IMPORTANT (Please read to avoid confusion):
Some items below may be tagged with a bold, red, all-caps "out of print/unavailable" notice. This does NOT mean that all other items not so tagged are, in fact, in stock -- or for that matter, in print and available, though there's a good chance they are. Some folks get confused on this point, and we can see why, so please read this for further clarification and other important before-you-order information. Unlike some mailorder websites, we don't have an electronic inventory system linked to our site, so you can't be sure of what we actually have or don't have in stock at any given moment without asking us -- please email our mailorder department for availability status -- or better yet, just go ahead and place your order using our shopping cart function and we'll get back to you with the status of each item. If you have general non-mailorder questions, email the store.


album cover THERIOS II (Hollenden) cd-r 11.98
More one-man metal band madness. This time from Cleveland Ohio, and man is this stuff crazy. Instead of just playing all the instruments himself like a 'normal' one man band, he records the drums, the bass, the guitars, -and- the vocals, loads them into his computer and chops and shuffles, and distorts and chops some more and comes up with something that is sort of a metal record, but is so alien and completely bizarre that just calling it metal sort of sells it short. This is primitive-futuristic-lo-fi-black-grind-electronic-metal. Or something. I played it for my friend Josh in the car, and I think he mumbled something like 'Hmm, sounds kind of weird.' Or maybe he said 'bad'. But it -does- sound weird -and- bad and great and bizarre and completely amazing. Ultra lo-fi, fuzzed out blurry grinding metal, like Darkthrone mixed with Anal Cunt, thrown in a blender, and then played back through an AM radio. The guitar is so distorted, it sounds like a swarm of angry bees recorded on a dictaphone. The drums either sound like cardboard boxes run through a chain of distortion pedals or huge metal garbage cans thrown down a flight of stairs. But it's the vocals that blew us away, completely freaked out and so demented. Insanely inhuman and raw, sounding a bit like wild demons being beaten to death and a little bit like a drag race mic-ed and broadcast through a bullhorn, threatening to blow out the speakers with shards of distortion and hiss. When people talk about music being extreme, take into consideration the fact that they probably haven't heard Therios, 'cause next to this, no band seems all that extreme.

album cover THERIOS s/t (Hollenden) cd-r 11.98
We listed Therios' amazing "II" disc last time, and the response was so good that we just brought in a few of this older self-titled Therios release. Like "II", this recording is a studio/computer-assembled one man band project. It's constructed from samples, but as the back cover specifies, "Therios does not sample the work of others" -- this guy plays all the instruments himself and then chops and splices everything into noisy, chaotic, metallic compositions. This disc is somewhat less "metal" than its successor, however, sounding a little bit like stuff the Boredoms were doing back in their "Soul Discharge" days. Over the top distorted insanity.
