2022 - 11 - 03 /// Holly Caught A Contact High tomorrow!

November 03, 2022 by David Norman

You better be quick tomorrow if you’re interested in one of these Holly Caught A Contact High releasing on Tomb Tree at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. The band has 25 copies and we have 25 copies, only 10 of each variant (pictured on the right) and 5 of the halfsies (pictured on the top). Ridiculously awesome mathcore/grind from a member of Colacon! Further surprise going down tomorrow after the drop!!!

Keratin announced their first release, also on Tomb Tree, today with a debut single “Survive snake” from the 5-song EP ‘Only Eyes” that releases in mid-December. Gorgeous yet heavy, it’s like Swedish night combined with Australian heat…or Suis La Lune/Nionde Plagan mixed with Gil Cerrone. Whatever’s easiest to digest! Thanks for the premiere Miss The Stars. Click on this link for the full post/premiere.

Finishing off the Tomb Tree news is the Works 12”LP reminder that released on November 1st. Stellar stuff for those that like bassy grooves and disjointed/mathy guitars.

Next on the Best Of (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) Podcast we’ve got Josh Jakubowski from Neil Perry, The Now, Joshua Fit For Battle, Hot Cross, etc. talking about what the hell was going on during the “porch scene” of the Neil Perry tour video. Hint: Munch’ems.

CanaDave did another Out Past the Rings, number 131 to be exact, for Euclid C Finder’s double EP cassette release we did way back in 2018. Copies left? Hellllllz no.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: ROMAN CANDLE = Ridiculous new EP from this Nevada-based band. Kinda Nuvolascura but a bit less techy.

VIRGIN MOTHER - Mourning Ritual (12"LP)

CA$35.00

VIRGIN MOTHER ‘Mourning Ritual’ 12”LP (TT078)

For fans of: An Autumn For Crippled Children, New Order, and Meth.

Over two years ago we released a short run of demo tapes titled ‘It Is’, and after much more writing, polishing, and expanding of the VIRGIN MOTHER sound, we are set to drop the brand new debut 12”LP ‘Mourning Ritual’ on Friday October 17th. Drawing cues from industrial, new wave, black metal, noise, screamo, punk, post-punk, and more, this deep, dark look into Seb’s subconscious and it’s subsequent artistic representation is truly a work of art. From the hellish, eerie, almost gothic-sounding intro of “[promised end]“ it becomes obvious that this album is meant to be consumed in full, with spiking adrenaline surges (see “I’d Never Feel Like Anything” and “Fault”), soothing/groovy vibes (“Traffic Stop” and “Black Light On 16th Street“), uncomfortable noise (“Vanity’s Sake“ and “Parasite“) and the epic genre-mashes (“Blossoming Winter” and “Field of Warmth“). Released on Tomb Tree. Ships mid-October.

Vinyl /113 on 180gram Eco-Grime. Includes sticker. 11 songs.
