This is a release on Type Records, the label I co-founded with John Xela. John was responsible for its musical output; I contributed in the first few years on design and running the label. The catalogue is archived here for posterity.
Boston, Massachusetts-based Matthew Azevedo's third full-length as Retribution Body was never intended to be an easy listening experience. It's this rare set of skills that can be heard on Aokigahara, an album made up of two long slabs of low frequency drone. Unlike many contemporary drone records, the album is an acoustic recording made in a concert hall, something which adds a certain magic that's impossible to recreate using software trickery. To experience its literal punch to the gut you need to make sure you've got the right gear to hand – a good subwoofer is highly recommended.
Made at Type.
