Robotic Empire Update - Creation Is Crucifixion Pre-orders and Isis Repress!

Hi everyone, the moment so many folks have been asking about is finally here. We are officially taking pre-orders for the Creation is Crucifixion - Antenna Builder + Rerecorded Splits / Live in Geneva 2x12" records today!


Pittsburgh tech-metal hactivists Creation is Crucifixion emulate Lazarus with a double-LP collecting their last recordings along with an impressive live set.

The long-rumored Antenna Builder track, the 'final' recording by Creation is Crucifixion's last active lineup is a 9-minute opus that brilliantly merges CIC's heavy technical metal along with the noise passages the band became renown for. As one of the highest-fidelity recordings from the band's extensive output, the lineup's similarly oppressive Rerecorded Splits material fleshes out the first 12" in this gatefold double-LP package.

Accompanying the studio-recordings 12" is a live LP from a classic CIC's set on their last European tour, captured live in Geneva during May of the millennial year. These 15+ year recordings showcase tracks from across the band's catalog of material, with a higher clarity than some of their raw studio recordings.

Specifically mastered for vinyl by James Plotkin, the Creation Is Crucifixion - Antenna Builder + Rerecorded Splits / Live In Geneva 2xLP comes housed in a stark black and white gatefold jacket with gold ink overlaid. A digital download of the full release is included. 2 color options available, Metallic Gold or Black Vinyl.

Again, this is a pre-order and we expect the records to arrive to us the last week of February, we'll begin shipping ASAP once we have our anxious little hands on them. Keep in mind that anything else you add to your order with the Creation Is Crucifixion records will not ship till end of Feb. If you want to pick up additional items and want them sooner, please make a separate order just for those, thanks.


Also exciting to announce is that we have a fresh repress of Isis' Celestial 2x12" with new color options available in the online shop! These are here at Robo Headquarters and shipping now. Check out these beauties, we think the new colors turned out great.


Our previous distro update was loaded with lots of good tunes, please look over the list below as most items are still available. We're also still running our bandcamp sale till the end of the month so head on over to our BANDCAMP PAGE! All albums are 20% off with the coupon code “NEWYEARNEWME”. Go grab some tunes on the cheap! Great way to check out something new, there’s tons of great music on there, we know you’ll find something to give a listen to.

We've got a big year ahead of us with LOTS of releases on deck so if you can place an order either in our Robotic Empire - Online Store or on our BANDCAMP PAGE it will help direct fund lots of cool new projects across the year! Thanks so much everyone!

Robotic Empire 2016 New Year Update!

Happy New Year Everyone! Hoping your year end festivities were a blast and 2016 is starting off on a good foot!

Well, after our massive Black Friday sale we hunkered down and got to work restocking the Robotic Empire - Online Store with some serious goodies for you to start off the new year with. As you'll see below on the full lists, we've got some badass cassettes to offer you from Broken Press in Seattle who is now releasing some tapes that come with silk screened J-Cards (of course!). A Terminal Fuzz Terror tape is amongst those which we are extremely stoked on! Meridian Arc is certainly worth checking out too, it's a side project from Andy of TFT. And if you've not picked up the Terminal Fuzz Terror album we released last year for them, we still have a handful of the deluxe versions available here: Deluxe TFT! These come with a lovely embroidered patch and silk screened tote bag.

We picked up a hefty amount of items from Magic Bullet Records and Deathwish including the new Cult Leader, Loma Prieta, and lots of 7"s this time around. We usually don't carry too many of those little dudes anymore so if you're a 7" collector now's the time to stock up! An import album by Year of No Light is up for sale in the shop too but we only have a few so grab one if you're keen. There are deluxe reissues of Neurosis albums at a good price, these are mega heavy, look and sound amazing! And last but not least, if you are into the band Low we highly recommend you pick up the Pyrit album we brought in from Bookmaker records in France, who also released the Henryspenncer album we did digital for and have vinyl for in the shop. This is seriously making the best of 2015 list for us. Can't stop jamming it, only have a few, check it out! Our restock list is nothing to shake a stick at, most of these have been flying out the door as fast as we can stock them so we picked up more as soon as we possibly could.

For our digital download folks, we're running a sale on our BANDCAMP PAGE for the rest of the month of January. All albums are 20% off with the coupon code "NEWYEARNEWME". Go grab some albums on the cheap! Great way to check out something new, there's tons of great music on there, we know you'll find something to give a listen to.

Now yes, we know things have been quiet on the new release front for Robotic Empire but rest assured 2016 is going to pack a punch. So many releases planned, lots going into production as we speak and a few about to finish up soon. Lots of folks have been asking about the Creation is Crucifixion release and yes, it's still happening and it's currently in production. Looking at an early spring release date for that one. Thanks for all the comments and questions on it, we're really impatient to get this one out there for you guys!


Another release we're very excited and honored to be a part of is the newest Man Is the Bastard album titled "The Honesty Shop". This thing is going to be blowing minds all year long and just wait till you see the gorgeous packaging we have in store for you on this one. Deluxe versions will be available too that include special goodies but will only be for mailorder through us. This is a limited pressing and we hope to have this one ready as winter comes to a close. In our excitement over this, we're putting all the MITB T-Shirts on sale for the rest of the month. 3 designs to choose from, if you're amped on the upcoming release, show some support and pick up a shirt!

Alright, enough talk, here's the full list below with new items to the shop and restocks too. Thanks everyone for all the support you sent our way in 2015 and we are very excited to be bringing you some badass releases in 2016!! You guys RULE!
