IDES OF GEMINI TRACK

Hi there - the first preview track from the forthcoming Ides of Gemini album. The track is "Starless Midnight", the album is "Constantinople". The release date is May 15th. Good! Ides are also playing a bunch of upcoming shows in the LA area, so go and see them if you live down there.

IDES OF GEMINI "CONSTANTINOPLE" LP

We're happy to announce the next release on SIGE records, the debut full length from our friends Ides of Gemini. The LP will be released on May 15th via SIGE, and the CD version on Neurot Recordings around the same time. Here's a snippet about Ides of Gemini from their press release about the forthcoming album:

"The nine songs on Constantinople evince the light and shade of the IDES dynamic: the vicious and the atmospheric mingling in a spacious panorama of high white ether. Respected metal journalist Etan Rosenbloom described it best on MetalSucks.net: “Guitarist J. Bennett lays down imperial metal riffs swathed in so much reverb that they seem isolated from the rest of the world. Bassist/vocalist Sera Timms layers her affectless voice in ghostly counterpoint, turning tales of spiritual discord into disturbing lullabies…If something seems missing from Ides Of Gemini’s sound, that’s exactly the point. Their accretion of small musical gestures inverts metal’s normal use of space. They imply terror without ever exposing it. Each song is an accumulation of outlines, a sort of sonic daguerreotype.”

For further info, show info, video, etc please visit the band's site here.

Updates and audio clips to be posted here shortly.

Thank you.

HAPPY RELEASE DAY: MAMIFFER & LOCRIAN

As of today you can find the Mamiffer & Locrian "Bless Them That Curse You" 2xLP in finer record shops world wide (i.e. the US, some of Europe, and possibly a few other territories). If you don't already own this recording and would like to, please visit your local stockist today. If you can't get out of the house or love getting packages in the mail, this title is still available from our webshop. Thank you for your support.

SIGE RE-STOCK NOTICE, NEWS, ETC.

Also, we're planning on a SIGE re-release of the Mamiffer "Mare Decendrii" 2xLP, with alternate packaging and a related art/photo book. No definite date has been set for this, but we hope to get it going over the summer after the Ides of Gemini LP that's coming in May. More on both soon...

MAMIFFER & LOCRIAN 2xLP UPDATE

We're nearly sold out of a number of items at our webstore, including the Mamiffer & Locrian "Bless Them That Curse You" 2xLP, but we'll be re-stocking in the coming days.

SIGE RECORDS SOUNDCLOUD

Mamiffer & Locrian "In Fulminic Blaze" by SIGE
Mamiffer & Locrian "Corpus Luteum" by SIGE
Pharaoh Overlord "Rodent" by SIGE

SIGE now has a soundcloud page. You can visit that here. So far we've only got tracks up from our two newest releases (Mamiffer & Locrian, Pharaoh Overlord), but we'll add clips from our back catalog in the near future. Thank you....

Pharaoh Overlord Pre-order available now!

We are happy to announce the pre-order
for the vinyl version of Pharaoh Overlord's "Lunar Jetman" HERE.

Edition of 500, 100 black 400 clear.

"Lunar Jetman excavates Pharaoh Overlord's monolithic lineup of the previous decade’s live recordings. With the avant-wizard Hans Joachim Irmler (Faust) onboard, the crossfire of turbulent frequencies jolts the Lord's vacuum-sealed riffcraft on an incalculable orbit, where the restraint and bleakness vaguely resemblant of blues evolves into cathartic bursts of thrashing improvisations and moments of serenity. There is nothing ornamental in the menacing austerity of this album."

The CD can be pre-ordered at Ektro Records.

Preview of Corpus Luteum from Bless Them That Curse You
