Altamont

New album? HELL YEAH!! Go Altamont!

From the aptly named opening track "The Quiet Before the Storm" through the thundering conclusion of "Chain of Command", Chapel Hill, NC's BLACK SKIES throw their heavy hat into the ring with their latest EP "Hexagon". Together for just over three years, BLACK SKIES weave their songs with well-thought and executed riffs playing alongside a churning organic groove. This is tonal chemistry befitting of a legendary band sharing the same initials, yet with a decidedly American flavor. Through hard work BLACK SKIES has been making waves across the eastern half of the United States and continue gaining momentum with tours booked throughout 2009, including an appearance at this year's SXSW in Austin. If these six tracks serve as a fitting prelude of greater things to come, the next waves of attack from this sonic strike-force will truly be something to behold.

The limited edition vinyl pressing of "Hexagon" is available now to ship out 5/26/09 via I'm Better Than Everyone Records, and features exclusive cover artwork by Tom Denney.

Power Pellut pre-orders are up now!! Get them at imbetterthaneveryonerecords.com

Simply put, three Shreveport friends jammed and a band was born. However, pegging Louisiana's POWER PELLUT as simply the end result of a mere jam session would be a near-criminal disservice. This trio feasts on sonic dissonance and regurgitates thick, plodding and devastatingly heavy songs with emphasis on volume, catharsis and discomfort. With more than a cursory tip of the hat to Unsane, Melvins, Black Sabbath, the Jesus Lizard, and Merzbow, POWER PELLUT is a tribute to the ugliness that surrounds and consumes us all: an exercise in despair in the form of a song. To date, they've shared bills alongside Black Cobra, Jucifer, Black Skies, Collapsar, Rwake and Bible Of The Devil, among others, with more shows in the works.

POWER PELLUT's debut LP will be available to ship out June 2nd via I'm Better Than Everyone Records, and features artwork by Glyn Smith(Scrawled).

This edition will be an edition of 500 hand numbered, 200g vinyl. Records numbered 1-100 will be on turquoise vinyl and 101-500 will be on black vinyl.
