Malachi / The Bastard Noise- The Immortals

From Thumbprint///

THIS SPLIT MARKS A DEDICATED CONTINUATION OF EXCELLENCE IN DELIVERY AND CONCEPT FROM MILWAUKEE's MALACHI AS WELL AS A CHANGE IN DIRECTION FOR THE BASTARD NOISE. MALACHI SURROUNDS WITH TWO UNCOMPROMISING ORCHESTRAL COMPOSITIONS THAT ARE BOTH STUNNING IN THIER APPEAL. THE BASTARD NOISE LINE UP IS JOINED BY A DEBUT OF L. RAUF AND IT DELIVERS TWO ALTOGETHER DELICATE COMPOSITIONS THAT SEEM AN ATTEMPT AT DESCRIBING NATURE ON A UNIVERSAL SCALE WITH THE VAST DISTANCES BETWEEN OBJECTS ONLY TRAVERSED BY LIGHT ITSELF; A GLITTERING OF LONG-SINCE MORIBUND STARS FROM EONS BEFORE IT WAS SEEN BY MAN.BOTH UNITS STRIVE FOR THE EPIC IN THEIR OWN MANNER.

Specs:

The Bastard Noise / Malachi
1. Pain Trials
2. Post Conflict Dream
3. Five
4. Elemental Decay

200mg/Hear More & Housepig are proud to present the newest deep-space directives from Bastard Noise & Malachi. The BN line-up is composed of NELSON/WOOD/RAUF and treads similar territory as the Rogue Astronaut. Malachi hails from Milwaukee and consists of Artimus Pyle/What Happens Next?/High On Crime members bringing a slow rumbling of cello-infused creeping doom. THE IMMORTALS ARE UPON US. $8 PPD USA. Euro distros soon.

New Releases Update

I am working on the finishing touches for the next 3 releases:

Two Dark Birds- (Here Come The) Gloomtown Rockers CD
Acoustic tracks from Steve Koester of Punchdrunk/Koester/Maplewood fame. Dark folk for those whiskey soaked nights...

Messiah Complex- Incomplete Trephination 2xCDr
Two long tracks of nightmare inducing death-noise from my Scottish mates. A slow creeping build up to the explosive final feels like a fatal brain tumor. You will want a skull scraping after a trip through this one.

Nicholas Szczepanik- Constant & Variable CDr
200mg is proud to present Nicholas' follow-up to 'Astilbe' on Small Doses. Pure dream-like dronescapes give way to a sandpaper like consistency then flow back to a soft crash landing. Reminds me of classic-era Tony Conrad.

After that if all goes right, Gargotheron & The Lonely Procession

Stay tuned...
