Bunch of cool and cult tapes added both in store and online. This one is for the hardened Metallica fans who have almost everything.

This self-reissued Metallica demo tape, replicating the original, was re-released as a special Record Store Day title in 2015.

Browse or pick ‘em all up 10-5 today, online via www.blacksound.com.au.

Discs ahoy! We’ve got some cult and not so cult discs of the silver variety going out this morning. Probably the highlight of this lot, alongside some first press Deicide and Brutal Truth, is the 1994 self released demo by Cryptal Darkness.

Cryptal Darkness (pre-the Eternal, who’d later adopt a more gothic doom style), played some absolutely savage death metal (as evident on this very rare disc from the ages).

Lots more in store, we’re open 10-6 today or online via www.blacksound.com.au.

Two years ago, we signed a lease on a shop front in Brunswick. And somehow, against all the odds, we’re still here (in no small part thanks to our customers, and friends of the shop who’ve supported us throughout this journey).

On Friday November 27, in celebration of our 2nd birthday, Blacksound Records will present for the first time in 4-dimensional quadraphonic sound:

Vile Apparition, Bacchus Harsh, Diploid, Sow Discord, Religious Observance, Rod Cooper: performing live on The Vessel, and Cadmium.

Presented live at QuadClub, inside the former Pontian Community Club building on the corner of Victoria and Percy streets in Brunswick, the venue features a four-channel quadraphonic sound system designed to place the audience inside a spatial field of sound built for volume, texture, physicality and immersion.

Located 600 metres from Blacksound Records, Quad Club is easily accessible by car or public transport and features a full bar and kitchen. Blacksound Records selected DJs will be spinning music after the bands until late.

This is much less of a festival and much more of a party. Tickets for this specially curated presentation of death metal, grindcore, electronic, sludge, avant-garde and screamo are on sale now via Humanitix for the low low price of $20. Swipe through this carousel for a brief write up on each of these S+ tier artists.

We’re open as usual today from 10-6, where you can purchase titles from the artists we’ve featured in store and online via www.blacksound.com.au.

The debut album from Icelandic post-rock outfit Sigur Rós, special limited edition first time on vinyl reissue from 2009.

Von was a bit of a weird one in that it was mostly a commercial failure upon release, selling only 313 copies in Iceland, but then exploded in popularity after the release of Ágætis byrjun which saw both albums go platinum.

That murky, sun bleached reverb and bowed guitar sound would become a weird zeitgeist moment for post-rock, with Sigur Rós pushing it out of the darkness and into more mainstream view.

You can pick this one up 10-6 today, online via www.blacksound.com.au.

Two highly influential records from the lords of stoner / southern rock.

Revisiting these, after maybe not really having listened to them since high school, I can confirm both Blues For The Red Sun (1992) and …And The Circus Leaves Town (1995) still hold up.

The band of course fell apart, but would give way to the likes of Josh Homme’s Queens Of The Stone Age (and many more).

We’ll be open 10-5 today for in store browsing, online via www.blacksound.com.au.
