Limited edition of 500. "Blood and guts" red/black effect LP. Housed in gloss finished outer sleeve, with double sided insert, black polylined inner bag and download code. With this, their fourth album Black Helium find themselves widening the parameters of their take on heavy psychedelic rock, with probably their most baked and hook-laden material to date. From the no-safety-net freak out of "Return the Curse," to the sawtooth groove of "Up on a Hill," The Animals Are Coming LP is Black Helium at their most exploratory and focused. Recorded one sun-drenched week in late June 2024, this time at Axe and Trap Studios with Ben Turner (Hey Colossus, Part Chimp). The Animals Are Coming is the band sweating it out in a room, fueled by "party foods "and vintage amps. Digging deeper towards the source, no matter how transcendent, no matter how dark. Black Helium are a psychedelic power trio, based in London. Never afraid to stray from the beaten path, they traverse aural hallucinatory soundscapes; from detuned Neanderthal rock to deep oceans of introspective blissed out psychedelia.

Limited 300 only "purple galaxy" LP, with obi strip. Housed in a matt finished outer sleeve, with black polylined inner bag and download code. Psychedelic rock in the dark! Dope Purple's new album Children In The Darkness was recorded when the band hosted a live midnight recording session at Revolver, Taipei City, Taiwan on Friday 3rd March 2023. Amidst the tense silence of the middle of the night, the five members of Dope Purple, two guest musicians: saxophonist Yong Yandsen from Malaysia, British drummer Darren Moore from Singapore, and a familiar audience, came together to produce the album Children In The Darkness. The album is a ferocious space psychedelic rock, no starlight, no glamourous psychedelic paradise, just a meditative journey of infinite darkness and ear-splitting tinnitus.

Limited edition of 300 on crystal-clear vinyl with purple blob and black splatter. Housed in full-color matte sleeve with polylined inner bag and download code. Following his two sold out releases Vertigo and Water Music on Riot Season in 2024, the ever-prolific Ivan The Tolerable returns with An Orphan Form. A beautifully strange and immersive suite that feels both otherworldly and rooted in something organic. Drawing on kosmische drift, loose-limbed jazz, and warped psychedelic textures, the record moves like a half-remembered dream. Field recordings and nature sounds weave in and out, grounding the swirling synths and off-kilter rhythms in real earth and air. It's a record that doesn't follow a straight line, but instead wanders, curious, alive, and quietly spellbinding. Recorded in winter 2024 in Middlesbrough, UK and Utrecht, Netherlands. Oli Heffernan: bass/guitars/synths/drones/field recordings/electric piano. Mees Siderius: drums/percussion/vibraphone. Elsa Van Der Linden: saxophones/flutes. Sleeve design by Ack! Ack! Ack!

Die Young, Die Broke. A new mantra for the most depraved connoisseurs of psychedelic punk. For fans of Mainliner, Brainbombs, Les Rallizes Denudes, Stooges, Motörhead, MC5. A critique and embrace of self-destruction, esoteric vanity and inevitable ruin. The molten-red LP on Riot Season Records plunges deep into an abuse of distortion, existential doom and primal Stooges-like chaos. LA's acid punk power trio returns to its line up, now wielding a second addition in twin-drum assault. Jasso (guitar/vocals) is seemingly out for blood on this four-track studio album, leading a violent dive into the abyss. Japanese underground fury meets Hendrix's wreckage, fuzz-drenched wah freak-outs compete against raw punk vocals caught in an endless slap back delay. Over-Gain Optimal Death are an acid punk power trio formed in 2008 hailing from Los Angeles, and now currently hiding out somewhere in the South of France. Fronted by guitarist/ vocalist Jasso (Psychedelic Speed Freaks, Antarcticans), they push a special niche product of blown-out extreme psychedelic noise rock. Their sound is enveloped in a total nihilist "No Hope" atmosphere of heavy lyrics and distortion, mating intoxicating pulsing repetition, hyperactive improvisations and out of body guitar solos. Resurrecting US '60s punk and acid-riffage from the likes of Blue Cheer, the Stooges, MC5 and live Hendrix Experience, Over-Gain Optimal Death also draws greatly on the in-the-red sound aesthetic and high energy of the "Speed Freak Underground" and hardcore scene of '80s/'90s Japan. Limited to 300 on molten red vinyl. Housed in matt finished outer sleeve with double sided insert, download code and hype sticker.

Limited edition pressing of 500 copies worldwide. All pressed on olive green vinyl, housed in a full color sleeve with leather effect laminate, with hype sticker and black polylined inner bag. Continuing Riot Season's quest to get all of the classic early AMT albums released on vinyl, the label turns to 2006's Starless And Bible Black Sabbath, and with the help of Makoto Kawabata's studio wizardry, it is possible. This latest instalment in the Acid Mothers Temple Vinyl Archives - First Time On Vinyl series has been meticulously put together with the help of Makoto Kawabata with the original CD artwork recreated for these vinyl editions from archive photos stored in the vaults at the Acid Mothers Temple in Osaka, Japan and the original audio remastered by James Plotkin. Here's what Brainwashed.com had to say upon its original CD-only release back in 2006: "The title track is the meat of the beast, beginning with a minute of booms and gongs reminiscent of a thunderstorm before launching into some slow, heavy Sabbath-esque riffs. Squealing guitar and synth effects accompany the vocals of bassist Tabata Mitsuru, whose voice captures some of the sound and feeling of Ozzy's more than it does the melody. The pace is slower than most AMT fare, but things speed up considerably around the eight-and-a-half-minute mark."

Limited edition pressing of 500 copies worldwide. All pressed on cream colored vinyl, housed in a full color sleeve with leather effect laminate, with hype sticker and black polylined inner bag. Continuing Riot Season's quest to get all of the classic early AMT albums released on vinyl, the label now turns to 2004's Mantra Of Love with the help of Makoto Kawabata's studio wizardry. This latest instalment in the Acid Mothers Temple Vinyl Archives - First Time On Vinyl series has been meticulously put together with the help of Makoto Kawabata with the original CD artwork recreated for these vinyl editions from archive photos stored in the vaults at the Acid Mothers Temple in Osaka, Japan and the original audio remastered by James Plotkin. Here's what Pitchfork had to say upon its original CD only release back in 2004: "Acid Mothers are strong folk. You'd think they'd tire quickly, all tucked away on their island, strewn about on tree roots while baking their lungs and throats to a knotty green tinge. But instead of waltzing through life like hippies, they manage to not only tour and put out records every year, but also to fill those albums with 30-minute jams and assorted freakouts. And while evil jam bands would fill that space with guitar work taken from the Classic Rock Manual of Clichés, Makoto Kawabata and company assault listeners with frighteningly dense walls of white noise, psychedelic swirl effects and, yes, even guitar solos -- albeit ones that are more Merzbow or Keiji Haino than Gary Rossington. Truly, AMT's endurance and threshold for cosmic lashings are both worthy of admiration." Originally released on CD by Alien8 Recordings in 2004.

Limited 300 only transparent red vinyl LP housed in a reverse board printed color sleeve. Includes double-sided card insert, polylined inner bag, hype sticker, and download code. More brutal sounds from the thriving UK scum/noise rock underground. Louse: purveyors of the finest cellar-dweller scum rock since 2020; a disgusting cocktail comprised of four parts Foot Hair (Box Records) and two parts The Shits (Rocket Recordings), served over a capsized cruise-liner. Described as wielding "damp and sticky instruments," being "rotten from the inside" and sonically "stinking drunk, shirtless with no shoes, crawling around in your head," Louse gleefully pummel one riff into oblivion, deranged howls and punishing buzzsaw guitars growl over driving disco beats and slide bass. A carnival in an open sewer. Creep Call -- Louse's debut LP, after various tapes, live recordings and a split 10" lathe cut with The Shits -- is a true statement of intent. Presented by the magnificent Riot Season, the record is the result of a (wasted) life's work honing and toning the platonic ideal of single-riff noise rock, all wrapped up in a grindhouse, Giallo-flick package. Briefly elevated from the basement, Creep Call was recorded with James Atkinson at The Station House Studio in 2023 and mastered by S. Bishop, so the carnage has never sounded better. Perfectly balanced ugliness drenched in feedback, pumped up with Stooges keys and sax (honk honk) -- the closest thing to experiencing the deafening, goofy, beer-soaked-undergarment chaos of a Louse show first hand. Creep Call features wholesome ruminations on perpetual home invasion, road-side pornography addiction, perfecting a cannibalistic diet, and an unmistakable cowboy/line-dancing anthem. Do the wrong thing, and answer the call.

Limited-edition, 300 only worldwide on deep-yellow colored vinyl, housed in a reverse board sleeve, with hype sticker, polylined inner bag and download code. Stars align and Oli Heffernan brings his ever-(d)evolving Ivan The Tolerable to Riot Season for two LPs of sublime entropic drift. Having this time recruited Christian Alderson (The Unit Ama) on drums, John Pope (Ponyland) on double bass, Kevin Nickles (Ecstatic Vision) on flute and saxophone and Ben Hopkinson on electric piano -- both works were recorded as a quintet almost instantaneously, the players barely brushing or breathing a note before the whole thing was done. The first LP, Vertigo (REPOSE 142LP), is all claustrophobic, dense and disorientating -- like Sun Ra sitting in with Exploding Star Orchestra. The second LP, Water Music, is the music of lapping waves, becalmed, creaking hulls, circling birds and gentle winds. Equal parts Laraaji and Natural Information Society.

Limited blood-orange-and-red marbled vinyl. Housed in a gloss finished color outer sleeve with double sided insert. Following 2023's much lauded Kaliyuga Express debut Warriors & Masters, Nolla (Finnish psych/space rockers) and Mike Vest (Maximalist guitar guru, Bong, Blown Out, Drunk In Hell, Artifacts & Uranium, Modoki, Tomoyuki Trio, Mienakunaru) combine their visions once again and explore dark futuristic mindscapes. They set their sights to the looming eons and gaze through an occult lens. Inspired by classic space rock, driving hypnotic krautrock and bleak synth soundscapes. The ground was laid in improvised Nolla sessions and further ascended with gloomy prophecies and lyrical explorations by Ilkka and Otto. With Ohto's assertive drums and Teemu's solid guitars the canvas was set for Mike to paint his transcendent multilayered guitars. Bleak and overbearing sights are explored, but the future holds a speck of hope if you are prepared to embrace the darkness. For fans of: Hawkwind, Can, Sun Dial, Bevis Frond, space rock, Krautrock. Recorded in Finland and the United Kingdom Winter/Spring 2024.

Shit And Shine return to Riot Season where it all began with their debut You're Lucky To Have Friends Like Us (2004) for their 20th anniversary. Rum And Coke, is only available as a limited edition white vinyl LP (300 copies worldwide) with download code and hype sticker. The album also features vocals from Callum Howe (The Shits) and it's Shit And Shine at their filthy/noisy best. Guitar/vocals -- Craig Clouse; Vocals -- Callum Howe (The Shits); Drums -- He Who Will Remain a Mystery. Mastered by James Plotkin. Rum And Coke comes stumbling out the speakers with the week old stench of an alcoholic exiting his late night hideaway into the sunshine of a new day. It is the sound playing inside his fermented brain as he heads of in search of his next tipple. It's grimy, it's noisy. It's a bit of a bastard. Heavy, impenetrable layers of gnarled guitars, slurred vocals, pounding drums all wrapped in a blanket of thick sludge.

Machiavellian Art and Riot Season Records present Population Control. An intense exploration of societal and self-imposed controls, encapsulated in a dynamic contrast between Side A's visceral anger and the introspective ambiance of Side B. This duality mirrors the contrasting themes of external control versus internal reflection. Population Control extends beyond its predecessor, Indoctrination Sounds, in both musical depth and thematic scope. The album confronts a broad spectrum of modern-day addictions -- not just to substances, but to technology, social media, and the relentless 24-hour news cycle. These themes manifest across tracks like "A Slow Death," "Population Control (1) + (2)," "Fear of the Outside World," and "Crisis," each exploring the resulting isolation, paranoia, fear, and hopelessness. "Seaside Holiday," a critique of environmental negligence, specifically highlighting the issue of untreated sewage being dumped into Britain's waterways by private companies. Limited-edition lilac colored vinyl LP with download code.

They're back! This time the Finnish seers Mahti venture even deeper into the unknown on their third release Musiikki 3, assisted by the creativity of English musicians Richard Dawson and Sally Pilkington. The music reaches for space and roots at the same time bringing forth Mr. Dawson's earthy guitars and angelic voice while Ms. Pilkington weaves ethereal layerings with her synths and joins occasionally the choir. Hannu Saha conjures ancient Karelian spirits with his kantele while Muumu, Lehtibabba, and Mätky mesmerize the listener with their unique mix of electro, rock and noise. The end result is an album full of Musiikki unlike any you've ever heard before! Limited mirage blue/green marble colored vinyl LP with download code.

Limited black vinyl repress. Osaka based psych-rock three-piece Hibushibire return after a long break, with a new line up and a stunning third album. Following the successes of their debut album Freak Out Orgasm! (2017), the follow up Turn On, Tune In, Freak Out (2019) and two very well received UK tours, the band headed home to Osaka, Japan and then, the pandemic hit. During this downtime, guitarist/vocalist Changchang decided to create a new power trio. Enter Tetsuji Toyoda (bass/vocals) and Aoi Hama (drums/vocals). Now finally, Hibushibire mark two is born properly. Entering the studio with Acid Mothers Temple/Mainliner guru Makoto Kawabata in the producer chair (and also as a guest musician) once again, the band recorded album number three, Magical Metamorphosis Third Eye. Makoto also adds some of his own trademark guitar howls throughout the album, perfectly complimenting Changchang's own growing prowess. Like the band's first two albums, Magical Metamorphosis Third Eye is very much an album of two halves. Side one again is full of killer shorter tracks, while side two is reserved for a blinding majestic 20-minute epic "Ayahuasca Witch Abduction." Perhaps the biggest musical surprise here though is probably track two, the beautifully mellow tripped out "We Won't Go Back To The Past," which sounds like it's been beamed straight out of the late '60s/early '70s. The band also tip a nod to the Beatles psychedelic classic "Tomorrow Never Ever Knows," but with their own twist of course. It's clear with the line-up changes, Changchang has decided to expand the bands musical pathway, and he's achieving stunning results. Includes full-color sleeve, double sided insert, polylined inner, hype sticker and download code.

The second album from Finnish experimental band featuring members of the legendary Circle. Mahti are a Finnish four-piece group presenting a unique mixture of ambient-rock, electronic music and traditional Finnish-Karelian music. Lengthy semi-improvisational pieces are built on top of complex, hypnotic grooves which are layered with opaque guitars and strangely soothing noise elements. In the heart of it all there's kantele, an ancient Finnish string instrument played by Hannu Saha, who has studied Finnish folk music in theory and practice for nearly five decades. The other players are Jussi Lehtisalo and Tomi Leppänen, who also form the rhythmic core of avant-rock group Circle, and psychiatrist Teemu Elo. Strange dreams guaranteed! Limited edition transparent purple marble LP. Housed in a stunning full-color sleeve with polylined inner bag and download code.

Bruxa Maria are back on their third full-length; be grateful. Build Yourself A Shrine And Pray is 45 minutes of pummeling, punishing fury as unrelenting and all-consuming as your anger at coming up short for the rent. The new record finds the band just as enraged as their 2016 debut, while continuing to evolve artistically. Bruxa Maria's huge bass and guitar, frantic drums, and banshee shrieking vocals build tension with few moments of release, the frenzy sometimes dissolving into feedback, static, and synth drones. Often the riffs have a swagger that makes you want to dance, and in a few places there are flashes of some genuinely pretty melodies and hooks. Those moments all shine through for just an instant before being shredded by the noise and wrath, torn apart flower petals under a line of razor wire. This is dark music about and against a darkening world, where anger and art are crucial to how we keep on keeping on. You can call it now, this is going to be the best record of 2023. Bruxa Maria are: G. Dread - guitar, vocals; Dave Cochrane - bass (Head of David, God, Terminal Cheesecake); Paul Antony - Drums (Ghold, Test Dept); Robbie Judkins - Synth noise (Left Hand Cuts off The Right). Dread black vinyl. Includes three double-sided A4 inserts and download code; printed outer sleeve with poly-lined inner.

Sun yellow vinyl; gatefold sleeve. Continuing the "first time on vinyl" purge of the Acid Mothers Temple archives. Here's the band's classic 2006 album finally available on double vinyl for the first time. Myth Of The Love Electrique is another scorcher from these ridiculously prolific psych masters. This album is notable for being the debut of their newest band member: Kitagawa Hao. Kitagawa's presence doesn't dominate the recording by any means, but her contributions nicely complement the swirling chaos the group generates. Acid Mothers Temple always manages to find a breath of fresh air at the most opportune times, and this is no exception. While remaining a tight unit, bringing Kitagawa into the fold adds another dimension to their chaotic sprawl without having to sacrifice any of their strengths on this incendiary album.

Reissue, originally released in 2005. First time available on vinyl for 15 years. New sleeve artwork with photos by Steve Gullick and pressed on dirty white vinyl. Ladybird... one perfect heavy as fuck hypnotic riff played over and over and over and over across two sides of an LP. Back when Shit And Shine formed, the idea was basically to sound like their heroes Drunks With Guns and Strangulated Beatoffs, using that same basic formula. A big dumb ass catchy riff played over and over until the joke gets old... then keep going. Recorded live at Southern Studios, London (fun fact: the same room where Bauhaus recorded "Bela Lugosi's Dead") in 2004 with just two basses, a snare drum, a huge cardboard box and a tiny toy Casio SA-1 keyboard (using the "airplane" sound hitting the same key over and over for 41 minutes). Some still say it's the best thing Shit And Shine has ever done. No argument there. Originally released on CD, and super limited vinyl. This was Shit And Shine's second release and it sold out quick. Remastered and beefed the hell up by Craig Clouse at Shit And Shine Ranch, 2022. Don't sleep on it. Edition of 300.
