Not gonna say I called it or anything, because that would’ve been a pretty specific call to make, but neither can I really say I’m surprised to find out Seattle trio Mother Crone‘s debut full-length, Awakening (review here), has been picked up for a vinyl release. It’ll be out later this year — I don’t even know how long vinyl takes to press anymore, so if you want to take a stab at that one, feel free — through DHU Records, which also took on vinyl duties for Year of the Cobra‘s EP and San Francisco trio Brume‘s debut, Donkey. At very least, Mother Crone will be in good company among other up and coming acts, and the label is proving to be one to keep an eye on as well.

So, you know, I guess I’ll try and do that.

Announcement and info, culled from the wilds of social media:

DHU is damn proud to announce the signing of Seattle’s own Mother Crone!! Awakening is definitely a major release from 2015 and the heavy ripples this album made are undeniable. Crushing grooves, feisty hooks and a rambunctious attitude made this a class A record that kicks your ass unmercifully! ‘Bout time Awakening got a proper vinyl release and DHU is honored to do this! Expect a red carpet treatment for this release that will blow your mind completely!

Now blast that sucka here: https://mothercrone.bandcamp.com/releases

Mother Crone is a Seattle based Metal band, conceived in 2012 as a platform to explore the journey of their collective consciousness. With solid guitar riffs, powerful vocals, and driving unconventional rhythmic conquests, Mother Crone offers a tasty blend of heavy, soulful, tumultuous rock. Touring music veterans Joseph Frothingham on guitar and vocals (Go Like Hell, Himsa and Witchburn), Jeremy Schulz / Walrusdrummer on drums (Barbie Car, Only Human and Hakai) and Joshua Hashman on bass (Vera Solaris) give us Mother Crone.
