Skull Mountain: A Four Label Sampler Featuring the Best of the American and European Heavy Underground
"the bold souls at Ripple Music, Kozmik Artifactz, Twin
Earth Records and DHU Records have come together across continents to make it
happen, and a 500-copies-pressed 2LP four-way label sampler split featuring all
previously unreleased tracks and versions is the result. I shouldn’t have to
tell you this is something special, something that doesn’t happen every day, and
something that might not happen again." - The Obelisk
Over a year in the making!
Perhaps the world's first Four-Label collaborative effort to bring
together some of the best heavy psych, stoner, doom from both sides of the Atlantic.
Two US-based labels, Ripple Music and Twin Earth Records,
join forces with two European-based Lables, DHU Records and Kozmik Artifactz to
bring forth a double album of epic proportions, something so massive it could
only have it's own monolith, Skull
Mountain.
Each Label showcases one full album side of it's signature
sound, each song previously unreleased or unreleased mix. The entire album mastered to perfection by
Tony Reed at HeavyHead.
Inside the gatefold, Tarot cards display the four element
theme of Skull Mountain with each Label represented by it's own signature
element, Ripple-Water; Twin Earth-Earth, DHU- Fire, and Kozmik- Air. Accordingly, each label has a limited amount
of vinyl available in it's own signature elemental color, Ripple-Blue, Twin
Earth - Green, DHU-Red, and Kozmik- Clear
That's right! Only
500 of these stunning 2xLP albums were pressed, with each label only having 125
in it's signature color. Once they're
gone, they're gone. Preorders start
Tuesday May 29 at 9pm CET, 12 noon PST.
