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 OLD MAN GLOOM Seminar II - The Holy Rites of Primitivism (Tortuga) cd 15.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
With the "Use Your Illusion"-style simultaneous release of these two new discs on HydraHead sublabel Tortuga, Boston's Old Man Gloom have vaulted to the forefront of the so-called "noisecore" scene, at least in our estimation. We were already big fans of their under-hyped "Meditation in B" debut, and now we're confident that they'll be gaining the recognition they deserve. OMG have much in common with fellow avant-metalcore acts Neurosis, (old) Cave In, and Coalesce, but draw equally from the non-'core likes of Skullflower and Organum to achieve their dark, powerful, intelligent sound, which incorporates metal aggression, post-rock dynamics and dronological experimentation. And unlike with GnR's overblown excess, in the case of music like this, taking two discs for their "seminar" makes sense. "Seminar II"'s 16 tracks shift wonderfully from dronescape to hardcore pummel, at times even, like the last Coalesce disc, incorporating the sort of big riff that would even please stoner rockin' seventies revivalists. "Seminar III" is given over to just one long track, and also utterly lays waste to all. Their psychedelic, metallic attack captures the bludgeoning atmosphere of the best Godflesh recordings, while also recalling the esoteric likes of Gore, Engine Kid, and even our own Andee's new band Ticwar! Both discs are fucking essential (and are designed as a pair, with matching artwork, one matte, one glossy), so get both!
