The Monolith/Voyager split we’ve been talking about for weeks — the very first release by new label Science of Silence Records — comes out on June 8th, less than a week from now. But we’re offering you the opportunity to stream the entire thing, which includes two monolithic songs by Monolith and four epic voyages by Voyager, today. And you best not be disappointed.

The split is a limited edition run of just 500 copies on clear vinyl, available exclusively at The Omega Order. Each purchase of the vinyl will receive a FREE digital download of 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.

We hope you enjoy it… because we do.

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.
