Note About Shipping To The U.S.
We are located in Canada, but have registered ourselves on eBay.com instead of eBay.ca because it gives us significantly better global exposure.  The problem with this is that eBay wants us to charge shipping appropriate to US, where media mail and other options make for fairly reasonable delivery costs. We tried it for a while but ended up losing money on shipping or having to cancel the orders because we couldn't afford to ship for those rates. To manage this we have set the US shipping to run a calculator based on an American location (we chose Plattsburgh as fairly close) and charging according to UPS pricing.  This avoids the cancellation issue, but can appear to the buyer to be a prohibitive shipping cost and misrepresents the shipping as being only expedited. If you give us your postal code we will see if we can offer a more reasonable option, but generally we can get a single LP by air to most places in the continental US for $11, a double $16, a few bucks less for ground. If you pay for the item and the shipping was less than you paid we will refund you the difference
Thanks for shopping Sir Helmitt,

Sonic Jesus

Neither Virtue Nor Anger

Limited Edition

Fuzz Club Records ?– none 2 × Vinyl, LP, Album, Limited Edition 2015 (UK)

Sonic Jesus blew away audiences earlier this year with their debut album of unrelenting sonic intensity, Neither Virtue Nor Anger, and the soul shattering live performances that followed. Due to demand, Fuzz Club are re-releasing the album on vinyl. 

A four sided epic of industrial darkness, Neither Virtue Nor Anger rippled through the underground selling out records and shows and gaining critical acclaim from Consequence of Sound, The Quietus, Drowned In Sound, Clash Music, and Exclaim! giving the Italian duo near-deity status among fans and contemporaries. Clash Music put it well when they said ‘If you decide to name your band Sonic Jesus then you're going to need to back it up with something special.’ Indeed they did. 

Sonic Jesus say the album represents 50 years of music, and critics have noted many influences among the guitar laden electronica and fuzz: industrial noise, post punk, folk, glam rock, heavy metal, calypso and more ‘traditional’ new psych sounds such as psychedelia, blues and shoegaze. But rather than sounding like a schizophrenic pastiche, Neither Virtue Nor Anger has been praised as a rich and masterful creation, made by highly talented musicians who combined their influences then left them to simmer and dissolve together to form a new entity, which is something much more interesting and complex than the sum of its parts. 

The Quietus says ‘Its uncompromising dedication to pursuing its own singularly dank metaphor lifts this record above its peers towards the flagellant intensity of Current 93 or Swans...Sonic Jesus have conclusively proved themselves the contemporary masters’. 

The album not only showcases the incredible skill and creativity of the artists involved, it also drives a stake in the ground for the future of the psych, which some say is starting to suffer under the fatigue of homage and sameness. 

Drowned In Sound said “Neither Virtue Nor Anger goes above and beyond the realms of your average psych record. Sonic Jesus can lay claim to releasing one of the scene's – and this year's – finest collections. If Sonic Jesus are the unbridled new future - modern, raw, experimental and forward looking - then it’s a future we want to be part of”

Shindig Magazine has called them “one of Psych’s best kept secrets”, Drowned In Sound compared them to Brian Jonestown Massacre combined with the sonic intensity of A Place To Bury Strangers.
