Already recognised as one of the world's leading purveyors
of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Stoner, Doom and Heavy Psych, Ripple Music upped the ante in
2015 with the arrival of one of their most ambitious projects to date, The
Second Coming of Heavy Series.
Serving as an ongoing showcase for some of the best and
heaviest bands emerging from the underground, each installment shines a light
on those worthy of your attention. Consisting of one, 12” slab of
multi-coloured vinyl with full colour sleeves and inserts, the series is
designed to be saved and treasured, much like a fine anthology of books. When
the albums are filed next to each other, the complete collection of aligned
spines form a mind-blowing image direct from the underground.
Bands that have already featured in the series include
Geezer, Borracho, Supervoid, Red
Desert, Kingnomad,
Bonehawk, Red Mesa, Blue Sanggletooth, Fuzz Evil, Switchblade Jesus plus a
whole host of others. For this latest installment it’s the turn of Massachusetts’s leading
sonic explorers, Palace In Thunderland and Scandinavian stoners, The W Likes.
The Second Coming Of Heavy; Chapter X – the final chapter in
the project – will get an official vinyl release on 13th September 2019 and is
limited to 300 copies in three alternative versions (100 of each) – The
Resurrection Edition, The Risen OBI and The Ascension Edition.

THE W LIKES
More praise for Ripple Music’s The Second Coming Of Heavy
series:
“Ripple Music is fast becoming the label of choice for good
old fashioned heavy metal. They have released some great albums over the past
twelve months, their latest being this split release featuring Supervoid and
Red Desert [...] two great bands and another great release from Ripple.”
POWERPLAY MAGAZINE
"This is Ripple Music proving why they are the Premier
Record Label within the Doom/Stoner Metal community."
DOOM CHARTS
“I've long thought that The Second Coming Of Heavy series
was one of the coolest things happening among a flock of cool things that
Ripple Music has going on. The latest submission to this series is a split
between Supervoid and Red
Desert. Featuring the fuzzed
out tones that make so much of this classic rock and roll stuff so worthwhile,
these two bands prove that they both deserve a place in a scene crowded by
posers and chumps.”
TWO GUYS METAL REVIEWS
“Ripple Music believes we are in the midst of a heavy rock
renaissance. Two editions deep, they’ve already highlighted a range of styles
and a swath of acts from around different regions of the US brought
together by their varied takes on what it means to be heavy. There’s a lot of
ground to cover, and the project remains ambitious, but taking it one LP at a
time, there seems to be nothing keeping the label from continuing this
exploration and enlightening listeners as they go.”
