I have the Iron Monkey/Church of Misery split, and it rocks. Stoner sludge and stoner doom. Great stuff.
It's a shame when record labels with significant releases go bankrupt, because then all that great music becomes hard to find. All that needs to happen is a willing label needs to negoiate rights and royalties with the bankrupt label's (former) owner, since the bankrupt label still owns the music. Thing is, usually the bankrupt label owner wants a big portion of the royalties.
It a shame though: Ars Metalli, Man's Ruin, Misanthropy.....
I once emailed Century Media's owner about the label signing the rights to old Misanthropy bands. This, of course, was when old Primordial and old In the Woods were fairly difficult to find, and maybe a year or two before The End really took off. He said that their wasn't enough of a demand for those old recordings compared to what a band like Dimmu Borgir can bring in. Primordial and In the Woods compard to Dimmu Borgir? Dumbass.
