4 Walls Falling “Culture Shock” LP in stock! ⚡️ The first ever release from this Richmond, VA group is more than just a trip down memory lane; it’s a politically charged collection of hardcore punk anthems whose relevance never seems to dissipate, even decades later. Originally released on Jade Tree in 1991, the album has been remastered and reissued by Vinyl Conflict and includes a huge poster and booklet.

My brother just dropped some next-level s**t! 🔥🎤 🔭 🔥 Emcee/Producer delivers 12 epic gloom-bap hip-hop tracks that transport you through space and time to soundscapes yet undiscovered, with densely packed, razor-sharp lyrics and epic beats to leave the most seasoned hip-hop heads spinning. Digital album + instrumental version available on all streaming services. Merch bundles available at ptolemy-music.com

Most widely known for his disproven theory of geocentricity, Claudius Ptolemy also published works on geography, mathematics, astrology, and harmonics. Ptolemy’s work influenced generations of scientists and the geocentric model was accepted for hundreds of years. True progress means always seeking truth and being able to admit when we are wrong. Like his eponym, PTOLEMY taps the contributions of his predecessors to carry the torch of truth and wisdom. With his debut Ptolemy The Wise, the emcee summons ancient knowledge of science and mathematics, light and sound from the Library of Alexandria.

Majorly fu***ng bummed about closing. It was homebase for many public research events (colloquially known as “shows”) and they were always super supportive of ’s environ-metal experiments. I was off the sauce by the time I started attending Vitus, but it was probably the only bar that I actually enjoyed going to.
RIP VITUS… until we meet again in Valhalla🤘

Generous writeup of on long-running fanzine Jersey Beat by :

“Each of the six entries on “Many Shall Fall” is exceptional and praiseworthy, featuring all of doom-metal’s signature heavy, thick, and sludgy elements; easily recognizable and not-so-recognizable movie samples add flavor to the recipe. Elements of the title song leave the most devastating mark. Overall, it is a record worth mentioning among greats such as Sleep, The Sword, and High on Fire.”

Action Patrol was a monumental influence during my formative years. They were one of the first local punk bands I really got into, though sadly I never saw them live because my parents wouldn’t let me drive to Richmond on a school night. I first heard the “Up And Running” EP via a dubbed cassette tape that got passed around my group of friends. I was immediately obsessed. “The Weak Force” LP was one of the first vinyl records I ever bought after discovering local distro/store Lumberjack. When I started my own distro a couple years later, AP’s “On Patrol” CD was one of the first items I stocked. Essential s**t right here. Bitter Melody Records has done the world a service by remastering/reissuing this discography.

SHUMAUN “Opposing Mirrors” out now! 🪞⚡️🪞 Hard rock/prog metal with intricate rhythm sections, colorful synths, melodic vocals, and an insane amount of technical prowess. The first single “Some Memories” has been on repeat for about a week, and I’m convinced it’s the catchiest, most accessible prog rock song ever written.
