Earth "The Bees Made Honey in the Lion’s Skull" Now Avaialble on Vinyl

Earth’s terrific new record The Bees Made Honey in the Lion’s Skull has been given a super-deluxe vinyl treatment by Southern Lord Records. More info and pictures below:

The excruciating wait is over! It is with honor that we are able to offer the deluxe double vinyl version of the latest recording from Earth: “the Bees Made Honey In The Lions Skull”. Featuring the exclusive vinyl only bonus track: “Junkyard Priest” (featuring Milky Burgess on slide!).

The audio was specifically mastered for vinyl and the LP lacquers were cut by Bob Weston (Shellac). Complimenting the audio is the supreme packaging presentation.

These 180 gram gold vinyl lps come housed in a over the top bible-esque triple gatefold jacket. Outside is faux leatherette with gold embossing. Think CSNY “Deja Vu” lp meets the Holy Bible!. Inside is the amazing artwork and photography from Arik Roper.

We feel that this may be the best packaging we have ever done, definitely a site to behold! Of course the pictures dont quite do it justice and you need to see and feel this in person to get the proper effect.

Pressing is 4980 total. (3k black, 1k clear (for European Distribution only), 980 Gold (mailorder ). Once these are gone we will not repress this version again. We think this was well worth the wait, we hope you do to!

Mastodon Boxset

If you can afford it, a Mastodon boxset has just been released through Relapse Records. More info below:

9 LP limited edition super deluxe box-set featuring Mastodon’s entire recorded output from the Lifesblood ep all the way through to Blood Mountain. This heavy duty box-set contains ‘Lifesblood’, ‘Remission’, ‘Leviathan’, ‘Call Of The Mastodon’, the final copies of ‘Blood Mountain’ ever to be pressed on vinyl and for the first time ever on any format-Mastodon’s blazing live set from the Relapse Contamination Festival in 2003. Also featured are 3 killer covers-their legendary version of Thin Lizzy’s ‘Emerald’, as well as 2 covers of both Melvins and Metallica, which have never before been on vinyl. Each lp is pressed on heavy-weight 180 gram vinyl for maximum stereo destroying sound! And to protect your record players from the crushing heaviness of over 5+ hours of Mastodon, each box set comes with a special Mastodon turntable slip-mat. Also included is a deluxe vinyl sticker pack. This box set is strictly limited to 1100 copies and will absolutely be the cornerstone of any record collection. Quite literally the heaviest box-set EVER!
