Our Love Will Destroy The World - Beautiful Monolith Two 7"

Speaking of Birchville Cat Motel, last month Campbell Kneale - also the mastermind behind that other New Zealand outfit Black Boned Angel released a new 7" under his noise-alias Our Love Will Destroy The World. Campbell Kneale unleashes 2 terrifying sick new tracks pushing the boundaries of experimental music even further, and sounding more like Merzbow or Wolf Eyes than anything he's done before.

The "Beautiful Monolith Two" 7" comes in a limited edition of 500 copies, of 150 on blue and 350 copies on black vinyl. Order it from Second Layer and don't forget about that Bark Haze / Our Love Will Destroy The World split 7" I reported about some weeks ago.

Bark Haze / Our Love Will Destroy the World - Split 7"

Krayon Records have 2 amazing split 7"s available. I'm most excited about the Bark Haze / Our Love Will Destroy the World split, but also definitely worth mentioning is the Infinite Light / Vibracathedral Orchestra split - who would've thunk the Vibracethedral Orchestra were still around? Anyway, back on topic, here's a split 7" between Bark Haze and Our Love Will Destroy The World.

Bark Haze is an improv collaboration project between Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and Andrew MacGregor of Gown. Our Love Will Destroy the World is a band by another multitasker called Campbell Kneale, who most of us know from Birchville Cat Motel and Black Boned Angel! The artwork for this split 7" was made by Campbell Kneale and Kim Gordon by the way!

Not exactly specified, but both these 7"s reek of "limited", so get your order in from Krayon Recordings as soon as you can.

Black Boned Angel - Verdun LP

Well hell, speaking of Black Boned Angel. Turns out Riot Season are taking pre-orders for "Verdun", the new album by Black Boned Angel! Hooray!

Here's the release info from the label: "The eagerly awaited and much delayed (our fault!) new studio album from Black Boned Angel. Described by Rock-A-Rolla magazine as the bands "most sombre and realised work to date", and who are we to argue ?

Sharing a similarly bleak ground to Corrupted, Sunn 0))) and Earth, New Zealand's Black Boned Angel return with their fourth full length album 'Verdun', and perhaps their most sombre and fully-realised work to date.The Battle of Verdun was fought between the German and French armies, and was one of the critical battles during World War 1 on the Western Front. It resulted in more than a quarter of a million battlefield deaths and at least half a million wounded. Verdun was the longest battle and one of the most devastating in World War 1 and indeed in history. Over the course of 50 minutes, BBA soundtrack that brutal conflict with their trademark dark ambient drones and doom-laden riffs."

Limited edition black and colored vinyl LP, available for pre-order from Riot Season

Nadja / Black Boned Angel - Split LP

Back to the metal. Or sort of. This is a release I'm definitely spending my money on: the collaboration between Nadja and Black Boned Angel. Nadja are in my book similar to Boris, meaning that it's quite impossible to own all their records because they seem to release something every month. Black Boned Angel is also known under his other monniker Birchville Cat Motel. These 2 drone/metal soloplayers actually collaborated before on the one-sided Christ Send Light LP (which is still available from Conspiracy by the way), and as far as I've understood, this is more material from these recording sessions. To top things off, the artwork is also a collaboration between two heavyweights; David D’Andrea and Stephen Kasner.

20 Buck Spin don't have the LP available online, but you can order yours from Insound
