With a legacy drenched in the blood of aural extremities, they have become the standard-bearers of unyielding sonic warfare, relentless in their pursuit of the darker arts.\nBehold The Wolf and The King, the latest cataclysm to be unleashed by 1349. A tempestuous odyssey through eight tracks of pure, unadulterated black metal, flawlessly showcasing the band's mastery over chaos and carnage. From the voracious onslaught of The God Devourer to the sinister depths of Fatalist, each track is a portal into a realm where shadows reign supreme, and the air is thick with the stench of decay. Ash of Ages blends thrash influences with extreme black metal flourishes, crafting a journey through the heart of darkness, while Shadow Point and Inferior Pathways conjoin to forge an iron spine of classic headbanging riffs and inexorable groove.

The new album is a brutal slab of old school death metal with a contemporary edge. Not for the faint-hearted, Manual Manic Procedures may well be the album that puts classic gore-themed ferocity back into the metal community's collective consciousness.\nSlave to the Scalpel saw 200 Stab Wounds insinuate themselves into the minds of extreme metal fans, leading to praise from Pitchfork for their \"unpretentious brilliance, pitch-black sense of humor\" and an \"aesthetic [that's] built around a chugging, groovy riff that stomps down a path of destruction.\" Manual Manic Procedures sees the band upping the ante both musically and lyrically.\n\"You tour and you grow as a band, and as people,\" says vocalist Steve Buhl. \"We were working on the new album before the first one came out. But as far as sitting down and really putting it all together, we started in late 2022 because we were on tour so much. We signed to Metal Blade, and took a four or five month break. We took everything that we had, and put it all together and then obviously put lots of new stuff in there. And we worked our asses off on it.\"\nThe album's artwork — graphically depicting radical surgery on somebody who may or may not be conscious — is an immediate indicator of what this record is all about. No punches pulled, no holds barred, just blood-soaked death metal.\nThe first single is Manual Manic Procedures' opening track, \"Hands of Eternity.\" Buhl explains that the song is about being trapped in your own mind, something most of us can relate to. \"That song is a good example of where we want to go musically. The heavy riffs are there, but there's still a lot of good melody. It's not just crazy fucking blast beats and, 'riff riff riff.' It's more structured, groovy and melodic, but still heavy. That's one of my favorites.\"\nThe album's penultimate track, \"Ride the Flatline,\" is the second drop before the album releases. It's an Ezra Cook-penned song inspired by a chemical spill in the Ohio River after a train derailed . \"All the crazy chemicals caught fire,\" Buhl said. \"The Ohio River goes into Lake Erie, which is where our water supply is. So the song comes from that really. But obviously, we put a little bit of animation into it, with someone getting run over by a train in the process and fucking exploding and shit.\"\nAnother standout aural atrocity is \"Gross Abuse,\" which Buhl describes as a \"basic death metal torture song. That song is so simple, heavy and groovy,\" he says. \"It's a great song - it's heavy as fuck, just brutal - so we needed lyrics to match that,\" he says, of lyrics that include \"Switch blade slides into the skull \/ Brain seeps out onto the floor \/ Violent killing, I need gore.\" The singer\/guitarist adds, \"It's your standard torture-fucking-murder-fucking-death metal song about killing somebody.\"\nThe themes on Manual Manic Procedures run the gamut of classic gore-metal horror subject matter, beloved to the band and their rapidly growing audience. \"I'll feel what kind of vibe the song has, and what topic would fit for that particular song,\" Buhl explains. \"The last song on the new record, 'Parricide,' is about someone going into a nursing home, and just blowing it up. The lyrics are about those type of corporations that don't really give a fuck about those people. It's all just a money grab.\"","brand":"200 Stab Wounds","offers":[{"title":"Smoke","offer_id":47087568093429,"sku":"20763","price":69.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/1986\/0725\/files\/original_2d23f329-7be5-4a88-a7d6-eb16497ec1be.jpg?v=1759458260"},{"product_id":"4dead-anchors-lp-rare-used-vg","title":"4Dead – Anchors LP (Rare \/ Used, VG+)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCanberra grindcore \/ hardcore band 4Dead, sophomore album 'Anchors' released 2012 by Trial and Error Records, mixed at Godcity by Kurt Ballou.

Born from a desire to bring the masses together with the biting forces of power and honesty, AARDVARK aim to prove there is weight to sincerity and strength in vulnerability. The band's twin-guitar attack keeps fists pumping with tough-yet-melodic riffs, while their thunderous rhythm section drives the tank forward with unyielding brawn.\nFormed in 2021, AARDVARK burst onto the Australian heavy metal scene seemingly out of nowhere with an increasingly packed weekly residency at the iconic Tote Hotel in August 2023, followed quickly by a sold-out launch show for their debut 7” single. The AARDVARK hasn't slowed down since, with a blistering run of local shows and upcoming supports in 2024 for Cirith Ungol and Riot City.\nNow that tank is ready to plow down the gates with the debut album Tough Love. With its cover art encapsulating all their central themes, Tough Love proves the full potential of AARDVARK and that they band is good on their word. With nine tracks clocking in at 44 minutes, Tough Love is a compendium of songs that present a tough, masculine vulnerability, a mixture of personal anthems and mythical journeys that offer a pertinent contrast of escapism and self-reflection. With a sound somewhere between NWOBHM and traditional heavy metal, Tough Love aims to impact with a mix of mid-tempo rockers, poignant ballads, and attacking speed.\nReverential to the past but by no means blinkered by it, AARDVARK inject their own personality and panache into 1983-vintage heavy metal: moody, melodic, dynamic, and dashing. If Conan the Barbarian could shed a tear, he’d do it listening to Tough Love! ","brand":"Aardvark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47087568683253,"sku":"DVP286LP","price":44.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/1986\/0725\/files\/original_c52cd954-5479-4031-b0ef-400f77fc7984.jpg?v=1759458263"},{"product_id":"aberration-diabolic-oath-divinations-split-7","title":"Aberration \/ Diabolic Oath – Divinations Split 7\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn anticipation of greater, more horrific things to come in the new year, we proudly bring you the “Divinations” split 7” between Aberration and Diabolic Oath, two rising forces of surrealistic extreme metal darkness.

But there is no light contemplated in Aberration's contorted audial design, only darkness, and specifically, rather than light, the self, consciousness is passed through a perceptive medium of surrealism, and is refractured into \"other\" self, the core concept of all abominations. Bands like Antediluvian, Portal, Hissing and Altarage are no new comers to the art of death metal defilement through the ritual of perceptive and deceptive psychic mind wars, but what Aberration have accomplished with \"Refracture\" defies definitions and ads an ulterior progression to the end of death metal and of music as we know it. With dissonance used as a weapon and compositional surrealism metastasized into a ravenous dissociative medium, \"Refracture\" tunnels through the listeners brain like a psyche-boring destructive mass, devouring conscience and ravaging synapses through the sheer force of musical absurdity. An anti-reality is achieved through its sideways-moving sprawl and its labyrinthine, shapeshifting pace, with the listener's senses and mind used as helpless hosts in which a mutant parasitism is unleashed into a form of absurd, demented and frenzied perceptive devourment.","brand":"Aberration","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":47087568748789,"sku":"SRUIN227","price":54.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/1986\/0725\/files\/original_494e839e-3fcb-40f5-8ffb-4f64f6dec261.jpg?v=1759458264"},{"product_id":"aberrator-beckoning-tribulation-lp","title":"Aberrator – Beckoning Tribulation LP","description":"Dark Descent heralds the first coming of Aberrator - a yet unknown entity devoted to the ancient arts of death metal mastery.

While one could reasonably expect what sound might result from such a conglomeration, the power-trio's first public recording, 2021's After Winter Comes War EP, aimed for an olde-world Metal of Death that abounded with a refreshing sense of the \"new.\" Now, ABHORRATION are prepared to go deeper into the olde vs. \"new\" with their first full-length.\nSimply and elegantly titled Demonolatry, ABHORRATION's debut album immediately sets forth the same foundation as its short-length predecessor, invoking and rearranging trace elements of classic Sadistic Intent, Morbid Angel, Possessed, and early Vader into something uniquely labyrinthine. But the execution here is impossibly sharper and, frankly, blanching: you literally FEEL each note and drum hit as the quartet bleed for the Devil before their own altars of madness. That the production's suitably rough 'n' raw but clear(ly analog) ably benefits the band's bursting-at-the-seams attack, which also sees an infusion of Vomitor-esque solo-squall. If one difference is to be made to After Winter Comes War, save for the slow-burn stomp of \"The Grace of Immolation,\" it's that Demonolatry excises anything haunting in favor of an equally epic but far-more-coiling style of songwriting that's always moving, moving, MOVING.

Distilled from pure pessimism and misanthropy, the album’s daunting concept establishes mankind as a parasitic scourge or delusional rogue pestilence or antichrist-like figure and is told in the form of memories, precognitions, reckonings and regret within the human race as concepts like environmental collapse, war, militarism, religious fanaticism, pollution, deviated industrialism, fatalism, greed, avarice, evil, and delusions of glory are littered throughout the artwork and lyrics to help the listener grapple with the complete ruin and darkness they are immersed in through the music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKnown for forging their imposing and ominous sound across a massive spectrum of influences that include apocalyptic and eschatological literature and fiction, Abstracter’s otherworldly and monstrous strain of apocalyptic blackened doom contains influences coming from unforgettable dark metal and punk bands like Celtic Frost and Tryptykon, Godflesh, Khanate, Corrupted, Leviathan, Swans, Sunn O))), Amebix, Blut Aus Nord, The Ruins of Beverast, Portal, Dystopia, and Disembowelment as well as from certain underground scholars of dark ambient and industrial noise that the band have meticulously distilled and reworked into their sound over the last decade to forge a completely unheard of and unclassifiable colossal aural weapon of mass extinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded and mixed by Greg Wilkinson at Earhammer, Oakland CA\u003cbr\u003e\nMastered by Adam Tucker at Signaturetone\u003cbr\u003e\nArtwork and design by MA\u003cbr\u003e\nAdditional art by Adam Medford and BMS Illustration\u003cbr\u003e\nAll music by Abstracter\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abstracter","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":47087570354421,"sku":"SRUIN160","price":49.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/1986\/0725\/files\/original_cb0c9205-a9f8-4e30-8267-cfd450089514.jpg?v=1759458273"},{"product_id":"abyssal-elloristh-sepulchorporeal-amore-lp","title":"Abyssal \/ Elloristh – Sepulchorporeal \/ Amore LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eDark Descent Records unveils an ungodly pact between two exceptional merchants of death: U.K.’s and the enigmatic Ellorsith.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe split release showcases mastery in mind-warping death\/black metal from two unique angles.

Music is not intended as a mere sequence of riffs that sounds well one after the other, but is now a naturally ordered structure where almost every musical event refers to the past and\/or predicts the future, generating very layered and complex patterns dominated by polyphony and polyrhythms and where each instrument has its own role and is essential in the whole. The music represents a merging of many different styles, the most prominent ones being extreme death\/black metal, avantgarde, jazz, post-core, doom\/sludge and ambient.\nThe composition process of Imperative Imperceptible Impulse has been heavily influenced by 20th century classical composers like Stravinsky, Šostakóvič, Xenakis, Scelsi, Penderecki and Ligeti, to name a few. Both the concepts of harmony and melody have been put into discussion to get a music where harmony is obtained by means of disharmony and melody by dissonances. To push this method even further, a unique tuning system has been conceived, to allow a new harmonic vocabulary and to eradicate the players from the comfort zone of the usual melodic patterns every guitar\/bass player is used to.\nAd Nauseam takes a step back from the synthetic, flat and fake sound of modern production trends, going in the opposite direction, again adopting the same principles that are used to record classical music: less is more.\nAn extreme effort has been put to find a way to record the most natural, dynamic and tridimensional sound possible. For this reason, instead of focusing on the mixing and post-production phase, an insane amount of attention has been paid studying how to capture the best sound since the very beginning. The maniacal assembly and calibration of the audio chain allowed to nearly eliminate the use of equalizers and dynamic compressors.

However, after increasing interest in the band and a succession of glowing reviews of debut demo ‘In the Days of the Taurean Empire’, Toby decided that there was no turning back and duly put together a fully working line up; enter bassist Richard Bruce, lead guitarist Alastair Riddell and drummer Darius Claydon.\nThe band quickly began writing together and started to develop and define a sound that suited their combined musical direction. With their feet still firmly planted in the doom metal field, the group were able to explore other paths of influence, particularly bass-driven seventies hard rock and the oh-so-punishing twin guitar attacks that ruled the speakers during NWOBHM’s golden years.\nProduced by Jaime Gomez Arellano (Angel Witch, Hexvessel, Ghost), ‘Desperate Souls of Tortured Times’ is a 42 minute collection of material written during their transition over the past three years. It’s an unashamedly heavy voyage down a road less travelled, where each of the seven songs acts as a chapter from an altogether longer tale. Monstrous, mountain-shaking riffs are order of the day in the Empire, stepping aside only for Riddell’s searing leads to take hold, whilst the lock-tight Bruce\/Claydon rhythm section underpins all. Heading the charge from centre stage, Wright’s lyrics act as a vivid narrative, painting pictures of ancient ritual and sprawling landscapes, somewhat reminiscent of Manilla Road and Brocas Helm in their prime. Some might assume that DSOTT is a concept album, however in reality, Age of Taurus is more like a ‘concept band’, intent on delivering undiluted and intriguing heavy metal to all that will listen.\nSo come one, come all and let your eyes and mind be open to a long-forgotten era; the Age of Taurus…. ","brand":"Age Of Taurus","offers":[{"title":"Purple","offer_id":47087573139701,"sku":"RISELP153","price":54.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/1986\/0725\/files\/original_69c9a509-947a-4ba8-b3f9-c48081d5b993.jpg?v=1759458292"},{"product_id":"ageless-summoning-corrupting-the-entempled-plane-lp","title":"Ageless Summoning – Corrupting The Entempled Plane LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e“Ageless Summoning was inspired by the otherworldly death metal of Steve Tucker era Morbid Angel and the discord of Immolation.

With their debut self-titled, Agriculture embarked on a journey to explore how heavy music can provide insights into the joys of life, both everyday and divine. Their extensive touring with this material led to a profound experience of ecstasy, surpassing expectations as they shared the intensity and joy of these songs with audiences worldwide. This experience was a catalyst for the band, inspiring them to delve even deeper into the realm of “ecstatic black metal” music. They believes that with this release they have pushed this concept to its limit, resulting in a transformative explosion of sound and meaning. The record delves into themes of community connection, holiness, violence, and the cycles of life. The title track is especially notable, featuring a retelling of a story from one of the Buddha’s past lives. In this narrative, the Buddha encounters a starving family of tigers and sacrifices himself to save them, a tale of serenity and selflessness. This story resonates deeply with the band, reflecting the humility and inspiration they find in their collaboration and echoing the generosity and interconnection they strive to explore through their music. Touring holds a special place in the heart of Agriculture. It brings them immense joy to share their music, visit new places, and meet new people in cities around the world.

Ecstatic joy isn’t just happiness; it’s a feeling of jubilation which impacts us emotionally and in a metaphysical, arguably spiritual sense too. Although it has long been associated with connotations of the dark and macabre, extreme music has the ability to be a powerful mode of expression for these feelings of absolute bliss, overwhelming love, and awe-inspiring sublimity. Extreme emotions no less and those which black metal quartet Agriculture evokes with its ecstatic subversion of the subgenre’s tropes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat was initially a meeting and subsequent series of jam sessions between Kern Haug and Daniel Meyer, two musicians in the Los Angeles underground noise scene, would eventually manifest as a shared vision to portray the sublimity of the human experience through the vehicle of heavy music. Following the additions of veteran guitarist Richard Chowenhill and bassist\/vocalist Leah Levinson to the band’s lineup, this idea would crystalize into the “ecstatic black metal” backbone of Agriculture’s music, first heard on the band’s 2022 debut EP, The Circle Chant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith Agriculture’s self-titled record and first full-length LP, it’s abundantly clear that the band’s use of heavy music to showcase the most resplendent emotions and moments of the human experience has a far deeper meaning. Woven between the flurries of soaring tremolo picking, crescendoing guitar harmonies, celebratory screamed vocals, thoughtful improvisation, and meditative atmospheric passages is the record’s mission statement to experience the wonders and joys of both the esoteric and physical world. From examinations of self-acceptance, identity, and finding strength in others on “Look Pt.2” to depictions of deep communion with nature, the self, and the people we surround ourselves with in “The Glory of the Ocean” and “The Well”, the concepts and thematic questions previously planted by the band have blossomed into powerful, fully-realized artistic and philosophical statements. To put it in the band’s words, “...Where The Circle Chant is like a finger pointing at the moon, the self-titled LP is like a whole body screaming at it with reverence.” Through the extreme splendor of ecstatic black metal and the improvisational, experimental, and cathartic elements it embodies, Agriculture illustrates these otherwise incomprehensible questions with a poignant beauty that makes its music as much of an artistic statement as it is a transcendental experience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Agriculture","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":47087574155509,"sku":"FR149","price":49.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Colour","offer_id":47225245008117,"sku":"FR149X","price":49.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/1986\/0725\/files\/original_2b06185d-c43a-4154-b3cd-0a2e2dbaa47b.jpg?v=1759458295"},{"product_id":"agriculture-the-spiritual-sound-lp","title":"Agriculture – The Spiritual Sound LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere’s a kind of quiet violence in how music is consumed today—flattened into background noise, sonic perfume fed into algorithms, sold as lifestyle. It’s entertainment as anesthesia. Sound without the weight. The Spiritual Sound, the new full-length from Los Angeles–based band Agriculture, stands as a pointed refusal of this condition.

Leah’s songs move differently: grounded in queer history and AIDS-era literature, amid the suffocating fog of the present, they carry the weight of survival as daily ritual. Her writing asks how to honor queer community and collective struggle without turning it into identity branding or personal mythmaking: how to stay honest, how to stay present.

What began as a loose collaboration between Kern Haug and Dan Meyer in the Los Angeles noise scene evolved into a shared pursuit of the sublime through heavy music. With the additions of Richard Chowenhill and Leah Levinson, the project solidified into the band’s current form. The ecstatic black metal foundation was laid on 2022’s The Circle Chant, expanded into something more precise and far-reaching on their 2023 self-titled full-length, and deepened further with 2024’s Living Is Easy: a record that embraced devotional intensity and radiant heaviness in equal measure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgriculture’s writing process is built on dismantling and revision of self. Dan and Leah bring songs to the band and then allow them to be pulled apart and rebuilt communally: reshaped through conflict, repetition, and deep trust. Richard adds guitar melodies and solos, and Kern constructs rhythms which are sometimes familiar but often unconventional. Finally, with Richard producing, the final form of each song is realized through intense collaborative work in the studio. Although a time consuming and ego-frustrating process, this allows the band to find the spirit of the songs not through inspiration, but through persistence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet, even in its most ambitious moments, The Spiritual Sound remains rooted in the ordinary and in the day-to-day relationships between the people who made it. Gas station snacks. Inside jokes. Sleeping on floors. Playing shows in rooms that smell like mildew. The spirit here isn’t abstract, it's live. This is spiritual music that starts with imperfect gear and a long-in-the-tooth tour van.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgriculture doesn’t offer salvation. The Spiritual Sound isn’t a map out of the fire. What it offers instead is presence: a confrontation with the moment, however unbearable, however divine.

As the Buddhist saying goes “the only way out is in.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the founder of Chinese Zen, Bodhidharma, was asked by the emperor of China “What is the true meaning of the holy truth?” He replied, “Vast emptiness.

'Fathoms' and '50 hz' revel in their otherness, and the sonic sorcery of his Brussels based sound lab.

Reality will suffer. Nothing can crawl away from the open mouth of \"Nihl\". In 2016 Spain's Altarage changed the face of death metal with a watershed moment that marked an inexorable point of no return, and Sentient Ruin was there to tell this story through release of the band's debut demo the year prior and of this beast on cassette tape format the following year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith its sheer tonnage and immensity, \"Nihl\" appeared instantly as a masterpiece that would pave the way to a new era of death metal and to a new way of conceiving and interpreting the notion of absolute heaviness.

A foreboding disturbance which sent the course of events on an entire new path, causing the two styles to inexorably converge unto another creating a new lineage of hyper-evolved death metal that conjoined the best of both worlds and triggered the birth of a new death metal world entirely its own.

Like the first volume of the series, the two works recorded here were written for The Ever Present Orchestra, an ensemble founded in Zürich in 2016 to perform Lucier’s work exclusively. At the core of the music Lucier wrote for the ensemble is the electric guitar, an instrument he began to explore in 2013. Played with e-bows, in these works electric lap steel guitars take on roles akin to the slow sweep pure wave oscillators heard in many of Lucier’s works since the early 1980s. This strikingly elegant pair of compositions would serve as an ideal introduction to Lucier’s late music for a listener as yet unfamiliar with its graceful exploration of beating patterns and other acoustic phenomenon.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe two pieces have quite different characters, exemplifying Lucier’s ability to harvest a remarkable range of musical results from closely related compositional procedures and concerns. In Arrigoni Bridge (2019), Lucier uses a technique familiar from earlier works such as Still Lives (1995), where sine waves traced the shapes of household objects. Here, three lap steel electric guitars (played by Oren Ambarchi, Bernhard Rietbrock, and Jan Thoben) follow the form of the Arrigoni Bridge that connects Middletown and Portland, Connecticut. The bridge’s two enormous steel arcs become slowly sweeping pitches, alongside which alto saxophone (Joan Jordi Oliver Arcos), violin (Rebecca Thies) and cello (Lucy Railton) sustain long tones, creating a variety of audible beating patterns depending on their distance from or proximity to the guitars. With its stately pacing, warm middle register tones, and rich timbral variety in the sustaining instruments, Arrigoni Bridge is a beautiful example of compositional reduction producing immersive results.\u003cbr\u003e\nFlips (2020), on the other hand, is more austere. Scored for two lap steel electric guitars (Rietbock and Thoben), double bass (Ross Wightman) and glockenspiel (Trevor Saint), the two acoustic instruments played with bows, the piece zooms in on the range of a major second (two semitones). The two guitars sweep in opposite directions within the range, crossing every four minutes; the double bass and glockenspiel sustain long tones, producing beats of different speeds determined by their distance from the guitar tones. This limitation of the tonal range means the music is often dissonant and forces the phenomenon of audible beating to the surface, resulting in a paradoxical music composed entirely of long tones yet alive with pulsating rhythm. Exemplifying Lucier’s ability to uncover near-infinite complexity within seemingly simple materials, Works for the Ever Present Orchestra Vol. II is a fitting tribute to one of the major figures of the experimental music tradition and a testament to the continuing power of his work. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alvin Lucier","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":47087576187125,"sku":"BT109LP","price":69.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/1986\/0725\/files\/original_7f484f6d-5873-45c3-9221-ad670fb24705.jpg?v=1759458307"}],"url":"https:\/\/blacksound.com.au\/collections\/vinyl.oembed?page=48","provider":"Blacksound Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
