Battleground
Records has confirmed the label's impending ninth release, announcing the
deluxe vinyl version of the gnarly Supa-Collider, the second
full-length from fuzz/stoner rock champs, POWERED WIG MACHINE.
Now
in their eighth year as a band, give or take a few months, POWERED WIG
MACHINE'sever-evolving, entertaining brew of fuzzed-out, southern fried
blues-boogie and righteous jams merging classic rock/blues influences with that
of top-tier modern rock acts, the band aptly self-dubs themselves, the
"Rare Earth of stoner rock." Based just miles from gritty Tombstone,
Arizona, these "Tombstoners" have issued several recorded works since
inception, including their 2009 debut full-length, Bearded Goddess,
and through those and sporadic regional live actions, have developed a solid
name with the diehard followers of the genre.
In
March of 2014, POWERED WIG MACHINE took it to the next level
with the monstrous follow-up toBearded Goddess, delivering the fantastic
jams of their sophomore album, Supa-Collider. The band's dexterous
diversity and empowering tactics shine brighter than the blazing sun which
ignites their desert surroundings on the album, putting the listener on cruise
control into the furthest reaches of the planet and beyond, the tunes
infiltrated with a slight flux of sci-fi otherworldliness. Self-recorded by the
band and mixed by Brian Gold at Primrose Studio in Sierra Vista, mastered by
Chris Goosman at Baseline Audio, and bearing artwork by Joseph Rudell and Rudy
Flores, PWM independently releasedSupa-Collider digitally
and on CD last year, yet the beast has yet to be unleashed in its primal vinyl
form... until now.
One
year after its initial release, Battleground Records will issue Supa-Collider on
high-quality wax, the record pressed on 180-gram translucent green vinyl with
orange and black splatters, limited to 300 copies and housed in a deluxe
gatefold package. In addition to the original seven tracks, this new edition
will also include a new LP-only bonus track, "Highish Noon",
with all eight tunes available for free high-quality digital download included
in the parcel. Stand by for info on preorders and audio of the bonus track
shortly. Fans of Clutch, Deep Purple, Fu Manchu, Thin Lizzy, Queens Of The
Stone Age and Fu Manchu, tune in. The video for the album's "At The Helm
Of Hades" can be scoped at THIS LOCATION.
