Future Tense

Lazy days of summer are upon us but we here at KOTM are keeping busy and would like to announce three (!) upcoming releases that should be out July/August.

VENOWL 7"
"Nightmarish, noise-inflicted doom from IL", with previous cassette only releases on Ivory Antler, Triangulum Ignis and A Terre Records, KOTM is proud to release their vinyl debut! This two song 7" features the track "No Honour" on one side and a reimagining of it by Iron Forest on the flipside.

UZALA / MALA SUERTE split 7"
Idaho (and Oregon) vs. Texas. Each band offer up one new track that is sure to crush you. This should tide you over until the Uzala 10" is completed later this year. Doom and gloom.

SERVILE SECT "Svrrender" 12"
Vinyl release of the cassette released on Handmade Birds earlier this year. Some of Servile Sect's most accomplished and oppressive sounds to date.

Ordering details for each release will be made available once we have a more defiante release date.

GOG "In Our Architecture This Resounds" 2x12" OUT NOW

I am VERY please to announce that the latest offering from Arizona's GOG is out now and is simply epic in every manner. An aural masterpiece that expands and crushes as well as lulls and nurtures. Limited to 220 copies on white vinyl and comes with 33"x22" poster insert. Artwork by Sandro Setola.

"At its darkest, Gog is an imposing glorification of nothing. At its brightest, Gog is our saviour. A swirling vortex of white and black, virtue and nihil, that finds equilibrium in entrancing drone." - LURKERS PATH

OMG VINYL

SERVILE SECT "Realms Of The Queen" limited LP

Arriving before the holiday's hopefully will be the vinyl version of SERVILE SECT's "Realms Of The Queen" album (released on CD by Ecstatic Peace). It will be limited to 250 copies on glow in the dark clear splattered vinyl and housed in a jacket designed by the always impressive Viraloptic! Ordering info will be up shortly in the store. Words can not describe how excited we are to unleash this amazing piece of vinyl unto the world.

In other SERVILE SECT news, as a companion to their "Trvth" album Handmade Birds will be releasing the bands newest offering "Svrrender" on cassette only. Touted as their "most exciting material yet" this will be limited to 250 copies with art by Demian Johnston. And if that wasn't enough, they will also be releasing a split cassette of Saturn Sadness (Luke from Servile Sect) and Golden Raven (Nhate from Servile Sect). The split will be limited to only 100 copies. Again these can be ordered from Handmade Birds NOT King Of The Monsters. Personally I can't wait to hear both releases!

HORDES "Abarognosis"

After a few setbacks and delays it looks like the HORDES "Abarognosis" 7" will be out on December 12th. Preorders will ship out as soon as all the components arrive and there are still a few copies available on red marble in the KOTM store so move fast if you want one.

Southern California's HORDES are being raved about everywhere. Making it on Toxicbreed's Funhouse list of “Must Hear” Bands Of 2011 as well as incredible reviews on CVLT Nation and American Aftermath. Clearly proving that you need to own a copy of "Abarognosis".

If you live in the surrounding Los Angeles area be sure to catch them at the record release show on Saturday January 21st alongside Nails, Creatures, Skin Like Iron and The Funeral Pyre. They will of course have copies of the record plus new t-shirts and a other goodies.



We will be adding shirts in the webstore soon as well.

Stuff And Things - A Brief Update Of Upcoming Releases

NY CLENCHED FIST recording is complete and sounds awesome. Don Fury worked his magic (as always) and this is being sent off to the pressing plant very soon. More details as they become available.

HORDES recording is nearly complete and we are shooting to have the 7" out by late October / early November. Cvlt Nation did a great write up on them recently and you can check it out HERE.

ENEWETAK discography has been put together and mastered by Dave Shirk at Sonorous Mastering and everything sounds incredible. Waiting to finalize the artwork and then it gets sent off to the presses. Our original plans of an October / November release might have been underestimated as it is looking like it might be delayed a bit. Sorry about that but trust me, you wont be disappointed with the final product.

Finally, we would like to announce two new projects we are working on...

SERVILE SECT "Realms Of The Queen" LP
Originally released on Ecstatic Peace earlier this year, we are pleased to release this astonishing album on vinyl. This is at the pressing plant now and we hope to have it out by late October.

GOG "In Our Architecture This Resounds" double 12"
Double album (45rpm) with HUGE poster insert. Recording in November with Ryan Butler at Arcane Digital. More details to come.

Thank you and good night.

HORDES

I'm very excited to announce that HORDES from Southern California have agreed to put out a seven inch on KOTM! They are currently working on new material for it but in the meantime you can check out their demo HERE. More info on the release as it comes available.

The Slain God - ALTARS "Live On Pure Hate" LP OUT NOW

Received the final components to the ALTARS "Live On Pure Hate" LP this week and everything looks and sounds incredible. If you preordered a copy expect yours to be shipped out by the end of the week. Everyone who preordered will get the limited clear vinyl version which we still have a handful left in the webstore (act fast). Distros will be receiving their copies in the next couple weeks. Here is some live footage taken at the record release show for you to digest until you get your copy of the record. Get fucked up.
