A thoughtful review of Renihilation HERE

A nice Liturgy review from CMJ here.

The long awaited LP version of the Nadja / Black Boned Angel collaboration album is now available from 20 Buck Spin. The album cover displays the full artwork collaboration between David D’Andrea and Stephen Kasner. The LP also includes a free download.

LAUDANUM, “The Coronation” (20 Buck Spin)  If most husband-wife combos made the terrify­ing type of noise Judd and Becky Hawk create, it would be enough to land many betrothed on some sort of neighbor­hood watch list. But worry not, as the Hawks simply are spitting out sludge doom terror as Laudanum.
On “The Coronation,” the Laudanum’s suffocating second full-length, the band gets a heaving panic of a hand vocally from Graves at Sea’s Nathan Misterek, who gets to test the limits of a human’s throat for auditory torture on these seven, heavily experimental and corrosive tracks. The haze of noise hangs like a steel girder on your chest before “Invoke” really pushes it through your lungs with simmering brutality and shrieking from both Becky and Misterek. “Autumn Ghosts” moves slowly but fluidly toward a collision with menacing “The Last Sleep,” finally letting you up after the ringing soundscapes of “Apotheosis” bring the record to its end. I imagine you’ll want to hit play again as soon as the last bits of doom drip forth, but maybe ice those wounds first.

Here’s a good live vid of White Mice live in NYC on August 10th when they played with Liturgy:
