BORIS - AKUMA NO UTA - "Venom" Picture Disc Vinyl LP - sunn41
Record is in Near Mint condition as I ordered it directly from Southern Lord and played it once (maybe not even all the way through). It came only in a thick plastic sleeve which has a cut about 2" wide in the at the bottom seam in the center. I have the other picture disc of this album and it the sleeve has the same cut. Released on Southern Lord in 2003, limited to 300 and out of print. See picture for credits on disc.
From Wikipedia:
Akuma no Uta is the fifth full-length album by Japanese band Boris, the name meaning "The Devil's Song". This album stands out as a combination of all the genres, stylings, and sounds of their previous works, yet maintains a mostly 70s rock sound with a bit of sludge, punk, drone, and post-rock. Originally released in 2003 on Diwphalanx Records with minimalistic artwork, it was re-issued in 2005 on Southern Lord Records with the cover of the LP, which was limited to 500 copies.
The album cover of the US CD/Japan LP is a direct tribute to the cover of the Nick Drake album Bryter Layter. It is also slightly extended to around 39 minutes, almost the exact length of the Bryter Layter album. The notable difference in the cover design is Takeshi holding his double-neck Ibanez instead of an acoustic guitar. Southern Lord's vinyl release of this album was in picture disc, 700 copies in the "Nick Drake" style and 300 in "Venom" style, which is a tribute to the black metal band Venom.
