Nebula Announce Charged Reissue & Demos & Outtakes 98-02 Compilation Release

Rumor has it that the reformed lineup of Nebula made a demo for six new songs in Slovenia and are setting to work on what will be the band’s first new album in a decade for release in 2019. And by ‘rumor,’ I mean that’s what the band said. In the meantime, Heavy Psych Sounds is continuing its exploration of the Californian heavy psych forebears’ past with a reissue of their 2001 second album, Charged, that’s been newly mastered by Matt Lynch of Snail, and the collection Demos & Outtakes 98-02 with previously unheard material that goes up for preorder this week.

Of course, Heavy Psych Sounds also reissued the band’s early work in Let it Burn (discussed here), To the Center (discussed here) and Dos EPs (discussed here), so both of the forthcoming outings are right in line with what started earlier this year. As to whether or not these will be the last Nebula archival outings, I wouldn’t know. If nothing else, there have to be some pretty killer live recordings out there. Just a thought.

When and if a new Nebula record surfaces, well, that’ll be super-duper. Sign me up. In the meantime, though, there’s plenty for longtime fans to chew on in revisiting what made them so special in the first place.

From the PR wire:

HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS RECORDS to release ‘Demos & Outtakes 98-02’ by legendary NEBULA

+ reissue the ‘Charged’ album in early 2019!

Heavy Psych Sounds Records & Booking is proud to announce the release of NEBULA’s ‘Demos & Outtakes 98-02’, as well as a re-mastered version of the band’s 2001’s album ‘Charged’!

Set for a release on January 25th 2019, the ‘Demos & Outtakes 98-02’ will include 5 tracks that have never seen the light of day before, alongside rare demos as well as cover songs such as a special live version of Black Flag’s ‘Nervous Breakdown’! Beside these never published demos to date, the known tracks on this album are different to what NEBULA originally released on their previous records like on their pathbreaking ‘Charged’ or ‘To The Center’. Some tracks were written and recorded in these sessions, some never made it on any of them or were used for B-sides and singles. And then we get songs such as ‘Whalefinger’ which has been the first song Eddie Glass ever wrote and which originally made it on a 7” B-side by Olivelawn, where Eddie has been playing drums for.

The Pre-Order for this MUST-HAVE gem in every NEBULA and genre-collection will start on November 29th, in the following available album formats:

– 25 TEST PRESS
– 250 LTD TRANSPARENT RED VINYL
– 500 GREY SPLATTER (Red/Black/Blue) VINYL
– BLACK VINYL
– CD DIGIPAK
– DIGITAL DOWNLOAD

The tracklist of NEBULA’s ‘Demos & Outtakes 98-02’ will read as follows:

1. Stagnant Pool ( ’00/01 demo, Leaf Hound cover )
2. Whalefinger ( ’02 demo )
3. Humbucker ( ’99 demo )
4. Smokin’ Woman ( ’98 demo )
5. Sun Creature ( ’98 demo )
6. You Got It ( ’02 demo )
7. To The Center ( ’99 demo )
8. Synthetic Dream ( ’99 demo )
9. How Does It Feel To Feel? ( ’99 demo, The Creation cover )
10. Nervous Breakdown ( Live ’02, Black Flag cover )

Furthermore, Heavy Psych Sounds has just announced to reissue NEBULA’s legendary ‘Charged’ album, originally released back in 2001 on Sub Pop Records! This new album version has been re-mastered by SNAIL’s bassist and NEBULA’s longtime sound engineer Matt Lynch.

‘Charged’ was the second full-length album by the stoner rock legends, it’s also the last album featuring former Fu Manchu bandmate, Mark Abshire, on bass and before the original band lineup re-united in 2018. The third album track ‘Giant’ was featured in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 and will be also found as a demo bonus song on the re-mastered 2019-CD album version. ‘Charged’ is still considered as one of NEBULA’s most important and distinctive records to date. A heavy fuzz rock trip into the desert, a wheel of hot lava, and the sheer power of almighty riffs only an act like NEBULA could have ever created!

The tracklist for ‘Charged’ reads as follows:

1. Do It Now
2. Beyond
3. Giant
4. Travelin’ Man’s Blues
5. Instant Gravitation
6. This One
7. Ignition
8. Shaker
9. Goodbye Yesterday
10. All The Way
11. Giant ( Demo Bonus Track, available on CD only )
12. Cosmic Egg ( Bonus Track, available on CD only )

Coming as CD, Vinyl and Digital Download on February 8th 2019 , the pre-order for NEBULA’s ‘Charged’ will start on November 29th at Heavy Psych Sounds in the following formats:
