Long story short, if you purchase 4 shirts, one of them will be free. 4 for the price of 3? I dunno, but get these old shirts outta here so we can make more! FALL FASHION and all that junk.

More new THOU vinyl & merch, plus a bigass/badass distro update!

(photo by Rich Gaccione)
TWO back-to-back THOU updates?! Not that crazy when you consider how freakishly prolific this monster outfit is, and we're pretty hyped to have our hands in yet another release they've done. A bit less directly this time, but along with longtime brethren Gilead Media, the Robotic Empire - Online Store is the very first place to stock THOU's band-released *upgraded* vinyl repress of their latest album, Summit.


Thankfully this one is NOT a pre-order, as this bad mamma jamma is all done and ready to roll! Their latest doom/sludge masterpiece, Summit, was initially released on wax by Southern Lord, but now self-released by the band with some mild but important upgrades: all new plates, heavyweight tip-on style jacket with clear spot-gloss, heavier printed innersleeve (with corrected text and lyrics), NO mucking around with stickers, smokey clear 180 GRAM vinyl... overall we're just talking a really classy package here.

That's not to dump on the venerable Southern Lord's pressing, which was solid. Its just that THOU has since ironed out a few OCD kinks on what they want to see within a fully realized package, taking knowledge gained from our recent The Archer & The Owle "megaEP" release and re-applying some sonic and aesthetic enhancements to their latest full-length offering.

That being said, this thing is freaking beautiful. An already massive album that is now probably a bit more in line with the true vision THOU has for this album. We're honored to aide these fine southern gentlemen in any way yet again, and of course along with our awesome(ly organized) brother-in-arms at Gilead Media!


To commemorate the occasion (and others), we have beefed up our THOU shirt arsenal with a new ripoff of a classic PG.99 image... actually the first t-shirt we ever printed so many years ago! We're still using the same great printshop who've always done us right and are happy to present this thing to you today. Alabama's Mammoth Printshop printed our very first shirt for us a solid dozen or so years ago: a black owl and mustard yellow text on an athletic grey t-shirt. Here we are again with an homage to those days (comparison image here), with friends of all conspirators THOU delivering this classic ripoff tee.

In addition to that banger, we're hoping to have another new design and one re-print in house before too long, but those didn't quite make it in time for this update. No matter, there is a (potentially literal) TON of other new items and restocks for this update, including a slew of other very righteous vinyl and shirts.

Noteworthy new jams include the debut FALSE LP (sooooo highly recommended), BARGHEST's debut (ex/current THOU), DARK CASTLE's latest on color, GHOSTLIMB efficiency, the long overdue and most triumphant HARKONEN LP (finally!), MOLOCH, SUTEKH HEXEN, more(!) freakin THOU import LPs, TOMBS wax, mo' Mylene Sheath glory, another rad COUGH shirt (exclusive to our mailorder) and lots more...

Restocks include the other gnarly COUGH t-shirt designs and ALL their vinyl releases, BARN OWL, a BARONESS re-press, CAPSULE's latest album on coloured vinylz, DROPDEAD x3, GEISHA, JUNIUS 2xLPs, MASTODON and more. Here're the full lists:

New releases from PG.99 and THOU + shirt and vinyl sales, new items and more!!

Sometimes it can be difficult to write about dudes you've spent important formative years with, witnessing them grow from teenage punx into skilled musicians and incredible songwriters. Our longtime brothers from Sterling, Virginia are just that though... so with a nostalgic heart we present the latest Robotic Empire update.


PG.99 is the first band we ever did a release with, back in the very beginning Robodog days at the end of the last century. Its pretty crazy that over 12 years later, here we are again still talking about the same band... but they seemed incredible to us back then and still remain so today. From their first demo material to the final recordings five years later, it was amazing to watch this band evolve into the formidable force they became. Its appropriate then that Robotic Empire presents the long-overdue vinyl issuing of PAGENINETYNINE's Singles collection album.


Eighteen tracks spanning their existence have been pressed into one stellar LP. Originally released on CD by (the now-defunct?) Reptilian Records, this collection compiles PG.99's widespread non-album material. It includes the stuff from their splits with CIRCLE TAKES THE SQUARE, CITY OF CATERPILLAR, ENEMY SOIL, PROCESS IS DEAD and REACTOR NO. 7 along with other short-run compilation, EP and demo tracks.

Most PAGENINETYNINE fans have a favorite album, but in some ways Singles may be a better overall representation of the band. Each of their three full-lengths (and split longplayer with MAJORITY RULE) are excellent individual documents in their progression, but Singles manages to show it all: their humble beginnings to furious midpoint and experimental end. From the original demo tape to final split EP release, the wild ride of PG.99's various creations are clearly displayed on Singles, showing a band that evolved more in their prolific five years than one could really deem reasonable.

Finely mastered by James Plotkin for a much warmer and fuller sound not heard on the original releases, this 12" has been packaged in a printed innersleeve (with an excellent eulogy by JR Hayes of PIG DESTROYER) and a silk-screened fold-over cover (printed by Broken Press, ala document #8 - click here for a bigger version of the above photospread). 1000 copies have been pressed: 200 on green, 200 on blue and 600 on black vinyl.



** THIS IS TECHNICALLY A PRE-ORDER as it officially has an August 2nd "street date", although we've been given the go-ahead to start shipping out pre-orders within a week or two from now. However, everything for this release is now finished and in house already.. so you can order this NOW in the Robotic Empire - Online Store and we will ship out all orders as promptly as possible! **


Closely related is the latest pressing of PG.99's landmark document #8 album. Considered by many to be their definitive album, its easily the one with the most vision. Originally recorded throughout one hectic weekend in the winter of 2001, document #8 was re-mixed a few years later by band members and engineer Kurt Ballou. Since this recording those guys have forged a relationship that continues throughout each PYGMY LUSH recording (also accomplished at Kurt's Godcity studios) and the results speak for themselves. Blistering songs dripping with spirit and passion, document #8 is arguably PG.99's magnum opus. Also housed in a silkscreen jacket, this one comes with a large 16-page booklet of lyrics/artwork/photos/etc (click here for a bigger version of the above photospread). 1000 more copies of this LP have been pressed: 200 on red, 200 on white and 600 on black vinyl.

Both of these releases are timed to correspond with PAGENINETYNINE's reunion at this year's Best Friends Day festival in Richmond, Virginia. Friday, August 19th will see them play alongside CONVERGE, STRIKE ANYWHERE, CAPSULE and more at the Canal Club in RVA. Their plan is to perform the document #8 album in full, along with other material spanning their history. Its definitely not something to miss, as PG.99 hasn't played live in over eight years. More information on the (massively fun) Best Friends Day event can be found here: http://www.bestfriendsdayrva.com

In a new addition to the Best Friends Day performance, PAGENINETYNINE will also play a bit closer to home at the Black Cat in Washington, DC the following weekend on Saturday, August 27th. Appropriately, THOU will be opening up that show... PG.99 + THOU for $10 = pretty hard to beat! More info on that over at the Black Cat website.

Both of those LPs, along with some celebratory-discounted PG.99 t-shirts (and the many members' other bands' records) can be found in the Robotic Empire - Online Store.




Related in core fundamentals is a lengthy new release from Louisiana's THOU. Longtime friends of the aforementioned Virginians, THOU is cut from a very similar cloth wherein a DIY mentality is the backbone to extreme(ly) heavy music. The sonic results may vary from PG.99, but THOU's rock-solid work ethic, relentless touring and absurdly prolific release schedule now rivals (and possibly exceeds) their Sterling, VA contemporaries. Its also been a great pleasure to work with these maniacs in the past, thus we're honored to present their new 12" to you today.


Recorded throughout the turn of the decade, THOU deliver another potent 40 minutes of triumphant doom-laden sludge fury on The Archer & The Owle. Atypical heavyness to say the least, the ultra-crushing sound THOU has become known for is subtly enhanced by unique elements ala piano, atmospheric noise, horns, double bass and several re-envisioned cover songs for keen ears to decipher. Along with otherwise unreleased Summit-era material, this lengthy "megaEP" also (appropriately) contains THOU's original half of the now postponed co-release with PYGMY LUSH, oddly inspiring the band to then cover two tracks by their collaborators' latest work.

Its all spice added to the overall stunning effect of a truly visionary band; intelligent commentary atop six massive tracks of absolutely bludgeoning music. Presented on color vinyl housed in a beautiful spot-glossed "tip-on" classic style heavyweight gatefold LP jacket, this is yet another brick in THOU's ever-strengthening wall of spite and menace. All mailorder copies of The Archer & The Owle vinyl include a canvas patch exclusive to the label and band copies. 2000 copies of this "megaEP" have been pressed: 500 on opaque gray (mailorder/band only) and 1500 on translucent clear. This and much of THOU's vast back-catalog (plus a few t-shirt designs) can be found now in the Robotic Empire - Online Store.



** As above with PG.99's Singles 12", THIS IS TECHNICALLY A PRE-ORDER as it officially has an August 2nd "street date", although we've been given the go-ahead to start shipping out pre-orders within a week or two from now. However, everything for this release is en route to us... so you can order this NOW in the Robotic Empire - Online Store and we will ship out all orders as promptly as possible! **


In addition to the vinyl version of this behemoth, we've teamed up with our brothers at Sweat Lodge Guru (who are also responsible for the awesome OMGvinyl) to unleash the cassette version of this "megaEP".

300 copies of the pro-tape version have been made, which comes in an unreal two-color letterpress double-sided, mulit-panel j-card (click here for a bigger version of the above photospread). Pretty darn impressive for 6 bucks, this is available NOW in the Robotic Empire - Online Store as well as from Sweat Lodge Guru.

In addition to these new releases (and re-press) we've got a fairly significant RoboSale going on at the moment. Hot on the heels of our insane "fire sale" discounts throughout May and June, we're now offering a slew of Robotic Empire released vinyl and t-shirts at some stupid discounts... only until the end of July though. The vinyl is a widespread slew of Robo (and related) releases, and the shirts are mostly discounted in related celebration of PG.99's burst of activity! Here's the list:

All of the above discounted stuff can be found now in the Robotic Empire - Online Store. This is all in an effort to clear some space, as along with the new releases above we also recently re-pressed some essential TORCHE albums (highlighted in the last update). What this all amounts to is a real premium for space at the lil' ol' RoboHQ so thus, the sales continue. However, this is likely to be our last large-scale discounting for a while, but nonetheless there's some good deals to be had. Along with the above items, over 275+ others have various sales attached to them as well.

Beyond all the new Robo label activity, we've actually gotten in very few new stuff/restocks lately (for a change), only a couple items really... so we're posting those along with the last update's stuff.

"a cool offering of subterranean garage skuzz" (aka: lost/found BAD SECRETS review)

Well, our ballsoutcrazy June sale has come to an end, but we still have nearly 250 random items on sale at the moment, including this oft-overlooked weirdo record we dropped about two years ago... the sole release (thus far) from BAD SECRETS:


We're going out of our way to post about this oddball release (a 9"+CD) as we just found an old review of this wild slab. Longtime brethren Crucial Blast are almost like an east coast Aquarius, whereas they take (lots of) time to type up detailed description of each item they sell. Impressive to say the least, and here's what they had to say about the aforementioned BAD SECRETS jammer:

"Weird, cavernous, bloozy garage skum from this duo out of Louisville, kind of a surprise offering from Robotic Empire. It's been descibed as "shoegazey" by some, probably because of the copious amounts of reverb that soak into every nook and cranny of these seven songs, but Bad Secrets sound to my ears more like the kind of drug-n'-booze addled noise rock outfits that were slithering out of downtown New York City back in the mid to late 80's, the sort of thing that might have appeared on Rough Trade or Homestead. The guys behind this are drummer Dan Davis (also of Kodan Armada) and guitarist Evan Patterson, the latter known for his involvement in some fine contempo pigfuck/noise rock outfits like Breather Resist, Young Widows and Black Cross. In this configuration, though, Patterson goes for a more drugged and dissonant sort of clamor, the two musicians shambling through these creepy swamp-stained dirges, a vague industrial quality sticking to everything as the twangy, skronking guitar wigs out over a pounding, percussive oil-drum throb, the songs partially formed, and apparently partially improvised as well. The recording is suitably dank and dingy, the aforementioned reverb-heavy sound has it's murkiness amplified by the low fi four-track production. Haunted, stoned gothic noise rock riddled with slurred, drawling vocals and ghostly wails, subterranean metallic scrape and trippy stereo panning, clanking riffs and chaotic drum freak outs, and weird production fuckery that ranges from sped-up tape noise and sudden drop-outs to grainy needle pops and room noise. Imagine Pussy Galore on Quaaludes, or Nick Cave stalking some ancient crypt, and you're in the general vicinity. The guitars utilize some neat shimmery Morricone-esque twang on some of the tracks, too, and the band occasionally even goes off into something resembling a nocturnal version of surf rock at times. Things get pretty "out" and psychedelic throughout this little record, but the duo are still able to produce some seriously catchy noise rock jams like "Gimmee Sound" and "Go And Leave". It's a cool offering of subterranean garage skuzz, presented on an unusual 9" size vinyl record in a silk-screened sleeve, and includes a cd version of the record." © CRUCIAL BLAST

There ya go. We've got that joint discounted to $9.99 at the moment, and with both formats together (CD and vinyl) you get double trouble on this one.

Big update! New items from TORCHE, BLACK TUSK and even more extreme sales!!

TORCHE is one of the few bands that we've been alongside for the entire ride, from inception up to present activity. We love this band, they are seriously awesome dudes who write seriously catchy, heavy music. It always feels good to post updates in regards to TORCHE and today we're happy to announce their two full-length albums have been newly re-pressed on vinyl.

Meanderthal is the album that took TORCHE from the underground to the semi-aboveground. It was on many best-of lists in 2008 (including the #1 spot in the fantastic Decibel Magazine). As it turned out, this ended up being their final album with 2nd guitarist Juan Montoya* and the end of the first era of the band. We ultimately outdid ourselves (and many others) with the first layout/packaging for this thing, with two die-cut tri-folding LP jackets attached together.... and while we would've loved to keep it in print that way, it just wasn't financially feasible. So in an effort to keep one of our favorite albums in print, a new and somewhat simplified version of Meanderthal has been newly re-pressed.


Now packaged in a standalone gatefold jacket, Montoya and Aaron Turner's original artwork has been mostly kept intact, and overall it still looks pretty damn killer (photo proof). We're glad there was a way to keep this album in print, as it truly is stellar! 2000 more of this have been pressed, with standard black vinyl available along with three "color in color" versions of oranges, silvers and yellows, as well as a red/white/blue tri-blend) . The ones photographed above compliment the layout quite well, and we're happy to announce that this is now available again in the Robotic Empire - Online Store.

+ We also have a small amount of the original/deluxe jacket version, as described above. Last copies available anywhere. +


In addition to Meanderthal finally being available on vinyl again, we're now up to the fifth(!) pressing of the Self-Titled Reissue debut LP. This time around we kept the color vinyl (relatively) simple for a change and went with a Jah-inspired rasta tri-blend! 1000 more copies for this pressing (500 black, 500 rasta jawns), also available now in the Robotic Empire - Online Store.

++ Both Meanderthal and the Self-Titled Reissue LPs are now nicely priced at $11.99 each, about 4 bucks cheaper than before for S/T and $8 cheaper for Meander. ++

All of this recent TORCHE activity is culminating just in time for a massive summer tour (dates below), hot on the heels of guitarist/vocalist Steve Brooks "other" band FLOOR just completing their first proper US tour in eight years! We recently re-pressed the FLOOR Below & Beyond discography 8xCD set for their tour and still have some copies in stock. Seeing as how the band may be (relatively) dormant for a while with TORCHE getting busy again, we've just discounted the 8xCD FLOOR set to $29.99 , which can be found now in the Robotic Empire - Online Store. We also have a slew of classic FLOOR t-shirts available and are now down to the last half dozen (or less) copies of the ultramega 10xLP, 1x7", 8xCD, 32-page-booklet deluxe vinyl edition... Seriously: last chance to dance on that beaut!

As we mentioned above, TORCHE is hitting the road for a substantial US tour, co-headlining alongside BIG BUSINESS (plus HELMS ALEE or THRONES, depending on what part of the country you're in). The "new guy" 2nd guitarist (and longtime Robo-ally) Andrew Elstner** is firmly in the band now and they are officially on fire once again! Wisely witness this commotion IRL:

TORCHE-related footnotes:
* Juan Montoya is now playing in MONSTRO, who recently signed to Vagrant (wtf?) and are going on tour with KYUSS and THE SWORD in September/October. Congrats Juan!
** Andrew Elstner was in the criminally underrated RIDDLE OF STEEL and is simultaneously now in the also criminally underrated TILTS. Check them out ASAP.

In addition to all the TORCHE related news, we have also expanded our already outlandish store-wide sales! For the rest of the month, 99% of the 7" EPs we carry are reduced further to only $1.99 apiece. That now matches our store-wide CD sale of just $1.99 per CD, CD-R, 3"miniCD, etc, etc etc. We got a little crazy there, but are only remaining this insane until the end of the month as we've actually cleared a good amount of much-needed space. Still lots of great items available at dirt cheap prices (including newly discounted CANNABIS CORPSE sweatpants), please check out the Robotic Empire - Online Store for all of our ridiculous discounts.


We've also got a meaty update as far as new items & restocks go! One big score this time around is the original BLACK TUSK demo EP, The Fallen Kingdom, finally pressed to wax by our homies at Hyperrealist. Eight songs, badass Baizley artworkin, raw sludgey goodness as only the dirty South knows how to properly do... and oh yeah, some logo-matched yellow vinyl copies too if you're quick! Chop chop.

In addition to that jammer, we've got new stock from ANNIHILATION TIME (the II LP reissue with limited bonus 7"), CAPSULE's righteous new No Ghost album on ltd color vinyl, CHURCH OF MISERY and EYEHATEGOD essentials from Emetic, the unstoppable FELL VOICES LP from Gilead brethren, horribly difficult to obtain Throne imports (FLESHPRESS, LUDICRA, UNEARTHLY TRANCE), lotsa skramz (DANSE MACABRE, DOLCIM, HER BREATH ON GLASS, etc) for all the screamos out there, KICKING SPIT's awesome debut 12", PYGMY LUSH's unbearably good Old Friends album on import wax (with slightly different artwork), and heaps more killer stuff.

For restocks, we've got ARKTIKA, CANNABIS CORPSE, COMADRE, ELECTRIC WIZARD, GIANTS, MEWITHOUTYOU, SALOME, THOU, TITAN and more! Here's the full list:

Not a bad update after a slight gap there, hopefully something caught your eye and you're keen to hit the Robotic Empire - Online Store.

Last but not least, a quick update on a few current projects: both THOU and PG.99 will see new vinyl on Robotic Empire in early August! We've got a "megaEP" for THOU at the plants now titled The Archer & The Owle, and while we may obviously be biased, it absolutely rules! The PG.99 release is the long-overdue vinyl treatment of their Singles collection, along with a repress of the Document #8 album, both to coincide with their (now sold out) pending reunion at Best Friends Day in Richmond this August. We're hoping to have those for sale sometime in July or August, depending on when things wrap up.

That's it for now, please hit up the Robotic Empire - Online Store if you can! Peace!

In celebration, we recently re-pressed the 8xCD version of their massive Below & Beyond discography... and this update we're pleased to announce that four(!) t-shirt designs are now available along with a kickass 8x button set.


One downside though is that due to our small HQ, we're a bit overwhelmed with sheer STUFF at the moment... so we've conjured up a "FLOORCOMBO" discount code to knock off $10 if you order the Below & Beyond discography plus a FLOOR t-shirt...AND we'll include a free 8x button set too if you bust the "FLOORCOMBO". Hella FLOOR jawns together for a nice price, just enter the "FLOORCOMBO" coupon code thing when you're checking out in our Online Store. This will run for the next 2 weeks.

That is easily the biggest news in our camp at the moment (following a large update about a month ago), but we've also taken the time to stock some killer new items and restocks to the Robotic Empire - Online Store as well.

The big restock news is finally scoring the long unavailable back catalog stuff from A Date With Elvis, aka the now-defunct Spanish label that issued the vinyl for PIG DESTROYER's Painter of Dead Girls 12", CRESTFALLEN's final 7" and TRANSISTOR TRANSISTOR's Erase All Names And Likeness 2x12". All very hard to get and/or WAY unavailable for ages now, we are likely the only place to stock any of this stuff as it was a major mission to get. Very hyped to have that stuff in stock again after many years, and once its gone... that's really it!

Along with that we've also got restocks from heavyweights such as BARONESS, DOOMRIDERS, MADE OUT OF BABIES, MAJORITY RULE, MASTODON, TWDY and more.

New stuff includes the debut BEE CONTROL 7" (already sold out from Adagio) plus the new CROWSKIN / BLACK FREIGHTER split and GODS & QUEENS "acoustic" tape all imported from our German brothers, plus lots of double LPs this time: new KYLESA 2xLP on color wax, LIGHT BEARER blisstality, ROSETTA's new one finally on vinyl, SALOME's newest(/final?) album, plus more quality NADJA tunes from their ever-expanding arsenal of a discography, a couple awesome Skin Balms (!!) from Zeep (seriously great for all you tattoo'd freex) and more.

New PYGMY LUSH releases & merch galore, FLOOR repress and LOTS of new items & restocks!!

Its crazy to think we're rounding the bend on TWELVE years of Robo-label activity, but our first release (the PG.99 / REACTOR NO. 7 split 7") dropped in April of 1999. It suffices to say, this label wouldn't even exist if it weren't for the Taylor brothers, their friends, and all the bands they've been a part of over the years. There's something in the water in Sterling, Virginia and we feel genuinely honored to have been a small element of these dudes' musical output over the (many) years.


Now that their current/most active band PYGMY LUSH is thankfully touring again, we decided to help stack out our old friends' merch table with a plethora of goods to peddle. As a result we now have the same items available in our Online Store, although we officially and fully encourage you to pick up stuff direct from the band on tour with DES ARK whenever possible.

The goods we've stocked them with this time include a re-press of their first album, Bitter River, on cassette along with two more tapes: the fantastic split with TURBOSLUT (originally released on LP by Exotic Fever) and a new two-song "cassingle" on Cold World / Guilt, two super mellow cuts that didn't quite fit on their new album Old Friends (released on Lovitt, who's also issuing a 2-song 7" of the cassingle songs). Soul-crushingly good tunes here.


Along with all that, they/we've got stickers, oversized buttons (1.5"), patches galore and a plethora of t-shirts both new and old. We're trying out bundle packs for the first time too, so you can either get the individual tapes separately, all together and we'll throw in a sizable pile of merch (buttons+patch+sticker), or you can just grab a merch bundle on its own. Three new t-shirts were printed too, the "Cold World" image expanded, plus white and black versions of the "Mount Hope" Ashburn House album design. We kinda went bonkers here, but it is a pretty lengthy tour too! If you're not gonna see them, or foolishly spend all your cash on booze or something, check out the Robotic Empire - Online Store to pick up some of this awesome stuff.


Another band we're EXTREMELY happy to announce is hitting the road is FLOOR!! Inspired by their reunion shows last year, the reignited trio is legitimately touring for the first time in like 9 years or so! Intense!!


In order to make sure they've got substantial music to sell (and since we're getting down to the last copies of the deluxe vinyl box set discography), we re-pressed the 8xCD standalone edition of their expansive Below & Beyond discography! Ideally you'll pick this up direct from the band on tour, but if not you can grab it now in the Robotic Empire - Online Store. This mamma jamma includes all 99(!) songs spread across 8 discs and includes the massive 32-page 12"x12" booklet with hella photos, lyrics, back-story....everything. We just re-upped on the awesome Sight & Seen FLOOR 2xDVD too! Czech it out in the Robotic Empire - Online Store if you can't catch them live.


In further "touring band news", MAGRUDERGRIND is playing shows in various parts of the world this year, and they just sent us a stack of their FREE Crusher 10" released by Scion(WTF). Yep, debate it any way ya want... regardless, we're giving away copies of this appropriately monikered EP to folks who order the new "Facemelter" t-shirt we printed up last month. Totally badass 4-color design with all kinda trippy junx going on, this is available now in the Robotic Empire - Online Store. FREE 10" included until we run out of em.... word!

We also have a pretty stacked distro update with over 30 new items and 50+ restocks. New stuff from AKIMBO (latest album finally imported on vinyl, with CD), AMATEUR PARTY (featuring Atom!), HEIRS new one along with other Denovali elaborateness, INTEGRITY and other A389 bludgeoners, PYGMY LUSH GALORE, SINE NOMINE back from the grave with a self released CD, Init stuff and more.

Restocks include the bulk of the remaining Shock Value catalog (ED GEIN, JOSHUA FIT FOR BATTLE, etc), BLACK TUSK and COUGH bangers from Relapse (vinyl for both blew out last time), CELESTE 2xLPs and other awesome imports, FLOOR essentials, DAITRO 10"s, KIDCRASH, MELT BANANA and other killer Init releases, mo' bruisers from A389, two favorite PG99 and PYGMYLUSH shirts re-printed, ROSETTA, PULLING TEETH, TOWERS, ULTRA DOLPHINS and a bunch more!

FOUR new releases (ISIS, RED SPAROWES, WINDMILLS BY THE OCEAN), MANY new t-shirts (MAGRUDERGRIND, COUGH, etc) and a MASSIVE distro update (200+ items!

Over the past seven years we've released a lot of records involving Bryant Clifford Meyer. To get specific: over a dozen (TWO dozen if counting box sets). First within ISIS, then RED SPAROWES and finally WINDMILLS BY THE OCEAN, we've been lucky to be a part of the bulk of BCM's massive catalog of awesome tunes. So many good songs flow from this dude and his kin that we're thrilled to announce today FOUR new releases and re-presses involving ol' comrade Cliff. And now in reverse-chronological order of original release, here are many circular objects that our old friend (amongst others) is newly spread across...


Several years in the making, WINDMILLS BY THE OCEAN thankfully return from obscurity to deliver an unexpected and stunning second album. Awash in waves of droney guitars, lush melodies and a vastly increased use of vocals (which were almost non-existent on the debut), WINDMILLS BY THE OCEAN have created a truly hypnotic sophomore album. Reaching far beyond the limits of "post-rock", these five varied tracks shift through the spectrum of being haunting, triumphant, captivating, oppressive and completely uplifting. Its a real "listening experience" that is rare to find at this caliber, expertly crafted by an array of musicians seasoned by years spent in ISIS, RED SPAROWES, 27, BLACKTAIL and more.

MORE INFO:
* We pressed 1000 of this: 600 on black, 200 of "pagan sun" (maroon/black mishmash) and 200 of "windmill" (grey/silver quad jawns) - check out a bigger image of the spread
* Preview the track "Pagan Sun" on WINDMILLS BY THE OCEAN's Facebook and/or SoundCloud pages
* This is a seriously awesome surprise 2nd album, and a 3rd one is actually in the works...!
* Available now in the Robotic Empire - Online Store


Los Angeles' RED SPAROWES bypass the fabled sophomore slump by leaps and bounds on their second album, Every Red Heart Shines Toward the Red Sun, and after being sold out for a few years, this impressive 2xLP is finally available again! There is a definitively darker approach on this album, and the reference points of the past are less apparent, yet the band evokes intense emotions with more variety and depth than ever before. Powerful and dynamic, Every Red Heart displays RED SPAROWES within a captivating new path in the ever-evolving world of instrumental music. Comes in a beautiful gatefold jacket and is pressed on complimentary color vinyl.

MORE INFO:
* We pressed 1000 more for this 3rd pressing: 500 on "red heart" (super vivid semi-translucent red) and 500 on "red sun" (red/orangey/yellow blend) - check out a bigger image of the spread
* Preview tracks from Every Red Heart Shines Toward the Red Sun at RED SPAROWES bandcamp page
* Available now in the Robotic Empire - Online Store


First released back in 2005, we're pretty hyped to have RED SPAROWES' first album At The Soundless Dawn back in print after being sold out for years now. An undeniably massive album with an unconventional approach to creating instrumental aural landscapes. Dropping generous hints to shoegaze's glorious past, RED SPAROWES debut subtly employs reverberating guitars to explore darker passages that flow more like orchestral movements than modern rock songs. A fantastic debut album, this 2xLP comes housed in a gatefold jacket and is finally available again!

MORE INFO:
* We pressed 1000 more for this 4th pressing: 500 on "swamp" and 500 on "forest" - check out a bigger image of the spread
* Preview tracks from At The Soundless Dawn at RED SPAROWES bandcamp page
* Available now in the Robotic Empire - Online Store


Last (and certainly not least) in this massive Bryant Clifford Meyer-related-update is the quick repress of ISIS' recent Oceanic 2xLP reissue we just dropped. The entire pressing blew out in roughly a month so we chose to go ahead and fill the remaining 200 "tip on" gatefold jackets with a brief run of clear vinyl. This is likely to be the last of these for a little while, so nab one while you can. For those few unfamiliar with this band and/or album, we wrote a helluva lot about it last month when this came out, so please check out the Robotic Empire news blog there for full details.

MORE INFO:
* We ordered 200 more to fill out the remaining gatefold jackets, but a little overrun happened so there is also some available on the cheap as just vinyl-only (no fancy gatefold jackets)
* Be sure to check out the "Oceanic Japan" t-shirt we resurrected in correlation to this too (image here)
* Vinyl and t-shirts available now in the Robotic Empire - Online Store

PHEW! Wow, thank you Cliff for all the music and for whatever comes next! Incredibly though, this isn't even all of the label activity as we've got more on deck as well...


This outrageous 4-color MAGRUDERGRIND shirt design took literally years to finish, but we're stoked to finally have this bad mamma jamma finished! The photos can't seem to do this one justice (it looks awesome in person) and the original image for this wasn't quite as intricate, so many hours were spent adding further detail to incorporate full usage of all 4 colors on this beastly t-shirt! MAGRUDERGRIND are one of the most brutal grind bands around, but also thankfully not afraid to stray from the path. This shirt is an accurate representation of that, with a classic skull image (including melting face partially still intact) joined by psychedelia, a beating heart, flowers and gnarly maggots. A perfect smattering of elements for one of our favorite heavy/fast bands going right now. Printed on super comfy brown Alstyle brand shirts (both sweatshop free & akin to American Apparel texturally), this one has been a long time coming and turned out awesome! Available now in the Robotic Empire - Online Store.


Affiliated in regional heathenism are the badass COUGH t-shirts we recently stocked direct from the band. Although this isn't exactly Robo-related, we did hustle them to print up these shirts... and since they actually made them themselves in maximum DIYness, we stocked up on THREE different designs. COUGH have been playing some awesome slow n' heavy evil music for years now, and we're psyched that our RVA bros are finally getting some solid attention elsewhere as well. The new shirts feature a Wizard, a Plague and Baphomet w/ PBR and Joints! Dig these killer shirts now in the Robotic Empire - Online Store.


OK last thing before the utterly ENORMOUS distro updates... the recent Ryan McLennan "sequel" Robotic Empire shirt got photographed along with all the other new shirts, and since it turned out awesome we wanted to mention it again as well. This is printed on one of the most comfortable (affordable) t-shirts around, the American Apparel grey tri-blend shirt, which we've printed on before with a very positive response. Actually wearing this new shirt while typing up this big update - feels good! It really is stupidly soft and comfortable, and the badass image of a freakin' moose tearing up a robot bear does us just right! A bigger photo of this rad 3-color shirt can be viewed here and this is available now in the Robotic Empire - Online Store.

Alright, are you ready for this? We've got over 200 (!!) new items and re-stocks this time and its almost impossible to mention all the awesome stuff we've conjured up for this update... but here's an attempt to touch on a few crucial things we've got for ya:
