Sybris - Gold on Hold - VINYL LP

About this product
Monster alt. Rock. A triumphantly brooding, surprisingly catchy LP perfect for ex-goths, alt. Rockers, & heavenly angels struggling with life or looking for trouble. The loooong-awaited third album by Chicago's Sybris is their masterpiece, shockingly more relevant than ever. Sybris have always been a treasure hiding in plain sight in the cold light of day that was 2000's Chicago's indie scene. Singer Angela Mullenhour's voice is remarkable, combining the piss-off cool of Kim Gordon, the spontaneity of Life Without Buildings, and the sheer vocal power and prowess of Karen O or Björk. That's quite a crowd to live up to, but she deserves it. Mullenhour and co-founders Phil Naumann & Shawn Podgurski are joined here by drummer Clayton DeMuth, who has clearly unlocked something very special within the band. All four members mix the warm feedback of shoegaze, the complex arrangements of Tool and the Smashing Pumpkins, the moody post-goth rhythms and guitar lines sprung straight from records by the Cure. Not quite stoner rock either, but comfortable beside it in the way Sonic Youth was beside punk or Jane's Addiction beside metal. In their first run, accolades from Chicago publications (see below) and spots on Lollapalooza and supporting some of the best bands of the day painted a picture of a bright future, but artist development had begun to suffer industry-wide, music magazines disappeared, blogs on their way out, CD sales strangled by file sharing, their tag (us) being forced out of business, and the band not so much breaking up as dissipating from sheer lack of momentum. The album, always called Gold on Hold, sat recorded and mixed for more than 12 years until we were able to return for our 25th and it. Sybris decided to return as well, playing the famous 8k-attendee Dark Lord Day festival twice, two Chicago street fairs to packed blocks of people, and opening for Loc

Three years after their crushing debut Defiled In Oblivion, Castrator return with Coronation Of The Grotesque, an album that not only exceeds all expectations but leaves them shattered in it's wake, firmly cementing the band among the North American death metal elite. InchWe see it as a leap forward,Inch exclaims co-founder Carolina Perez (drums). InchIt's by far the strongest work we've done to date. Writing Coronation Of The Grotesque was an incredibly enjoyable experience, and everything seemed to come together much more naturally this time. While the album still retains elements of who we were as a band, it's much more refined, cohesive and brutal.InchThe creative collaboration is primarily driven by founders Carolina Perez and bassist Robin Mazen, with ferocious vocalist Clarissa Badini and newly recruited guitar virtuoso Sara Loerlein completing the lineup.InchSara has been fantastic. She's incredibly professional, brings a ton of new ideas, and her experience really shines through. She's added a fresh dynamic to the band, and her guitar leads are absolutely killer! We're really excited to have her as part of the band.InchLyrically, Coronation Of The Grotesque explores a range of historical and societal themes that reflect on injustice, victimization, and human suffering. Among the topics confronted are the tragic killing of Mahsa Amini, the ancient Sumerian practice of eunuchization, and seething condemnation of predator Naasón Joaquín García. Badini's exceptional vocals elevate the lyrics, delivering a powerful and precise expression of the album's themes.Coronation Of The Grotesque was recorded across multiple studios with key figures in the US death metal scene. Bass recording was engineered by John Tardy (Obituary) at Redneck Studios, guitars and vocals by Jordan Milner at Obsidian Audio, additional guitars by Taylor Nordberg (Deicide) at Smoke and Mirrors
In 1979, two school-kids all hopped-up on punk-rock started their own group in their hometown of Hawthorne, Los Angeles (birthplace of the Beach Boys) and soon found themselves opening shows for notorious scene pioneers Black Flag. Jeff McDonald was fifteen, his brother Steven McDonald only eleven. But that didn't stop their group from becoming one of the most remarkable, enduring and unique outfits punk-rock ever belched up. 2024, then, marks Redd Kross's forty-fifth birthday-an important anniversary for any group whose heart pulses at 45RPM-and the brothers are celebrating the event with a veritable multimedia extravaganza. There's a memoir, Now You're One Of Us, due in November, author Dan Epstein telling the group's story in the McDonalds' unmistakable (and occasionally contrary) voices. A brilliant rockumentary, Born Innocent, directed by Andrew Reich, will premiere later in the year. Most exciting of all, this new album-an eponymous double-album, no less, packed with eighteen of their sharpest, most addictive songs yet. These years of joyful service to rock'n'roll have seen Redd Kross evolve into a killer pop-rock concern, dealing in dayglo power-chords, choruses as tall as skyscrapers and a lyric sheet thick with acid couplets and arch pop-cultural references their loyal following will gobble up like quaaludes.
