Breach 7xLP Box Set

Well, the last entry is five years old and I really don't know where to start here (again). I can't really remember or find it in the papers, when we (Pierre and me) started to talk about and plan a box set, but I guess it must have been around 2015. Since I was always left with 50+ records of each release with a damaged or without a cover, we knew we had to do something. No one of us thought it would take long, but life isn't always easy.

So here we go: The box set features the Breach releases 'It's me god', 'Venom', 'Godbox' and 'Kollapse'. Every record comes in a silver ink handscreened LP cover with different cover artwork and is housed together in a handmade collectors box. Each one of the 50 copies comes with an original 'Godhead' drawing of Pierre Johansson, well-placed in an offset printed inlaysheet with all the other godheads. As always everything is designed by Pierre aswell. Each Box Set copy is handnumbered and personalized and will be shipped insured and with tracking.

Please remind, that this whole thing took a long time, was done almost entirely by hand and is a piece of dedication.

If this is sold out, it will be sold out. One copy per person. I will not take any reservations or answer messages. Thanks for understanding.
Ordered and paid copies will be shipped mid of january.

btw: Since it's 2017 and soon it will be 2018... I made an instagram account, if you are into that.
Maybe I tell a story from time to time or maybe not. An easy url: instagram.com/apocaplexy

Breach - It's me god 2xLP

It's me god

The circle is now completed: Apocaplexy lastly releases Breach's 2nd full length 'It's me god' (1997) on vinyl. The one where the magic started to happen. I still know the moment when I discovered Breach: At a certain time, I began to check out some samplers to discover some "new" bands, and at some point, I was listening to that 'Cheap Shots III' Sampler of Burning Heart. My lameness got immediately healed, when 'Replenish The Empty' started to play. I felt like I found a diamond in the mud, a beast within a big bunch of Melodypunk, for which Burning Heart mostly stood for.
I fell in love with that band this very second.

Like 'Venom', 'It's me god' will be availabe again on vinyl for the first time within 17 years (the edition on Trust No One Recordings came out 1999). Again licensed by Epitaph Europe, remastered by Karl Daniel Lidén, cut on 45rpm, pressed on 180g vinyl and with a newly designed LP artwork by Pierre Johansson, which is printed full colour, silver ink & UV spot lacquer on heavy gatefold jackets.

According to the bands wish, there will be no further re-releases. No use in asking for 'Friction', 'Outlines', 'EP Collection' or something else.
Thank you.

Terra Tenebrosa - The Purging 2xLP Reissue

I repressed 'The Purging' of Terra Tenebrosa, but to be correct: it's actually a reissue. Like I did it with Kollapse, I switched the pressing plant with this record, but somehow the plates got lost and the beast needed a new cut.
15 Testpressing have been made and their covers need some time, you know the deal. But anyway, again 500 copies on black vinyl available now.

Breach - Venom 2xLP Testpress

I owe Pierre Johansson a life for all the Breach, the Terra Tenebrosa V.I.T.R.I.O.L. and the Planks/Lentic Waters Split designs. The Venom 2xLP testpress comes around with another awesome design, 3 coloured, handscreened handmade covers.

Breach - Kollapse 2xLP Repress Testpress

Since I had to switch pressing plants for the repress of Breach - Kollapse 2xLP, I was in need to do new testpressings and here we go w/ the special covers (handscreened on 450g cardboard) for them. I'm quite slow nowadays, but that's okay.

Breach - Venom 2xLP

Venom

The circle is nearly complete: Apocaplexy lastly releases Breach's infamous album 'Venom' on vinyl. Originally released by longtime conspirators Burning Heart closely prior the new millennium it is probably the bands most well received work. Through a connection to Neurosis it even saw a US licensing by Relapse Records. This deal wasn't built to endure for a long period. About the time Relapse started to show bigger interest in working closely with Breach, the band and it’s internal relations started to deteriorate.

'Venom' was the breaking point for Breach. The steps away from the classical hardcore into a heavier, darker and more complex approach were taken slowly but steady – 'Venom' was the defining moment for what this band was capable of and what made them so unique. The heavy riffing, meditative and almost tribal rhythms, the overall claustrophobic atmosphere alongside the trademark vocals and apocalyptic lyrics made this record one of a kind. This record even brought a full-on music video in form of the instrumental 'Diablo' with airplay on global music programs. Still Breach unfortunately only made a small impact in the overall picture of heavy music, only gaining a small circle of loyal fans. Over the years this group of loyal admirers grew in numbers and Breach's influence on contemporary heavy music is unmistakable – and 'Venom' was the main reason for this.

Now for the first time in years the record will be available on vinyl again. After bringing 'Godbox' and 'Kollapse' to vinyl, Apocaplexy is proud to announce the second coming of 'Venom' in it’s full glory, licensed by Epitaph Europe, remastered by Karl Daniel Lidén, cut on 45rpm, pressed on 180g vinyl and with a newly designed LP artwork by Pierre Johansson, which is printed full colour & Pantone on heavy gatefold jackets.

Breach - Kollapse 2xLP

Kollapse

After 12 years of the original release and 2 years of several tries, tons of emails and hours on the phone, Apocaplexy Records is proud to finally announce the vinyl edition of a true masterpiece, an enormous milestone of an album. Licensed by Epitaph Europe for a one time press of just 500 copies. At the moment it is totally unsure, if there will be a chance for a repress at some point.

The 180g records will contain the 11 original tracks cut on 45rpm, remastered from the old tapes by Karl Daniel Lidén and a previously unreleased track called Empty Hand, which was found during the process of remastering. Artwork was done again by long term Breach designer Pierre Johansson and is printed with silver ink & UV lacquer on 350g heavy gatefold jackets.

Terra Tenebrosa - The Purging 2xLP out now!

The Terra Tenebrosa - The Purging 2xLPs arrived finally from the pressing plant and they look awesome! Every paid order is already in the mail.

Terra Tenebrosa & Trust No One Recordings will have their copies in early april.

Thank you (for your orders and especially your patience).

Terra Tenebrosa shipping

It seems like that pressing a record as a little DIY label in the first months of the year will be a huge pain in the ass in the upcoming years. The pressing plants are stucked with orders of major labels for the upcoming Record Store Day and sets the small labels on lowest priority. That's it.

In the end: We expect the Terra Tenebrosa - The Purging DLPs at end of march and they will be shipped at the end of march. Trust No One Recordings will have their copies early april.

Thanks to everybody, who ordered a copy!

preorder: Terra Tenebrosa - The Purging DLP

Finally! Terra Tenebrosa - The Purging 2xLP is now up for preorder.

Terra Tenebrosa returns with a strong follow-up to their critically acclaimed and Manifest Award nominated album from 2011, The Tunnels. The Purging continues where The Tunnels left off. The album takes the listener on an even more dynamic and ominous voyage through the dark mind and psyche of Terra Tenebrosa monarch, The Cuckoo.

This record will be released in co-operation with Trust No One Recordings out of Sweden. We strongly suggest that european customers order from Apocaplexy and swedish customers order from Trust No One.

European customers ordering from Trust No One will end up paying more than twice the price because shipping from Sweden to Germany/Europe is ridicilously expensive.

Terra Tenebrosa preorder

For those of you who are anxious to pre-order the LP version of the upcoming Terra Tenebrosa album:

"The first testpresses were not approved by either the band or the labels as we felt that they were not up to par with the standard in which Terra Tenebrosa's music should be present.
New testpresses are being cut right now and as soon as they have been approved, and we have a date of delivery, pre-orders will be taken. We really hope the vinyl will be here in time for the show on the 22nd of February."

.

up next: Terra Tenebrosa - The Purging DLP

Next year the new Terra Tenebrosa full length entitled "The Purging" will see the light of day as DLP via Apocaplexy Records & Trust No One Recordings from the grim north.



Preorders will pop up in january, releasedate is set to February, 22nd 2013.
