DOPE PURPLE 'CHILDREN IN THE DARKNESS' LP OUT JUNE 13TH
PRE ORDER VIA THE WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE Taipei City's Dope Purple return to Riot Season (once again in conjunction with WV Sorcerer Productions) for their third, or fourth (depending on how you count) album 'Children In The Darkness' and it's another beauty! The album is a ferocious space psychedelic rock, no starlight, no glamourous psychedelic paradise, just a meditative journey of infinite darkness and ear-splitting tinnitus. Unlike our last album, I didn't have a specific theme or idea for this album, however I named it 'Children In The Darkness' because all the songs on this album share the same lonely, disorientating chaos that reminds me of children forgotten in the darkness, and Dope Purple has always been a messenger for those children, playing sedative music for their ghosts. CHECK OUT THE WHOLE OF SIDE ONE, 'NEW PSYCHE & BEYOND THE BODY' NOW
IVAN THE TOLERABLE 'AN ORPHAN FORM' LP OUT MAY 30TH
ORDER VIA THE WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE It's a warm and sunny day here in the Black Country, and i'm delighted to announce IVAN THE TOLERABLE returns to the Riot Season fold after his two sold out albums (Vertigo & Water Music) last year, with another killer release, 'An Orphan Form' Unlike last years albums, this one contains just two pieces, but they're both very LONG and utterly gorgeous The LP is limited to 300 copies. and they're pressed on crystal clear vinyl with a purple blob and black splatter to compliment the equally beautiful artwork "With ‘An Orphan Form’, Ivan The Tolerable returns with a beautifully strange and immersive suite that feels both otherworldly and rooted in something organic. Drawing on kosmische drift, loose-limbed jazz, and warped psychedelic textures, the record moves like a half-remembered dream. Field recordings and nature sounds weave in and out, grounding the swirling synths and off-kilter rhythms in real earth and air. It's a record that doesn’t follow a straight line, but instead wanders, curious, alive, and quietly spellbinding."
CHECK OUT THE SIXTEEN MINUTE 'CUT PALE WHITE LINE'
OVER-GAIN OPTIMAL DEATH 'DIE UNDERGROUND' LP OUT NOW
ORDER VIA THE WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE The LP comes pressed on molten red vinyl and it's a RAGER! OGOD’s Die Underground, an ethos and curse, breaks the 4th wall through psychedelia’s dark side. A critique and embrace of self-destruction, esoteric vanity and inevitable ruin. The molten-red LP on Riot Season Records plunges deep into an abuse of distortion, existential doom and primal Stooge-like chaos. LA.’s Acid Punk Power Trio returns to it's mark 1 lineup, now wielding a second addition in twin-drum assault courtesy of TJ (P.S.F., Deathchant). Jasso (guitar/vocals) is seemingly out for blood on this 4 track studio album, leading a violent dive into the abyss—Japanese Underground fury meets Hendrix’s wreckage, fuzz-drenched wah freak-outs compete against raw punk vocals caught in an endless slapback delay… Die Young, Die Broke. A new mantra for the most depraved connoisseurs of Psychedelic Punk. For fans of Mainliner, Brainbombs, Rallizes, Stooges, Motörhead. "None heard a sound… DIE UNDERGROUND.” CHECK OUT THE TITLE TRACK

FILTHY
REST IN PEACE JIM HANEY (OF PERHAPS)
I’m sad to share the news that our old friend, and musical inspiration, Jim Haney of the very excellent Perhaps has passed away I received the news via a mutual friend at the weekend and was deeply shocked to hear it, as I was only thinking about him and the band last week It’s very common to not hear from people/bands for long periods of time doing this job, I don’t like to bug people and I always assume they’ll get back in contact when there’s something to tell or share with me, that’s just the way it’s always been in my little label world Jim lived across the pond in the US of course, which doesn’t make chatting that easy either. That all said, it had been a fairly long period of time since I last heard from him and maybe with hindsight, I could’ve just fired off an email and asked how he was doing I’m told by his Perhaps band mate Sean, that Jim had a nasty fall which resulted in irreversible and very serious brain injuries. This led to his poor family having to make the heartbreaking decision to let him go. Which must have been an agonising decision for all What shall we remember Jim for? Some incredible music for sure. Perhaps wise I released three and a half albums over the years, starting with ‘V’ in 2017, ‘Hexagon’ in 2018, ‘7.0’ in 2020 and the ‘In Search Of Highs Volume 4’ split album with Jimmy’s heroes Acid Mothers Temple being the last in 2021 Each one of those albums is a very unique thing, because to my ears at least, Perhaps didn’t sound like any other band. They really had a very weird and unique way of making music On top of the three albums, two of them also came with companion ‘redux’ albums, which were also completely out-there creations in their own right I urge you to check em all out if you can find the time via the bands own Bandcamp page PERHAPS ON BANDCAMP
You can also check out the four albums they released before I got involved in the journey too I’ve just realised I don’t even know how old Jimmy was, but I got the impression he can’t have been that old which makes all the sadder (edit: he would’ve been 33 on December 28th) If you were already a fan of the band, I suggest you dig out whatever Perhaps records/downloads you have and give em a listen over the next days/weeks, and raise a glass to a very talented fellow And if you haven’t discovered them yet, give em a try The good thing about music is, it never dies. It’s out there FOREVER keeping the memories alive of those who graced us with it’s presence To Jim’s band mates, family and friends I send my condolences And to Jim himself, farewell fella, and thanks for all the music mate Andy x

ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE ' MANTRA OF LOVE' & ' STARLESS AND BIBLE BLACK SABBATH' LP'S OUT NOW
ORDER VIA THE WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE Back in 2022 i decided it was about time I released some of the earlier Acid Mothers Temple releases i'd previously only put out on CD, on vinyl for the first time. And that's exactly what we did. Three albums, released as 'Vinyl Archives Volume 1' with an optional box set to house all three which came with the third and final release in the first volume 'Pink Lady Lemonade - You're From Outer Space' Vinyl 2xLP (REPOSELP102) 'Myth Of The Love Electrique' Vinyl 2xLP (REPOSELP111) 'Acid Motherly Love' Vinyl 2xLP (REPOSELP110) They all sold out and so, it's about time we got on with some more Delighted to say, the first two releases in the second volume are now ready to go! 'Mantra Of Love’ (REPOSELP138) There are two variants of this release. There's a cream/bone coloured vinyl LP which will be available from shops/distros worldwide. And a label exclusive variant which is pressed on 'glass clear' vinyl, with cream and brown splatter effect
'Starless And Bible Black Sabbath' (REPOSELP139) There are two variants of this release. There's a olive green coloured vinyl LP which will be available from shops/distros worldwide. And a label exclusive variant which is pressed on 'glass clear' vinyl, with blood orange and olive green splatter effect
Both of these titles have been rearranged/edited for vinyl by Makoto Kawabata himself, and remastered by John McBain, and they sound, and look gorgeous! What's more, the sleeves both have a leather effect varnish on them to give them a bit of phwooar factor. As always, i'm trying to make sure they're worth your hard earned coin. There will be others in the Vinyl Archives Volume 2, and once we're at the last one the optional box to fit them all in will roll around once again. But that's some way off yet so let's not worry about that now. Grab em now! DOPE PURPLE 'GRATEFUL END' CD REISSUE OUT NOW
ORDER VIA THE WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE After two sold out vinyl pressings, we (Riot Season & WV Sorcerer Productions) have decided to reissue Dope Purple's classic debut album 'Grateful End' on CD To give it a bit of extra pizzazz, it comes packed in a six panel 7" sized fold out sleeve, with an Obi strip. There's also an extra special edition which comes with a Dope Purple engraved USB 'necklace' which contains a film/documentary shot in Taiwan
NOLLA 'AVARUUSMIELI' & 'GRANIITTISUTRA' OUT NOW
ORDER VIA THE WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE Introducing Nolla October will see the release of not one, but two albums by Finnish space rockers Nolla Nolla are probably better known as 4/5 of the mighty Kaliyuga Express, but these experienced musicians started playing together as Nolla around 2019. The plan was simply to play a driving, motorik style of "no bs" spacerock/krautrock. A kind of space rock that simply does what it says on the tin. After their debut LP on Spiral Void Records in 2021, they immediately started working on new material, and the results are finally here. Even though the music may paint dystopian views of empty cities of glass & steel, devoid of anything human, and travels deep into the black, icy coldness of space, the throbbing pulse under it all is always a warm, loving heart, which is also always the source of their music. Both these albums, Graniittisutra and it's companion album Avaruusmieli are being co released between Riot Season (UK/EU) and Echodelick Records (US) And both will be up for grabs this Bandcamp Friday (October 4th) at 10am UK time Both these albums are pressed on 'eco black' vinyl and housed in matt finished sleeves with double sided card inserts They look as good as they sound. Killer band! You can check out a song from each via the label YouTube channel, links below
HOLLOW EYES 'SO MANY EASY WAYS TO PAY' LP OUT NOW
ORDER VIA THE WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE Introducing Hollow Eyes October sees the release of the debut album by UK underground supergroup Hollow Eyes, a quartet, made up of members from Terminal Cheesecake, Luminous Bodies, Melting Hand, BONG, Bruxa Maria, Drunk In Hell, Modoki, Head Of David, Blown Out & Gruel A glorious, chaotic mix of heavy noise rock, punk, garage dirge and psychedelia, constructed over time in France, Birmingham & Newcastle Casual abuse of homemade, modded pedals and destroyed guitars Includes a ruined cover of ’Speed’ by Headstone II, R.Gersbacher & D.Bombard Limited 300 only purple vinyl LP. Housed in a gloss finished outer sleeve, with black polylined inner bag
LOUSE 'CREEP CALL' LP OUT NOW
ORDER VIA THE WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE Delighted to announce RS will be releasing 'Creep Call', the debut album from Northern noise crankers LOUSE on October 4th The limited transparent red LP will be up for pre order on September 6th, and if you want a taster head over to the Sleeping Shaman website here and watch the promo video for first track to be shared 'You Don't Eat The Bull' LOUSE: purveyors of the finest cellar-dweller scum rock since 2020; a disgusting cocktail comprised of 4 parts Foot Hair (Box Records) and 2 parts The Shits (Rocket Recordings), served over a capsized cruise-liner. Described as wielding "damp and sticky instruments", being "rotten from the inside" and sonically "stinking drunk, shirtless with no shoes, crawling around in your head", LOUSE gleefully pummel one riff into oblivion, deranged howls & punishing buzzsaw guitars growl over driving disco beats and slide bass. A carnival in an open sewer. Creep Call - LOUSE's debut LP, after various tapes, live recordings and a split 10" lathe cut with The Shits - is a true statement of intent. Presented by the magnificent Riot Season, the record is the result of a (wasted) life's work honing and toning the platonic ideal of single-riff noise rock, all wrapped up in a grindhouse, Giallo-flick package. Briefly elevated from the basement, Creep Call was recorded with James Atkinson at The Station House Studio in 2023 and mastered by S. Bishop, so the carnage has never sounded better. Perfectly balanced ugliness drenched in feedback, pumped up with Stooges keys and sax (honk honk) - the closest thing to experiencing the deafening, goofy, beer-soaked-undergarment chaos of a LOUSE show first hand. Creep Call features wholesome ruminations on perpetual home invasion, road-side pornography addiction, perfecting a cannibalistic diet, and an unmistakable cowboy/line-dancing anthem. Do the wrong thing, and answer the call. CHECK OUT THE 'YOU DON'T EAT THE BULL' VIDEO
IVAN THE TOLERABLE QUINTET 'WATER MUSIC' LP OUT NOW
ORDER VIA THE WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE As promised There's a second Ivan The Tolerable Quintet album imminent, and here's the first track to be shared from it 'Floating Palm' is taken from the album 'Water Music', which will be in shops/distros from August 30th. Pre order will begin this Friday at 10am UK time for those up for it Limited edition 300 only deep yellow coloured vinyl LP, housed in a reverse board sleeve, with hype sticker, polylined inner bag and download code. Stars align and Oli Heffernan brings his ever-(d)evolving Ivan The Tolerable to Riot Season for two LPs of sublime entropic drift. Having this time recruited Christian Alderson (The Unit Ama) on drums, John Pope (Ponyland) on double bass, Kevin Nickles (Ecstatic Vision) on flute and saxophone and Ben Hopkinson on electric paino - both works were recorded as a quintet almost instantaneously, the players barely brushing or breathing a note before the whole thing was done. Whereas the first LP, Vertigo, was all claustrophobic, dense and disorientating - like Sun Ra sitting in with Exploding Star Orchestra This second LP, Water Music, is the music of lapping waves, becalmed, creaking hulls, circling birds and gentle winds. - Equal parts Laraaji and Natural Information Society Bob Fischer (Electronic Sound Magazine) on ‘Water Music’ "A summer's afternoon daydream of an album. Beautifully soothing psychedelic jazz overflowing with raga delights...immerse yourself in its charms" WATCH THE VIDEO FOR ALBUM TRACK 'FLOATING PALM'
KALIYUGA EXPRESS 'OCCULT FUTURE' LP OUT NOW
ORDER VIA THE WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE ATTENTION SPACE CADETS Kaliyuga Express are back with album number two 'Occult Future', the follow up to last years much loved 'Warriors & Masters' debut in August The LP comes pressed on blood orange with red marble coloured vinyl will be going up for pre-order on Friday, July 5th at 10am Mike Vest and Nolla combine their visions once again and explore dark futuristic mindscapes. They set their sights to the looming eons and gaze through an occult lense. Inspired by classic space rock, driving hypnotic krautrock and bleak synth soundscapes. The ground was laid in improvised Nolla sessions and further ascended with gloomy prophecies and lyrical explorations by Ilkka and Otto. With Ohto’s assertive drums and Teemus solid guitars the canvas was set for Mike to paint his transcendent multilayered guitars. Bleak and overbearing sights are explored, but the future holds a speck of hope if you are prepared to embrace the darkness.
For fans of: Hawkwind, Can, Sun Dial, Bevis Frond, Space Rock, Krautrock etc.
IVAN THE TOLERABLE QUINTET 'VERTIGO' LP OUT NOW

'Rum And Coke' comes stumbling out the speakers with the week old stench of an alcoholic exiting his late night hideaway into the sunshine of a new day Rum And Coke is the sound playing inside his fermented brain as he heads of in search of his next tipple It's grimey, it's noisy. It's a bit of a bastard. Heavy, impenetrable layers of gnarled guitars, slurred vocals, pounding drums all wrapped in a blanket of thick sludge ORDER VIA THE WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE WATCH THE VIDEO FOR THE TITLE TRACK

MACHIAVELLIAN ART 'POPULATION CONTROL' LP OUT NOW
ORDER VIA THE WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE The second album by Midlands based Machiavellian Art is nearly upon us. 'Population Control' is it's name, and it's ferocious. WATCH THE VIDEO FOR BURNING MIND
In their own words "It's a year later and everything has gone from bad to worse" And they're not wrong are they? A Sonic Examination of the Mechanisms of Control. An intense exploration of societal and self-imposed controls, encapsulated in a dynamic contrast between Side A's visceral anger and the introspective ambiance of Side B. This duality mirrors the contrasting themes of external control versus internal reflection. "Population Control" extends beyond its predecessor, "Indoctrination Sounds," in both musical depth and thematic scope. The album confronts a broad spectrum of modern-day addictions - not just to substances, but to technology, social media, and the relentless 24-hour news cycle. Full volume recommended.
The LP is pressed on lilac coloured vinyl to compliment the cover artwork.
MAHTI 'MUSIIKKI 3' LP (FEATURING RICHARD DAWSON) OUT NOW

& Digital via Bandcamp Three years on from the bands acclaimed ‘Grateful End’ album, and following up last years reissue of their live release ‘Psychedelic Scum Freaks’. Taipei's underground psych monsters Dope Purple return with their new album proper, ‘This Is The Harsh Trip For New Psyche’ The album is co released again by Riot Season & WV Sorcerer Productions and is available on three vinyl variants, and also digitally. The album, it's a mixture of harsh noise and psych rock, the noise element being well recorded and presented so we can hear many details, and blends perfectly with the other instruments in all frequencies. The whole album moves between a spectral sadness and insanity, each track takes a rather different direction, recognising the influence of Classic Japanese bands such as High Rise, Mainliner, and Les Rallizes Dénudés. The album is a collaboration with Berserk, a young underground pioneer from the Taipei scene, and has been performing chaotic frequency manipulation and carefully textured post-apocalyptic soundscape since 2015. The cover features hand-drawn artwork by Japanese artist ??? Ten Kashiwagi, and the mixing/mastering was taken care of once again by ?? Darklaw from Japan, perfectly capturing the aesthetic and technical aspects of the recording. WATCH THE VIDEO FOR NEVER (SAY) DIE
HIBUSHIBIRE 'MAGICAL METAMORPHOSIS THIRD EYE' LP/CD OUT NOW
Osaka three piece Hibushibire return after a long break, with a new line up and a stunning third album. Following the successes of their debut album 'Freak Out Orgasm!' (2017), the follow up 'Turn On, Tune In, Freak Out' (2019) and two very well received UK tours. The band headed home to Osaka, Japan and then, the pandemic hit. During this downtime, guitarist/vocalist Changchang decided to create a new power trio. Enter Tetsuji Toyoda (Bass/Vocals) & Aoi Hama (Drums/Vocals). The new trio have spent the last three years writing new music, playing live and honing their sound in Japan, and a short well received tour of Taiwan with Riot Season labelmates Dope Purple. And now finally, Hibushibire mark 2 is born properly. "Hibushibire has returned after a change of members. A psychedelic, progressive work, suitable for a new beginning" Entering the studio with Acid Mothers Temple/Mainliner guru Makoto Kawabata in the producer chair once again, the band recorded album number three, 'Magical Metamorphosis Third Eye'. Makoto also adds some of his own trademark guitar howls through out the album, perfectly complimenting Changchang's own growing prowess. Here the band have taken their trademark psych-rock blasts and blended them perfectly with some more trippy, dare I say sweet psychedelic sounds! ORDER VIA THE LABEL WEBSHOP OR BANDCAMP SITE
