PRE-SALE TO BEGIN SEPTEMBER 27 at www.ridingeasyrecords.com
MUSIC TO PREMIERE ON NOISEY SEPTEMBER 24
September 24, 2014 – Halloween is about to get loud...
On October 31, RidingEasy Records will unleash a special split 10” vinyl featuring new music from both Windhand and Salem’s Pot. The pre-sale goes live here on September 27, and the pressing is limited to 1,000.
Among those, 100 are opaque orange as a Windhand exclusive, 100 are opaque purple as a Salem’s Pot exclusive, 50 will arrive in a Leather Sleeve by Freehand Leather, while Riding Easy Records exclusives include 100 clear (Die Hard) and 100 with an orange center and black outer. The 200 pressings of the Cobraside Exclusive will feature a black center and orange outer, and the remaining vinyl will consist of 150 red and 200 black.
On Side A, Windhand (Relapse Records) deliver the billowing “Forest Clouds”. A ten-minute journey through a haze of distortion and vocal wails, it’s an incendiary cut emblematic of the band’s technical prowess and thunderous energy. For Side 1, Salem’s Pot take a gargantuan trip of their own on “Pink Flamingos”. Rising from feedback swells into a booming and bombastic riffs, the track instantly transfixes as it evinces their technical prowess and knack for a groove. This is the ultimate Halloween soundtrack.
You can take a listen via Noisey’s exclusive premiere of the split at this link.
In other Salem’s Pot news, the Swedish psychedelic sorcerers will be playing the 2015 Roadburn Festival, are releasing the smoking 7” record “Ego Trip” on October 14th and will be on tour in February 2015 with label mates Monolord.
