"Gilded Sorrow is a pivotal moment for The Obsessed from Maryland. The band is one of the earliest purveyors of Black Sabbath-influenced doom metal in the US and set the standard for the so-called Maryland doom sound. Fronted by the legendary man Wino, who has also played with such luminaries as Spirit Caravan, The Hidden Hand, Place Of Skulls, Saint Vitus and Probot, David Grohl's metal project. This journey lead Wino back to The Obsessed and the band's fifth studio album, Gilded Sorrow. Not only is this doom metal in its purest form, the band has recreated the genre. All the characteristics are present but with Wino at the helm, the band unleashes a sonic blast not heard of within doom metal before which lifts the music to unprecedented heights. Songs like 'Jailine', 'Wellspring', 'It's Not OK' and the title track are brilliant examples of Wino's talents as a songwriter."

"An archival release of early muisc from Sonny Vincent, the legendary leader of The Testors, one of the original CBGB bands. It has music from his early protometal bands Fury, Distance and Liquid Diamonds. An album that goes one further by compiling tracks from Vincent's various pre-Testors power-trios from 1969-1976."

"First ever vinyl repressing of the legendary first album by desert rock heroes, Yawning Man. All new album art, created in concert with the band, to better fit the vibe of the album. Yawning Man, who hail from the arid desert area of Southern California, have been playing, jamming, and recording since 1986, and are a highly influential band. Most of their fans and those heavily influenced by them consider them to be 'the originators' of the entire 'desert rock' movement/genre, and their influence has reigned far and wide across the globe."

2021 repress. "Reissue of Poobah's classic 1972 proto-metal epic. Apart from the original release, there is plenty of unheard-of material on this double LP." Gatefold sleeve.
