In a small, secluded mining town in rural South Africa, three friends heard the call of the void, and spat fuzz back at it. Thus, Ruff Majik was born, and the adventure of sex, drugs and mostly rock'n'roll began. Ruff Majik set sail to Pretoria, South Africa, where they've become infamous for their lively shows and aggressive on stage persona. With their brand of what they call "stoner rock/sludge'n'roll" they move between slow grooves and breakneck speeds in the blink of an eye, with live shows being described as "whiplash inducing". Consisting of three members, Johni Holiday, Jimmy Glass and Ben Manchino make up The Atomic Trinity, the relentless noise machine that is Ruff Majik (blessed be the name). www.shinybeast.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LBR 025 DO ASTRAL DEATH CULT LP 10.2019 Dö is a riff-praising, cosmos-worshipping trio from Helsinki, Finland. This vicious death cult lead by Big Dog (guitar), Joe E. Deliverance (drums) and Deaf Hank (vox & bass) feeds on dark astral energy and compresses it into what they call "doomer" - a unique northern mix of stoner, doom, sludge, and psychedelic elements with hints of death/black metal. 'Astral Death Cult' is Dö's second LP. Just like the previous productions, drums, guitar and bass for were recorded live to get the genuine trio dynamics on each track. The result is an album that collides earthy northern tones, riffs heavy as a neutron star and lyrics that praise the great cosmic forces. www.shinybeast.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LBR 026 ONHOU ENDLING LP 11.2019 Onhou is a Dutch sludge/doom metal band formed in Groningen, consisting of (ex)members from Ortega, Grinding Halt and Wolvon. The four piece scrutinizes dark territories, devising an immense sound utilizing two vocalists, downtuned guitars and pulsating electronic elements. These bleak atmospheres serve to shape a dismal and forsaken uneasiness. After a well received EP released by Tartarus Records in 2018, Onhou returned to the studio to record their first full-length titled 'Endling', on which they are expanding on the hopelessness of their arduous sound, fighting against the inevitable. 'Endling' will find you dragged into discomfort with ONHOU's bulking riffs, dark electronics and thundering rhythms. One can try to find reason or refuge, waging a war with all of your might while it burns the heart out of you. But one will only find loss, without a trace of existence. There is no legacy. There will be no judgment. This is 'Endling'. www.shinybeast.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LBR 027 ROSY FINCH SCARLET LP 03.2020 'Scarlet' is the 2020 album from Spanish sludge rock trio Rosy Finch. Their take on the stoner genre is a furious and eclectic blend of influences ranging from Sonic Youth to the Melvins, showcasing brooding and atmospheric vocals laced with insidious and heavy riffs. Rosy Finch breaks out of the mould and take the listeners on a completely different path than the one usually expected from a band of this genre. www.shinybeast.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LBR 028 FRAYLE 1692 LP 02.2020 LBR 028 FRAYLE 1692 CD 02.2020 The group was formed in 2017 by guitarist Sean Bilovecky (formerly of now defunct Man's Ruin recording artists Disengage) and vocalist Gwyn Strang , a singer with an alluring voice and an equally compelling flair for imagery. www.shinybeast.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LBR 029 RRRAGS HIGH PROTEIN LP 09.2020 Repress of 250 copies on black vinyl.

They had their live debut at Roadburn 2018, presenting their first record which contains six resonating, heavy rock songs. Over the following year, RRRags built up a strong live reputation with their jam infused but songbased performances, culminating in two well received Belgian support shows with Monster Magnet. RRRags' groundwork is based on bands like Grand Funk Railroad, Budgie and Blue Cheer, with a personal signature of a hard driving sound, soulful vocals, rumbling instrumentation and strong melodies. Their second album is masterfully produced from start to finish by Marcel Van De Vondervoort (Astrosoniq, Roadburn). www.shinybeast.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LBR 030 ATLANTA NUGRYBAUTI LP 07.2020 Atlanta is an instrumental jam band from the Netherlands consisting of drummer Bob Hogenelst (Birth Of Joy/Molasses), bassguitarist Sebas van Olst (Typhoon/Cool Genius) and guitarist Pieter Holkenborg (Automatic Sam/Ten East).

Their large record collection, got him hooked on a wide range of music . Early '90s the big city called and introduced Pieter to new music and horizons. At the age of 15, he started touring in various punk and hardcore bands across the globe. Long drives in shitty vans to play in squats in faraway countries was a reality check and shaped character. Years of touring the world were followed by a move to Eindhoven that culminated in 2015 in setting up a home studio. Here he started recording songs by himself. Pieter is a musical solitudinarian who has enough gumption to leave the commonplace behind and only take with him what can enrich his music and performance. There is a certain weight of tragedy in his music. His gravelly voice possesses sometimes an uneasy moodiness that reflects doom and despair. It immerses you in the dark side of life. Then, amidst this darkness Soothsayer compositions shift to new found hope. Warm and flowing, creating a longing, yet bold mood. Especially in a live performance, with the backing of a band who got their routine down, Pieter Hendriks' songs come to peak dramatically. For self titled debut album, most lyrics and song ideas were written in an old caravan in the middle of the dark forest of the Eifel in Germany. Pieter isolated himself there without a phone and TV. Just loneliness and silence to focus on his music. All these roads resulted in this self titled Soothsayer Orchestra debut album, released by Lay Bare Recordings. Dark Americana, folk noir and apocalyptic blues for fans of Wovenhand, Mark Lanegan and Nick Cave. Limited to 250 copies. www.shinybeast.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LBR 036 CARLTON MELTON : LIVE IN POINT ARENA 07-18-2008 2LP 12.2021 'Live In Point Arena' was recorded during a full moon on the evening of July 18th, 2008. It wasn't a live show but more a gathering of friends and folks to play some head music at Brian's home which happened to be a geodesic dome and ideal for those types of sounds. Includes 5 bonus tracks. Originally released on CDr only in 2008. Comes on bone with blue a-/b-side and olive green splatter. www.shinybeast.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =======================================================================================
