HELLAS MOUNDS

The name Hellas Mounds comes from the discovery of mountains near the Hellas basin on planet Mars. In keeping with otherworldly discoveries, HM has developed a sonic palette as unpredictable as it is focused. Space is the place for this pack of consummate musicians, but their sound is rooted deep in the Earth's core, creating psychedelic and ambient soundscapes that compliment their chunky, rhythmic and larger-than-life riffs. Even when their jams stretch to almost twenty minutes, songwriting takes the stage, as not one second is lost in self indulgence. Each piece tells the story that you've been waiting all of your life to hear.

COMA RECOVERY

This is the best write up I could find - this band is mysterious!

Defining itself with origins in Albuquerque, New Mexico, The Coma Recovery (formerly known as Persona Projector) has been releasing its atmospheric hybrid of progressive rock upon the southwest and across the United States, slaughtering the livestock, burning the buildings, salting the earth, and enslaving the children of villages along the way for close to three years - leaving no eye open to weep for the dead. The Coma Recovery is bolstered by passionate musicians with a consensual desire to create inspirational music and demand its progress.

Mark McGuire

Mark McGuire, who you may know as one-third of Cleveland noise trio Emeralds, has more than 20 releases under his belt, but none quite like his offering for VDSQ. Of his song "Front Porch Breeze," McGuire says, "It started out as a ten-minute track..I had just come in from outside when I recorded it and I remember my hands being too cold from the wind to play at first. If I had waited a few minutes to start this would probably be a much longer piece."

Joshua Blatchley

Joshua Blatchley fronts the band Mountian Home and his release on VDSQ is his first solo instrumental guitar album. Stereogum praised his music as being "wandering, openly structured, classically tuned atmospherics."

UNTIL THE LIGHT TAKES US pre-party Thurs Dec 10th

Thursday Dec 10th
Vacation Vinyl presents an in-store DJ set by Pete Majors
and Cult of the Horn's DJ Steve Strong
celebrating the release of
the Black Metal Documentary:

UNTIL THE LIGHT TAKES US

WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY:

Aaron Aites and Audrey Ewell

Until The Light Takes Us tells the story of black metal. Part music scene and part cultural uprising, black metal rose to worldwide notoriety in the mid-nineties when a rash of suicides, murders, and church burnings accompanied the explosive artistic growth and output of a music scene that would forever redefine what heavy metal is and what it stands for to other musicians, artists and music fans world-wide. Until The Light Takes Us goes behind the highly sensationalized media reports of "Satanists running amok in Europe" to examine the complex and largely misunderstood principles and beliefs that led to this rebellion against both Christianity and modern culture.

To capture this on film, directors Aaron Aites and Audrey Ewell moved to Norway and lived with the musicians for several years, building relationships that allowed them to create a surprisingly intimate portrait of this violent, but ultimately misunderstood, movement. The result is a poignant, moving story that's as much about the idea that reality is composed of whatever the most people believe, regardless of what's actually true, as it is about a music scene that blazed a path of murder and arson across the northern sky.

FEATURING: Gylve "Fenriz" Nagell, Varg "Count Grishnackh" Vikernes, Jan Axel "Hellhammer" Blomberg, Kjetil "Frost" Haraldstad, Olve "Abbath" Eikemo, Harald "Demonaz" Nævdal, Bjarne Melgaard, Harmony Korine...

FEATURING MUSIC FROM: Darkthrone, Mayhem, Burzum, Ulver, Thorns, Gorgoroth, Enslaved, Boards of Canada, Black Dice, Sunn 0))), Múm, Lesser
