BARONESS "Red Album" 2xLP update.
We hit yet another snag, but things are fixed and moving right along. The band will, without fail, have copies of the vinyl with them on the Canada tour with Coheed and Cambria. Preorders will start shipping within the next two weeks. At some point before the ship date, more copies will be made available for mailorder. Thank you everyone for your patience. We apologize again for the delays.

Update on PRE-ORDERS.
Black Tusk and Skeletonwtich LPs have been shipping for a few weeks now. Baroness "Red Album" 2xLP will be shipping separately, so don't freak out if you only get the first two now. Baroness will ship in a separate package fairly soon and will be sent directly from CA to cut a week out of transit time. As soon as I'm given the ship date, I will post it here. Thank you everyone for your orders and patience.

BLACKTUSK vinyl!
BLACKTUSK "Passage Through Purgatory" LPs are on the way and will be here early next week. Orders will start shipping out on or before February 29, so keep you eyes on your mailboxes. If you've not preordered the vinyl, you can pick it up from them on the road - they'll be on tour with North Carolina's WEEDEATER beginning March 3. Tour dates are posted on the tours page.

BARONESS "Red Album" 2xLPs are in the final stages of production. As reported before, the printing is finished and its beautiful. We're just waiting on the vinyl now that we've resolved all the issues with it and expect the LPs to be done soon. We're currently working on getting the EPs back in print as well, so if you missed out on one or both of those in the past, you'll be able to pick them up soon. BARONESS will be hitting the road again soon, this time meeting up with Converge and Genghis Tron for some shows. Tour dates are posted on the tours page.

More new releases to be announced soon.

Update on new releases.
SKELETONWITCH "Beyond the Permafrost" LPs are done! They should be here any day and will start shipping out next week. The band has copies on the road with them right now, so if you're going to catch a show and you've not ordered, you can get one there.
BLACKTUSK "Passage Through Purgatory" has hit yet another snag. We stopped production on this one at the last minute to add a poster insert and once things got back on track we ran into trouble with the color vinyl. This shouldn't set us back more than a few days and we expect to have them in our hands in the next couple of weeks. Blacktusk will be hitting the road next month with North Carolina's WEEDEATER. Check out the tour page for dates.
BARONESS "Red Album" 2xLP is moving right along. Jackets and sleeves are done, but again we're having issues with vinyl. I expect to get news from the plant any time on this one as well and we will be on our way yet again. This is no doubt the most anticipated, most labor intensive and most expensive project we've tackled to date. Please be patient as things are going as quickly as possible. Good records take time and this one is very, very good.

The GET RAD/CALL ME LIGHTNING split 7" is finally out! Head over to Scenester Credentials to pick up a copy or two. Limited to 600 copies - 300 clear / 300 blue.

BLACKTUSK have recorded a song for a split 7" with THE HOLY MOUNTAIN. Look for this to be released on No Idea. Also be sure to check out their feature in the February issue of RockSound magazine! BLACKTUSK t shirts, hats and coozies are now available from Shirtkiller!

Skeletonwitch "Beyond the Permafrost" LP close to shipping!
Skeletonwitch "Beyond the Permafrost" LPs will be in our hands in less than two weeks! Color vinyl will be shipped out to the first 200 preorders and will also be available from the band on tour with Job for a Cowboy and The Red Chord later this month as well as from the Prosethetic Records webstore.

An update on preorders.
Thanks a ton to everyone who has preordered the new vinyl releases! I'm getting a lot of emails asking for ship dates on these, so here's the lowdown... These were in production when the printing/pressing facilities closed down for the holidays, delaying them by a couple of weeks. I expect the Blacktusk and Skeletonwitch LPs to be ready in mid-January. Baroness 2xLPs are taking a bit longer due to how many times all of the parts must change hands, but should be completed soon after. Keep an eye on this site for updates. Orders for single LPs will be shipped as soon as they arrive. Orders for more than one LP will likely be shipped together depending on how close the estimated ship dates are to one another. Again, I will post updates as more information is available. Thanks again!

New releases. New mailorder.
Preorders for the BARONESS, BLACKTUSK and SKELETONWITCH LPs will go up in a matter of days. With a little luck, maybe even tonight. All preorders will be shipped from Savannah as soon as they arrive from the plant. All of these are in the works now and I expect the orders to ship in the first half of December. All Hyperrealist mailorder is now filled by Robotic Empire. You can buy from their webstore by visiting them directly - http://www.roboticempire.com - or by using the links on our releases page. Robotic is a well oiled machine and I'm extremely happy to be working with them. Everyone should get their orders much quicker than ever before. Thanks, Andy! In early '08 we will have the BARONESS EPs back in print, a repress of CIRCLE TAKES THE SQUARE "As The Roots Undo" LP and some more new releases. We are currently hammering out the details on a bunch of new records and updates will be posted as these projects become definite.

Overdue update! Lots of new records.
There's not been a single update this whole year, so we're definitely long overdue. Things got a bit quiet here late last year with Baroness in Europe and the following holidays, but the Spring saw a lot of new recording and now summer is here and with it new tours and releases. The DAMAD retrospective CD is still in the works. That's been a slow project due to all of the art and liner notes involved and the seemingly endless task of acquiring and assembling it all. After taking this long to get it ready, I'm considering adding a little something to the package. Stay tuned for details on that. BLACK TUSK returned to the studio with Phillip Cope and have completed their full length LP/CD for Hyperrealist to be released in late summer. The first pressing of the CD format will also include a DVD with videos, a live set and photo gallery. I'm sure everyone has heard the news by now that BARONESS has signed to Relapse, who will be releasing their debut full length. Hyperrealist will be releasing a very limited vinyl version of this record about the same time the CD from Relapse drops in early September. These will be available mostly through the website and preorders, but the band will have some on the road with them as well. After these have sold, Relapse will take over vinyl pressing of the LP, but the packaging will be different so as not to confuse anyone. Watch the website for more details on how and when to order. My advice is to move quickly on it. We're going to make it really special. While on the subject of Baroness, the EPs will be out of print for a short while after the current pressings sell out. If you're still missing one of those, I would move on that pretty fast as well. More news on those at a later date. There are a couple of other new releases in the works for late summer and early fall - more on that in a few days. GET RAD have just released a new 7" on Level Plane and have two split 7"s on the way - one with Protestant and another with Call Me Lightning. Great stuff! Be sure and pick it up.

Tours! Black Tusk will be hitting the road twice this summer. First in July with Ohio's SKELETONWITCH, then again in September. BARONESS will be doing more U.S. dates in September followed by a second European tour in October. Dates for these tours will be posted as soon as I have them. GET RAD will be on the road for an east coast tour in a matter of days. Dates are posted now here and on the bands website (www.thunderinyourheart) and on their myspace page as well. More news soon...

New site!
As you can see, the new website is finally up. Keep an eye out for updates and new content. BARONESS "Second" 12" preorders are currently shipping. Anyone who ordered should be receiving their copy shortly. Please be patient as the holidays have got the mail a little backed up. Thanks!
