I know I’ve said this before, but I continue to believe there’s something extra rad about a four-way split. Two, generally pretty cool, but often leads to a sense of one band competing with the other or at least a tendency on the part of the listener to compare them, which is just the same thing from the other side. Three, well fine as long as you don’t have any intention toward vinyl. But a four-way 2LP split breaks up in a satisfying way, as everybody gets to showcase their aural wares on their own side, and there’s usually enough breadth of personality between the four bands that the listener is more inclined to take everything as it comes. As Worst Bassist Records showed with three first installment of the four-way split series International Space Station (review here) in 2022, ‘take it as it comes’ is precisely the best way to go in hearing it.

Jointly released through Weird Beard Records in the UK and Echodelick Records in the US, and I believe available to preorder from all of them, International Space Station Vol. 2 once again brings together an intercontinental assemblage in Verstärker (from the US, despite the maybe-misleading umlaut), Kombynat Robotron and Sarkh (from Germany), and Speck (from Austria), and everybody but Kombynat Robotron already has a song streaming. And Kombynat Robotron aren’t being jerks or holdouts or whathaveyou, but they’ve only got one song on their side. Fair enough up keep it under wraps for now.

If you do want to hear that — and we both know you do — come back Aug. 19, as I’ll be streaming the album in full that day with what I’m sure will be a duly slobbering review full of obscure Star Trek references and cosmic buzzwords picked up from the PBS S0ace Time science videos my daughter watches with ironically religious fervor. So it’ll be awesome, in other words.

For now, art, info and copious linkage follow. Engage:

The long awaited vol. 2 of the Intrernational Space Station arrives!

2-LP in a fat gatefold cover, colored wax, limited to 500
LP 1: orange wax
LP 2: blue wax
CD in digisleeve lim. 100

Four international bands (Verstärker, Kombynat Robotron, Speck, Sarkh) contributing 1 LP side each, instrumental, about how to watch the ISS crossing their skies from time to time… or being overwhelmed by the rough beauty of the ocean…

Long and psychedelic tracks pulsating through space and try to follow the way of the space station around our globe and even beyond, to contribute you the opportunity to travel through your inner cosmosis while listening, only interrupted by the needle lifting, which could just be some stops at random interstellar stations, to release and gain passengers.

2-LP in a fat gatefold cover, colored wax, limited to 500

LP 2: blue wax

Out via Worst Bassist (DE+World), Echodelick (USA) and Weird Beird (UK)

Verstärker

Verstärker from Kentucky, USA, play monotonic motorik sound, surrounded by soundscapes and beautiful noise.

Groove, shifts, scapes, beauty, intensity, it’s all there.

Kombynat Robotron

Germany’s high flying neo-krautrockers continue on side B with their floating and dynamic longtrack.

Speck

Side C kicks off with Austria’s instrumental psychedelic mantra jammers Speck, who created a journey through mind and space until…

Sarkh

… the ISS takes another turn over Germany and brings you a force of nature to end all this, with side D.

You’ll be torn apart and re-built again through the heavy and yet delightful instrumentals.

2. Verstärker – Kvant
3. Kombynat Robotron – Montan

Various Artists, International Space Station Vol. 2 (2024)

A few obvious reasons to post Child‘s upcoming Euro/UK tour dates. One, it’s their first time on the continent since before the pandemic, and that was long enough ago that the western world seems to have forgotten not to cough and sneeze all over each other. Two, they’re traveling from their home base in Melbourne, Australia, and that’s an awfully long way to go. Three, they’re supporting their 2023 album, Soul Murder (review here), which is their best work to-date, and has been pressed up along with the rest of their catalog through Heavy Psych Sounds for your merch-table perusal. Four, they’re set to appear as part of the frankly-stunning lineup of Desertfest Belgium as well as Heavy Psych Sounds Fest in Germany (x2) and the UK, as well as the Westill Festival in France. And five, there are open dates and if you’re seeing this and you can help out, I encourage you to do so, both as a moral good serving the greater universe and in order to give yourself what will probably be a rad, bluesy-as-hell show.

I think that about covers it.

France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Belgium, England. Seems like there’s room to sneak a Netherlands show in there, maybe Switzerland, Scotland? I don’t route tours, which is difficult and largely thankless work, but you can see where they’re headed below as of now. You can be the one who steps in with a gig. The magic is in you. It always has been.

Child, Soul Murder (2023)

Founding guitarist/vocalist Yukito Okazaki of Nagoya, Japan’s Eternal Elysium has announced a new rhythm section for the long-running doom rocker outfit. Drummer Ume and bassist Togawa comprise the refreshed incarnation of the classic-heavy-influenced trio, whose most recent offering was the 2019 live album, 末​世​の​葬​礼 贰 现场 (The Last Days of the Funeral 2: Live), released through Dying Art Productions. Eternal Elysium had been working with Ukrainian imprint Robustfellow on a couple of catalog reissues as well, and the band’s most recent studio LP is Resonance of Shadows (review here), which first saw release in 2016 on Cornucopia Records before Headspin Records pressed it as a 2LP the next year.

Okazaki talks about working on new (and old) material for gigs in Japan later this year, and of course the prospect of the next Eternal Elysium LP — it’d be their seventh; how nobody has reissued 2000’s Spiritualized D is a mystery in my head — is an exciting one, whenever, if ever, such a thing might surface. Either way, a check-in from the band is an excuse to put on the live record, and I’ll take it happily.

Here’s the announcement from socials. Pretty straightforward:

ETERNAL ELYSIUM Relaunched with new members.

Drummer is a friend Ume.

Carrying the groove of Eternal again after great experience and practice.

The bassist is Togawa from Azarak.

FROM BOTTOM TO COLOR WE CREATE WITH A CERTAIN TOUCH.

And me Okazaki.

This dependable rhythm section helped me out again the sound of Eternal Elysium.

Now I’m rehearsing for my first live show in a while. Getting some fun with some new and old intertwined songs, getting them done little by little.

Two live shows have been decided for the year: Tokyo in October and Nagoya in December.

I’m grateful for the performance.

This will be your chance to experience the new EE sound. Details to follow.

First thanking myself for how far I’ve come.

Nice to meet you.

Eternal Elysium, 末​世​の​葬​礼 贰 现场 (2019)

Not going to feign impartiality here. The upcoming Elephant Tree and Lowrider split LP, The Long Forever, is one I’ve lived with for a while. It’s the final release of Blues Funeral Recordings‘ PostWax Vol. II, and a while in the making to say the least. As As has been the case since PostWax’s inception, I’ve handled liner notes — they’ll also be included with the wider release this time, which is fair in context — for the offering, and I don’t mind telling you it was the most difficult time I’ve ever had putting such a thing together.

I spoke to Elephant Tree‘s Jack Townley and Lowrider‘s Peder Bergstrand, and I count both as friends, but it was a hard story to tell between Jack nearly losing his life in a biking accident and the pressure on both bands to deliver after second albums one could arguably call landmarks arriving in much different contexts, both trying to do new things in terms of sound. There being more narrative than room to recount it was only part of the problem. Yeah. I’ll be honest. The notes got turned in like a month and a half ago and I’m still kind of sweating over being dissatisfied with my end of the work. I both hope I get a copy of the CD (in addition to the PostWax edition vinyl) and never see the finished product of those notes printed. A familiar-enough anxiety, heightened in this instance.

Fortunately, I’m relieved to say that backdrop has done precious little to sap my enjoyment of the tracks themselves, which put The Long Forever in obvious, feel-dumb-even-saying-so contention for the best short release of the year (yes, it’s full-length, but I count splits as short releases; if you care, next time we meet in person you can punch me in the face over it). Elephant Tree‘s video for “Long Forever” is streaming now, and I encourage you not to delay in checking it out. I’ll shut the fuck up in order to facilitate.

Info from the PR wire:

Like two timelines converging, ELEPHANT TREE and LOWRIDER come together to present the collaborative album “The Long Forever,” easily one of the most eagerly awaited split releases in the history of heavy rock.

Arriving in the wake of two landmark 2020 releases (“Habits” from Elephant Tree and “Refractions” from Lowrider), “The Long Forever” finds both bands at critical junctures: each has a broad and expanding influence, each is revered onstage and off, and each is delivering its first proper new release in four years to tremendous anticipation.

Despite that pressure, Elephant Tree and Lowrider have seized the opportunity to redefine who they are and declare where their musical voyages will go next.

Bringing these bands onto a shared collaborative platter would be an event regardless of the surrounding circumstances. As it is, though, the significance of this album is even greater.

“The Long Forever” takes its title from the nickname Elephant Tree singer/guitarist Jack Townley gave to the multi-week coma he was kept in for medical reasons following a near-fatal biking accident in early 2023. Dreaming without waking and losing all sense of time as his mind attempted to process and cope with the ordeal, that lyrical description can only hint at the enormity of Jack’s experience.

And yet, the year or so that followed manifested a musical freedom in the bands’ respective approaches. Lowrider has grown more complex and expressive, while Elephant Tree has chosen a rawer, set-up-the-mics-and-go approach.

“The Long Forever” is the vehicle through which the bands meet, subverting and superseding the expectations on them, with a traumatic nexus as the gravitational singularity around which the entire LP orbits, bending and shaping every note that escapes forth.

In the end, perseverance, healing and stubbornness of passion made “The Long Forever” a reality. We hope fans will listen with open minds and love in their hearts!

Elephant Tree & Lowrider, The Long Forever (2024)

Elephant Tree, “Long Forever” official video

Stockholm newcomers Möuth have signed to Bonebag Records to release their debut album, Global Warning, either later this year or early in 2025. Let’s assume Winter 2025 to be on the safe side, with the acknowledgement that if it happens sooner, that’s not a hardship. The announcement came through last week, and when I tried to find some audio or video to go with it through the ancient Gen-X technology that used to be called ‘googling,’ none was to be had. I hit Bonebag honcho Max Malmer (who also plays in doom conceptualists Cavern Deep) to ask for some assistance in that regard, it turned out not just to be my standard incompetence but also the fact that there wasn’t any. “Holy Ground,” which you’ll find premiering on the player below, would seem to be their first single.

I don’t know much more about the band than is in the post from Malmer under the YouTube embed — their singer’s name is Erik, and apparently he went to Duna Jam, so at least I know I’m jealous — but they’ll play Krökbacken in Dalarna, Sweden, this week (July 25-27) alongside Maha Sohona, Astroqueen, Siena Root, Ocean Chief, I Am Low and a slew of others, and “Holy Ground” gives some idea of what they might be about in a relatively straight-ahead shove spanning four and a half minutes that has something a little more sinister underlying its central riff. You can hear a little stately black metal twist in the lead lines of the intro, which comes back around after the first verse/chorus, and the organ that comes forward after the break/stop likewise speaks to some darker atmospheric aspect amid the heavy rock thrust. They top it off with a mix of solo and stomp and land in feedback to finish, and when it’s done I find myself waiting for the next piece to kick in as it might on Global Warning when it arrives. Momentum, then, is already on their side.

Before I turn you over to the track, I’ll note that Möuth are not to be confused with German heavy progressive/psych rockers Mouth (sans umlaut), who’ve been written about a fair bit around these parts. New band, coming from someplace else both geographically and stylistically. Just a heads up to avoid any confusion.

And you know what? I like new bands. I like new music. Check out something you haven’t heard before today. Maybe it’ll resonate. Maybe you’ll hear that claw-ready edge here and wonder how it pans out on the record to come, or just what it is they’re warning the globe about. “Holy Ground” is an evocative introduction. Let yourself go with it and see where you end up. I ended up looking forward to more.

As always, I hope you enjoy:

Möuth, “Holy Ground” track premiere

We are we very proud to welcome Möuth into the Bonebag Records family!

I got shown Möuth by the singer Erik at Duna Jam this year and was completely blown away and knew there and then that we would have to sign them.

They are performing [this] week at Krökbacken and the plan is to put out some music with them before that and their full debut album will release here on Bonebag Records 2024/2025.

Bringing together a wealth of experience from diverse musical backgrounds, the dynamic trio of long-time friends united forces to birth Möuth in the fall of 2023. Infusing their passion for proto metal, psych, doom and alternative rock with a flair for skillful song-craft and a rebellious punk ethos, Möuth crafts a potent blend of raw energy and refined artistry. Their forthcoming debut album, ‘Global Warning’, slated for release in 2024/2025, promises to deliver a sonic onslaught of themes ranging from personal liberation to societal critique, all underscored by Möuth’s signature fusion of directness and sophistication.

We hope that you are as excited as we are.

Okay, so I’ll readily admit that this isn’t so much a release announcement as it is information I swiped from Sun Blood Stories‘ Bandcamp page — no audio yet, hence the video at the bottom, which cuts the visual feed but resumes it a short while later — but the point stands that what seems to be coming is a new studio full-length from the Portland-via-Boise transplant heavy-psych/experimentalist-indie outfit, and it will be their first since 2019’s Haunt Yourself (review here), as well as their first since the aforementioned relocation. I have no further details than what’s below, but if you remember the band from the Before Times, I hope you’re as stoked to find out what they’ve been up to as I am.

And if not, well, okay. Maybe take a look at that clip, which was filmed at a radio station and captures the band’s noise-infused, immersive and emotionally-fueled live set. It’s 24 minutes, and that’s not a little ask out of your day, I know, but once you start it, it’s easy to keep going, and that’s kind of been the tale of Sun Blood Stories all along. If you’re adventurous enough to take them on in the first place, the rewards for doing so are manifold.

Here’s that info:

SBS is still here after 12 years. We are fueled by paranoia & hope, wonder & rage, & we do what we do like it’s the last time we’ll do it because one day, it will be.

Over the years the band has taken on many forms. We are now in the sixth chapter of the Sun Blood story.

Sun Blood Stories, Live at RDR The Kennel

Desert Records comes back strong with the next installment of its ongoing Legends of the Desert split series, going high-desert with the mountainous sounds of The Otolith and Eagle Twin, both based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The pairing, well, rules. Eagle Twin‘s last album, The Thundering Heard (Songs of Hoof and Horn) (review here), came out in 2018, while The Otolith‘s debut, Folium Limina (review here), showed up in 2022, through Southern Lord and Blues Funeral, respectively. But neither is an album-a-year-type outfit, so the fact that they’ve joined forces for Legends of the Desert Vol. 4 is pretty special even before you get to the music. Not the kind of thing that would happen every day, is what I’m saying.

Preorders will run through Kickstarter starting on Friday (July 26), and while there’s no audio yet, the release date of Sept. 20 has been set. Glad to have an excuse to revisit records from both Eagle Twin and The Otolith today (see the bottom of the post) in the meantime, and looking forward to what’s coming.

LEGENDS of the DESERT: Volume 4 Featuring EAGLE TWIN and THE OTOLITH

We couldn’t be more honored and excited to announce that our flagship split series is back 🌵This time with two of Utah’s heavyweights!

🏜️On Friday, July 26th the Kickstarter campaign begins.

Eagle Twin is an American metal band formed in Salt Lake City, Utah by singer/guitarist Gentry Densley and drummer Tyler Smith. Eagle Twin’s music could be broadly classified as doom metal or sludge metal, but also touches on progressive rock, blues rock, jazz fusion and psychedelic rock, featuring lengthy instrumental passages and Densley’s gruff, half-chanted vocals, which occasionally veer into overtone singing.

When celebrated Salt Lake City band SubRosa announced its breakup in 2019, the heavy music community felt the loss of their uniquely elegant and intensely heavy atmospheric doom devotionals. Rather than wonder what velvet darkness might still await, however, four of SubRosa’s members swiftly emerged as a new entity called The Otolith. Following the same muse of cataclysmic melancholy, The Otolith is here to encircle you in the fire of their passion for heavy music.

Eagle Twin, The Thundering Heard (Songs of Hoof and Horn) (2018)

The Otolith, Folium Limina (2022)

So release show at Roadburn, maybe? Anyone wanna take bets? It wouldn’t be their first, mind you. A third studio full-length from the Tom G. Warrior-led Triptykon, if it manifests in 2025 — it’s a big crazy world and a lot can happen between now and then — would be 11 years after the band’s preceding Melana Chasmata, though they also had the commissioned project at the aforementioned Roadburn in 2019. Anyway, anywhere, however it comes, that’s an event, and one to look forward to. We’re more than halfway through 2024 now, somewhat astonishingly. I don’t have a 2025 most-anticipated list yet in my notes. Triptykon are a good first one for it.

The announcement was made with due formality on social media:

Triptykon Confirm Work On New Album

After an extended period of frantic inactivity on the recording front, Swiss/German avant-garde extreme metal group Triptykon are convening in 2024 to focus on the completion and recording of material for the band’s long-awaited fourth album.

The album is scheduled to be released by long-time music industry partners Century Media Records/Sony Music Entertainment in 2025. For this purpose, Triptykon (via the group’s own label Prowling Death Records) signed a new, vastly enhanced licensing agreement with CMR/SME on 1 June 2024. It is likely that an EP or onstage glimpses of Triptykon’s new music will precede the album.

Once the songwriting and arrangement sessions at the band’s base in Zurich, Switzerland, are concluded to the band’s satisfaction, Triptykon will relocate to guitarist V. Santura’s own studios in Bavaria, Germany, to conduct recording and mixing sessions. The album will again be produced by V. Santura and Tom Gabriel Warrior.

In light of the fact that Triptykon was established as the direct successor to Celtic Frost, there also exists an emblematic undertone to these sessions, as they are taking place exactly 40 years after Celtic Frost commenced work on that band’s debut album, “Morbid Tales”.

Triptykon: Tom Gabriel Warrior (voice/guitar), Vanja Slajh (bass), V. Santura (guitar/vocals), Hannes Grossmann (drums/percussion). Triptykon are managed by Miles Hackett and represented by Jörg Düsedau for Dragon Productions.

Triptykon’s previous album releases: “Eparistera Daimones” (2010), “Melana Chasmata” (2014), “Requiem – Live At Roadburn 2019” (2020).
