Oxbow - The Narcotic StoryThe malls whisper. The halls whisper. The phone rings. And you are mocked and shamed while walls shiver down like wet sand and it is noticed like you are noticed, which is to say: not at all. And through all of their glass, steel and formless cold you move like it moves, along and alone, and you sleep while standing and you stand while waiting for buses and cars and in clubs at bars.
And then there is change. Crystalline change.
And between spaces and for spaces of the full measure of IT ALL what was big becomes small and what's small becomes animal grand until it's you, and handfuls of you, running into the always firing sun: a love that spells its name along the frame of everything that's broken. For good. For ever. And so it goes that OXBOW'S THE NARCOTIC STORY, co-produced by Grammy-winning producer-mixer JOE CHICCARELLI [FRANK ZAPPA, AMERICAN MUSIC CLUB, THE SHINS, THE RACONTEURS] is the sixth chambered installment of a suicide that plays itself out on the hustings of a substanced and principled addiction to failure while the band plays on.

If you do, then tell him to write us a check for the money he owes us. A few weeks ago he bought a fucking "HAGSTROM SWEDE ELECTRIC GUITAR MAHAGONY" and a calculated and hip "NEIL YOUNG CANVAS BACK PATCH" for a total of $337 through our Hydra Head ebay and paypal accounts. That was WEEKS ago and he still hasn't paid up. On top of that he asked for 8 days off this month...and keep in mind he's already exhausted his vacation time in the first 3 months of this year. The dude is clearly out of control. His name is Bryce. His email is bryce@hydrahead.com. His work phone number is 323.664.6810 x 5#. Please call him and email him asking that he kindly write us a check or just give us some cash for what is owed. If you call him, please record the conversation...maybe we'll use it on the sampler we are putting together right now...

Bergraven's main man, Pär, turns the traditional blast-and-flay aesthetic of “frostbitten grimness” on its ear and comes at us with sweeping riff dirges, winding cinematic passages, melodic guitar interludes, tortured-yet-vaguely-authoritarian & Germanic vocal overtones and—get this—ambient pedal steel excursions. All of which is enough to make your fucking head spin, especially if you (like us) are down with weirdness that transcends weirdness merely-for-the-sake of being weird and comes out on the other side looking like a total fucking destroyer. What we’re saying is this: Dödsvisioner is not your typical black metal experience, and Bergraven is not your standard Swedish killing machine.
Bergraven’s Dödsvisioner is Hydra Head's second collaborative work with Sweden's Total Holocaust Records. Rife with complex dirge riffage, bleak and haunting melodies, and traditiondefying rhythms, this black metal record is as torturous as it is wholly engaging. File in line with other black metal visionaries like Deathspell Omega, Ondskapt, and Leviathan. You may not yet have heard of Bergraven, but we guarantee you Dödsvisioner is already of the elite.
