KREATION RECORDS VERSION - BACK IN PRINT AND NOW AVAILABLE ON GREEN / BLACK VINYL!!! Every small town encompasses that one long stretch of forest where kids run to get high, jam out, and just escape. For San Francisco-based stoner metal trio, Acid King vocalist, guitarist, frontwoman, and mastermind Lori Woods, Busse Woods offered such a retreat in her native Illinois as a teenager in the ’70s. This 3,700-acre section of the Cook County Forest Preserve system beckoned her during high school with its buffet of dope, frisbee challenges, and Black Sabbath blaring from numerous trunks well past sundown. Those days left such an imprint on Lori she titled Acid King’s second full-length released in 1999 Busse Woods. Celebrating its 20th year with a special reissue on Riding Easy Records and tour in 2019, it represents the heart and soul of the band. The album still exudes the same sense of mysticism it did upon release in 1999. As the story goes, Lori and bandmates Joey Osbourne (drums) and Brian Hill (bass) entered a practice space to write the full-length follow-up to their debut Down With The Crown. Organically, they jammed out five originals and a take on “39 Lashes” from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Jesus Christ Superstar. As everything gelled, they recorded with legendary engineer Billy Anderson. Prominent Bay Area artist Frank Kozik initially released the CD on his Man’s Ruin record label. Then “everything fell apart.” Behind the scenes, personal and professional relationships crumbled. Marriages ended. Lineups shifted. In the face...

***BACK IN PRINT WITH REDRAWN INNER SLEEVE ARTWORK!!! “ACID KING’s masterful CD and 10-inch split releases on Man's Ruin have been remastered and put out on one lovely piece of vinyl for your enjoyment. Free and Down With the Crown represent very early and heavy material from the band. Some of my personal favorite music in this genre. Amazing stuff. We had the original photo for each release recreated and hand drawn by legendary rock artist ALAN FORBES. Looks awesome! Inner gatefold art is also killer...two panel original works.”—Kreation. Pressed on red, white, black and blue vinyl.

***“Brilliant three-way split album from these amazing Finnish black metal artists. As usual strong material from the man called WYRD...really great HAIVE with nice folk elements (sucker for a mouth harp in my black metal) and perhaps the best for last, KEHRA...amazing stuff from this new band...reminds me of the ‘Cascadian Black Metal’ from up in this neck of the woods. Wolves in the Throne Room, Skagos, Fauna etc.”—Kreation. Black vinyl pressing, limited to 400 copies.

***“It is hard to describe the brilliance that is DODSFERD. Wrath, hailing from Greece makes some of the most fucked up, psychedelic (at least i think) and original black metal today. The riffs are totally black metal but bring some comparisons to the crusty punk, D-Beat stuff. But in a good way. The vocals are what really does it for me on this album. Great BM vocals up front with tripped out echoes in the background. Sick shit. The only way to really sum up this album is you need to hear it and make your own mind up....good luck!” Limited to 400 copies on black vinyl.

***NOW AVAILABLE ON VINYL!!! Voice of Saturn, the follow up to the band’s critically acclaimed release, Dog Magic, has arrived. Recorded at The Living Room in Atlanta (The Black Lips, Mastodon) with engineer ED RAWLS, Voice of Saturn pushes ZOROASTER’s heady mix of mammoth metal and psychotropic shoegaze to skyscraping new heights. From the galloping post-Sabbath rock of the roll out track “Spirit Molecule” to the concrete street cleaning of “Lamen of the Master Therion” and through to the tribal percussive vertebrae of the album’s “hidden” closer, Voice of Saturn administers in-the-red levels of both the band’s mysticism and barbarism in spades. The record features a guest appearance from friend and fellow Atlantean BRENT HINDS of MASTODON, who contributes a searing guitar solo to the song “White Dwarf.” Packaged in gatefold sleeves.
