NEW ARRIVAL _________________
▪️PORTRAYAL OF GUILT..Beginning of the End
(Total Black Vinyl Edition)

Portrayal of Guilt made an immediate impact in underground circles with their debut Let Pain Be Your Guide by mixing nihilistic hardcore, black metal, classic screamo, and imaginative textures. We Are Always Alone and CHRISTF*CKER LPs followed in 2021, the band’s breakout body blows that corroded the band’s commitment to genre, nodding at industrial music, post-metal, sludge and even post-hardcore, all while cementing the band’s tendencies toward experimentalism.

Clocking in at around 32 minutes across eleven new tracks, …Beginning of the End was recorded and mixed by Phillip Odom between March-June 2025 with mastering handled by Will Yip. …Beginning of the End embraces both the groove and avant garde, revisiting the raw, teeth-gnashing intensity of their previous work while toying with nu-metal, alternative rock, trip hop, dark ambient and other disparate influences. The latest effort feels like a band that has traversed every shadowy corner of heavy music, distilling their decade of innovation and knowledge into a singular show of force, recalling moments of greatness found on releases from Deftones, Massive Attack, Dystopia, Deathspell Omega, Celtic Frost and Cursed among many others.

STAFF PICK / NEW ARRIVALS ______
▪️HIS NAME IS ALIVE "Reissues"
Livornia (Black Vinyl)
Home is in Your Head (Black Vinyl)
Mouth by Mouth (Black Vinyl)

His Name is Alive, the long-standing ethereal darkwave project of Michigan musician Warren Defever, have repressed the band’s first three records on 4AD – Livonia, Home Is In Your Head, and Mouth By Mouth

Recently reissued in 2024 as part of a quickly sold-out colored vinyl boxset entitled How Ghosts Affect Relationships: 1990-1993, with audio sourced from the original analogue tapes and remastered by Defever himself, each album will now be available on Standard Black Vinyl.

His Name is Alive has a long history with 4AD, signed to the label in 1989, after label founder Ivo Watts-Russell fell in love with their dark and fragmented sonic inclinations via cassette demos sent in the post. While His Name Is Alive’s sound was in line with the gothic echoes of labelmates Cocteau Twins and Dead Can Dance, they also had a different, nonpareil quality, something existing on the boundary of this earth and another realm further underground.

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 ARRIVAL ______________
✖️ KNUMEARS
▪️Directions
(Limited Edition on Black Ice Vinyl)

Knumears understand that no band exists in a vacuum. They are an embodiment of a sonic tradition, one that’s been molded and shaped for decades and can only be carried by those who truly love it. Call it screamo, skramz, post-hardcore or whatever else-it’s a sound that’s somehow endured through years of changing musical tides and is now impacting a whole new generation of underground musicians. Now Knumears’ debut album, Directions, is equal parts love letter and cartography project, one that explores the deep history of a convoluted scene while creating an exciting blueprint for a new one.

Directions is an exceptionally urgent sounding album- even for a visceral genre like screamo. Knumears’ traffic in a sound that’s hyper-immediate yet notoriously difficult to define: it evolved from the primordial ooze of late ‘80s hardcore, earning the “post” signifier in the most literal way, then shifted in the ‘90s into something even more emotionally wrought and musically chaotic with bands like Heroin, Pg. 99, and Orchid. The sound evolved further with another boom in the late 2000s/early 2010s as Loma Prieta, Touche Amore, and more boiled the music into something more direct and even at times catchy in its own caustic way. Now Knumears and their contemporaries find themselves at the forefront of a modern screamo landscape.

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.

AN INTERVIEW WITH RIVAL CONSOLES ///

Rather than simply mastering the elemental forces of the dancefloor, Ryan Lee West - the London-based producer behind Rival Consoles - has spent the last 16 years carving out a space of his own, somewhere between the expansive architecture of electronic and the intimate poignancies that can blossom from both digital and analog touch. His ninth and latest full-length album via Erased Tapes, Landscape from Memory, emerges from a period of creative stagnation which saw West looking for unfamiliar sources of inspiration outside of his typical Hackney studio. The final result, one of his most vivid and multi-layered to date, is full of striking contrasts: euphoric outbursts like "Catherine" and "Jupiter" meet with the fragmented, impressionistic deconstructions heard on "Tape Loop" and "Nocturne", all woven together with West’s signature sensitivity and textural nuance.

Above all, Landscape from Memory stays true to West’s ever-growing commitment to inserting emotion into his synth-centered compositions, forging the restless and the reflective into one singular, invigorating travelogue of sound. We spoke with West about unlearning old habits, the tactile nature of sound, how memory can shape melody and the shifting relationship between image and music in his work.

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.

NEW ARRIVAL _________________
▪️DANNY BROWN
▪️Stardust
▪️(Limitex Edition on Double White Vinyl)

Stardust is Danny Brown at his most free – stepping outside the frame to make something raw, melodic, and a little unhinged.

The production comes from a crazy cast of outsiders, including Frost Children, Underscores, Femtanyl and more. Pulling from experimental pop and underground electronics, the final product is messy, emotional, and held together with a strange kind of clarity.

NEW ARRIVAL _____________
▪️LAUREL HALO
▪️Midnight Zone OST
▪️(Black Vinyl)

Laurel Halo returns with an album of original soundtrack music, composed for the film Midnight Zone by visual artist Julian Charrière.

Following the path of a drifting Fresnel lighthouse lens as it descends through the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone (a remote abyssal plain in the Pacific Ocean, rich in rare metals and increasingly targeted for deep-sea mining), the film traces a descent into one of Earth’s last untouched ecosystems. It reveals the deep not as void, but as a luminous biome teeming with fragile life: bioluminescent creatures, swirling schools of fish, and elusive predators. The suspended lens becomes an abyssal campfire, attracting species caught in the tides of uncertainty, their futures hanging in the balance.

Echoing this tension, Halo’s compositions evoke a sensory freefall, where gravity falters and light and sound flicker in uncertain rhythms. Midnight Zone is a sonic drift through the space between what we seek to extract, fail to understand, and must protect, evoking the life that exists beyond our physical airbound capacity.
