We’ve gotten some new stuff in our distro! First and foremost, we finally have the AGE OF COLLAPSE Burden of Beast LPs in, and limited editions are ready to ship!  The screens came out rad on these, so grab one before they’re all gone, we only did 50 of ‘em.  Due to delays in the cassette plant, we are going to be shipping the cassette version that accompanies the Limited Editions separately, so as not to make people who pre-ordered wait any further.  We apologize for that, but it’s kind of out of our hands as what was supposed to be ready in mid December is going to press only now.  If anyone has a great recommendation for a cassette duplication vendor other than NAC we are all ears .

We will be running a sale from now until the end of January as we gear up for some new stuff.  Use the promo code “JAN2012” during checkout at our store and receive 15% off any order over $25.00. 

We’ve taken over distribution of the NUX VOMICA – President is Dead 7″ (color vinyl) and the ORDER OF THE VULTURE – Death Mask 7″ from Defector Records.  We have limited quantities of these on hand, but they weren’t heavily distro’ed at the time, so pick em up!  Distros and stores get in touch for wholesale rates.  We are almost out of the NUX VOMICA – Embrace the Cycles EP and the ORDER OF THE VULTURE – Martyr for Nothing EPs are moving fast!  The MURDERESS LP is officially sold out and we will be repressing this year along with their forthcoming LP.  We also got in AGE OF COLLAPSE shirts and patches, MURDERESS patches, and ORDER OF THE VULTURE t-shirts!  All shirts are available in limited qtys of style and size, so check em out below!

Halloween in Seattle this year was a total blast!  Thanks to Club M for hosting another awesome party! Here is some incriminating evidence:

http://www.cvltnation.com/eater-of-worlds-countdown-to-armageddonreview/

It’s hard to have a peaceful state of mind when you are living in constant mental and physical warfare. Ever since I was a kid, music has always been that thing that has brought peace into my life while at the same time waking me up to whats going on around and beyond my world. I would not trade my teenage years as a peace punk for anything in the world, and I have said it before, in 1984 the lines between Positive Punk, Death Rock, Peace Punk and Post Punk almost did not exist. That’s why when I hear a band like Countdown to Armageddon, I get so fucking excited. This Seattle band released a super killer album in 2010 called Eater of Worlds, via Aborted Society Records, that combines the best of the aforementioned genres. Honestly, there is not one weak or insincere moment on this album. The audio and lyrical messages that this band creates on this album are fucking inspirational. The kind of music that this band creates gives me the energy to face anything negative that might come my way, plus it magnifies the positivity that is happening around me. With Eater of Worlds, Countdown to Armageddon made an album that has layer after layer of righteous emotion built into it, so that this record will age with you and never become dated. When I hear their songs, I get this intense feeling of doom from the dirgey bass lines and sound effects moving in and out of their songs. Then within the vocals of this band, you can hear how the vocalists are screaming for change, and in their anguish you can hear this vibe of hope. Countdown to Armageddon’s guitar work on this album is a voice unto itself, and on every song the notes that are being played draw you into the band’s minds eye. They have truly found a way to bridge the gap between anarcho-punk, crust and post punk, but on the real once your hear this record it goes far beyond any sort of label or barrier! Countdown to Armageddon are also killer song writers that know how to build planets of angst around a sun filled with lava hot melody. I know when you hear the intro to their tune “Eater of Worlds,” you will realize that the countdown is on!

COUNTDOWN TO ARMAGEDDON:
Eater of Worlds: LP

I thought the Turn into Shadows tape they released earlier was pretty good. But this album surpasses all they’ve done prior. The songs have a darker and more ominous tone and a stronger dynamic structure. The title track is a great example of this. The drums roll through with an avalanche in slow motion style, while the guitar rings out like a siren, and then there are some really cool accents from the bass. The cold and bleak feel of their music really comes through here. Plus, the recording is much more solid. Everything has more “oomph” to it. The opener, “Hymnal 238,” is fuckin’ epic! “The Scourge” is an absolute ripper! Fast and tight execution. I like how clean the drummer pulls off the rolls and makes use of the kit. Then they transition from that song into “Turn into Shadows,” and it’s pure godhead! They also re-record the excellent “Like Animals” (which also appeared on the Turn into Shadows tape). The closer, “Construiremos De Nuevo,” is perfect and wraps up the record with an even more ominous feel. Seriously, some of the best d-beat crust I’ve heard in a long time. –Matt Average (Aborted Society, abortedsociety.com)
