Solar Funeral :: Media For The End Of Time

[TRANSMISSION A.D. 1.6.2010]

It has been a lean year, financially, so the label has been taking it slow. Time to get back in to gear. Here is what is on the immediate horizon:

I am happy to announce that details are being worked out for me to co-release the next GASMASK TERRÖR 12" with French label, I FEEL GOOD. The band has just recorded the basic tracks.
Believe it or not, the PARALYZER 12" is actually going to happen.
TOMB 4 song demo CASSETTE should be done in the early part of 2010. Split release with the mighty SACRED TAPES.

Distro update: NEEDLES: Desastre 7" (*SOLD OUT), N/N: Pasivos Muerto 7", SELFISH / FORCA MACABRA: split live CASSETTE.

Black Dove: No Future/No Fate 12"

AVAILABLE NOW! 45 RPM 12". 9 bloody tracks of heavy, ferocious hardcore punk from Ohio in under 22 minutes. The music is unrelenting, ugly and driving without being formulaic. The lyrics are bleak, but are not without hope and the will to search for what is beyond the grave. Recorded on 2" analog tape. Silver foil artwork. Released in conjunction with Chrome Leaf.

MP3: Hordes of Lampadas
MP3: Doom Dream

Black Dove: December 2005 demo CASSETTE **OUT OF PRINT**

5 song demo finally put to its proper format. Run of 100 on printed, high-fidelity black cassettes. Recorded at Ultrasuede Studios in Cincinnati on 2" analog tape. The band also self-released roughly 300 of the same songs on a silk screened CDr.

MP3: Why Do Babies Cry

[SOLAR003]
Fighting Dogs 7" E.P.

**FINAL COPIES** From their final recording session, this E.P. contains 3 songs, 2 new ones and 1 re-recorded that previously appeared on the 2005 tour demo. Hailing from Baltimore and Philadelphia, this is their 4th release; a testament to the progression of their sound. The lyrics tell tale of a blackened earth, but not without the will to dream. The music is nestled somewhere between the early Peaceville sound and modern, Swedish crust. Pressing of 500. This comes in a full-color sleeve with 2 sided insert. Cover art by Moses Saarni.

MP3: Hammer Of The Light

$4.00 black vinyl.
Stores/distros, get in touch for wholesale.

[SOLAR002]
The Awakening: Eternal Blizzard 12" **SOLD OUT**

Released in conjunction with Life Under One Tree (Japan), Namennayo Record (Japan), and Steppenwolf Recording (France/Luxembourg). For those of you that remember this band, The Awakening lasted for a short, two+ years (2000 - 2002) and played nearly 90 shows. This record has 16 songs, total. Influenced by mid 90s Japanese/Scandanavian hardcore and 80s speed metal, this includes the Final Feast 7", The Burning Wind 7", the Virginia Black Lung: Sea Of Steel split 7", and 6 unreleased songs from the final recording. All of the songs were recorded on 2" analog tape at Mars Studios.

CD version to come out later this year (?). It will also include the demo and probably some live tracks as well.

*I am sold out of this record, but you can still pick it up at Hardcore Holocaust, Blood Harvest, Blindead, Nuclear War Now!, Velted Regnub, Ebullition and Life Under One Tree.

MP3: Thirst At The Edge Of Death

[SF001]
Dismal: Terra Plague 7" E.P.

Raw, pissed, fast Scandanavian influenced (eg. Anti-Cimex, 1st Skitsystem 7") crust / hardcore with tinges of Amebix and Celtic Frost (Morbid Tales era) here and there. When the moon is gone and the octopods take over, this record will be your only defense. 5 songs, comes with a poster depicting your brutal future. Survival is your torture...heal now or perish!

MP3: Octopods Will Be The Genus Of A Moonless Earth

$3.00 black vinyl.
