Last I looked there were 58 copies of Doomtopia left available for preorder ahead of the album’s upcoming official vinyl release. They will, one assumes, be gone in short order if they aren’t already. The second full-length from Portland, Oregon’s The Misery Men is seeing issue through Desert Records, which, yes, is well aware that Portland is nowhere near the desert. Some things transcend landscape, and you know Desert Records is all about the expanded definition anyway, so the four-song long-player — which earns through vibe its “Type O Negative green” vinyl coloration — is plenty at home one way or the other.

The band self-released Doomtopia digitally on April 20, because of course, so you can stream the full thing now at the bottom of this post. Seems only to be an enticement to order the vinyl version, if the green itself wasn’t.

The label posted the following:

The Misery Men – Doomtopia – Desert Records

Desert Records has teamed up with The Misery Men for a very special VINYL LP release.

The alliance with the Pacific Northwest has been forged.

Hailing from Portland, OR and led by my longtime friend Corey G Lewis, THE MISERY MEN are a very unique band with some badass personnel.

“Doomtopia” the 2nd album by the Doom/Grunge band was recorded by ROB WRONG of Witch Mountain and was mastered by BILLY ANDERSON, the legendary engineer for such bands as Sleep, (the) Melvins, High On Fire, Neurosis, Witch Mountain, Acid King.

100 extremely Limited Edition Vinyl LP’s will be pressed in “Type O Negative Green”!
