about

"In September of 1960, J Robert Oppenheimer, father of the
atomic bomb, set out upon a lecture tour of Japan.
Oppenheimer, who had su􀆦ered great guilt in the years
since witnessing the consequences of his scientific pursuits,
was of course stalked by a single question:
Would he visit Hiroshima?
In a letter presented to him during a September 17th
appearance at Asahi Kaikan Hall in Osaka, a 21 year old
student’s father begged:
Come to Hiroshima.
“We can understand the delicacy of the situation, but do
hope that your decision will not be dictated by any feeling that you might meet
with personal unfriendliness.”
“Hiroshima’s citizens bear no animosity toward any individual for the tragedy
which overtook them… our only hope is that there will never be another
Hiroshima.”
Oppenheimer was unfortunately unable to make that trip, as ongoing civil
unrest in the country of Japan had made his handlers nervous, and it was with
great regret that Oppenheimer drew his last breath seven years later, never
having visited the city of Hiroshima.
****
Oppenheimer in Japan takes an imaginative look back on that trip, proposing
the scenario that a grief stricken man was able to face the ghosts that had
haunted him for the last 15 years. That the father of the atomic bomb had the
opportunity to gaze upon the city that his work had devastated, and see the
potential for hope, for redemption, and for peace."

Available on a limited run of cassette tapes in our upcoming batch of release.

You just gotta love every aspect of this album. Abrasively raw, psychodelicaly spectral, lyrically gnarly. This is true DIY black metal made from a fiery heart.🤘🏻🔥🖤👹💀 josedenoche

Cryptic Nonsense
by Blood Tower

A new Blood Tower album is always cause for celebration—the depth of vision Lord Bill packs into each gemlike song is astounding. This release gives me a feeling of watching midnight movies in a rundown theater on the edge of town with a few other brave souls. As we emerge blinking into the thick darkness all the horrors we saw onscreen start creeping out from the shadows, flapping wetly across the moon, skittering down from the trees, clutching icily at our ankles through the churning dirt.

Magic that was forgotten by our grandfather’s grandfathers, so old and esoteric that we only get implications of such power. Merlin was much younger at the time, just beginning their studies in the arcane. silentvector503
