bone... so roll it u
Free Blood Never Hear Surf Music Again 829732000115 $8.97 Vinyl 12-Inch/Maxi
First up on Rong’s shiny, new imprint with DFA is Free Blood’s Never Hear Surf Music Again 12-inch.This two-piece Brooklyn band has more street credit
than you can shake a stick at, and for good reason. Consisting of Madeline Davy (Octopi NYC) on the microphone and John Pugh (formally of !!!) also on
microphone, Free Blood has got some serious, serious heat on the mic and mixing board. Hey, really, who needs other band members when you’re rockin’
a style this damn hard? ‘Never Hear Surf Music Again’ is an unpredictable druggy number, a mangled hybrid of Beatles-esque melodies fused angrily with
a Butthole Surfers song. It’s followed by the steaming mayhem of ‘Quick and Painful’, a raucous affair that delivers a swift kick to the jewels. On the flip, the
Barfly boys stretch things out a bit with a nine-minute Walter-Gibbons-style disco remix of the title track. After tearing the roof off and burning down the place
with their mind-crunching sound, this band is ready to clear out any venue at a moment’s notice.
Gable Seven Guitars With A Cloud Of Milk 5060158993208 $15.97 CD Rock/Pop
2008 album from the Alternative French band containing 18 tracks clocking in at just under 40 minutes. The songs cover such diverse topics as group
suicide, the state of urban music, self-realization, cats, and drunk foxes, in the best tradition of DIY bands like The Vaselines, Violent Femmes, and Beat
Happening. French pop heritage is littered with smooth and creamy icons: Gainsbourg, Karen Anne, Adamo, and François Hardy. Gablé, however, is a
completely different kettle de poison. Wearing their influences on their sleeves, they stick a big, lovely lump of absolutely bonkers, stinky musical cheese in
the face of their suave ancestry. Loaf.
Gates Of Slumber Conqueror 880270228522 $14.97 CD Rock/Pop
It was only a matter of time before Indianapolis, Indiana’s The Gates of Slumber gained recognition as one of the most prominent true doom/heavy metal acts
in the country. Spawned in the late ’90s, the band emerged in 2004 after several demos with their debut, The Awakening, a breath of fresh air in the metal
underground. The album harnessed their influences—Black Sabbath, Pentagram, St. Vitus, Cirith Ungol, Rainbow, Thin Lizzy—as a solid foundation for
their sound. Its follow-up, Suffer No Guilt, was hailed as one of the best albums of its kind to come out in 2006. With The Gates of Slumber securing a North
American label for the first time, the much-anticipated Conqueror is the band’s first album released domestically—and rightfully so, as it is their most
accomplished, tight, and focused to date. Featuring surging melodies, passionate vocals, crushing riffs, wailing solos and a storming rhythm section, the
epic Conqueror is a landmark release in underground metal.

Humanfly 2 721616802122 $14.97 CD Rock/Pop
2008 U.S. pressing of this release from the UK band featuring two bonus tracks: ‘Marakech’ and ‘An Intimate Battering’. Between Post-Metal, Psychedelic
Post-Rock and whatever ever other post-genre label gets writers juiced comes Leeds based riff merchants Humanfly. This release offer six vast, epic,
metallic journeys through huge NeurISIS style heaviness and Pink Floyd via Mogwai atmospherics. Tunes like ‘Echoes Of The Roman Empire’ and ‘Tjanargata
/ A Passage To Reykjavik’ are given ample space to breathe and build before inevitably crashing into a mountain of mammoth, celestial volume. With the
shortest track more than eight minutes and the longest over 13, each song is a two or three part saga within itself. Vocals are used sparingly focusing
primarily on building thematically through the music. 20 Buck Spin.
