MASSIVE Robotic Empire Online Store Updates, plus ISIS "Panopticon" 2xLP re-press!

Good god, this update took us TWO FULL DAYS to assemble & upload, and a solid month worth of amassing stuff to bring you what is probably the Robotic Empire Online Store's biggest update... to date! Over 140 new items have been added to the webstore this weekend and a whole lot of exclusive colored vinyl and other stuff unique to our site (ie, no other distros carry many of these new items). We dug deep for this one folks, so please take a minute to go over the massive list of new CDs, LPs, 7"s, t-shirts and other stuff we've brought into our possession over the past month, which can be found below.


First off though, we re-pressed the ISIS Panopticon 2xLP again. Yeah we know, it's not the box set and how many different pressings of this stuff are there now? Well, this is the fourth press of the US version of Panopticon and we did it a little differently this time around, making the colored vinyl the less-limited of the pressing. We also hearkened back to the very first pressing (nearly three years ago) of opaque orange and opaque blue for inspiration, using the same color schemes but with different results. So we present to you a "deep sea" blue and "exploding" orange vinyl as well.

If you've been living under a rock and haven't heard ISIS yet, they're a heavy band that uses a lot of space in their songs to create powerful dynamics. They've gotten pretty popular over the years, and will marking their 10th anniversary with a string of shows starting immediately:

11/01 - New York, NY @ The Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza - w/ Oxbow, 27
11/02 - Philadelphia, PA @ the Trocadero Theater - w/ Oxbow, 27
11/03 - Cambridge, MA @ The Middle East (Downstairs) - w/ Oxbow, 27
11/04 - Cambridge, MA @ The Middle East (Downstairs) - w/ Clouds, 27
11/14 - Seattle, WA @ Neumo's - w/ These Arms Are Snakes, 27
11/15 - Vancouver, BC @ Richards on Richards - w/ These Arms Are Snakes, 27
11/16 - Portland, OR @ The Hawthorne Theater - w/ Wolves In The Throne Room, 27
11/18 - San Francisco, CA @ Slim's - w/ Big Business, 27
11/19 - San Luis Obispo, CA @ Downtown Brew - w/ Big Business, 27
11/20 - Los Angeles, CA @ The Troubadour - w/ Big Business, 27

They have four songs posted on their myspace page, one of which is from Panopticon

NOTE: ** PLEASE DO NOT INQUIRE ABOUT THE BOX SET JUST YET! WE WILL POST ANOTHER UPDATE WITH INFORMATION AS SOON AS WE HAVE IT AVAILABLE **

In other Robotic Empire Online Store news, Level Plane conveniently stopped being mad at us after 29north shut down and we were finally able to stock up on the bulk of their awesome titles... including a veritable shit-ton of colored vinyl for all the collector fiends amongst us. Also with the closing of 29north brought us a lot of stock from the labels they once distributed, including most of the catalog releases from Hyperrealist (BARONESS, GET RAD, LORDS, etc) and Shock Value (colored vinyl abound, yes)!

TORCHE's In Return 10"+CD release sold out insanely fast but there were some manufacturing problems with the re-press, so we're still a solid 2 weeks away from having more copies of it. In the meantime, we recommend you get your weedy-music fill with the debut CANNABIS CORPSE album Blunted At Birth, just released on vinyl! Local legends in the making Forcefield Records made 400 of these on "stoned eyeball" colored vinyl. This release is so good, and definitely comes highly recommended!

We've also decided (after several extensive OCD-like complaints) to ship all of our large-format vinyl OUTSIDE of the jackets from now on. If you don't want your order(s) shipped this way... too bad: we've already removed about 90% of our stock from the jackets! In all seriousness though, this should prevent damage during shipment better than ever. We want this mailorder operation to work as smoothly as possible for both parties involved (us and you), so we will continue to improve our shipping methods in attempts to get your package(s) to your doorstep as quickly and safely as possible. That being said, this is still a super small business run out of a house so please be patient if your order takes more than a week to arrive, as we get backed up kinda easily (and slow at replying to email as a result).

A slick new webstore is about 90% finished too, and shouldn't be too much farther off! In the meantime, the current Robotic Empire Online Store still works fine so please help keep us busy:
