3/23/2008 - 3/29/2008

New full lengths are available this week from the Silver Mt. Zion, Soltero, and Excepter, as well as a new  Merzbow/Band of Pain split picture vinyl, and a collaboration between Fabrizio Palumbo (of Larsen) and Ernesto Tomasini (known for his work with Andrew Liles). Notable reissues include Coil's The Ape of Naples (with a full disc of alternate versions from the aborted Backwards release.)
