[TRANSMISSION A.D. 6.19.2009]

Distro updated with new rippers: Judgement: Just Be...7", Crow: Flock Of Beast 7", Acephalix 7", Chest Pain cassette, Subversion 7", etc.

 

 

Stuff in the works (some limited releases):

• DEADSEA :: cassette of their latest s/t album.
• PENIS GEYSER 7" :: fucked up noisecore along the lines of Sore Throat, Exit Hippies (without the dance tracks!), etc.
• PARALYZER: Counting Catastrophe (one sided) 12" :: savage hardcore from members of Black Dove and The Dead Hate The Living.

All badass and also, all very different types of releases for little old, Solar Funeral. All one, right? After this stuff, I foresee a pendulum swing back to some good, old-fashioned, raw, crusty hardcore punk.

Other label news:

• NUKKEHAMMER: The Future Of Siberia CASSETTE, soon. For those looking for the 1st cassette, it can still be found at 16OH (USA) and PLAGUE BEARER (DK).
• The wonderful, Slow Gold Zebra label will release a BLACK DOVE 7" in the near-ish future.
• I am also happy to say that a 2nd BLACK DOVE 7" will be released by Flower Of Carnage, the label that brought you the great GASMASK TERRÖR: Architects Of Death 7".

Black Dove: No Future/No Fate 12"

AVAILABLE NOW! 45 RPM 12". 9 bloody tracks of heavy, ferocious hardcore punk from Ohio in under 22 minutes. The music is unrelenting, ugly and driving without being formulaic.

MP3: Hordes of Lampadas
MP3: Doom Dream

$8.00 black vinyl.

Stores/distros, get in touch for wholesale.

Black Dove: December 2005 demo CASSETTE **OUT OF PRINT**

5 song demo finally put to its proper format. Run of 100 on printed, high-fidelity black cassettes. Recorded at Ultrasuede Studios in Cincinnati on 2" analog tape. The band also self-released roughly 300 of the same songs on a silk screened CDr.

*These are sold out/out of print, but Nuclear War Now and Velted Regnub still have some.

MP3: Why Do Babies Cry

[SOLAR003]
Fighting Dogs 7" E.P.

This ripper has three songs of savage energy, driving drums, harmonic leads, and plenty of speed picking. From their final recording session, this E.P. contains 3 songs, 2 new ones and 1 re-recorded that previously appeared on the 2005 tour demo. Hailing from Baltimore and Philadelphia, this is their 4th release; a testament to the progression of their sound. The lyrics tell tale of a blackened earth, but not without the will to dream. The music is nestled somewhere between the early Peaceville sound and modern, Swedish crust. Pressing of 500. This comes in a full-color sleeve with 2 sided insert. Cover art by Moses Saarni.

MP3: Hammer Of The Light

$4.00 black vinyl.

Stores/distros, get in touch for wholesale.

[SOLAR002]
The Awakening: Eternal Blizzard 12" **SOLD OUT**

Released in conjunction with Life Under One Tree (Japan), Namennayo Record (Japan), and Steppenwolf Recording (France/Luxembourg). For those of you that remember this band, The Awakening lasted for a short, two+ years (2000 - 2002) and played nearly 90 shows. This record has 16 songs, total. Influenced by mid 90s Japanese/Scandanavian hardcore and 80s speed metal, this includes the Final Feast 7", The Burning Wind 7", the Virginia Black Lung: Sea Of Steel split 7", and 6 unreleased songs from the final recording. All of the songs were recorded on 2" analog tape at Mars Studios.

CD version to come out later this year (?). It will also include the demo and probably some live tracks as well.

*I am sold out of this record, but you can still pick it up at Hardcore Holocaust, Blood Harvest, Blindead, Nuclear War Now!, Velted Regnub, Ebullition and Life Under One Tree.

MP3: Thirst At The Edge Of Death

[SF001]
Dismal: Terra Plague 7" E.P.

Raw, pissed, fast Scandanavian influenced (eg. Anti-Cimex, 1st Skitsystem 7") crust / hardcore with tinges of Amebix and Celtic Frost (Morbid Tales era) here and there. When the moon is gone and the octopods take over, this record will be your only defense. 5 songs, comes with a poster depicting your brutal future. Survival is your torture...heal now or perish!

MP3: Octopods Will Be The Genus Of A Moonless Earth

$3.00 black vinyl.
