TVX - S/t (2019)

Very special release by Wellington's Tvx in memory of their vocalist and beloved friend of ours Anna, who sadly passed away last year. Produced using live vocals from one of their last gigs.

Walrora - ST (2008)

Walrora was an all female Crust/Sludge/Black Metal band from Aussie that came over in about 2008/09 and played a couple of really fun house partys. I don't really know much about them or what happened to them but this is a riveting demo and it deserves more air time. They also did a split 7'' with Scab from Wellington.

Vilopticon - Merry Christmas Baby (200?)

Vilopticon were a short lived Sludge Metal band around Auckland, Sean Ginge was the singer but I'm not sure of the rest. I believe they had a couple of recording of full concept albums but no idea where they could be! Anyway I received this lovely present in the mail 1 year for Christmas, they do some hilarious doomy/sludgey covers of Rudolph the red noised reindeer, jingle bells, I saw mummy kissing Santa Claus among others. Its pretty awesome, real garage quality low fi stuff that will get you pissed on Christmas.
