Taking a closer look at these Nausea ‘Extinction’ reissues, Svart have really gone all out in (re)presenting this material both in terms of audio and visuals.

Back in print for the first time in two decades, the record has been given a complete remaster by Jack Control at Enormous Door. Like the Cybergod / Lie Cycle release it’s a slick job, and the recording sounds as good as it ever has.

Housed in a gatefold sleeve with new cover art, the record comes with this huge LP sized booklet containing lyrics and photographs from throughout the band’s short-lived history.

Pictured here in this limited transparent bubblegum pink, we also have copies in black and green coloured vinyl.

The CD edition of this release also contains the Cybergod and Lie Cycle EPs (previously never available on CD). Sweet!

Available in store and online via www.blacksound.com.au. Open 10AM - 5PM today @ 351 Sydney Road, Brunswick.

Closed tomorrow, Monday, December 16, because buying records in 41 degree heat is neither grim nor frostbitten.

If you’re planning any online festive shopping we recommend getting in those orders ASAP. The Australia Post deadline for EXPRESS delivery before Christmas is December 20, but we don’t recommend leaving it that late if you’re further afield (WA, QLD, NT etc). We’ll be packing and posting orders as fast as we can to make sure they get out before the deadline.

We’ll be back to our regular shop hours on Tuesday from 10AM, and open extra late on Friday night, December 20, for the x Inepsy – Rock’ n’ Roll Babylon launch party. We’ll be slinging (free) drinks and records from 6pm until late.
