CANNABIS CORPSE "Tube of the Resinated" vinyl out now! + MASSSIVE Robotic Empire Online Store updates!


Just now realizing we missed our 4/20 release date and many (forgotten) months in the making, the second album from Richmond, Virginia's CANNABIS CORPSE is finally available on vinyl! Tube Of The Resinated sees the band (comprised of members of MUNICIPAL WASTE, BATTLEMASTER and PARASYTIC) upping the ante on their relentless, weed-inspired death metal mayhem. The songwriting is better, the production has moved well beyond the 8-track, and overall this album is about as "professional" as a stoner band can get. To complement appropriately, Robotic Empire has done our best to match the band's hard work with substantial packaging for this LP and are honestly stoked with the results. This is now available in the Robotic Empire Online Store.

The full color sleeve is accompanied by an oversized 36" x 12" double-sided full-color poster insert. The artwork for this is over the top: the cover painting is highlighted by evil shamans summoning an unholy portal from the human-body-parts-filled-bong altar. Seriously. The double-sided poster insert has 3 panels of incredible intricacy, where the infamous bud monster's alien world is finally revealed in engrossing detail. The actual vinyl features the craziest shit we've pulled off to date, including a lazer-cut weed leaf that was custom made and inserted into the vinyl itself. The results were a bit trippier than we'd hoped for, but you can still more-or-less tell what's going on:


This is the lazer-cut pot leaf (left) and the effect after insertion into the vinyl (right). Looks kinda wild so we're calling it TRIPBUD colored vinyl. Here's all the colors we made (stupid names included) and pressing info:


* 200 on CHRONIC
* 200 on DANK HAZE
* 200 on HEADY RUSH
* 300 on TRIPBUD
* 1100 on BLACK


Accordingly, we've re-printed the CANNABIS CORPSE "Bud Monsters" [aka "Couch Buds"] T-Shirts. This also contains art by Barf Callahan, with 2 bud monsters rolling joints out of human beings. A variety of sizes are available: Youth Large ----> Double Extra Large. These and the CANNABIS CORPSE albums are now available in the Robotic Empire Online Store.

Along with the CANNABIS CORPSE t-shirts, we also re-printed the bulk of the PG.99 t-shirts we carry in most sizes, and have some badass new shirts coming soon from CAPSULE as well.


TORCHE's acclaimed In Return 10"+CD release has recently seen its third pressing, and this time around we decided to let the band members themselves each pick a vinyl color. The other 2 colors were picked by the label, including probably the coolest "planets" variation so far, which kinda looks like a flower. The results turned out pretty sweet overall, and just in time for the band's marathon run of summer touring. Fresh off the road with THE SWORD, they head out again in 2 weeks with BORIS. Tour dates can be found here and for everyone patiently (or impatiently) waiting for Meanderthal on vinyl, we just got word from Hydra Head that all the printwork is now done and assembly will commence over the next couple of weeks. We are doing everything we can to get this release to the band in time for the BORIS tour, and will post another update when this is finally finished and actually available to order. The packaging on this is going to trump everything we've released to date. In the meantime, here's the latest pressing info for this 3rd press of In Return, which is available now in the Robotic Empire Online Store.

* 400 on RED / BLUE [color picked by Steve]
* 400 on MINT SWIRL [color picked by Rick]
* 400 on CREAMSICLE [color picked by Juan]
* 400 on WINE (opaque purple / translucent purple w/ purple splatter)
* 200 on "ORCHID" (clear w/ splatters) [color picked by Jonathan]
* 200 on "FLOWER PETALS" (translucent yellow with metallic gold "planet" inserts)

Beyond all this Robotic Empire related stuff, we also have a truly massive amount of new items and restocks that we've recently obtained for the Robotic Empire Online Store since the last update. Highlights include the long-awaited BARONESS / UNPERSONS split LP, new NACHTMYSTIUM LP, BLACK COBRA CDs and LPs, the old DAYBREAK / GODSTOMPER split LP, SLEEP vinyl, the "Turn Daryl Up" benefit DVD (with quality live stuff from TORCHE, DOVE, LIGHTNING BOLT, YOUNG WIDOWS and more), plus some rare imports, old releases and limited colored vinyl. In addition, we now also carry motherfuckin' SOAP, courtesy of the robo-extended-family ZEEP SOAP company. Lindsay has been working for the label/online store for a while now but has this killer upstart going on the side. We definitely back this soap as its all natural, works incredibly, smells better than any store-bought mass-produced nonsense and is genuinely a good-quality product. We stocked up on 4 different kinds of soap and highly recommend you check them out. Enough salesmanship, check out this badass list of stuff for yourself...

Keep an eye out for another update on that release (as we're not doing pre-orders) but in the meantime please check out the Robotic Empire Online Store. Thanks, peace!
