It took only four years from Bison Machine to release their second album. In this case time itself is irrelevant because here we have a great hard (retro) rocking heavy album. Bought their debut album in 2015 (self-released version) and listened to it a lot during that year, but then years passed by and the record faded into oblivion.. But now it’s time to drag forgotten treasure back into the sunlight, next to the latest one. Seas of Titan still available via Kozmik Artifactz.
And here it is, the last LP record I received on 2017 (came just for the Christmas, few days earlier actually). Hmm.. am I experiencing de-ja vu here because I wrote a post of their previous album on 22nd of December last year.. but hey, I could use those very same words about this album too but I’m not that lazy. Very well, an excellent album once again and after listening this numerous & numerous times during this past week I’m certain that this is going to be on very top of my list of best purchases during 2017. Great combination of retro-psych-stoner-whatever-you-wanna-call-it and I’m smiling. Thanks to the great Dark Hedonistic Union Records for releasing & delivering this treasure to us all, we salute you! This color variation is DHU exclusive, limited to 90 copies and for those who did not get their hands on this treasure, The Company Records seems to have some red-colored copies (limited to 125) still available. Recommended, obviously :)
I did it, I managed to grab a copy (of this most limited variation) a month ago. Few restock copies were available from Poisoned Mind Records and you just can imagine my finger tapping that F5 button.. I have a test press of this record already and don’t know what I was thinking when I skipped this DLX version (numbered & limited to 77 copies) back then. But now I have this awesome sci-fi/horror/instrumental/garage/whatever masterpiece here with me. Awesome record indeed!
Package arrived (as usual) in perfect condition but that’s not all. As I picked the package from the Post Office I noticed that it weighted quite much.. Opened it at home and found some extra stuff..
With sweaty hands I picked up following items from the package:
Night Runner: Starfighter LP (pink with black splatter, ltd. 140 copies) -sold out-
Joel Grind: Fatal Planet 7″ (red/black split, ltd.138) –still available–
Crypt Trip: Mabon Songs 7″ (translucent blue, ltd. 113) -still available–
I don’t even have words to describe how much I appreciate this.. My humble thanks goes to Poisoned Mind, I’m totally astounded. Really love that Night Runner album, missed it in the first place because I literary slept over it and was so damn pissed off to myself. Brilliant 80s synthwave Album! Joel Grind’s (guy is better known by his Thrash Metal band, Toxic Holocaust) seven-inch is also filled with 80s synhtwave sounds (this has been on my wantlist since the day it was released). Last but not least, Crypt Trip. My history with Poisoned Mind Records started with Crypt Trip’s same titled boxset that came via Poisoned Mind two & half years ago. It’s awesome to hear some new stuff from this doomed psych/stoner group! And yet again, Thanks! I’m honored to receive all these recordings, this meaans lot to me.
It didn’t took that much time to purchase this Youngblood Supercult’s album “High Plains” after I heard that second track “Monolith” via their BandCamp page. Thing I like the most is the atmosphere on this album, fuzzed bluesy stoner/retro/psych rock with damn good sounding vocals. Needless to say that I dig this album big time! This brilliant double album is available from D.H.U. Records. The color variation on the picture is called “Acid Tongue edition”, it’s D.H.U. exclusive limited to 90 copies and sadly it’s sold out by now. But don’t worry, there’s still black-colored copies (ltd. 150 copies) available from the source, D.H.U. Records. Recommended one!! And hey, if you’re gonna visit the site I suggest you to check it out thoroughly.
Must purchase this album also on digital format…
Hey, here we go again with the latest STB release, now it’s time for Red Wizard and their debut album “Cosmosis”. Awesome looking package and I bow to the king, STB Records, for putting out these treasures one after other. After numerous spins this record, that seems to be band’s debut full-length, grows better, and better. Red Wizard plays doomed/stoner/hard rock with retro vibes and from first tune to the last this record have been very refreshing, mesmerizing experience. In other words, freaking beauty! This version is dlx one, limited to 85 copies and as always, sold out from STB like all other color variations. Kozmik Artifactz (EU) & All That Is Heavy (US) both has these red/black variations (limited to 160 copies) still available so if you are interested you know what to do. Recommended!
