As a result of the new digital era, DIY was now worldwide, and no band embraced this new frontier better than Have A Nice Life. Formed in 2000 by duoDan BarrettandTim Macuga, the Middletown, CT-based pair would, throughout the 00s, self-release and share a number of demos and home recordings via early social media channels as well as establish its in-house labelENEMIES LIST HOME RECORDINGS. These first steps set in motionHave A Nice Life’s rise to renown as an icon of underground music in the internet age, culminating with the release of its pivotal 2008 debut album,\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDeathconsciousness\u003c\/em\u003e.

Eventually, this humble self-released project would attain the status of a post-internet cult classic, amassingHave A Nice Lifea fervent online following that the band would interact with in kind.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn an effort to thank and continue to engage withHave A Nice Life’s internet cult following, Barrett and Macuga would regularly share links to old demos, works in progress, and outtakes from the recording of\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDeathconsciousness\u003c\/em\u003e.

Hungry for more from the enigmatic duo, fans swarmed around this compilation, accompanied by loud calls for it to receive a physical release. Seeing that demand and with the band’s blessing, a pair of fan-made tape pressings of Voids would be released viaMusic Ruins Lives, a DIY label run byHave A Nice LifesuperfanThom Wasluck, also known for his bandPlanning for Burial.

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. This is not a playlist. This is not a vibe. It is a demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcross its runtime, The Spiritual Sound traces a narrative arc through extremes: searing, sky-cracking catharsis on side A; a slow-burning, devotional undercurrent on side B. The album is largely a fusing of the visions of its two principal songwriters, Dan Meyer and Leah Levinson: distinct voices, deeply complementary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeyer writes like someone clawing toward the divine through noise, channeling Zen Buddhism, historical collapse, ecstatic grief. Levinson’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. Though distinct, their voices converge in a singular spiritual grammar—one that defines the totality of The Spiritual Sound, not as separate parts, but as one unified expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgriculture’s formation mirrors this duality. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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. It insists that meaning is still possible, even in a world hell-bent on reducing everything to content, and where suffering itself can be conducive to recovery. As the Buddhist saying goes “the only way out is in.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1 My Garden\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2 Flea\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3 Micah (5:15am)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4 The Weight\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5 Serenity\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6 The Spiritual Sound\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7 Dan's Love Song\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8 Bodhidharma\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9 Hallelujah\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10 The Reply\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Flenser","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55432798536066,"sku":"FR181LPX","price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/9494\/0689\/files\/agriculture.png?v=1752765559"},{"product_id":"chat-pile-live-at-roadburn-2023-lp","title":"Chat Pile  \"Live At Roadburn 2023\" LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e🚛 - In Stock \u0026amp; Shipping\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore \u003cspan class=\"outlook-search-highlight\" data-markjs=\"true\"\u003eChat\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"outlook-search-highlight\" data-markjs=\"true\"\u003ePile\u003c\/span\u003e took on sold out tours and widespread critical acclaim, they played Roadburn 2023, their biggest show to date, in front of a packed room of 3,000 on the festival's main stage.

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. This is not a playlist. This is not a vibe. It is a demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcross its runtime, The Spiritual Sound traces a narrative arc through extremes: searing, sky-cracking catharsis on side A; a slow-burning, devotional undercurrent on side B. The album is largely a fusing of the visions of its two principal songwriters, Dan Meyer and Leah Levinson: distinct voices, deeply complementary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeyer writes like someone clawing toward the divine through noise, channeling Zen Buddhism, historical collapse, ecstatic grief. Levinson’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. Though distinct, their voices converge in a singular spiritual grammar—one that defines the totality of The Spiritual Sound, not as separate parts, but as one unified expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgriculture’s formation mirrors this duality. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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. It insists that meaning is still possible, even in a world hell-bent on reducing everything to content, and where suffering itself can be conducive to recovery.

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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\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\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Flenser","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56476184510850,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/9494\/0689\/files\/agricultureselftitledlp.png?v=1773669587"},{"product_id":"planning-for-burial-its-closeness-its-easy-lp","title":"Planning for Burial 'It's Closeness, It's Easy' LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eLP - Ice Blue Vinyl\u003cbr\u003e🚛 - In Stock \u0026amp; Shipping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanning for Burial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis the solo project of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThom Wasluck\u003c\/strong\u003e, emerging from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eIt’s Closeness, It’s Easy\u003c\/em\u003e, his fourth album, arrives on May 30th via\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Flenser.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIt’s Closeness, It’s Easy\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis the long-awaited follow-up to 2017’s\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eBelow the House\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eBelow the House\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewas about returning home, following in the footsteps of your father and joining a union, and leaving behind youth’s wild days,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eIt’s Closeness, It’s Easy\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eembraces what comes next—the weight of all years, the quiet shifts, the reckoning with what remains.

Taking its name from the towering mounds of toxic waste that stand as monuments to capitalism’s cruel hubris across its home state, Oklahoma City’s Chat Pile made an immediate impression, soon culminating in the release of its landmark 2022 debut album, God’s Country and 2024’s expansive follow up Cool World\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the massive success of God’s Country would propel the quartet from the status of underground favorites to an international sensation, Chat Pile’s mission to take rock music to new zeniths of intensity was part of the plan from the very start. In fact, during its first handful of months as an active project, Chat Pile began writing and recording some of the heaviest, hellish, and harrowing music of its entire catalogue, laying the foundation of the themes and traits that would eventually manifest in the band’s debut LP.
