The Mylene Sheath Update: Caspian / Junius / Constants


*CASPIAN - You Are The Conductor / The Four Trees 3xLP PRE-ORDER!

On May 14th we'll begin taking pre-orders for the deluxe vinyl 3xLP package that combines 2005's "You Are The Conductor" EP and 2007's "The Four Trees" full length together as one massive 3xLP package. The albums have been remastered for this release by Constants' Will Benoit and the artwork has been completely overhauled and includes photography by Andrew Weiss and design and layout by N.Shumaker/Northern Lights Industries. This is ONE TIME PRESSING of 500 copies with 400 available for mailorder. We'll NEVER be repressing this, EVERRRRRRRRR. The jackets will be tri-fold gatefolds on 400gsm stock (!) with metallic pantones and the vinyl will be on 160 gram colored vinyl. Colors and their quantities will be disclosed when the pre-order starts. This will be the only opportunity to own this version of the master recordings with this artwork and layout. Both the original vinyl versions of these releases are out of print and unavailable and we're not sure if/when we'll be repressing them, so please don't sleep on this release if you're jonesin' for some Caspian vinyl!! May 14th... Also, Caspian is currently touring Europe to finish up their massive 3 month world tour in support of last years Tertia, check out all the dates in the "shows!" section!

*JUNIUS - Junius 2xLP PRE-ORDER UPDATE!

We want to first of all thank everyone that has pre-ordered a copy of Junius' self titled 2xLP, the response has been amazing and we sold out of the most limited version in less than 24 hours! We still have copies of the translucent red version available HERE!! And also the "Martyrdom" + "self titled" package deal can be ordered HERE!!


Everything is perfectly on schedule with these puppies and there's even a slight chance they may start shipping a little earlier than expected =) So we'll keep everyone posted on that. The band is touring Europe throughout May and early June, full tour dates are listed in the "shows!" section... onward!!

*CONSTANTS - If Tomorrow The War

As many of you know by now, Constants have revealed the title of their upcoming, new full length "If Tomorrow The War". The band has foregone any type of conventional follow-up to 2009's "The Foundation, The Machine, The Ascension" and instead created a stunning album of Jesu-meets-Jimmy Eat World inspired sonic carnage. With guest appearances by Mike Hill (Tombs) and Andrew Neufeld (Comeback Kid, Sights & Sounds) and production handled by none other than Justin K Broadrick (Jesu/Godflesh), these shoegazers turned indie-metal pioneers are poised for a huge year. And after playing 600 shows since 2005, it's tough to argue that there's a more deserving band of success! The band has made two tracks available for streaming on their website HERE. Also, as an added bonus, the band has recently uploaded a cover of the Type O Negative song "Love You To Death". Peter Steele was an important influence so the band wanted to record the cover to pay homage to him in light of his recent passing. Head over HERE and listen to it and give the band a comment on it =) The band is currently touring Europe with Caspian, so be certain to check the "shows!" section of the newsletter for full tour dates!! Also, if you're new to Constants and their creations, we strongly encourage you to purchase last years "The Foundation, The Machine, The Ascension", we released it last year on CD (also available on all download sites), but it's true presence can only be realized by the massive 3xLP version. Check it out HERE Tracklisting and album artwork for the upcoming "If Tomorrow The War" will be announced later, along with the official release date!
