Sabbath Assembly - Restored to One

Well updates are coming less frequently than I had anticipated but finding a job to pay rent and fund further purchases is slightly more important. Sabbath Assembly is a 2 piece fronted by Jex Thoth and is centered around the hymns and writings of the Process Church of the Final Judgement. It feels like a recreation that appeals to the current generation but still keeping that psychedelic folk feel of the 60's. The entire album is amazingly atmospheric and beautiful from start to finish, it grows on me each time I spin it. I bought this on impulse after stumbling upon a track online and snatching up one of the three copies left on the Ajna Offensive site. I didn't know a whole lot about the church outside of the bits and pieces I've come across over the years. After picking up this album I did some solid reading about the history of the church and it's pretty fucking interesting and worth a read, plus I feel knowing the history makes this album that much better. The first pressing came on 180 gram gold vinyl limited to I believe 500(?) and a white repress. It doesn't look like it's for sale on The Ajna Offensive anymore but still may be available via Feral House. Pick this up, and turn it up loud enough so you're able to ignore everything for the next hour, fucking do it.

Weedeater - Jason...The Dragon

So for my first post I figured I would start with a rather new release and picked Weedeater - Jason... The Dragon, that I grabbed at their show back in March. It's been about 4 years, give or take, since Weedeater has released a new album, needless to say I was rather thrilled to see them selling this shit at their show. There's two different versions of the LP, the standard 180 gram black vinyl and the 180 gram green vinyl limited to 500. The album is a bit different from their other releases, not necessarily in a bad way, just different. It seems more thought out this time through where as the previous albums sound like a whiskey and weed induced jam session, which by the way is kick ass in my book. Listening to this from start to finish the first few songs are to the point and kick you in the teeth, the title track is at the center of the album and is a beast. After that the album goes into a minute long drum solo, two of Weedeaters slow paced southern country style jams similar to Alone off of God Luck and Good Speed. The album is still a nugget of southern sludge goodness and if you dig Weedeaters other releases then this will be a welcome addition to any sludge collection. With a total of 10 tracks clocking in at around 32 minutes, it's a solid album. As I listen to this album more it continues to grow on me, although I'm not sure if it will ever become one of my favorite releases by this band but it will stay in rotation for quite some time.

The Beginning

This blog as you might guess from the title is dedicated to vinyl records. The collection I have now is actually the second time I've collected records, being young and broke makes you sell what you can to make ends meet. My goal for this blog is to review both the music and the pressing itself, hopefully in the near future get a forum setup among other things to get the potential readers of this to discuss records with. Here's a little projectile vomit of genres to give you an idea of what I collect: Stoner Rock, Black Metal, Doom, Sludge, Drone, Post Metal & Rock, Classic Rock. Once I figure out a layout and get some banners I can tolerate I'll start posting something substantial and far less boring then this post. If everything goes smoothly I may actually get a couple people to read this and perhaps support my habit? We shall see.
