Ideally, this news would’ve gone up last friday, which marked the release of Toner Low‘s 2005 debut album on vinyl for the first time. Quantities are limited, but still available in either orange or black 180 gram double-LP through the recently-launched White Dwarf Records.

This band needs to put out a new record like nobody’s business, but the self-titled remains a shining orange beacon of heavy righteousness. If you haven’t heard it yet, an orange vinyl copy might just be the way to go.

Dig it:

Finally the debut album by Dutch psychedelic doomstoners TONER LOW will get its long awaited reissue on limited double vinyl in November 2012 on White Dwarf (Berlin, Germany).

Originally released in June 2005 on cd by the bandmember’s DIY-label Roadkill Rekordz, the vinyl version of this classic piece of one of Holland’s finest stonerdoom releases got first available in December 2006 at Freebird. The double album sold out quickly, but demand for it from the world-wide stonerdoom scene never waned. Luckily White Dwarf now decided to listen to those demands and gives TONER LOW’s self-titled debut its much deserved re-release.

TONER LOW started the recordings of their first album in a studio in Leiden in June 2004, laying down the drumtracks. Guitars, bass, vocals, samples and sounds were added in several periods in 2004 and 2005. Early June 2005 mastering took place at Electric City in Brussels by the legendary Alan Ward (Astrosoniq, Cowboys & Aliens, Within Temptation and many others). TONER LOW’s debut double album takes its listener on a 54-minutes doomed stoner trip through heavy guitars, slow-riding drums, long instrumental riffing, low-frequency bassparts, distorted vocals, repetitive hypnotizing themes, psychedelic sound effects, alienating samples and minimalistic soundscapes. All elements combined create an album that sounds close to unique and has to be listened to as one journey, kicking off with the upcoming feedback and coming to a close in audio-psychedelica.”
