King Blood

Eye I Aye Ivy

Petty Bunco

***The return of your favorite unknown guitarist’s favorite unknown guitarist! If previous platters ran on filthy diesel and sputtering engines, Eye I Aye Ivy is powered by jet fuel and has sights set way beyond the horizon. It's a cosmic headbanger that vamps on nearly recognizable rock riffs to build one excruciating crescendo after another. It’s the soundtrack for the first ravioli western to be filmed on the moon in the gutter. Conceived and recorded entirely by Ry himself, this thing is stuffed with twelve tracks that show influences ranging from the patient throb of King Tubby, the confident triumph of Iron Maiden, the otherworldly din of Blues Control, the budget sci-fi fantasy of Chrome, and the easy come down of Spacemen 3, often within the same damn tune. It’s the type of record that’ll have ya knee deep in murk, humming along, and flipping it over and over and over again, desperately waiting for the next time Ry turns up from parts unknown to give us another King Blood offering.

Second offering from KING BLOOD & it's a motherfucker. Throbbing, claustrophobic, triumphant, room shaking, and chiming electric guitar worship. The type of record that'll lodge into your head & reduce your mind to a luminous toxic jelly. Enters the static void alongside Earth, Skullflower, & Les Rallizes Denudes.   Vengeance, Man by KING BLOOD from Vengeance, Man by TestosterTunes Dead Meat by KING BLOOD from Vengeance, Man by TestosterTunes

We initially discovered the record through a very enticing review that Doug Mosurock over at Still Single / Dusted wrote and our minds were blown when we received the records and realized that there was absolutely no hyperbole or exaggeration in Doug's review. For your reference, here's said review: "Little anonymous fuzz guitar rudiment blowdown from ex-SNAKE APARTMENT guitarist RYLAND WHARTON (also the man behind the excellent Skulltones and Twonicorn labels). As King Blood, he lays down eight instrumental four-trackers rendered over a three-year period, nothing but guitar, bass and cymbal to keep time, and in that space the artist gets real, with simple themes repeated in a noisy, low-rent, yet meditative space. For as thick as these vibes get, the music itself is not necessarily aggressive, which is why these big, billowing songs sound gentle and bluesy and introspective, even in the overblown treatment most of them receive. Early Wooden Shjips or the Purling Hiss LP (and above all, Les Rallizes Denudes) would be good signposts for this album, but without the obvious psych moves like wah-solos and acid burn motifs, or the heavy drumming to keep time; King Blood wants to get you down by volume, and in that it is a drifting,...
