Deadverse Massive “TakeOver”
We always want to let you know about great, new music. Especially when it is created by part of our Ipecac family. You gotta checkout the Deadverse Massive TakeOver digital release now. This is the project created by Will Brooks of dälek fame.
As much an architect of the dälek sound as the voice of it, Brooks produced the 18 tracks on TakeOver with an ear toward classic ‘90s East Coast hip-hop and a refusal to make something that anyone could ever call “retro” or “throwback.”
It's available on iTunes, Amazon, and direct from Bandcamp.

To Our Fans in New Zealand
Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the recent earthquake in New Zealand. We are relieved to report that the Melvins are a little freaked out, but unscathed. The band was at the airport in Christchurch about to board a flight to Wellington when the earthquake, centered in Christchurch, struck. The airport was evacuated. The Melvins are doing everything they can to reschedule the shows that were affected, but more importantly the band's thoughts are with the people of Christchurch.
Mini Mansions on Last Call
Mini Mansions will be on Last Call with Carson Daly TONIGHT!! Be sure to catch them!

Don't Miss Moonchild's "Ipsissimus" on Tzadik!
So, it's not one of our releases, but here is a new release that you NEED to know about! Patton fans get it now from our friends at Tzadik.
JOHN ZORN-MOONCHILD
"IPSISSIMUS"
- Seven Sigils
- The Book of Los
- Apparitions I
- Supplicant
- Tabula Smaragdina
- Apparitions II
- The Changeling
- Warlock
- Apparitions III
Weaving sonic dramas around the legacies of Magick and Alchemy, Moonchild is one of Zorn’s most intense and powerful projects. Active since 2006, Moonchild has released four CDs speaking directly to young, open minded and curious music lovers around the world, and their newest recording is the most varied and driving to date. Nine new duos, trios and quartets swirling with melodic and rhythmic invention featuring the searing guitar of Marc Ribot, the magical vocals of Mike Patton and Zorn’s manic sax with the astounding Dunn-Baron rhythm section. Ipsissimus is the fifth surprising installment in the remarkable Moonchild legacy.
Scion A/V Video: Melvins - “Electric Flower”
As part of the Scion A/V Music Video Series, director Mark Brooks created a stop motion masterpiece that effectively juxtaposes the Melvin’s guitar thrash with disturbingly cute, slightly referential dolls.
