Plans for 2013

 As 2012 came to close, it turned out that we had a decent amount of  releases planned for the upcoming (now present) year. Below you will find info on these releases. The sooner we get them out, the more we will plan. Here's hoping we can get our shit together to release the following first though.

• The East Tennessee noise compilation is STILL happening. We had some major issues with our printer, but now everything is OK. Looking at a March release (hopefully)

• Next  we are very pleased to announce that we will be handling the US pressing of the debut album by Australia's LOOMER. When I first head their album "Ceiling" I was blown away! I could hear elements of bands such as Sonic Youth, Unwound, and Loop, just to name a few. Loomer is by no means just a mix and match of influences. They definitely have their own thing going for them. We are working on the layout for the cassette version now and hope to have it at the plant ASAP. These will be pro pressed and limited to 100 (as most of our stuff is).

•  Also coming up is the cassette version of the new SHADOW OF THE DESTROYER lp.This will be our first Black Metal release since the first tape we ever did (for the almighty Argentinum Astrum) and is a co release with our bros at INHERENT RECORDS (who are also doing the LP pressing). I've heard some of the new tracks and they fucking crush! Click the link above to get an example of their older stuff (which also fucking crushes). These will be pro pressed and limited to 100 (as most of our stuff is).

• Also in the works is a cassette only release from Chattanooga's own melodic death titans UNSPOKEN TRIUMPH. This is still in the planning stages, but I've heard some of the new songs live, and they pretty much kick all of the available ass. More info TBA

Besides these, there are others in the works. Everything from Noise to IDM will hopefully brandish the  FAILED RECORDINGS mark of shame by the end of the year. Thanks for all the support so far, hope you are ready for what we have in store!

ETFU Noise Compilation UPDATE!

Just wanted to update y'all about the noise cassette compilation we are releasing. Below is a write up I did for it, and contains all pertinent information.

I could write a huge, rambling description of this, but I'll just shoot straight with you all. This comp is made up of 9 acts from the east side of Tennessee. Why make this comp? Well, it seems that a lot of people are pretty unfamiliar with what is coming out of our neck of the woods, and I don't really like that. There are tons of great acts coming out of Knoxville, Chattanooga, the Tri City area and all points in between. Everything from weirdo outsider goodness to the nastiest of power electronics. Here's a list of the acts appearing on the tape.

Mannequin Hollowcaust (Kingsport, TN) http://mannequinhollowcaust.tumblr.com/
Love, Execution Style (Chattanooga, TN) http://www.myspace.com/loveexecutionstyle
Millipede (Chattanooga, TN) http://millipede.bandcamp.com/
Secret Guilt (Chattanooga, TN) http://soundcloud.com/secretguilt
Brain Lesion (Knoxville, TN) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRbCScLx ... e=youtu.be
Cult Of The Dead Wizard (Chattanooga, TN) no known web presence
Neon Viking Funeral (Chattanooga, TN) http://soundcloud.com/failedrecordings/ ... ng-funeral
Kaontrol Kontraos (Johnson City, TN) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsRm8cxf16U
Rurnt (Chattanooga, TN) http://www.myspace.com/babylonsisters423 <---old recordings. don't reflect what I'm doing now.

Now the specs on the tape itself. It's a one time run of 100 tapes. Each one will come in a bag with a booklet featuring info on each artist. I have all the tracks, I'm now just waiting on the artwork (which is pretty close to being complete).

OUT NOW! Kingdom Of Sharks "Sulfer Springs" C-20

 I first learned of Kingdom Of Sharks (aka Christopher Feltner) when I played a show with him in Johnson City. I knew halfway through his set that I wanted to release something of KoS. Finally, that release has arrived.  Using found sounds, field recordings and good ol' fashioned harsh as fuck noise, KoS takes the listener on an ugly voyage full of loss and despair. "Sulfer Springs" isn't some hippie noise jam session, it is a complete work for our future Armageddon.

 This cassette is limited to 30 copies. Each is hand dubbed and framed by beautiful artwork courtesy of Mr. Feltner. These are available for $5ppd/US $7ppd/world via Failed Recordings Webshop. Speaking of links...
