New Black Horizons - WOLFMANGLER + more

black horizons is one of the most consistently awesome labels around. not only does james put out incredible music, he designs all the packaging and does a great job with it. his design skills are nothing short of stellar. so i'm always pretty excited when he's got some new stuff out, especially when one of those releases is a vinyl version of a CD we put out on digitalis. the lowdown:

You can get all three for $35 domestic $48 Intl

BH-20 Josh Lay - Asphyxiation Worship 7" $6.66

1/3 of Cadaver in Drag gets his first shot at vinyl by way of a single. Two tracks, rather different from each other, and much of the artist's other releases. Overall a cleaner, and more realized sound. Vocals come to the front, with lyrical structure on the first track, the b-side is a journey into the darkest of swamps, yet it still retains the feeling of being a beautiful yet frightening collage of sound with a higher degree of fidelity than what is usually associated with similar efforts. Black vinyl with an offset printed 3-panel sleeve, copper ink on either black or cream stock, printed in roughly a 50/50 ratio, pick which color you like more! Edition of 350 copies.

BH-22 Wolfmangler - Cooking with Wolves LP $16.66

This is the vinyl edition of Wolfmangler's CD release on Digitalis Industries, minus the bonus tracks. The core tracks of the release make for a perfect LP. This has been extensively written up all over the place, so I won't go into detail, expect avant folk by way of doom metal depression. All acoustic. Packaged in a silkscreened glue pocket sleeve, red and silver on black stock, same as the CD version, but with expanded art. Includes 3 inserts, screened in the same colors with printed labels. Edition of 500, 250 on black and 250 on red.

BH-24 Lngtche - Lnghex 2 x C77 $15.00

Musique Concrete done in the evilest way possible, with a skillfully arranged assortment of sounds; flies circling a corpse, drone metal from the distance, disturbed breath, minimal tones, field recordings, and intense cut ups. This is the entire unreleased efforts from this project out of Spain, only one other CDr has been released. Two color silkscreened covers, metallic black and silver on black textured paper, in a black vinyl album. Edition of 50 copies on hi bias chrome tapes.
what more could you want? and i'll vouge for the awesomeness of the lngtche tapes as well as i got those from some distro recently (tomentosa?). evil musique concrete indeed... something the world could certainly use more of. james also promises 5 new tapes soon. get it all HERE.
