Ascend - "Ample Fire Within" CD

ASCEND is a new collaborative musical project between Gentry Densley (Iceburn, Eagle Twin) and Greg Anderson (sunn 0))), Goatsnake, Engine Kid).

Both have been making music that has crossed paths several times in the last 19 years.(!!!) The most notable being during the 90s when Andersons’ band Engine Kid toured with and shared a split album with Densleys’ band Iceburn. During that time both were heavily experimenting with the fusion of jazz (Mahavishnu Orchestra, Miles Davis, John Coltrane) and the dark behemoth tones of influences such as The Melvins, Gore, Slint, and the Caspar Brötzmann Massaker.

ASCEND re-visits some of the tones, and moods of their past works as well as traveling into uncharted territory all done with the utmost focus on heaviness and power.

Special guest appearances on this album by Andy Patterson (drums), Steve Moore (aka Stebmo, also in Earth and often times : sunn 0))) ) trombone, organ and wurlitzer, Bubba Dupree (Void) guitar AND none other than Kim Thayil (Soundgarden) put down some incredible lead work! The packaging and layout was created by Stephen O' Malley with a homage to our favorite jazz records of the past from labels like ECM and Impulse! (Multi-panel digi-pac w/ booklet inserted.)

Pentemple- 0))) Presents.....

In May of 2007 thee mighty SUNN 0))) embarked on a Pacific Rim tour that included performances in Australia and Japan. The lineup for this tour included the core sunn 0))) duo: Greg Anderson and Stephen O'Malley plus T.O.S. (Moog), Oren Ambarchi (analog effects and supplemental guitar) and vokillist Attila Csihar. Upon arrival in Melbourne, Australia, sunn 0))) invited one of their favorite black metal artists: Striborg over from Tasmania (!!!) to collaborate with them during their show. This unholy meeting went over very well and the inaugural ritual was a warm up gig at the Toft in Town club one evening before the larger gig at the Hi-Fi Bar (w/ brethren: Boris).

The results of this collaboration was a completely improvisational, vicious audio and visual assault on the sold out, standing room only audience! Striborg really blew all of us way with not only his wicked vocal invocations but also his incredibly skillful drumming! This was among the first time that sunn 0))) had worked with live drums and the outcome was completely unprecedented. The whole event was recorded live to 24-track/multi-track. Afterwards Oren Ambarchi edited, sequenced and overhauled the EQ to make it as brutal as possible. This blackened low-end psychedelic war is not for the faint of heart!

This cd release is strictly limited to 3,000 machine numbered copies. It will NOT last long. $12

Boris-"Smile" CD+DVD (special 2 disc set LTD. edition mailorder version)

The wait is over! With this brand new studio album from Boris' the group plays deeply intense blistering psychedelia with mammoth hooks and truly innovative song-writing. Smile is a reinvention of dark heaviness. Smile presents a new sound from Boris which represents everything that is RIGHT NOW.

Boris hope "this is going to be a new experience for everyone beyond music 'Features collaborations with special guests: Stephen O' Malley (sunn0))), KTL), and Michio Kurihara (Ghost, White Heaven, The Stars). The Southern Lord version is drastically different than the version of Smile released by Daymare records in Japan. The main difference between the Southern Lord version and the Daymare version is the mix of the actual songs themselves. Where the songs on the Japanese version have a more electronic or noisy-psychedelic vibe, the North American/European version here features a heavier more straight-forward rock aesthetic. Its truly remarkable how the band consciously have set out (and achieved) to make two completely different sounding versions of the same album. It is a testament to their continual, endless well-spring of creativity! The Southern Lord version also features a track that has never been heard by anyone! : "You Were Holding an Umbrella". We purposely left this song off any promo versions in order to prevent the entire album from being leaked online.

Besides this phenomenal album we are offering a exclusive bonus dvd to our mail-order customers. The DVD contains videos for the songs: "Statement" , My Neighbor Satan", and "Pink". It is packaged in a 2xcd case with the Smile cd and has a individually machine-numbered sticker on the front. Only 3,000 were manufactured.

Time to turn that frown upside down...(ok well maybe just for a little while! hahahahahah)

Boris w/ Merzbow-"Rock Dream" 3xLP

The ultra-deluxe 180 gram TRIPLE vinyl with Tri-Fold (3 pocket gatefold) DIE-CUT sleeve of the "Rock Dream" collaboration album from Boris and Merzbow! A live, psychedelic, mind expanding collaboration between Boris and the legendary Japanese master of abrasion: MERZBOW!

The two entities are no stranger to collaborative releases and their symmetrical chemistry burns a brightly shining path on this special release. What makes the Boris w/ Merzbow collaboration particularly interesting is that both Boris and Merzbow seem to leave behind the expected to fully embrace the unknown. The usually harsh, corrosive grate of Merzbow is not as apparent with Boris involved. Also the inspired charge of the Boris rock machine seems to reach new heights with Merzbows' intuitive textures added. This is however not entirely free-form. In fact the structure of this is what sets it apart from the majority of Merzbow related releases and collaborations. Boris assionately play their songs as they appear on the albums, but with Merzbow sharing the stage the result transcends the usual conventions of "rock-song" structure. In the end all musicians have created sounds and atmosphere that retains qualities of each group yet takes the listener to a new plateau.

Vinyl version contains the bonus track: "Dyno-Saur" not available on the cd version! Elaborate and beautiful packaging designed by Stephen O'Malley. This is as elaborate and visually stunning (if not more!) as our last Boris release: "Altar" (w/ sunn 0)))). It truly needs to be seen to be believed! Our printer vows to never ever make anything like this again as it was painfully time-consuming and took forever to get just right!

A little over 3800 of these were manufactured in total. Mail-order customers will receive the 180 gram BLACK vinyl version (1000 pressed).

Priced as follows:

USA = $32
MEXICO= $37
EUROPE= $55

Lurker of Chalice - S/T re-issue (digi-pac version)

RE-ISSUE WITH BONUS TRACK OF THIS NOW CLASSIC RARE RELEASE FROM: LURKER OF CHALICE!

The debut album from LOC was originally released as a numbered, limited edition cd by Southern Lord. It immediately sold out and has now become a very sought after release. This re-issue features new packaging (a digi-pac) and a bonus track that was previously only available on the limited vinyl version. For those who are discovering this darkness for the first time, here are some words we wrote in regards to the original limited edition cd release:

LEVIATHAN creator: WREST, steps above and below his usual recording evokation of Leviathan to unleash a entirely different incarnate: LURKER OF CHALICE. With Leviathan: Wrest has poisoned the US Black Metal Underground with several now legendary works of pure black art. However their are many more layers and worlds of darkness for this artist to explore and contaminate the audio canals of the unsuspecting. `With Lurker of Chalice Wrest takes a nearly gothic approach to some of his vokills. Incorporating melodies and harmonies that although just as bleak as previous works, create a unique grim atmosphere that explores the subtle dynamics of darkness unlike anything hes' done in the past. The songs are all composed and solely performed by WREST. Some of the songs are as reminiscent of : Fields Of The Nephilim (Elizium era) and Bauhaus as they are of black metal artists like: Blut Aus Nord, Emperor, or Burzum. Indeed it still reaks of Black Metal but this material drags you through new lows that are rarely reached by nowadays orthodox black metal acts.

Lair of the Minotaur-"War Metal Battle Master" CD (Limited Edition, numbered version)

Lair of the Minotaurs third full length on Southern Lord Records, WAR METAL BATTLE MASTER is a concept album about solving conflicts with a big fucking axe! Recorded at Volume Studios in Chicago by Sanford Parker (Pelican, Unearthly Trance, Venomous Concept) and mastered by Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer member). The songs are a mix of the thrashing aggression & mega-riffage of the previous album: The Ultimate Destroyer and the unrelenting beatings & Sabbath chugs of Carnage, mixed with a new emotionless ferocity reserved for an executioner. In standard Southern Lord fashion the packaging of this album is epic...featuring illustrations by Jeremy Mohler and layout by Seldon Hunt. The CD contains a 20 page booklet with graphic illustrations for each song.

Mail-order customers will receive a special limited, and machine numbered version that contains a download card inside that allows access to an entire live show of the band kicking ass in all their glory in their hometown of Chicago!

Earth-"The Bees Made Honey In The Lions Skull" CD

Earth's latest incarnation has arrived. The band returns once again to it's continuing evolution. Where "Hex" reveled in dark satanic twang and austere american beauty, "The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull" finds Dylan Carlson and the band growing into a harder, more rock, american Gospel and impovisitory direction framed by truly psychedelic production and blazing guitar sounds.

Earth is also very honored to be joined on this record for three songs by legendary and virtuoso guitarist Bill Frisell. Mr. Frisell adds a brilliant texture and counterpoint to the scintillating and inspired riffs of Dylan carlson and the band. Adrienne Davies joins again on drums lending a classic and steady feel to the proceedings. Steve Moore also returns adding heavy hammond organ and his intense jazz inspired piano playing. Live Bassist Don McGreevy also makes his full length Earth debut on this record. The cd comes nicely packaged in a slip-case/o-card and features artwork by Arik Roper.

"Bees"... will be available in stores on Feb. 26th, however here is a chance to hear it prior to that date by ordering now! $12

Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter-"Like, Love, Lust and the Open Halls of the Soul" 2xLP

We are very honored to be able to present the 180 gram vinyl version of this incredible album from singer-songwriter Jesse Sykes and her band: The Sweet Hereafter. Many of you may be familiar with Jesse Sykes through her beautifully haunting vocals on the sunn 0)))/Boris-Altar album track: "The Sinking Belle". On their third album: ""Like, Love, Lust and the Open Halls of the Soul" Jesse and her band continue down the path of the dark country-flavored rock they are now becoming known for. Along this path they also create songs that sound like the day breaking through the darkness not unlike classic Neil Young or even the Allman Brothers. Some of the alumni that gathered for this album such as Bill Herzog, Steve Moore, Eyvind Kang, and Randall Dunn have strong ties to sunn 0))), Earth and Southern Lord, so although it may seem a strange release amongst our catalog, it really makes perfect sense! What really matters most is the undeniable fact that Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter make incredibly beautiful, dark, intense sounds. This Southern Lord deluxe gatefold issue contains a exclusive vinyl-only bonus track: "Smiling Serene (Days To Remember)", not available anywhere else! Mailorder customers will recieve the limited Pink/Peach color 180 gram vinyl of which only 300 were pressed. $17 each

BURNING WITCH-"Crippled Lucifer, Ten Psalms for Our Lord of Light" 2xcd limited version

After a elongated eternity of anticipation it is with extreme relief that we are able to announce that:
Crippled Lucifer: 10 Psalms For Our Lord of Light is finally done and ready to be devoured! These recordings are the roots of much of what has grown into the current existence of Southern Lord alumni: sunn 0))), Khanate, Goatsnake, Teeth Of Lions Rule The Divine etc.. as well as: KTL, Asva, etc..

For the uninitiated: ...After the breakup of the cult doom/death band Thorr's Hammer in 1995, Stephen O'Malley, Greg Anderson and Jamie Sykes formed Burning Witch. The band then added G. Stuart Dahlquist and vocalist Edgy 59, rounding out their lineup. Anderson left the band and moved to Los Angeles to form the band Goatsnake. In 1996, the band (w/out Anderson) recorded songs with Steve Albini, which would become the Towers... EP. This collection would actually not see a formal release on 12" until 1998 on Slap A Ham Records. After the sessions for these songs, Sykes left the band and was replaced by B.R.A.D.

The sessions that followed the Albini recordings resulted in the Rift.Canyon.Dreams EP, which would prove to be the final recordings by the band, as they broke up soon after the disc was completed. It was released on 12" by Merciless Records. Shortly after disbanding: " Crippled Lucifer" a compilation CD of the two EPs, was released in 1998 by the then new label Southern Lord Records. It was the second release of the label, the first being Thorrs' Hammer. Burning Witch briefly reformed for their last shows in the fall of 1998 after which Edgy 59 left the band. O'Malley reunited with Anderson to form Sunn O))), and Dahlquist joined both in sunn 0))) for their first two albums (The Grimm Robe Demos Void) then briefly joined Anderson in Goatsnake for the "Flower of Disease" album.

This deluxe double cd re-issue of all Burning Witch recordings will serve as a respectful epitaph for this incredible band. It compiles both the Towers and Rift Canyon Dreams albums which were on the the original Crippled Lucifer release PLUS the following out of print material:

"Communion" and "the Bleeder" from: split CD with Goatsnake (Hydra Head Records 2000) OUT OF PRINT
and
"Rift Canyon Dreams" from :split 12" with Asva (Dos Fatales Records 2004) OUT OF PRINT
(remixed by Randall Dunn (sunn, boris, earth) and available for the first time ever on cd)

The mailorder version will be exclusively limited to 2,000 individually machine-numbered copies and besides the double cd of the regular version it will contain a drop card that will allow the owner to exclusively download the audio of a full live show from 1996 and a previously unheard demo from the same era. The packaging on this bitch is absolutely amazing and will serve as the appropriate sheath to shelter this archive. Trust us it will be worth the wait and more! $16 each.

We are also offering a cd+ shirt package for a discounted price. This package also comes with a free Burning Witch 18X24" two-sided poster (poster will ship FOLDED)!

OM - Pilgrimage CD

The 3rd sacred voyage of drone mantra purity from Om! Helmed by the master rhythm section of Chris Hakius (drums) and Al Cisneros (bass) (both formerly of Sleep) Pilgrimage contains four brand new songs featuring the gropus unique use of riff, cadence and chant. Lyrical themes address the processes of mind, psychic reality, astral and causal planes of being, and the nature of the soul. Pilgrimage was recorded and engineered by Steve Albini at his Electrial Audio studios in Chicago and produced by the band. Mastering was handled by Bob Weston (also of Shellac). Of particular note is how much the song-writing has developed and in turn makes the dynamics of the songs much more intensely powerful. The present journey finds the band expanding their vision into new territories.

Oren Ambarchi - "In the Pendulum's Embrace" CD

Oren Ambarchi-"In the Pendulum's Embrace" CD By now Mr. Ambarchi should be no stranger to the initiated drone fiends as his unmistakable tonal presence has permeated many Southern Lord releases in the last few years. Most notable were his contributions to the "Black One" album by sunn 0))) but he is also involved with the 0))) related trios: Grave Temple, AND Burial Chamber Trio. Oren Ambarchi continues his otherworldly investigations with “In The Pendulums Embrace, a kind of dark twin to his landmark 2004 album "Grapes From The Estate" Returning again to the hallowed halls of BJB Studios in Sydney, Ambarchi expands the scope and range of his unique musical language, incorporating an even broader pallette of instruments and sensibilities. Despite the use of glass harmonica, strings, bells, piano, percussion and guitars, its startling that the world created is still unmistakably his own, and that there is such a cohesion of vision throughout the albums three lengthy pieces. With this record theres an even more tenuous coexistence of fragility and density; sounds as light as air mingling with wall shaking low-end. Packaged in a 5" mini-gatefold w/ printed inner-sleeve. Design by John Wozencroft. Released exclusively in North America by the Lord.  Stay tuned for a vinyl version to be released within the next few months as well.

Orthodox - "Amanecer En Puerta Oscura" CD

In December 2006,ORTHODOX' recorded this, their second album "Amanecer en Puerta Oscura". The album helps give a new perspective into the soul of the music they create as well as its movement into several different directions., "Amanecer en Puerta Oscura" comes off like a trip crossing through different genres, where jazz influences, collide with progressive sounds and ultra-heavy, crushing metallic-punk experiments. At the same time the band has not forgotten their true metal roots and Andalusian cultural origins. The use of new instrumentation (clarinet, trumpet, contrabass), fits naturally with the band's original sound yet opens a new window in order to see the light within their dark musical concept. ORTHODOX are continually searchinng for new and diverse forms of music expressions, "Amanecer en Puerta Oscura" is a logical manifestation of their current "discoveries" during this quest.  Released exclusively in North Americal by Southern Lord.

Wolves In The Throneroom - "Two Hunters" CD

"The deep woe inside black metal is about fear that we can never return to the mythic, pastoral world that we crave on a deep subconscious level"

Grim and purifying black metal from the forests of cascadia! The second full-length release (first on SLR) from this powerful trio. An incredible amount of depth, power and conviction along with mature song-writing and incredible musicianship give them their own undeniably unique sound. The groups willingness to experiment with unconventional methods of recording and collaborate with avant-garde musicians sets them apart from the mundane normalcy that plagues many Black Metal bands albums as of late. "Two Hunters" was recorded on tape, at London Bridge and Aleph Studio by Randall Dunn (Earth, sunn 0)))/Boris, Kinski) in the Pacific Northwest.. The process of the recording was very organic with very minimal use of any digital effects or manipulation. Jessica Kinney (previous collaborations with Eyvind Kang and Asva) provides beautifully dark vocals on "Cleansing" and "I Will Lay Down My Bones Among the Rocks and Roots." Comes packaged in a 5" mini-gatefold thick cardboard jacket. Be sure to see them on tour in the USA in October 2007.

sunn 0))) - "Oracle" LP (gatefold sleeve)

Two brand new exclusive sunn 0))) tracks available officially on vinyl only!

ORAKULUM was originally composed for a live performance collaboration with the New York sculptor Banks Violette at the Maureen Paley Gallery in London, June of 06. Violette created sculptural representation of SUNN O)))s entire backline in cast resin and salt, including amplifier stacks, instruments, effects & accompaniments. In addition, black laquered stage platforms and sound panels were created as a basis for the groups actual backline setup, and a selection of drawings were presented within the context. The result of this performance and collaboration, which was conducted in a sealed gallery space, was intended to generate a feeling of absence, loss and a phantom of what once was.

The A side of this lp: BELUROL PUSZTIT was also recorded at this session. Initially this song was created for the "Jukebox Buddha" compilation as it features the use of the tone generating Buddha Boxes within the track. In the style of sunn 0))) these boxes were run through the sunn backline and recorded at maximum volume which of course yielded maximum results! BELUROL PUSZTIT " also features extra "instrumentation" from Atsuo Mizuno (Boris) on drums and Joe Preston (Earth, Melvins, Thrones) on jackhammer (!!!) !!!!

The 180 gram vinyl is packaged in a thick printed innersleeve and thick cardboard gatefold jacket. Stark, stunning photographs of Banks Violettes' sculptures adorn all sides of the gatefold, innersleeve including a drawing by Banks on the innersleeve! The vinyl version will be the only "official" release of these recordings.

Any cd versions of "Oracle" are limited versions (mostly tour only) and will not be readily available.

The initially pressing of "Oracle" is 7,777 copies (2,000 on clear).

Both versions are available via mailorder. As stated above all mailorder customers will receive a free "Oracle" cd (with rare misprinted cover!) with each order. Limit of 1 order of each color per customer. $17.77

Weedeater-"God Luck And Good Speed" CD

After two critically acclaimed full length releases under their belts recorded by Billy Anderson (Neurosis, Melvins, High On Fire, etc.) and released respectively on Berserker and Crucial Blast Records, the latest and highly anticipated album, "God Luck And Good Speed" is upon us! All but one of the songs on the album were recorded and produced by the legendary Steve Albini (Neurosis, High On Fire, Nirvana, etc.) at Electrical Audio studios in Chicago. The sound is gigantic and both the production and recording skillfully capture the intense experience of a Weedeater live show while achieving tones that will swallow you whole. The non Albini session track, "Alone", was recorded by Mike Dean (Corrosion of Conformity) and simply consists of an acoustic bass
track, a banjo track, and vocally some of Dixie's best somber and sub-baritone rasping. The mastering was executed by John Golden (Neurosis, Melvins, ,etc.) and the finished product is nothing short of amazing. Arik Roper provided the art and it is presented on gold foil embossed on a 5" mini-gatefold, thick cardboard jacket. It is an honor for us to present this massively heavy album to the Lord hordes! $12

Glorior Belli - Manifesting The Raging Beast   Glorior Belli - Manifesting The Raging Beast (CD)

Eight psalms of terror; the altered verses of the Holy!

Hailing from France,...Glorior Belli came out from the dark in 2002. The first demo "Evil Archaic Order" was released in June 2004, followed by the first album "Ô Lavdate Dominvs" in May 2005. Despite their exquisitely filthy & brutal nature, their recordings emit a mesmerizing otherworldly resonance that cannot be denied. An omnious rumble & surge.....Always moving forward with various points of tension & terror!  Glorior Bellis' whole aesthetic has a strangely melodic bent that helps it to stand out from other black metal records. Somehow they manage to write bestial art that is ultra- catchy while at the same time being suffocatingly black & grim.  "Manifesting the Raging Beast" is their second full length album and first for their new label-coven: Southern Lord.   Members of Glorior Belli are also involved in  other projects such as: MERRIMACK, DISIPLIN, BLACK FLAME, WOLFE, and OBSCURUS ADVOCAM.

Asbestosdeath - Unclean, Dejection   Asbestosdeath - Unclean, Dejection (CD)

In the late eighties …Before the mighty formation of Sleep: Al Cisneros (Bass/Vocals), Chris Hakius, and Matt Pike (Guitar) played together (along with Thomas Choi/Guitar) in Asbestosdeath. Asbestosdeath are the roots of the oak that branched into the massive creation of not only Sleep but of course OM (Al and Chris), High On Fire (Matt) and ItisI/Operator Generator (Thomas Choi). Asbestosdeath was short-lived and only existed long enough to record 4 songs that were released on 2 separate 7’s. One: “Unclean” was self-released by the band, the other: “Dejection” was released by Profane Existence. These recordings are long out of print…buried by time and dust. On the specific request of the band Southern Lord has been chosen to unearth these recordings and make them available once again! "Unclean, Dejection album contains every Asbestosdeath studio recording on one specially priced release. The recordings were carefully mastered from original source material (ie: the vinyl!) by Mell Dettmer (Earth, sunn 0))), Altar, etc..)
It is our honor to unveil this compact disc properly documenting these sacred hymns! Be prepared for divine punishment!

Exclusive vinyl release of the debut album from this vicious, intense Black Metal influenced trio from Olympia, Wa! The Wolves blew us away with this album release a little while back. An incredible amount of depth, power and conviction ...especially for a debut release. Yes there is a very strong black metal influence within this album however the mature song-writing and incredible musicianship give them their own undeniably unique sound. You will be hearing a whole lot more from Wolves in the near future as they have signed to Southern Lord and we will be unleashing the next album: "Two Hunters" in the coming months. Dont miss the Wolves on the forthcoming: 777 Southern Lord west coast tour
