TAIGA 15 - Lotus Eaters Wurmwulv 2xLP is available to order now & will begin shipping next week, around March 22. The vinyl has arrived but the Stoughton tip-on gatefold jackets are still being manufactured. There were 100 transparent cola bottle green, 300 opaque metallic silver & 600 black pressed, all on 200g virgin vinyl.

Wurmwulv follows the 2009 vinyl issue of Lotus Eaters Mind Control for Infants in spirit & form. Rearranged, remixed & remastered by James Plotkin, the Wurmwulv 2xLP also includes material from Lotus Eaters self-titled Drone Records 7-inch for an altogether new experience. Wurmwulv was direct metal mastered onto 3 sides & pressed on 200g virgin vinyl with a D-side etching by Aaron Turner. More Turner drawings are included within the Stoughton tip-on gatefold jacket designed by Stephen O'Malley featuring spot varnish, flooded pockets and gorgeous Stephen Kasner cover paintings printed on linen-textured paper.

To all our fans, followers & friends in Japan and the pacific we wish you the best and hope you are all ok with minimal damage and interruption in your lives! 

Our friend Tadashi/Daymare told us that Melvins were apparently soundchecking in Tokyo when the earthquake struck! All of the bands are ok (tour was with High on Fire and Unearthly Trance) but Dale hurt his finger in the evacuation. Quake #2 in one tour... insane! Japan earthquake was apparently 8000 times stronger than Christchurch, and tragic as well.

And FYI: Boris people are all ok.

We just keep hearing more distressing news hour by hour.

Wishing all the Japanese the best!
