Buried at Sea: Migration 2LP Reissue Available to Preorder
Posted in Whathaveyou on October 14th, 2015 by JJ Koczan
Some 12 years after its original release, Buried at Sea‘s debut and only full-length, Migration, continues to resonate, and really, it’s no wonder. To be as straightforward about it as possible, Migration was one of the heaviest records ever released, in doom or out of it, and after more than a decade it still provides a measure of heft that very, very few can live up to. The band’s last release was the Ghost EP, which came out in 2007 on Neurot, and boasted a more atmospheric take, but on Dec. 18, War Crime Recordings will reissue Migration as a three-sided 2LP (the last side will be etched), and no doubt claim the lives of turntables worldwide.
To coincide, Buried at Sea will head out on a West Coast tour next month, starting at the Midnite Communion III and heading north from there as far up as Vancouver before turning back to Chicago, where six days later they’ll meet up with two of that city’s finest in The Atlas Moth and Sweet Cobra for a hometown gig. Details follow, as sent down the PR wire:
Chicago Cult Doomsters, Buried At Sea announce Migration LP reissue
Migration, the debut album from Chicago’s cult doom/drone band, BURIED AT SEA, will see its first vinyl pressing come December 18th, 2015.
