TRICKY LOBSTERS – 2nd video out. CD/LP now officially shipping from our webshop

“…man, this one just has ‘sleeper hit’ written all over it…” – The Obelisk

“Tarred Albino” is the crushing new single from Rostock, Germany’s groove-heavy doom/blues rock trio, TRICKY LOBSTERS and their impending Worlds Collide LP. The track sees release through a video premiere at The Obelisk this week as the band’s cohorts at Exile On Mainstream prepare the album for official release.

Featuring guest Sebastian “Sebel” Niehoff on Hammond Organ on the track, the new video for “Tarred Albino” shows TRICKY LOBSTERS performing live at major events and intimate club settings, as well as in the studio during the recording sessions of their new LP, the studio footage as filmed by drummer Jörg Peters, and the live action filmed by Justus Tanz throughout 2016 and 2017, who also handled the editing of the video.

Alongside the “Tarred Albino” premiere, popular rock underground outlet The Obelisk offers of TRICKY LOBSTERS’ new album, “man, this one just has ‘sleeper hit’ written all over it,” continuing, “it’s a work of marked quality of songwriting — mature and memorable and experienced befitting a sixth outing — but energetic and not at all staid-sounding.”

Also view the previously-released “Bitter Man’s Fame” video HERE.

TRICKY LOBSTERS release 1st video + preorders available

If the term “insider tip” wasn’t so drawn out, it could be repeatedly used to describe Tricky Lobsters. From Noise to Punk Rock in the early years, from Rock’n'Roll to the gnarly Sludge Blues rock on their latest output “The Blue Hospital Conspiracy”, their body of work includes pretty much everything with a noisy edge. After nearly four years in the wilderness, but their legacy not unsung, the Baltic Sea-based band continues their travels in a kind of western-driven, grande finale and face off in an epic clash of stories, riffs and drama. Engineered and produced by drummer Jörg Peters at Blue Hospital in Rostock in 2017, the three northerners follow diverse paths through rock history and bind them together on Worlds Collide, their sixth official release to date – the band is in their 21st year of existence. With Worlds Collide, they once more present trademark groove and riffs, born from melodies and lyrics deeply rooted in old and recurring stories of love, dreams and deception. The record paints a vivid picture of their current world – and the one behind them.

Please watch the first video in a series of three (two more to come). It features the opening track “BitterMan’s Fame” on their album “Worlds Collide”, which will be released on CD, LP and digitally on June 23^rd 2017.

The album can be preordered on all formats HERE.

OBELYSKKH: tour start and free track premiere

Germany’s doom/sludge outfit OBELYSKKH begins a week-long tour today, bringing the grueling tones from their incoming fourth LP, The Providence, to European audiences ahead of the record’s release through Exile On Mainstream. Decibel Magazine is helping break the new album in with a premiere of its first single, unloading the ominous “Northern Lights” for public ingestion.

As with their previous album, The Providence was recorded and mixed by Andy Naucke and mastered by Brad Boatright (Sleep, Tragedy, High On Fire, From Ashes Rise, Integrity), and again sees cover art crafted by Sebastian Feld/Marginal Ink.

Decibel Magazine publishes with their premiere of the new track, “On their latest release, The Providence, German doom outfit OBELYSKKH join the legions of bands influenced by the writings of H.P. Lovecraft. Offering a taste of their first album in four years, OBELYSKKH deliver plodding doom and grooving riffs on ‘Northern Lights’…”

Bask in the “Northern Lights” of OBELYSKKH at THIS LOCATION.

The Providence will be released on all digital platforms, CD, and 2xLP with three sides of music and a Side D etching on April 21st in Europe, and on June 2nd through new AISA/Red/Sony stateside distribution in the US.

Following the 2013 release of the band’s groundbreaking third album, Hymn To Pan, which struck less than one year after its predecessor, White Lightnin’, the Franconian doomsters found themselves in a state of turmoil and a line-up change with bass player Dirty Dave being replaced by Seb Duster. These ups and downs, alongside the massive honesty and emotion in the band’s routines, developed monstrous pressure, which is channeled into this album, The Providence surging with massive weight, groove, and darkness. The album sees OBELYSKKH leaving huge parts of their former approach behind. Less psychedelic, with more groove — not stoner rock, but more on the side of doom than grueling sludge – yet still delivered in a crushing maelstrom.

The title of the new OBELYSKKH excursion might remind one of H. P. Lovecraft’s iconic poem, and you’d not be wrong, as these classic words provided inspiration for lyrical content and the artwork for The Providence. But that’s only one dimension. The other is illustrated almost perfectly by French revolutionist Victor Hugo: “Above all, you can believe in Providence in either of two ways, either as thirst believes in the orange, or as the ass believes in the whip.” The band lived by this message, beating the record out of themselves, fighting an uphill battle.
