Another WAY OUT OF PRINT find, this one from the long-gone Thunder Lizard label from 1997. How do we find this stuff? Released in 1997, this features

two tracks recorded right before the band would deliver their first album for Relapse, Methods For Attaining Extreme Altitudes. "Hemp For Victory"

is one of the band's quintessential pro-dope anthems, a pummeling slo-mo dirge, deep, virtually death-metal style vocals over an endlessly repeating hypno-

riff that later gives way to a ponderous all-crushing Sabbath groove. Slow, relentless, punishing sludgecore. On the flipside, Bongzilla drop "Smoke", a more

psychedelic oozer from the Hawkwind-inspired end of the camp that coats snarling cries of 'Smoke!' in delay and gooey resin and send's em spinning over a

wasted sludge n' drone dirge swirling with film samples, feedback, hammering industrial strength drum workouts and clanging percussion, and droning doom

riffs stretched out to infinity. This, without a doubt, is the single most psychedelic and mind warping piece of music that these guys ever came up with.

The copies of Hemp For Victory that we got are on green vinyl, and have the large center hole (so if you pick this up, make sure you have an

adapter!). We picked up some of the last ever copies of this rare record from someone affiliated with the label, and once these are gone that's gonna be it.
