Customer Highlight — Exit Stencil Recordings / The New Lou Reeds
Check it out — the latest installment from the Cleveland-native imprint, Exit Stencil Recordings: The New Lou Reeds‘ new album entitled Hit Songs….available now at their online store and at select independent retailers nationally!
It features 7 brand spankin new songs, and is ONLY available on vinyl!
Customer Highlight — Cyclopean Records / Slaughter Strike
This is the first [of hopefully many] Cyclopean Records pressed here at GGR — Slaughter Strike‘s new 12″ EP entitled At Life’s End.
Crafted by veterans of the Canadian Death/thrash/grind world, the newest offering since their debut cassette A Litany of Vileness will prove them to be even more of a filthy, priest-stomping monster that wants to devour your being through unrelenting metal. Fans of Bill Steer era Napalm Death, Repulsion, and Discharge will find ’em to be true brethren, and a limited pressing on vinyl means that it would be foolish to pass this one up. (An extremely limited number of colored records were pressed in addition to black).
Pick up a copy at the Cyclopean Records online store!
Customer Highlight — The Artificial Heart
The Artificial Heart, based in Austin, TX, is set to release their new self-titled LP on sexy red vinyl today! You can grab a copy here (pre-orders will get a copy signed by the band!)
The Artificial Heart is the latest in a line of musical endeavors from Rory Allen Phillips, member and songwriter of bands such as The Impossibles, The Stereo and Slowreader (all Fueled By Ramen Alumni) as well as a producer for bands such as Recover, Young Love, The Higher, Name Taken and Soft.
Rory is joined by former Impossible Craig Tweedy on bass (arguably the best bass player on god’s green earth) with Scott Clapsaddle on guitar (your next guitar hero) with ? holding down the backbeat.
Initially entitled ‘Rory and The Artificial Heart’ the band began playing shows in 2006 and continue to bring the rock even when it’s probably not appropriate.

While cleaning out the extruder after running these records we got a lot of red vinyl excess....well, we just couldn't resist making this vinyl artificial heart for the band.
Customer Highlight – Recession Records / S
Recession Records enlisted GGR to press the latest LP by the very talented S (Jenn Ghetto, ex-Carissa’s Wierd), I’m Not As Good At It As You. There were a limited number of test pressings sold at her recent shows, and the final pressing will be available soon via the label’s online store.
Customer Highlight — Bongripper
Bongripper — Satan Worshiping Doom. According to the band, this album sounds like a “thousand tons of bricks”, and is for fans of Sabbath and Satan. You can grab a copy of this DOUBLE LP for yourself here.

This is the first record we pressed for the killer 6131 Records label. Alpha & Omega is currently on tour with Sick Of It All, Trash Talk, and 50 Lions. You can grab a copy of this new LP – Life Swallower at the 6131 Records online store or at select independent retailers across the U.S.
