Just in time to close out 2018, or
bring in 2019 (however you want to view it), an unusual offering will spew
forth from Hex Records.
This project pairs up Seattle’s
mightiest noise-metal merchants in Great Falls with Montreal’s long-running
powerhouse combo The Great Sabatini for a 12” of exclusive material in one of
the most unique presentations the bands (and this label) have undertaken to
date.
Each band offers up two new tracks,
each recorded during the sessions for their recent full lengths (both bands
just released excellent new LPs), but saved for this occasion. Additionally, there is a collaborative
track between each bands ‘sides’.
The records are housed in
letterpressed covers, designed and created by Great Falls guitarist/vocalist
Demian Johnson. The records
themselves lave a laser-etched B-side with a design created by Sabatini
guitarist Sean Arsenian. All the
records come on colored vinyl with a locked-groove during the interlude track
that requires the listener to ‘switch’ sides to play the next track (unless
they want to hear the interlude forever).
Is it over the top, weird, and potentially frustrating? Totally. But these bands would have it no other way because they are
each a challenging, yet rewarding, listening experience.
The LP is now up for
pre-order. Bring in this New Year
with weird heaviness.
