Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean – 2 LP and 3 CDs Reissues and First Time Formats

We are happy and proud to announce that our friends in Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean have entrusted us to release more of their music for them. Over the years their musical output has become more and more sought after especially off the back of successful recent tour stints with Sumac and Dragged into Sunlight as well as a spot on the Maryland Death Fest 2025 lineup.

Available in our brick & mortar store in person or online at https://chainedtothebottomoftheocean.bandcamp.com/ .

Today – Friday, August 1st, we are releasing a slew of represses and some for the first time on their given format (2 EPs on a single LP for the first time and CDs previously not available except on tape and/or vinyl).

Included in this campaign of releases are:

    • [RSR058]Sisyphean Cruelty CDs x100 (Repress of previously sold out run) The initial run of CDs sold out quickly and we’re happy to press more.

    • [RSR038]Obsession | Destruction CDs x100 (First Time On CD) When we first released this we heard from some fans that we should have released it on CD as well. It took us some time, but here it finally is!
• [RSR038]Obsession | Destruction LPs x300 (Coke Bottle Clear with Multi-Color Splatter; repress of previously sold out run) The original run is now long out of print and we’re happy to offer a new color variant for this absolute crusher of a record with art by the since deceased and absolute wizard of paint Mariusz Lewandowski.
• [RSR025]The Vestige CDs x100 (First Time On CD) Chained’s early output was pressed in very short quantity and became quickly sought after. We approached them about releasing it as a collection and the Vestige was brought into existence. It collected their first LP and 2 EPs (Decay And Other Hopes Against Progress & I Carry My Awareness Of Defeat Like A Banner Of Victory & Tell Me What You See Vanishing And I Will Tell You Who You Are) onto Double-LP and cassette tape editions that have long since sold out. We now offer it up on one convenient CD.
• [RSR063]Consumed by the Vitriol of Life / I Tried Catching You But You Fell Through Me LPs x300 (2 previously released separate single sided 12” EPs – both now sold out; Releasing as a single LP with each on either side; Cover Matching Splatter Vinyl)

All CDs are professionally duplicated (not CDrs) by Duplication.com and the LPs have been pressed with the utmost precision, craft (we generally let them run wild with colors) and care by Burlington Record Pressing.

RSR PC 092 Newandyke – Anthony & Donovan

Anthony and Donovan from recently reformed Myspace era screamo-grind band Newandyke join us on this episode.  We talk about the different eras of Newandyke that came with each small line-up change to what became a current grind-math-deathcore band. We talk about what they’ve each been doing musically in the interim before reforming.

NEWANDYKE LINKS

We talk about how they hooked up with the labels they’re releasing the archival release and new EP (out soon! August 8th, 2025). We talk about early shows (including some early Manic Productions shows) and possible future shows! We start with what we’re listening to as usual and we talk about stuff veering off from there of course.
