GOG s/t and SUFFERING LUNA with THE ASTRONAUT KING / SUFFER THE STORM split

2013 was a busy year for KOTM.  We released records for UZALA, SUTEKH HEXEN, AGARTTHA, and SEVILE SECT to name a few.  So it is understandable that we have been a bit slow to get 2014 rolling but the train is finally on the tracks we are moving forward full steam.  Along with the SON OF MAN seven inch we just released a few weeks ago, we are pleased to announce two new releases out soon - GOG s/t LP and SUFFERING LUNA with THE ASTRONAUT KING / SUFFER THE STORM split LP!!!  Both will begin shipping June 30th. 



GOG - s/t LP
Previous efforts have been described as "abstract avant blackness" and "blown out black-bliss", but what GOG conveys here is far more tense and aggressive than anything we have heard prior.  On "s/t", GOG (Mike Bjella of Unruh and Wellington) explores the transformation and evolution of oneself, conveying the twisting and painfully primal cycles of it.  
Features guest vocals by Francesca Marongiu (Agarttha), and drums by Josh Bodnar.
Limited to 300 copies (150 on red with black swirl vinyl  / 
150 on black vinyl) 

Comes with a digital download card. 


SUFFERING LUNA with THE ASTRONAUT KING / SUFFER THE STORM split LP 
Previous Suffering Luna and The Astronaut King team up for a cross country collaboration to bring you the feral offering "Most High" which walks the line between mammoth-sized doom and psychotic noise, creating an almost trance-like listening experience.  Fans Of early Cavity, Grief, and 16 will be sure to devour this potent piece of noise inspired psych-doom.  

Suffer The Storm’s twenty-two minute droning funeral hymn, “Squalor,” takes the listener on an unforgiving trip to the deepest depths of human filth, despair and misanthropy. Guttural death metal-esque vocals pave the way for this absolutely devastating slab of doom. Samples and various atmospherics help to enhance the mood of grim foreboding, and bring the listener closer to the edge of the abyss. Fans of Winter and Moss will not be disappointed.
