The new album from prolific solo cellist Alison Chesley (a.k.a. HELEN MONEY) is now available to order on CD format. Recorded and mixed by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio and featuring Jason Roeder of Neurosis and Sleep on warhammers, “Arriving Angels” is a vision where classical music, experimental, ambient, and meditative drone all work in conspiracy to unearth one of the most singular and unique albums we’ve had the pleasure of releasing.
ASH BORER – Selft-Titled Debut Now Available To Order On CD, European Tour Announced
For the first time ever on CD format, ASH BORER’s stunning debut album from 2011 (previously only available on cassette and vinyl format) re-mastered for this version, in turn rendering the three time-stretching tracks more devastating and powerful. Packaged in a faux-leather gatefold CD jacket adorned with red-foil text (view HERE), this is now available to order exclusively through our website prior to its official Jan 22 release date.
Also with the band’s appearance at this year’s Roadburn Fest, ASH BORER will also embark on a European tour (with Fell Voices) that will lead up to the band’s…
PORTAL – Complete Work On New Album
Australian surrealist death metal terror unit PORTAL have completed work on their anticipated fourth full-length album entitled “Vexovoid”, the four year follow-up to their “Swarth” predecessor.
Taking their sound of singular death metal psychosis by creating their darkest and most-dense sounding album to date, “Vexovoid” carries the tradition PORTAL have laid upon since their inception 18 years ago. Through the band’s strange, unsettling, avant-garde, and polarizing take on death metal (on a musical, lyrical, visual, and aesthetical level), throughout the years PORTAL have shape-shifted and inverted the genre into multiple realms of dementia. “Vexovoid”, as expected, is another…
HELEN MONEY – Completes Work On New Album, New MP3 Available

Engineered and mixed at Electrical Audio by legendary music icon Steve Albini, and featuring drummer Jason Roeder (of Neurosis and Sleep) on drums on four songs, “Arriving Angels”, which follows up her 2009 release “In Tune”, sees Chesley create her most dense and varying work to date. Armed with her cello and an assortment of pedals, Chesley uses and applies her instrument in unconventional, unique, ethereal and ominous ways, through the vessel of mixing such influences as classical, chamber, and experimental…

BELL WITCH – “Longing” Now Available To Order
The despondent debut album from Seattle extreme doom metal duo BELL WITCH is now available to order from our website. One of the heaviest, saddest, and emotionally draining doom metal albums you’ll hear all year, “Longing” is a colossal and monstrous sounding opus of introverted doom metal art.
HELEN MONEY To Release New Full-Length Through Profound Lore
Profound Lore, as one of its first releases of 2013, will be releasing the new full-length album from avant-classical virtuoso cellist Helen Money (aka Alison Chesley). Entitled “Arriving Angels”, this is the third full-length album Chesley has recorded under the moniker Helen Money. She created Helen Money to showcase her compositions and her very uncommon approach on the cello, but also has quite the repertoire at her disposal.

01/15 Winnipeg, MB @ Garrick Centre
01/16…
