Preorders for the Myteri Self-Titled LP have been posted on our website at http://www.replenishrecords.com

RR25 Myteri - Myteri

"Myteri from Gothenburg, Sweden, play epic, soaring and heavy as fuck crust punk that will make you wanna raise your fist to the sky, get into your riot gear and start a full blown fucking riot.  Myteri’s music evokes apocalyptic landscapes, torn apart by war, plague, misery, and famine, but their songs are not completely devoid of all hope. There is a shining light in this band’s music that seems to be almost incendiary, like a torch for survival.  The last light of hope left in a world otherwise plunged into shadows.  The only light left to find the way out of the misery mankind has pulled upon itself.  Survivalism and freedom are huge conceptual elements in epic crust like this, and Myteri seem to really have wanted to emphasize this with their sapient use of epic d-beat gallops, war-torn vocals, and heavy, melodic riffing.  Myteri’s debut full-length album is a sprawling and unforgiving opera of darkened heavy punk that draws much influence from legendary crust bands like Amebix, Antisect, Anticimex and Totalitar, and from head-on collision-like d-beat bands like Wolfpack, Doom and Disfear.  But the real genetics of the band lie mostly in epic Spanish crust like Cop On Fire, Ictus, Ekkaia, and emo-crust in the vein of Remains of the Day etc., where the punk assault can be real, incumbent and heavy as fuck, but eerie melodies mostly coming from the guitars can also make the songs more luminous and atmospheric.  In any case, this is a prime example of amazing melodic heavy crust – if you like Tragedy, this shit will clamp on to your soul and not let you go ever again."  CVLT Nation

NOW AVAILABLE Autarch / Soothsayer Split LP

The Autarch / Soothsayer Split LP (limited to 300) is now available to order directly from our website at replenishrecords.com

RR19 Autarch / Soothsayer Split

“Neo-crust is a fickle genre, often difficult to pin down in the grand scheme of extreme music. On one hand, it is short and aggressive with more melodic tendencies, calling to mind such acts as Tragedy and His Hero Is Gone. However, on the opposite end of the spectrum, it is a genre that revels in the space between the d-beats, an epic blend of doom and black metal, as well as crust punk, such as Fall of Efrafa and Nux Vomica. With the newest split from Pennsylvania-based Soothsayer and North Carolina-based Autarch, both sides of the spectrum are shown in full. Soothsayer focuses on the sludgy, drawn out end of neo-crust, crescendoing from desolate valleys to mist capped peaks. The tone is epic, rarely falling back on a simple d-beat pattern for much longer than a few seconds, and creating such massive soundscapes to do genre pioneers proud. On the other hand however, there’s Autarch, focusing more on the power-filled, intense blasts on the HHIG side of the spectrum. The overall music is intense and fast-paced, but carries a strong melodic edge, often blurring the line between crust punk and the more melodic leanings of black metal. The two styles mend well, different sides of the same coin, and provide a good starting place for anyone who might be new to the genre. While neo-crust may be a fairly new subgenre of extreme music, it’s exciting to see how much potential it has, especially when it comes to new acts such as Soothsayer and Autarch.” heavyblogisheavy.com

Formed in Pennsylvania in 2014, Soothsayer is a five-piece band from Pittsburgh that combines elements of hardcore and crust to create an original sound that is all their own.

PREORDER Vestiges / Panopticon Split LP and The Descent Of Man DLP/2CD/2CS

Preorders for the Vestiges / Panopticon Split LP and The Descent Of Man DLP/2CD/2CS have been posted on our website at http://www.replenishrecords.com

  "A new split LP from two of the best bands in extreme music today - Washington D.C.'s Vestiges and Kentucky's one-man band Panopticon. Two tracks from Vestiges, and three from Panopticon, all of which represent some of each band's strongest output to date. Tracks "VII" and "VIII" are the latest in Vestiges ongoing narrative centered around the relationship between man and nature. These tracks are definitely the darkest and strongest in their already powerful discography. Absolutely mind-blowing. The Panopticon tracks are also very impressive, and are some of the most beautiful and captivating material that Austin has released. "A Letter" and "The Eulogy" sound heavily influenced by post-rock, and have a similar vibe to the songs on the recent split with Wheels Within Wheels. Soaked in atmosphere, melancholy, and decidedly poignant. The third Panopticon track is a very dark and emotional cover of Suicide Nation - the punk/metal band from Tempe, Arizona that broke up in the early 2000's - called "Collapse and Die." If you're familiar with the original, you'll know that this is really terrific; it pays homage to the original while bringing its own fury and meaning." http://www.hammersmashedsound.com

  Mastered by Colin Marston (Altar of Plagues, Krallice, Rosetta), the split has been one of the most anticipated records of the past year and is now available through Replenish Records on both black wax (limited to 600) and transparent blue/black splatter wax (limited to 300 and exclusive to our label) housed in a gatefold jacket.

        "The DIY ethic has long been a tremendous ideal that has always appealed to my often times ridiculous sensibilities, but what can I say besides that there is just something to a band putting their blood sweat and tears into a project from the first inkling of inspiration to breaking open that box of records from the record plant; the whole project seems more genuine or more “real” if you will, and not that all bands who do release records themselves are always doing it with DIY intentions more like a simple necessity. When the download for The Descent Of Man first started making the rounds on the world wide internet at the end of 2010, I immediately took notice of Vestiges due to the mammoth blast of devastating sound that the band conjures from their instruments and the brute force of the vocals that come screaming from my speakers. Ambitious, epic, grand, are all adjectives that one could use when describing The Descent Of Man, and those would certainly not be hyperbolic fodder given by an over fawning critic; instead, though, I would be more apt to say that Vestiges seemingly lay down a challenging record full of bombast (check out the opening two minutes of “I” for a perfect example and the explosive “V” for another great example) that is a dynamic roller coaster ride that hits on all of the touchstones that this emerging style. This is certainly a polished effort as the band seamlessly transitions from song to song without batting an eyelash (something some bands never quite master) while still making each track a unique piece of music and the melodic aspects of the music fit perfectly with the crunch of the guitars and the pounding of the drums (the relentless drumming in “II” is awesome, so go there to hear what I am saying). So many great records have been self released in the last few years, and, partially, this trend has something to do with how most record labels actually are clueless on how to operate in the age of digital file sharing, while the ones that do get it are overwhelmed with releases as it is; on the other hand, some artists do generally want to release records themselves, and I have personally benefited from these situations by hearing great music and seeing amazing packaging. The Descent Of Man from Vestiges is no exception and there are still copies of this release available if you do take the plunge and up immersing yourself in the record as much as I have (this honestly sounds awesome on a turntable), so do yourself the favor of checking this beast out or sleep on it and forever hate yourself for it." http://www.scenepointblank.com

  Remastered by Mell Dettmer (Alda, Sunn, Thou, Wolves In The Throne Room), the album has also been carefully reamped and remixed to reproduce the crushing atmosphere of the band's live performance. The Descent Of Man has been sold out and nowhere to be found for close to a year, but is now available through Replenish Records on both black wax (limited to 400) and bone wax (limited to 100 with a screenprinted D-Side) housed in a custom gatefold jacket. The album is also available on a Digipak 2CD (limited to 500) and an Amaray 2CS (limited to 250), which also features tracks from the band's first series of splits including VI, VII, VIII, and Zombie. Please note that preorders for this item will ship in four to six weeks. For more information, please visit http://www.facebook.com/wearevestiges

    100% of the proceeds from all digital downloads of the Vestiges / Panopticon Split will be donated to the United Way of Central Oklahoma to assist in recovery efforts for those who have been affected by the devastation in and around Moore, OK. With your help, Replenish Records and our artists have raised well over $800 in just five months in support of nonprofit organizations all over the world who specialize in direct action, so we couldn't be more thankful for your profound sense of generosity and willingness to embrace our rather nontraditional approach to being an independent record label. For more information and to learn how you can make a difference, please visit http://replenishrecords.tumblr.com/post/44277208560/replenish-establishes-donate-what-you-want

Activist Spotlight: Still Wild Still Threatened (Australia)

In 2006, a group of grassroots environmental activists representing forests and communities in Southern Tasmania joined together in recognition of the continuing threat to Tasmania’s ancient forests. Since this time the Still Wild Still Threatened (SWST) campaign for Tasmania’s Southern Forests has garnered significant attention and dramatically raised the public profile of forests such as the Styx, Weld, and Upper Florentine. Still Wild Still Threatened advocates for the immediate formal protection of Tasmania’s precious Southern Forests using a combination of political and corporate lobbying, community education, research, exploration and frontline direct action. In addition, the group promotes the creation of an equitable and environmentally sustainable forest industry in Tasmania. Protecting Tasmania's ancient forests: a real climate change solution.

On January 1st, Replenish Records established a “donate-what-you-want” pay scale on our entire digital catalogue with 100% of the proceeds being donated to a number of different nonprofit organizations all over the globe in the name of our artists. Together, Replenish Records and Encircling Sea were able to raise $200 for Still Wild Still Threatened during the first month of fundraising alone, which will be used for "direct action and a new banner for the blockade site" by the environmental activists in Australia.  On behalf of everyone involved, we would like to thank you for the considerable amount of contributions thus far, we only hope that we can continue to help raise the funding needed for Still Wild Still Threatened to continue their campaigns against deforestation in Southern Tasmania. Replenish Records is a collective of artists making music to inspire social change, and this is more or less our way of ensuring that we are not only raising awareness of important issues, but also raising the much needed funds to support those who specialize in direct action. So while you may not be supporting us directly, you are supporting the change that we could only hope to achieve by offering our music for free and spreading our message as far and as wide as possible, and that’s seriously all we could ever ask.

Formed in Australia in 2009, Encircling Sea is a four-piece band from Melbourne that combines elements of doom, black metal, and post-rock to create their own epic, sprawling, and beautifully atmospheric brand of metal. The band transitions seamlessly from one genre to the next in order to weave an intricate web of intense emotions about the reconnection to earth and the true meaning of home.  The band’s full-length album A Forgotten Land is now available through Replenish Records on heavyweight double vinyl (limited to 300).  For more information about the band, please visit http://www.facebook.com/encirclingsea

Replenish establishes "Donate-What-You-Want" Payscale on Digital Downloads

As you may know, all of our releases are available for free stream and download directly on our website via Bandcamp, and as you may have noticed over the course of the last few years, we tend to do things a little different here at Replenish Records.  We have been receiving a ton of emails asking why we don't charge for our high-quality downloads, why we don't offer an option to name your price so that our listeners can support both our artists and our label, and why we are essentially paying to share all of our releases with the entire world.  It was somewhere between answering these questions time and time again, exchanging incredibly lengthy emails about our ethics when it comes to charging for ones and zeroes, and issuing refunds to those who decided to donate to us anonymously via PayPal when we finally decided to give in to these requests - albeit with a catch.

On January 1st, we established a "donate-what-you-want" pay scale on all of our digital releases with 100% of the proceeds being donated to a number of different nonprofit organizations all over the globe in the name of our artists.  Don't worry!  Our entire catalogue will always be available for free stream and download, just now with the option to name-your-price and donate to local organizations that have been selected by our artists, including Anarchist Black Cross Federation, Animal Rescue Corps, Boxer Luv, Center for Biological Diversity, Compassion Over Killing, HugAbull Advocacy & Rescue Society, Mayo Street Arts, Provid Animal Tijuana, Samuel Mooney Fund, Still Wild Still Threatened, United Way of Central Oklahoma, Wiggle Butts Bully Rescue, and more!  We have also teamed with Moshpit Tragedy Records at http://www.moshpittragedy.com to distribute our entire catalogue of digital releases under a similar pay scale to benefit the Cedar Row Farm Sanctuary in Stratford, Ontario, Canada.

Replenish Records is a collective of artists making music to inspire social change, and this is more or less our way of ensuring that we are not only raising awareness of important issues, but also raising the much needed funds to support those who specialize in direct action.  So while you may not be supporting us directly, you are supporting the change that we could only hope to achieve by offering our music for free and spreading our message as far and as wide as possible, and that’s seriously all we could ever ask.  For more information and to learn how you can make a difference, please visit http://www.replenishrecords.com
