Ripple Music to Begin Turned to Stone Split Series in Jan.; Mr. Bison & Spacetrucker Taking Part

I’ve been hearing word kicking around for a while that Ripple Music wanted to continue doing a series of splits after the conclusion of The Second Coming of Heavy, which wrapped up with its 10th and final installment this year, and the realization of that promise woulds seem to be taking shape in Turned to Stone. The first “chapter” — a theme continued from the prior series — is titled Enter Galactic Wasteland, and will feature Italy’s Mr. Bison and St. Louis’ Spacetrucker teamed up for a 12″. It was previously announced when Mr. Bison signed to Ripple earlier this year, but more details have now emerged, including the Jan. 17 release date and the cover art by none other than David Paul Seymour, whose work continues to be stunning in technique and use of color. Dude just gets it.

Interestingly, there won’t be preorders for Turned to Stone Chapter 1: Enter Galactic Wasteland, thereby making the onsale-moment something more of an event for those purchasing — the label advises “watch your clocks,” and that’s probably fair enough, if how fast the The Second Coming of Heavy LPs seemed to sell out. With so much focus these days on getting preorders up and in as a part of the promotion of upcoming records though, it’s a noteworthy shift in method. I’m curious to see if and how it works.
