BURNING WITCH-”Crippled Lucifer, Ten Psalms for Our Lord of Light” 2xcd limited version

After a elongated eternity of anticipation it is with extreme relief that we are able to announce that:
“Crippled Lucifer: 10 Psalms For Our Lord of Light” is finally done and ready to be devoured! These recordings are the roots of much of what has grown into the current existence of Southern Lord alumni: sunn 0))), Khanate, Goatsnake, Teeth Of Lions Rule The Divine etc.. as well as: KTL, Asva, etc..

This deluxe double cd re-issue of all Burning Witch recordings will serve as a respectful epitaph for this incredible band. It compiles both the Towers and Rift Canyon Dreams albums which were on the the original Crippled Lucifer release PLUS the following out of print material:

“Communion” and “the Bleeder” from: split CD with Goatsnake (Hydra Head Records 2000) OUT OF PRINT
and
“Rift Canyon Dreams” from :split 12″ with Asva (Dos Fatales Records 2004) OUT OF PRINT
(remixed by Randall Dunn (sunn, boris, earth) and available for the first time ever on cd)

The mailorder version will be exclusively limited to 2,000 individually machine-numbered copies and besides the double cd of the regular version it will contain a “drop card” that will allow the owner to exclusively download the audio of a full live show from 1996 and a previously unheard demo from the same era. The packaging on this bitch is absolutely amazing and will serve as the appropriate sheath to shelter this archive. Trust us…it will be worth the wait and more!
