Red Mass

Volume 2 - Black Light, Black Heat

Spacecase

***“111” is large scale work meant as an accompaniment to Red Mass’ previous album, A Hopeless Noise. Said work features 111 songs separated in 11 volumes released on labels all over the world (Italy, Greece, France, Ukraine, USA, Canada). Each volume is an album in itself and will first be released in limited quantity on a physical format (EP, tape, CD, vinyl postcard). All volumes will eventually be released digitally as the complete work. Each of the 11 volumes represents one type of personality and has its own artwork, themes and songs executed in one particular genre. The genres tackled are folk, garage punk, black noise, synth based compositions and industrial music. In Red Mass’ previous release, A Hopeless Noise, the main protagonist suffers from a multiple personality disorder. “111” explores the idea put forth by author Grant Morrison that instead of a single personality complex, we should adhere to a multiple personality complex allowing us to relate more to others, adapt more easily and possibly even avoid a large scale societal psychosis. “111” features mostly new material recorded over the last 12 years.

Red Mass

Kilrush Drive

No Coast

***RED MASS is a gathering of artists, musicians and agent provocateurs from around the globe. Created by ROY VUCINO (CPC GANGBANGS, PyPy, BIRDS OF PARADISE, NIGHT SEEKER, LES SEXAREENOS) as part of the 'Free Creative Enterprise' TA DA arts collective, its goal is to create punk music and art, in various mediums while incorporating techniques of automatic creation, chaos magic and liberation through art. To do so the Mass forgoes any allegiance to a specific scene, genre or sound. This method of working outside of the classic band format allows the Mass to work with as many international collaborators as it likes regardless of their experience, style or background. The present core of 'Red Mass' is comprised of Roy Vucino and partner HANNAH LEWIS. Eager to explore new soundscapes and to collaborate with musicians all over the world, the band has amassed more than 100 participating artists and musicians in its ranks. Collaborations with some of our idols, our friends, our family members and with strangers who wanna create something subversive. The means are the end in order to create freely, nothing is sacred in the sweet blasphemy of our art. In a splintered world, the group sees art and music as a way to bring people closer. It has opened itself to all. As above, so below. We welcome you to the Red Mass. Kilrush Drive was recorded by MINGO L'INDIEN from LES GEORGES LENINGRAD, JACE LASEK from BESNARD LAKES, SEBASTIEN PERRY and producer/engineer MARTIN BISI (Sonic Youth, Iggy...

Ep Rouge N. 2

Mondo Mongo

***Montreal art-savant ROY "CHOYCE" VUCINO (CPC GANGBANGS, PyPy, BIRDS OF PARADISE, NIGHT SEEKER) returns to the Slovenly Recordings stable with partner HANNAH LEWIS for a new installment of his acclaimed RED MASS project—presented by Slovenly imprint Mondo Mongo. For the uninitiated, Red Mass was founded by Choyce in 2008, and features an evolving cast of over 100 musicians appearing on more than 30 releases thus far. E.P. Rouge N. 2, recorded as a tribute to the French-German satanic horror drama Possession (directed by Andrzej Żuławski), features seven tracks of heated and visionary 21st century Francophone freak-rock on the top deck, with a sinister vinyl etching sprawled across the flip. Noxious experiments in extraterrestrial swamp-roar swarm the senses in “Confession d’un Chacal,” sounding like an inverted “Weird Love” era Scientists produced by Scientist (the King Tubby protege, natch), and the vicious onslaught of “Infidèle” and “Noir et Blanc” deliver atom smashing space-punk prowess. One-sided, etched 12” EP pressed on red vinyl.

To All The Good People

Dusty Medical

***RED MASS is the brainchild of ROY VUCINO of CPC GANGBANGS and LES SEXAREENOS fame, but functions more as a collaborative art project meets doomsday cult. Releasing scores of material at a near constant pace without sacrificing quality or originality, Red Mass serves up new directions in current rock n roll from mind blowing psych, trashcan free-jazz, electronic infused punk, and just about anything else Mr. Vucino can throw into a song. On this Dusty Medical 7-inch, Red Mass looks backwards with the excellent A-side "To All the Good People," finding common ground between his previous bands while updating the sound to kick a hole in today's mutating sonic wasteland. The B-side, "The Truth About Baby Jane," is a weirdly atmospheric and psychedelic piece buzzing with bizarre electronic noises perfect for late night paranoia or early morning shame. Like all Red Mass releases to date, this record is essential to anyone navigating the historical river of true modern rock n roll as it pioneers into strange new territories. Edition of 500 copies.
