Lick My Label, New Shit

MONOLITH AND VOYAGER GET THEIR VINYL ON WITH SCIENCE OF SILENCE SPLIT LP

I always like to see new metal labels on the scene; new labels means more metal, and more metal is a good thing. The latest entrants to the metal label game are the cats at Science of Silence Records, an NYC-based collective that will specialize in post-rock, instrumental and avant-garde metal releases and has elected to go the vinyl-only route.

In a dazzling display of Northeastern U.S. city harmony that will leave baseball fans scratching their heads, the NYC label’s first foray into the metal scene will be a split between Boston’s Voyager and Philly’s Monolith. The 6-song (45 minute) split will come out on June 8th and will be a limited edition run of 500 copies on clear vinyl, available exclusively at The Omega Order (includes FREE shipping).  Each purchase of the vinyl will receive a FREE digital download for the album as well. The release will also be available on June 8th via iTunes, eMusic, Amazon MP3, and all your other favorite download stores. All digital downloads features a bonus track not on the vinyl.

Monolith have a new song from the split posted on their MySpace page that I really dig, as do Voyager. Check that shizz out and stay tuned for an exclusive stream here at MetalSucks.

    For a label to go solely vinyl in this day and age is a brave venture, without doubt. I hope they find it to be successful for them.

    I guess for the type of music they’re releasing, vinyl fits the bill rather nicely. Will be interesting to see how this pans out…

    Sounds like they are selling digital as well…. just not on CD. I think this will become the business model for the next few years for a lot of underground music. CD’s are going to go the way of the cassette tape. Vinyl is collectable, and underground music has the kind of passionate fans that are interested in collecting and the artwork. Mainstream music is going to be completely digital in the near future. Nobody wants Ke$ha on vinyl…. probably just IN vinyl.
