BUZZOVEN  Revelation: Sick Again  LP   (Sounds Of The South)   11.98
Revelation: Sick Again IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR ORDER

OK, gonna make this fast as we only have 8 COPIES of this ultra-limited pressing of the troubled final release from the legendary Buzzoven, and I am not

expecting these to last very long. I still can't even believe that I was able to find these! Released on a label called Sounds Of The South, this is a

limited edition pressing of the last Buzzoven album ever recorded...it's just shy of half an hour long, but man does this RULE, a raw, snarling attack from

the hatesludge masters that rips offa the turntable like a pack of starving junkies.

Revelation: Sick Again was recorded sometime around 2000 by Billy Anderson, with the Kirk/DIxie Dave/Ramset lineup of Buzzoven...I'm not too sure

about the details on this as info on this is sorta hard to come by; the album was slated to be released by Hydra Head years ago, but apparently a label that

Buzzoven had worked with in the past threatened Hydra Head with legal action if they released Revelation: Sick Again, so this music has been

floating around in limbo for years, being traded between hardcore Buzzoven fanatics. This is crucial Buzzoven, eight jams of grisly, noisy sludgepunk, equal

parts Black Flag, Black Sabbath, a nasty case of laryngitis, and piles of pills, with the songs "Never, Never Again", "Fast", "Kakkila", "V So", "Live",

"Junkie", "Lose", "Porch Monkey", and "Drying Out". All splattered with soundbites and fucking nasty feedback, with that swampy swagger that their

brethren in Eyehategod have, but Buzzoven might be even more diseased and gnarly sounding. Might be due to the raw as fuck recording here, but it sounds

completely brutal, and anyone that's followed Buzzoven since their early releases know that these guys are totally for real, total nihilist drug fiends with

riffs that can kill squares on sight. The center label itself states �All words and lyrics are merely thoughts and ramblings during periods of frustration,

depression, hopelessness, drug induced misery and confusion, and like always are subject to change anytime without notice.� The record comes in a stark white

sleeve that has been hand screened with artwork from Arik Roper, who has handled the art duties for pretty much all of the Buzzoven records as well as

Dixie's post-Buzzoven outfit Weedeater. At this point it's doubtful that the official Hydra Head release of Revelation: Sick Again will ever see the

light of day, so if you're a Buzzoven fan like us and haven't picked up this gnarly final fix from the kings of bilious Southern sludge fuckdom, here's yer

chance! Only 500 were pressed according to my sources. On black vinyl.
