HELL RIDE Black Hell Review

GOG honored Aquarius Record of the week!

gog

What a great honor. As they mention in their review, aQ gets A LOT of records in every week and everyday always something new and cool and most likley something that you wouldn’t have found anywhere else. So to rise above all the great new music in the world on their list is nothing to be taken lightly. Support this great record shop and what they do for underground music everywhere. All my favorite records are from their shop and are on their recomendation and I’m sure many SOBASC followers feel the same. Thanks to Utech Records and aQ for exposing GOG to a greater amazing audience! If I wasn’t sick I’d have a beer this afternoon to celebrate! Cheers.

Read the review and buy it here!! GOG, Mist from the random more.

Personal Record Collection

I’m selling it. Time to start new. Slowly building the listing details for ebay, price, photos, descriptions etc. This is a pain in the ass, anyone ever involved with ebay knows what I’m talking about. And I’ve never attempted it with this many items at once. What I personally hate the most is describing the “condition” of the item. Its used, made out of paper (the sleeve, duh) and its 13 years old, do I really have to take a picture of the scuff in left corner? Maybe there is some sort of general disclaimer I can have across the board on every listing. I was totally surprised that a lot of them have retained their value, some have even grown way beyond the original purchase price. Then its also sad to see that some bands and releases that I thought would be long sought after classics had almost fallen of the face of the earth. Of course its all personal opinion and I’m probably bummed to see them go. I started listing the 7’s tonight. Here is a link: I’ll be listing more everyday and a lot of the are mega rare, just how you like your steak. Man its late:

My ever shrinking collection

june12th_bh

A quick update. For those of you that live in the PHX AZ area Black Hell is having a release party/show on the 12th of June. The first 50 people at the door will get a free Deformers of the Universe Cd. It will be a blast and it might be your last chance to get a copy of How the rest was lost. It could be “How the rest were sold”.

Also I’ve added a Distro section to the release page which has the newest release from GOG, titled Mist from the random more. Limited to 500 Cds. Released on the great Utech Records. GOG now shares the ranks with Plotkin, Menche, Nadja and too many others, what a great honor. I moved the Servile Sect Stratospheric Passenger LP, released on Ecstatic Peace to the distro page as well. And finally I’ve added maybe the most depressing song/album you’ve ever heard (I mean that in a good way) by Japan’s Corrupted, Paso Inferior.

Order Now

New Black Hell! OUT NOW!

On their 2nd full length Black Hell unleash a heavy slab of thick psychedelic fuzz; blurring the line between bright spaced out psych-rock and dark, punishing heavy metal. A journey of light and dark, “How The Rest Was Lost” delivers a beautifully balanced haze of brilliantly pearlescent soundscapes and furious, thunderous riffage.

Only 200 of the first press available. Less all the copies I’ve sent out already, so to you it means first press of 150! Then you’ll have to wait and see if we decide to make more. 4 panel digi-pack. The printing and design turned out awesome.

Lunar Procession 6:27

tchoe_interviewFor those of you that aren’t on the newsletter, I thought I would repost this. I interviewed The Crowned Heads Of Europe a couple of months back and asked them about the WITNESSETH and their creative process. Read More »

Black Hell

htrwlcoverA preview of the cover from the new album, titled, How the rest was lost. A 4 panel digipack. Its massive. An epic journey of lost legends and isolation. Can’t wait for people to get a hold of this one. I know I’ve talked shit on the CD format but this thing is too massive, it would take 2 lps! But never say never. The CD will be out soon! We hope to be planning some release shows as well and we’ll keep you posted. Also some preview tracks will be up shortly.

Servile Sect, News

Servile Sect did a little announcement the other day so I feel comfortable that I can say this now. Ecstatic Peace, is releasing Stratospheric Passenger on LP. I should have some copies for sale here end of this month or later. I’m super stoked for them and was proud to be involved with them on Stratospheric Passenger the CDr and digital release. Apparently it blew Thurston Moore’s mind, and it should blow yours too if you haven’t heard it already. I worked on the new layout of the LP which is all new . . . artwork and insert. A must have on all formats! Nice work Servile Sect!

REMODELING

It’s alive! More things are coming. I’m updating slowly. Thanks to The Crowned Heads Of Europe for steering me in this direction. I’ve got big plans but don’t want to state them all until there more mapped out. Speaking of TCHOE, I have about 20 of the first press left. If you want to order that or anything else while my page is under “construction” just email me. sobasc (at) gmail.com
