POISONED MIND RECORDS Prepares to Unleash the Analog Beast with a Limited Edition 7 Inch Featuring the Original Score from the Chester N. Turner SOV Brain-Bender BLACK DEVIL DOLL FROM HELL!!
The swirled out, skulltastic logo for Poisoned Mind Records. Dig that Groovy Dance of Death, mang.
LM: What was the impetus to start up POISONED MIND? Did you have any production experience, or just wanted to do something awesome? MP: We pretty much just wanted to do something awesome. The whole idea for the label was basically born out of Tom and I drinking adult beverages at Cinema Wasteland, wandering around the Super 8, and talking about all the awesome music out there that deserved the analog treatment.
The standard sleeve for the upcoming 7" with stunning artwork from the mighty SHAGRAT! TOUNGIN' IT!
How did you get hooked up with doing the BLACK DEVIL DOLL FROM HELL soundtrack? Why'd you go for it? Obviously Louis
A look at the swirled up limited edition sleeve for the BDDfH release. Still TOUNGIN' IT.
What's going to be on the record? The full soundtrack, or...? Can you give us the specs on it, e.g. the run number, colors, etc.? Yesssiiirr, the whole soundtrack! At least the whole original soundtrack… the metal songs that were added in later by the distribution company
Some super sticky-icky pins that'll come with the "Yell Your Own Name" Edition. 2" old-school square boys? Yes, please.
The artwork looks killer. It's done by Shagrat (of Acid Witch fame), right? How'd you guys get hooked up with him? Yeah, man, Shagrat absolutely killed it! Again, we have Louis to thank for that… he's known the Acid Witch dudes for a while and he pretty much just let him (Shagrat) know what we were doing and the rest is VHSTORY!
WHAT?!! I SAID WHAT?! A Black Devil Doll from Hell HAND PUPPET?! That's right, and it'll be included with the YYON edition. This is the coolest thing on the planet.
When's this bad boy dropping, and where can we pick it up? Right now, we're looking at the last week of December or the first week of January. The best way to keep up to date is by checking out our Facebook page or following us on Instagram @poisonedmindrecords - Once the record drops it will be available via our Bigcartel store.
A look at the labels for the release. Each B-Side will correspond with the vinyl cover. Awesome attention to detail? Check.
What's next for you dudes? Well, right now we are working with some super gnarly dudes outta Texas called CRYPT TRIP. They are a big pile of doomy, Sabbathy awesomeness. We are hoping to have that EP out by spring time. After that, we've got a few other projects in the works that I think the Videovores will enjoy quite a bit!
The Eye of Doom sees YOUUUUU. Get stoked for a smoky, swirly CRYPT TRIP, mang.
Anything else you want to say to all the physical media junkies out there? First and foremost, I want to thank everyone who’s shown their support thus far. We haven’t even put our first record yet and the response so far has been mind-blowing! And I also want to remind everyone to watch tapes, listen to records and be excellent to each other.Well said, Mike, my friend, well said! That’s a one, two, three punch to life perfection if I ever heard one… but, hey, don’t take my word for it. LIVE IT, BROTHERRRR! Ultra-Mega-Bitchin’ Big Ups to my analog brethren Mike and Tom for taking a dream making it happen, man. It’s that kind of distinct DIY attitude that will keep these kinds of obscure amazements alive for years and years to come. And that’s pretty groovy. And, dizamn, don’t forget to follow these dudes on the Instagrams @poisonedmindrecords for some analog-oriented images and groove on over their Facebook digs to give 'em some love and stay updated on all the PMR awesomeness to unfold. Sharpen those record needles and set that speed at 45, Tapeheads. Come the next couple weeks, the BLACK DEVIL DOLL FROM HELL is about to be tellin’ your turntable to WAKE UP, BITCH!!
Groove and Groove and Yell Your Own Name.
