The Biggest Ripple Music Newsletter Ever! Mount Atlas, Rare Breed, Skull Mountain, Planet of Doom and More!
This one is a long time in coming! We've had fun doing a bunch of joint projects
with H42 Records, who are always kind enough to include us in Limited Edition
Ripple North American exclusives of some of their key releases.
Starting Monday, we will have a very few 100 copies of the
North American exclusive Ripple Green vinyl exclusive variant of the Debut
album by Mount Atlas.
These will go on Pre-order Monday morning. Only 100 -- no repressing.

In the spirit of R-rated animated films like Heavy Metal and
the works of Ralph Bakshi,Riff Lodge Animation (the studio behind the
mind-blowing music video for CONAN's ‘Throne of Fire’) are creating an epic
feature-length fantasy/science-fiction film called The Planet of Doom, created
entirely by artists and bands within the doom/stoner/psych/metal genres.
With the film still in post-production, we are thrilled to
be releasing The Planet of Doom; First Contact EP on 22nd June, featuring
original score music from Mos Generator, Vokonis, Messa and Slomatics. The Red
edition of this sold out in just over an hour, only a few Blue (pictured)
remain, and black. No repressings.
Tracklist:
1. MOS GENERATOR – ‘Sword of the Sea’
2. MESSA – ‘Serpent Libido’
3. VOKONIS – ‘Runa’
4. SLOMATICS – ‘Jagaer’

Looking for Today is the debut full-length by Los Angeles
trio The Rare Breed, and as thick as the band lays it on in touting their love
of Sabbathian ways — and why not; “Mountain of Dreams” takes them to
near-Sheavy levels of Sab worship and they named their album after a Black
Sabbath song — it’s hard to listen to songs like “The Stranger” and “Rusted
Diamond” and not think of more modern, Uncle Acid-style garage doom swing.
“Visions” has more of a later-Ozzy-era vibe, and “Echoes” positively gallops in
the drums, but in its shuffle, closer “Witches Lore” has some of that
now-tinged rhythm as well (and some gallop of its own to boot), so there’s more
going on than just “we heard ‘Sweet Leaf’ and decided to start a band,” however
much guitarist Oscar de la Torre‘s vocals might be derived from the work of a
certain Mr. Osbourne.
Wherever it was coming from, The Rare Breed released Looking
for Today back in the BeforeTime, in the long-long-ago — 2016 — and this month
the record will get its post-apocalyptic reissue via Ripple Music

along with black vinyl and CD's.
