space god ritual - eldritch tales

the third and last record of my first kozmik artifactz order is this baby here. alongside bongripper and glowsun these guys from portland, oregon called space god ritual caught my attention when i was looking through the kozmik shop. it was the damn cool cover of 'eldritch tales' that aroused my curiosity. so i listened to 'the weeping' which was embedded on the web page.
this was the kind of doom metal i like. weird, fuzzy, dramatic and all this with occult lovecraftian lyrics. i know quite some lovecraft stories and therefore it's always a nice touch to read conceptional lyrics i actually understand and where i don't have to do some research. 'eldritch tales' is their sophomore record. their latest record 'from void to ocean' was only released on cd. don't know why kozmik chose this album to be pressed to vinyl this year.
anyway, it definitely deserves to be pressed to our beloved format after two years of its initial release. maybe kozmik decides to do the same to 'from void to ocean'. besides, as i read on the space god ritual internet page the band is in the process of writing a new album. many material for future vinyl releases.
kozmik artifactz with their imprint bilocation records did an awesome job with this vinyl edition. the record comes in gatefold sleeve with a matte finish and looking sharp. love the artwork, the image and those cool colour transitions - gives you a real seventies feel. the vinyl itself comes on 180gr clear purple marble vinyl out of 166 copies. get yours here. kozmik artifactz/bilocation. 2015.
