***The latest outgrowth in the malignant strain of aural violence birthed in the industrial Midwest, then branching out to the urban decay of no wave New York and the suburban sprawl of Southern California only to now return once again to where those influences have been distilled before, the northwest. NEGATIVE PRESS is the amphetamine strained and nicotine stained bastard son of noise rock’s self loathing and hardcore’s propulsion. Simultaneously repulsive in its imagery and attractive in its execution, Long Haul is a near perfect debut. Get this now. Features members of CRIMINAL CODE, WHITE WARDS, GAG, and others. Pressed on red vinyl in an edition of 400 copies.

BACK IN PRINT ON PURPLE VINYL!!! One of the most well known of Portland's fertile post punk influenced scene, ARCTIC FLOWERS follows up their well received debut EP and split with Spectres. Their sound builds on the foundation of UK anarchopunk meeting their previous work with such bands as Signal Lost and The Observers. This 12-inch has eight songs leaning more towards the hardcore end of the spectrum while throwing in the occasional Mob influenced bit of melodic punk. Final pressing of 300 copies on purple vinyl

***Two songs from the same recording session as the recent Deranged debut EP "Hollowed". One is a melodic hardcore song that has become their signature, featuring equal parts Husker Du, Replacements and the Wipers. The B side gets much darker, exploring their post punk side, Criminal Code's take on Bauhaus meets My Bloody Valentine. Two outstanding new songs from a band that is always pushing forward. One time pressing of 372 copies.

***BOOK OF BLACK EARTH returns with their third full length album, the Cold Testament, eight songs confidently moving between influences ranging from Swedish death metal to nwobhm to Brazilian thrash to dbeat crust. This time around the keyboards are noticeably absent, turning it into a more guitar driven relentless massacre. The crystal clear production was provided internationally with CHRIS COMMON tracking in Seattle then mixed and mastered by DAN SWANO in Sweden. As always, Book of Black Earth features ex and current members of SKARP, TEEN CTHULHU, SPLATTERHOUSE and SAMOTHRACE. Limited vinyl pressing of 200 copies on white vinyl, 350 on black.
