MeteorCity, the official record label of the heavy music community
StonerRock.com, has announced the impending release dates from two very cool bands, Farflung (pic above) and Dead Man. Sometimes the press release simply says it best, so we'll just let 'er rip....
First up, info on the album
A Wound In Eternity from
Farflung:
Like an apocalyptic beacon from the dark cosmos, Farflung awake from the cryogenic tubes with warped sensibilities and cosmic wrath... This is the heaviest and most tripped-out offering from these musicnauts to date. Dive bombing moogs, crushing riffs, and mind numbing cataclysmic overtures. This is A Wound In Eternity. Spacewarped by the various crew members voyages with Chrome, Nik Turner’s Hawkwind,Damo Suzuki Network, and Pressurehed. They set off in this new year to bring spacerock to your mental galaxy bathed in infrared, shuddering under the strobes, and warping the eyes. Look to the skies for a touchdown near you. Deluxe Double Gatefold Vinyl coming in April, 2008! Standard Edition and Deluxe Edition CDs coming in May, 2008!!and, on the disc
Euphoria, from
Dead Man...
Euphoria is much darker and heavier than their first album while maintaining a thoroughly vintage vibe. There are bluesy up-tempo rockers alongside melodic folk-pop masterpieces and an unexpected turn into dark and psyched-out heavy rock. While their debut Self Titled album made a huge impact on the stoner/prog rock fanatics, Euphoria will establish Dead Man with cult-status like their contemporaries Witchcraft and Black Mountain have achieved. CD coming in June, 2008!Fans of heavy space/stoner/prog-oriented rock should be, well, "euphoric"! Check 'em out!
Labels: Dead Man, Farflung, new releases
Check out this fab new video from Farflung for their song "Endless Drifting Wreck." Taken from the band's new album A Wound In Eternity, available now from Meteor City Records, the vid reminds me, visually, of art-rock terrorists the Residents. The accompanying music is pure Hawkwind-inspired space-metal drone, however, with stinging fretwork, strong rhythms, drifting vocals and an altogether otherworldly vibe.
