About this product
This features a single black vinyl packaged in a 12Inch jacket designed and laid out by Controller 7, a 12x24 4-panel insert with art from Shane Ingersoll, and photography by Matt Shaver. Nobody Planning To Leave is the new album from Curly Castro and PremRock, aka ShrapKnel, which was entirely produced by Controller 7. Featuring Open Mike Eagle, Onry Ozzborn, Lungs, Breezly Brewin, D-Styles (of the legendary Beat Junkies), and ELUCID, the title represents a duality-both a boastful claim and also a resigned recognition.Sometimes, you're planting your flag, and sometimes, you acknowledge that it's all ultimately out of your control. Except in a few cases, nobody plans to leave. Nobody plans to abandon their passion, either. Usually, the slow grind of necessity chooses that for you. What started as a few DMs between Castro and Controller 7 in 2021 slowly morphed into a fully fleshed opus. Close your eyes and imagine de la Soul is Dead if the Plugs were steeped in the murky tea of the early aughts independent scene. It's a propulsive, cohesive listen that finds the rappers forging new ground both sonically and stylistically. The first ShrapKnel LP was wind, a self-titled sheer force that awoke the masses to the New. The second album was fire, forged in a Metal Lung, seasoned by smoke and libation. This third offering is earth, rooted in our influences, from soil-turned-vines-turned blades that scale the highest structures.

140g black vinyl version in 12Inch gatefold jacket with artwork by Shane Ingersoll.An alloy is a mixture of chemical agents that forms a new substance that retains the characteristics of a metal. The mechanical properties of alloys often differ significantly from those of it's individual constituents. It has been over two years since Shrapknel's debut album, during which time the Curly Castro and PremRock duo have individually released successful solo albums with Backwoodz Studioz. Fittingly, these two albums were nothing alike; Castro's incendiary Little Robert Hutton is a high-octane soundclash, starkly contrasting the knotty intimacy of PremRock's Load Bearing Crow's Feet. A new Shrapknel album means a return to foundry and forge, the alchemy of turning two into one. Carbon and iron make steel, so rest assured, there will be no sophomore slump. Metal Lung is the evidence. Steel Tipped Dove provides the bulk of the production, having worked with Nosaj, billy woods, SHIRT, and R.A.P. Ferreira and just released an incredible album on Backwoodz last year (Call Me When You're Outside). Additional production comes from Child Actor (ELUCID, Serengeti, Armand Hammer) and Olof Melander (Moor Mother, Project Mooncircle). The album was mixed and mastered by the incomparable Willie Green.
In Gravity is the sound of a rebirth. Born from a period of pain, tragedy, isolation, but hope for the future. It emerges as an uplifting and crushingly precise statement about where Shrapnel are in 2023. A cathartic exercising of daemons, it does not dwell on the past or lean on well-worn tropes but looks excitedly forward. Drawing on their ever-deepening well of experience and influence, In Gravity marks a band at the height of their songwriting prowess. Whether dealing in extremity and complexity, Gojira-inspired bludgeoning heaviness, or a newly-emerging sense of modern melodic maturity, Shrapnel are able to weave their sonic palette in new, genre-defying directions. Helmed by Swedish super producer Jens Bogren (Sepultura) it features collaborations with Scott Kennedy (Bleed From Within) and modern shred virtuoso Bradley Hall. Shrapnel are breaking out of their shackles where others have failed and staking their claim to the British metal throne.
