Upcoming Releases

Nov 26 2011

...its looking like 2012 may see up to 5 or 6 releases from our camp...
- 'My Only Warm Coals' is being scheduled for around March/April
- I've got another new project being announced this week,, its something like if Black Tar Prophecies was programmed on samplers and had more head-bobbing/evil beats... //... New Label,, Cover Art,, and Mp3s available soon...
- we're looking into dragging out some of the rarest early Grails recordings and live tracks from around when the group changed its name ('02)//Burden of Hope-era...

- the new Om record is being mastered now and will be out in March on Drag City... recorded in about 5 different studios over almost 2 years = a beast...

- the next mission will be to try and attack Black Tar Vol.5 and the next HolySons full-length (basic tracking already finished)

Trouble In Paradise!

Sep 24 2011

Burning down the temples of insidious coercion,,, ripping down the curtain to find the True Controller!,, smashing thru the veil of entertainerist marionette-isms in a rebellious ecstasy,,, bringing truth with a big T in a van full of 4 sweaty guys that are often mistakenly identified as "losers" by a completely innocent general public,,, rocking into the future-clouded-memories of those who did not have time to figure out what the opening band was called,,,, its HOLYSONS!,,, receiving parking tickets in intervals of time and space previously thought 'unslice-able'...
Today's tale comes from what began as a simple Montreal show in the beautiful Corona Theatre...

..decided to drive out of Montreal after the show in search of a hotel,, slamming Jameson/Jim Beam hour after hour in a traffic jam stretching endlessly towards the US,, ...we finally cross the border with friendly shitfaced smiles but every hotel on the entire East Coast is full,, some sort of convention center bullshit at every single exit,, another hour and then another into an endless black non-destination,, finally give up and pull off to the side of the road,,, open the van doors wide to compete with encroaching claustrophic humidities and cram body onto the wet floor underneath the van chairs to sleep to the sound of rattling trucks and rain as the sun comes up..10-4

Jul 13 2011

Archive Mix #2:: eviscerating material from dusty piles of years of work while this year drags on with no time to schedule any other releases,, ..dumping out old hard-drives into a semi-'attractive' picture of the past,, ..Pushing into youth-era humiliations for a questionable form of entertainment,, this installment of songs comes from the late 90's >>a collage of "I'm Healed" ('98), "Will is Strong" ('99), "Trivialized" ('99), "I'd Never Strangle You" ('97) and "Corrupt and Corrupting" ('98)
...Late-night Laundry room chanting// basement anthems of independence// satanic ill-wishing...
== the sounds of sanity.
btw///these are all mixed on actual speakers and aren't really intended for laptops... //headphones would be better...
....I also re-edited and added the 2nd half of the original 'Call of the Wild' mix Grails released thru Jackpot Records in '08 to the radio page. 10-4

Exclusivity!//Benefits//Heaven on Earth!

Jun 4 2011

Let's get this thing moving,,, sure, its debatable whether or not websites ought to exist at this point,, but this will be an attempt to re-contextualize all that and bring a wealth of unforseen knowledge onto an unsuspecting world that steams with indifference and all around misdirection! -- if you get any ideas on how this site could be more rad let's talk on the forum and we'll try to implement new ideas -- In an effort to fancy this shit up I'm going to purge some of my older hard-drives and start posting super-rare recordings that have been lost for a long time and were never released for stupid/shameful reasons...
I'll be, in effect, trying to explain the curse of HolySons... if there is an answer,, we'll have to find it together... ...the first installment of unreleased songs comes from the 'Decline of the West' era and features clips from songs that all sound like Hitchcock/Depalma titles for some reason...
::: 'Born to Twist the Knife' ('07), 'Drifter's Sympathy II' ('07), 'Inner Compass' ('06), 'Delusions of Grandeur' ('07) ...none of these songs are scheduled for release...
