Pretty sure I posted the link to download the whole album (vinyl) rip, but that was of course before the government went all 1984 on megaupload, etc.

Ltd 100 "cassette only" band discography dropped two weeks back on Land of Decay. Wtf is this anti cd phenomenon? Cassette sounds like ass over time, and vinyl is just a pain to maintain. It's just too damn hard to get intimate with an album in this day an age. The bottle of Old Rasputin, candles, midnight RC posting sessions, are next to nil at this juncture of existence. Give me a damn compact disc so I can support you hipster fucks properly heh?

http://stereogum.com/1076271/ash-borer-descended-lamentations-stereogum-premiere/mp3s/

finally got around to this ... maybe I need Grados but this rather blows 5 minutes in.

might need repeated listens or booze.

the Pitchfork review and another track ...

http://www.pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/17004-cold-of-ages/

this new one is not doing anything for me.

 

[General Zod]

Good review...

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/51367/Ash-Borer-Cold-Of-Ages/

Not surprisingly, I'm digging this more than the S/T. While I appreciate that BM is suppose to have shitty... I'm sorry, atmospheric production, I much prefer music I can hear... at least a little.

 

[lurch70]

i dont think the debut had bad production ... it just felt more full and somehow "heavy" ... this feels more cold and clinical to me.

 

[General Zod]

Honestly, I never made it through the debut. It bored me. This, however, has completely kept my attention.

 

[lurch70]

haven't sat through anything besides these samples off of the new one ...

but they severly lacked headbanging fury which the debut has plenty
