chocolate monk press release...

robedoor – christ’s vipers (cd-r)

slow smoke jams from californian sloth worshipers. total monochrome lurches into the feedback hole. like a mouthful of black strawberries. great dementia.

“voices, confusion, poisons. an endless fade to grey.” - not not fun

pocahaunted / robedoor "hunted gathering" 2xcd

there's a savage battle raging in the hallowed streets of los angeles, being fought by prehistoric megaliths spewing lava from their mouths. these acid-tongued shamans are interested in one thing and one thing only, and that's to raze this city to the ground. okay, perhaps it's not so apocalyptic, but hot off the heels of opening for sonic youth, dirt worshipers robedoor and their native sisters pocahaunted have unleashed an army for the ages with "hunted gathering." drones painted with black holes collapse under their own weight while the archangelic voices of pocahaunted birth a brand new world of spirit decay.

"hunted gathering" is both a split release and a collaboration. each band offers up their own malfeasance while collaborating on the epic final eponymous track. the union of these two groups is a natural combination. two members are married and run the not not fun label together and they share amps and practice space, for example. but there's also something about both that is visceral and raw. robedoor's subsonic doom is washed down with a smooth chaser of pocahaunted's reverberating soul sounds.

recorded by the inimitable bobb bruno at the nnf/bored fortress studio space across many moons in 2007 and mastered by yellow swans' pete swanson, "hunted gathering" is an essential feast for fans of doom-infused drones and stevie nicks. these hunting & gathering songs from the eagle rock air also feature appearances by the aforementioned bruno as well as changeling mastermind, roy tatum.

climb the totem pole and let these mutant beasts put you under their psychosis spell. "hunted gathering" is full of antiquated sounds soaked in electric mud. robedoor and pocahaunted are your brothers and sisters in conjuring and the gatekeepers to a lost universe of sonic enchantment.

ketchup cavern (canada) #kc 08 ep

robedoor “pagan drugs” seven inch single record

pagan drugs (6:30)
dragon fang burnout (6:45)

november 2009 release ; two burners from the robedoor trio - the title track coming across as their “form destroyer” era skullflower tribute (it’s all there ; right on down to the monotone sandpaper vocals - lyrics on the back cover - albeit a little peppier in the tempo-dept) - the other an almost barn owl-ian drone creeper that turns right back into the aforementioned “bottom of the well” crawl ...

magic tar pit ride
shades
into shadow (demo version)
natural darkness

april 2009 release ; further amplifier worship from alex & britt, approaching almost twisted-village-ian levels of home-studio heavy-guitar-burnout (seriously, halfway through the side that peaks w/ the bit in the sound-sample, i forgot i wasn’t actually listening to an nth generation dub of vermonster !!!)

monorail trespassing press release...

[mt66cs] robedoor exorcist blues c-33

transitional release that sees the group expanding on their previous incarnation with more control and composition. a peak effort of scorched amps and raw hands, voices still wailing in a desert somewhere.

robedoor “rancor keeper” long playing record

empty temple
abyss whisperer
penitent runes
wendigo psychosis

january 2009 release ; domestic lp version of the o/p swedish cd ...

kind of slept on this (these guys in general, actually) but now i’m starting to see the light ; put away any notions of them as merely sunn o))) / growing acolytes & instead focus on the misted, sub-mouthus fidelities on display herein ... there are some really, really great long stretches of tonal feedback-blare & banshee-wail all but buried in a miasma of tape-overload & distorted grit ; even at a fairly aggressive clip it took a few spins before i noticed the cycling bass-patterns (listen to the sound-sample) that anchor the mid-range mêlée, bringing it much closer to the kinds of noise-addled doom concoctions conjured up by folks like tim hecker (albeit recorded on what sounds like a micro-cassette, beamed via satellite to mcmurdo station, then left to crawl back on the dormant transatlantic telegraph cable) ...

great stuff ; i’m going to have to go back & (re-) visit their last few sides ...

seacave press release...

me and a buddy of mine started a label called seacave and we just got our first release in. it's robedoor's "rancor keeper" on vinyl in an edition of 500 in pro-printed, reverse board sleeves. it's all the tracks from the oop release the bats cd version, remastered for vinyl by pete swanson and featuring all new artwork put together by britt and alex

later. th.leboeuf. seacave.

sunny california... yeah, right. after several limited cdr, vinyl and tape releases (we are talking about 30 releases since 2005, plus various compilation contributions!), the los angeles duo finally unleashes their most definite major opus to the masses. rancor keeper is a bleak and uncompromising trip into the nightmarish drone-rituals of robedoor. a sinister haze of bleeding walls, humans hanging from trees and rotten corpses returning from the other side. recorded spring 2007 at bored fortress studios, rancor keeper consists of 4 songs with a total playtime of about 40 minutes. comparsions has in the past been made to bands like the skaters and skullflower, but with their unique occult atmosphere, robedoor will always stand on their own. no mosh, no core, no fun.

alex: slime, knives, distortion
britt: fire, howls, clocks
