Music and Riots

NEW ARRIVAL ________________
✖️ BASEMENT
▪️Wired
(First Run Club Edition on Wired Swirl w/ CD Sampler, Poster and Stickers)

WIRED is a hard reset for Basement. It marks the British band’s first album in eight years, a reunion with their original label Run For Cover Records, and a return to making music with the unbridled passion and creative intuition that's always animated their best material. Since forming in 2009, Basement have always been the same five friends -- vocalist Andrew Fisher, guitarists Alex Henery and Ronan Crix, bassist Duncan Stewart, and drummer James Fisher -- with the same alchemic bond. The only thing that's changed in recent years is their renewed sense of purpose, and their new album makes that loudly apparent. WIRED is the most dynamic, daring, and inspired Basement have ever sounded, while also retaining the timeless fundamentals of the band’s singular sound: growling guitars, rousing choruses, striking emotional verbiage.

NEW ARRIVALS ____________
✖️ ISIS
▪️Wavering Radiant
(Limited Edition on Ultra Double Clear Vinyl)

▪️In the Absence of Truth
(Limited Edition on Double Ecomix Red Vinyl)

Continuing in our series of ISIS reissues, Wavering Radiant is the band’s final 2009 release, remastered by James Plotkin. The 2LP 140g vinyl packaged in a tip-on gatefold jacket in two retail variants.

The album was produced by Joe Barresi, and the band split just over a year after its release. The album continues Isis' history of lengthy songwriting, yet presents a slight departure from the soft-loud dynamics and post-metal aesthetic which characterized previous releases. It is widely considered the band’s most accessible release in their catalog.

Although the band has been defunct for over a decade, their impact on metal is still reverberating, and sales continue to make it one of Ipecac’s top artists.

In the Absence of Truth is the band’s 2006 release, remastered by James Plotkin. The 2LP 140g vinyl is packaged in a tip-on gatefold jacket in two retail variants: Standard Black Vinyl and an Indie Exclusive Eco-Mix Red.

The album expands upon the group's previous full-length, Panopticon, further exploring lead singer Aaron Turner's clean vocals (though his former techniques, which relied more on screaming and growling, are still present as well). Musically, the album is dynamic, ranging from extended musical ambience to almost tribal drumming. Isis continued their lengthy songwriting; In the Absence of Truth is Isis' longest record, at almost 65 minutes.

NEW ARRIVAL _______________
✖️ TERROR
✖️ Still Suffer
✖️ (Limited Edition on Laguna Coloured Vinyl)

Nobody could have ever guessed the trajectory that hardcore would have taken back when this movement was first formed. And in the early 2000s, nobody would have guessed that a band like Terror would still be one of the most influential bands in the subgenre, 24 years after their start. Their aggression, coupled with a love and appreciation for the scene that so many have come and gone from, or even forgotten altogether, has let them thrive- now unveiling their tenth full length record, Still Suffer, on Flatspot Records.

Still Suffer was rounded out with engineering and some additional production by Taylor Young at The Pit Recording Studio, mixing by Jon Markson, and mastering by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, with additional vocal engineering by Jay Zubricky at GCR Audio, and drum engineering at Studio 606 by Taylor Young and Oliver Roman. Guest vocals on the album come from Jay Peta of Mindforce on "Beauty in the Losses," Brody King of God's Hate and Dan Seely of King Nine on "Deconstruct It," along with Hot Water Music's Chuck Ragan providing an assertive delivery on "Fear The Panic," a song which was also co-produced by New Found Glory's Chad Gilbert.
