I know we probably should be reporting from Agenda about all the great new this and or that brand, and what dude from such and such long dormant brand has cooking up for 2008/09, but eh… everyone else seems to get a good handle on it. So I’m continuing on what has been an onslaught on my wallet in monolithic new album releases for this past week!

Now this one is a little bit of a cheat, because it came out last week, and originally came out way back in 1998 and has since been long out of print. So all you who salivate at the mere mention of Doom Metal, rejoice as Southern Lord has put out a deluxe edition of Burning Witch’s Crippled Lucifer: 10 Psalms For Our Lord of Light! This baby is basically the blueprint for any and all current Southern Lord bands AND was Southern Lord founder’s and SunnO))) Stephen O’Malley.

Crippled Lucifer was originally a compilation of Burning Witch’s lone two EP releases The Towers (featuring production from Steve Albini) & Rift.Canyon.Dreams. This new deluxe 2CD edition also compiles 3 out of print to the mixes. Yeah I know just 3 extra songs, how does that make it deluxe? It’s fucking doom metal three songs could be the length of a whole new EPP or album in that world! And keeping on the streetwear limited edition tip, only 2000 of these babies will be pressed! Get on the doom tip.
