A389 FRIDAY THE 13TH UPDATE / NEWS NEWS NEWS

Man I wish every month had a Friday the 13th in it…waking up on these days it ALWAYS puts a smile on my face. Makes me want to call out of work, and watch Parts 1-8 in a row. Unfortunately dog days like that are a thing of the past for me so let’s settle for this classic clip…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09yOZsZuxMY
Pretty awesome right? At least he never made rap records like someone else I know :)
Anyways back to A389 news….huge thanks to everyone who’s been picking up the new releases!! The response has been overwhelming and the process of packing everyone’s orders gives me nightmares some nights but in the end it’s all worth it.
First off if you live on the west coast you NEED to be going to this….
Did we mention it’s FREE!!!!????
SCION A/V PRESENTS The A389 Recordings Showcase

Other than that we’re grinding away setting up our next releases with the plant.
Here’s what’s coming out in approximately a month’s time:
CYNARAE s/t 12/Digital
Crushing crusty metalcore from the NW that gives nods to the gods the 90′s Bremen scene (Acme, Systral, Morser etc)
HOMEWRECKER Worms And Dirt 12″/Digital
Dark powerviolence influenced metallic hardcore from Ohio. Their most evil sounding outing to date! Seriously…you’ll feel like one of those dudes in ‘Hostel’ listening to this.
SEVEN SISTERS OF SLEEP s/t Gatefold 7″+CD/Digital
Crushing occult inspired stoner doom for those with short attention spans. Comes in super deluxe packaging with a bonus CD!!!
PHARAOH This House Is Doomed 7″/Digital
The long awaited return of NJ’s Pharaoh. Expect more Neurosis meets Bloodlet style doom that picks up where their incredibly underrated ‘I Murderer, I’ 7″ left off!!!
Normally we post a song from each release on our soundcloud page to get you guys pumped and/or primed but in this case (and in the true evil spirit of Friday The 13th)
we will not.
However in a few short weeks we’ll be unleashing our
FREE 2012 DIGITAL MIXTAPE/SAMPLER
where you’ll be able to hear songs from all these releases and check out what we have coming out for the rest of the year. That’s right, (almost) all
of our secrets for the rest of 2012 are going to be revealed at last!!
Asides from that we’ll be announcing two classic repress/reissues from the A389 back catalog and a new band to go with them very soon.
So yeah that’s the update for this week. As always, thanks for everything, listen to a record, check out the A389 bands who are playing in your town and last but not least, taste the beast!!!

A389 TO RELEASE NEW VILIPEND LP ‘INAMORATA’
A389 TO RELEASE NEW VILIPEND LP ‘INAMORATA’

Baltimore’s A389 Recordings have announced they will be joining forces with Toronto Canada’s VILIPEND to release the band’s new full length LP ‘Inamorata’
The band’s sound combines the technical proficiency/ reckless abandon of 90’s metalcore ala Turmoil and Deadguy, crossed with the tortured desperation and nihilism of bands such as Buzz’oven and Eyehategod.
Since forming in 2007, VILIPEND have maintained a punishing writing and recording schedule. By 2008, they had released their live-off-the-floor debut EP, ‘Northern Hostility’, which was quickly followed by 2009’s ‘Love Left To Rot…’ EP.
As the band’s momentum grew, vocalist Christopher Gramlich incurred a frightening injury during a live performance, where he fractured an L-1 vertebra after leaping off a stage monitor. After being piled on by fans, who inadvertently broke his wrist and finger as well, he was ultimately forced to go to the hospital in an ambulance. The
remainder of VILIPEND finished their set.
This injury cruelly interrupted the rise of VILIPEND just as they had begun to establish
themselves. Nevertheless, with the help of medical science and an absurd abuse of painkillers, the band trudged on releasing the ‘Plague Bearer’ 7” (No List Records, 2010) and the self released ‘Northern Hostility: Live In Ajax’ CD.
In the wake of the injury and Gramlich’s painful convalescence, VILIPEND began work on their first full-length album, ‘Inamorata’. Their most ambitious offering to date. ‘Inamorata’ embodies the frustration, uncertainty, desperation, loss, resignation and hurt of that period, the desire to recapture what was lost and emerge stronger than before, tempered. The result is a developed, intelligent refinement of their abrasive aesthetic; it’s an album that features greater sonic lushness, conceptual richness and thematic depth.

Listen to the VILIPEND track ‘To Impede The Healing Process’ taken from their LP ‘Inamorata’ Coming soon via A389 Recordings
