In the spirit of R-rated animated films like Heavy Metal and
the works of Ralph Bakshi,Riff Lodge Animation (the studio behind the
mind-blowing music video for CONAN's ‘Throne of Fire’) are creating an epic
feature-length fantasy/science-fiction film called The Planet of Doom, created
entirely by artists and bands within the doom/stoner/psych/metal genres.
With the film still in post-production, we are thrilled to be releasing The Planet of Doom; First Contact EP on 22nd June, featuring original score music from Mos Generator, Vokonis, Messa and Slomatics. The Red edition of this sold out in just over an hour, only a few Blue (pictured) remain, and black.No repressings.
Tracklist:
1. MOS GENERATOR – ‘Sword of the Sea’ 2. MESSA – ‘Serpent Libido’ 3. VOKONIS – ‘Runa’ 4. SLOMATICS – ‘Jagaer’

Looking for Today is the debut full-length by Los Angeles
trio The Rare Breed, and as thick as the band lays it on in touting their love
of Sabbathian ways — and why not; “Mountain of Dreams” takes them to
near-Sheavy levels of Sab worship and they named their album after a Black
Sabbath song — it’s hard to listen to songs like “The Stranger” and “Rusted
Diamond” and not think of more modern, Uncle Acid-style garage doom swing.
“Visions” has more of a later-Ozzy-era vibe, and “Echoes” positively gallops in
the drums, but in its shuffle, closer “Witches Lore” has some of that
now-tinged rhythm as well (and some gallop of its own to boot), so there’s more
going on than just “we heard ‘Sweet Leaf’ and decided to start a band,” however
much guitarist Oscar de la Torre‘s vocals might be derived from the work of a
certain Mr. Osbourne.
Wherever it was coming from, The Rare Breed released Looking for Today back in the BeforeTime, in the long-long-ago — 2016 — and this month the record will get its post-apocalyptic reissue via Ripple Music
Only 100 of the blood splattered variants were pressed, along with black vinyl and CD's.
This album in now nearly a lost classic.Don't miss out on your chance to pick one up.
