Guru Overload is released on Finnish label Oaken Palace in an edition of 500 copies pressed on 140gram red vinyl and packaged in a 100% recycled card sleeve with free download card. This is a pre-order. Orders are expected to ship in mid-October.
Eternal Tapestry will release a new album on Thrill Jockey in early 2015.
Guru Overload, mastered by James Plotkin, features 5 new jams that the band recorded in a private cabin deep in the woods. The album manages to strike a balance between the freaked-out A World Out Of Time and the more laid-back Dawn In 2 Dimensions, both in terms of style as well as track length. The result is a wonderfully smooth flow of new material that combines exotic and new sounds with the best of krautrock and psychedelic rock.
As with every release on Oaken Palace Records proceeds from Guru Overload will be donated to an endangered species foundation. Eternal Tapestry have already decided on the Orangutan. All profits will be donated to the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation.

The Body and Sandworm contribute full sides of brand new material for this vinyl-only split LP pressed on virgin vinyl with free download card. While supplies last mailorder customers will be treated to a clear vinyl edition (LIMITED TO ONLY 500).
The Body and Sandworm are two bands with roots in the Providence underground that take unbridled negativity and spin it in opposite directions. The Body, legendary in both underground extreme music enclaves and the wider community of metal fans, are masters of expansive expressions of pure sadness that incorporate sounds and instruments far beyond what is typical in the realm of heavy metal. Sandworm is the young and hungry duo of Ben Eberle and Pat Reilly, bursting out of the gate on this, their first proper release, with a collection of raw and elemental black metal. On several songs they are joined by Mindy Stock of Virusse on drums. The contrast between the corrosive guitars and concise blasts of energy that Sandworm offers up and the grisly, detailed sprawl of the side-long track “The Manic Fire” by The Body displays the diversity of the Providence scene and amplifies each band’s unique abilities to create meaningful expressions of darkness and anger.
This is a pre-order for October 21st street date. Any orders containing The Body/Sandworm split will ship on or slightly before the street date.

upcoming releases from our friends at MusicOnVinyl
Snakes and Ladders is the fourth album by Gerry Rafferty. It was released in 1980, following the success of his previous two albums, City to City and Night Owl. The album charted at No. 15 in the UK and reached No. 61 in the US Album Charts.
The song "The Garden Of England" was recorded at Beatles producer George Martin's AIR studio in Montserrat. All the songs were original Rafferty compositions, though one – "Johnny's Song" – was a remake of a song which had been previously released by his former band Stealer's Wheel, and another – "Didn't I" – was a remake of a song from Rafferty's 1971 album Can I Have My Money Back.
The memorable melodies, moving allegories, and genuine lyrical warmth that Rafferty is revered for arise in some more tracks, like in the beauty of "Bring It All Home" or in the mystique of "Look At The Moon". "Royal Mile" was released as a single in the U.K.

Black Dub is the debut album by the Daniel Lanois-instigated collaboration Black Dub. The quartet, comprised of producer Daniel Lanois on guitar and vocals, jazz drummer extraordinaire Brian Blade, session bassist Daryl Johnson, and vocalist/keyboardist Trixie Whitley (daughter of the late great Chris Whitley) make a beguiling, seductive music that blurs Rock, Soul, Blues, gothic Americana, New Orleans Funk, and dubwise Reggae.
The band generated significant excitement when they released stark, black-and-white videos of their rehearsals and leaked concert footage from a show at Bowery Ballroom in New York. All songs on Black Dub are written by Lanois, save for two, the group effort "Last Time" and the song "Ring The Alarm" written by Tenor Saw. The ballads "I Believe in You," "Surely," "Silverado," and "Nomad" are stellar showcases for Whitley's deeply soulful contralto. She rises above the band and soars, delivering these lyrics as if they are her own; she goes straight to the heart of the listener with that voice, regardless of genre.

Bush Doctor is the third studio album by Jamaican reggae musician Peter Tosh. Along with Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer he was one of the core members of the band The Wailers (1963–1974). Tosh also established himself as a successful solo artist. In 1978 he was contracted by Rolling Stones Records and the album Bush Doctor was released in the same year, introducing Tosh to a larger audience.
The single from the album, a cover version of The Temptations song "Don't Look Back", performed as a duet with Mick Jagger, made Tosh one of the best-known reggae artists. Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards is also featured on the album, playing guitar on "Bush Doctor" and "Stand Firm".
The re-issue with remastered audio is pressed on 180 gram audiophile vinyl.

Currently celebrating its 20th anniversary, the sludge/stoner metal linchpin "Deliverance" -- the first C.O.C. album to feature Pepper Keenan on lead vocals exclusively -- marked the group's first entry onto the Billboard Top 200, and it remains their best-selling title to this day.
Praised by Kerrang! as a "true '90s classic," the album will once again be available on vinyl after being out-of-print for nearly two decades with a new-and-improved gatefold jacket in three different 180-gram colors: green (approx. 700 copies), black (approx. 200 copies) and red (approx. 100 copies).

Freshly inducted into Decibel Magazine's Hall of Fame, "Blind" (originally released on Relativity Records in 1991) saw C.O.C. move away from their crossover past with a more streamlined, metallic thrash sound. Hailed by All Music Guide as "one of the most important heavy rock albums of the decade," the album -- the group's first with Pepper Keenan -- has never before been released on vinyl in North America.
The Prosthetic edition of "Blind" will be a gatefold double-LP available in three different 180-gram colors: purple (approx. 700 copies), black (approx. 200 copies) and clear (approx. 100 colors). A color lyric insert and liner notes by music journalist Chris Dick will also be included, as will three bonus tracks from the 1995 Columbia Records re-release of the album.

Their follow-up to the experimental four-disc Zaireeka, The Soft Bulletin is an emotional, lush, often symphonic pop masterpiece with distinct melodies amidst the swirl of textures and tones. Yet for all its headphone friendly innovations, the music is still amazingly accessible, never sacrificing popcraft in the name of radical experimentation.

LP includes red colored vinyl, and download card limited to 500 copies. The U.S. version of this album will come with 6 bonus tracks, on red clear color vinyl, and different artwork than the UK version. Shoreditch, London, England’s debut album is gonna be one that will instantly shock all of your senses. Rachel’s vocal range is one of an angle. Like a young Choir school child she can sing high or low in any range without cracking at all. The effect that her voice has over everyone is simply memorizing. The simplicity of the three piece is one that does not need to be mixed with any modern technology in any way as Rachel’s voice is a true instrument that can out perform any modern instrument
