January update overload!

Riding on the wave of our last MASSIVE update less than a month ago (with eight new shirts/hoodies from MAN IS THE BASTARD, TORCHE, RAEIN, RAINBATH VISUAL and more), we're plenty busy packing all the latest orders and keeping the Robotic Empire - Online Store stocked with fresh jams. No rest for da wicked, here's the latest round of new bangers and restocks to our lil' olde shoppe:

New to our shelves this go around is a plethora of burly tunes, including the debut album on vinyl from RVA heathens BALACLAVA (which was subsequently released on CD by the venerable Southern Lord), a weird BRUTAL TRUTH import LP, long-named but high quality CTTTOAFF doom bludgeonry, GIVE UP THE GHOST (American Nightmare) fancy reissues courtesy of Deathwish, the latest KRALLICE mindwarp 2xLP, the surprising LOMA PRIETA new album (and related PUNCH ep), an ULHOLY GRAVE LP we thought we were ripped off on for sure (NO possibility of restocks on that one), ZOROASTER vinyl galore, some other random jibba jab, plus lotsa releases from bands with "rat" in their name!

On the restock tip, we're talkin turkey about AUSTRASIAN GOAT, CIGARETTE, CONVERGE, FELL VOICES, GODFLESH, GAYS & QUEERS, several more "rat" bands, LSD AND THE SEARCH FOR GOD, MEWITHOUTYOU, NACHTMYSTIUM, SALOME, THOU THOU THOU, TRAP THEM, YOB and more! Here's the full lists for yas:

TILTS kickstarter - home stretch (last few days!)

We're officially in the home stretch now with just 4 days left to go on the TILTS Kickstarter campaign!

I've got to be honest, my OCD is gonna have a slight conniption if we don't reach that smooth 3k mark (we're roughly a hundred bucks away)! Its partly an even-number thing, and its partly a "costs covered" kind of thing, as we'll be able to pay for the vinyl pressing up front in full if we hit that 3k mark. T-shirts, hoodies and all the other cool non-music extras will be stuff we'll still be forking out for, but the whole point of this wild project was to see if we could get this LP pressed in full through Kickstarter funding.

If you're willing to help spread the word, even just a quick Facebook or Twitter post, maybe on another forum you post on or your blog... please know, it'd actually be genuinely appreciated. This Kickstarter campaign really would not have worked out without kind folks (and the press) spreading the word, saying kind things on their blog and elsewhere... it means so much to us at the label and the band as well. We're all VERY excited to get the finished LPs, which are in the initial stages of production already :)

THANK YOU to everyone and anyone who's helped contribute to this project in any way, be it pledging for the album, talking trash on a message board, just listening to and enjoying the tunes... or any other way you may have interacted with this crazy thing.

Thanks again, peace!

-Team Robo
