Hey gang!
We just started posting on here today and hopefully this isn't incredibly rude of us, but one of our bands has a track streaming on the media player so we thought we'd introduce ourselves  We're a record label based out of Cincinnati, OH called The Mylene Sheath and we've got a new release coming out on 11.10.09 by Boston, MA's Junius entitled "The Martyrdom of a Catastrophist". We started taking preorders for the release today and and all preorders will ship out in late October, so you'll receive the album a couple weeks before it's in stores Details on the different preorder options are posted below and also you can download the entire album for FREE right HERE!
Thanks for reading and have a wonderful holiday weekend!!! Please continue on and read about the preorder if you have the time, thanks again!!!
We're insanely proud to announce that we can begin taking preorders for the incredible new full length by Boston, MA's JUNIUS entitled "The Martyrdom of a Catastrophist". After two critically acclaimed EP's (later combined on a self titled reissue), the band can finally be experienced in true full length form and the results are nothing short of stunning! We've wanted to work with these guys since the humble beginnings of the label, so to finally be able to to work with them is a dream come true for us. Throughout the past few weeks we've laughed, we've cried, we've faught, we've healed, we've slept little and hugged lots - and the end result is something that not even we could have imagined The packaging is, quite simply, going to drop jaws. You'd definitely be hard pressed to find a harder working, more dedicated band. Constantly pushing themselves to the next level, both artistically and functionally as a band, Junius believes in what they're doing with all their hearts... and so do we. And it is with that mutual belief in one another that we announce the preorder for "The Martyrdom of a Catastrophist"!!
PREORDER HERE
We went all out for this monster - the vinyl will have 5mm spine, super thick 350gsm jackets with spot gloss and include a massive 11" x 11" 16 page paperback book in which the cover is on heavy, upgraded 250gsm stock w/spot gloss and the inner pages are on 200gsm uncoated paper featuring art by Drew Speziale (Circle Takes The Square) and illustrator Matt Gauck. The CD comes housed in a 300gsm cardboard gatefold CD jacket and includes massive 24 page booklet on thick uncoated paper featuring art by Drew Speziale and Matt Gauck as well. The album was recorded by Kevin Mills and Tom Syrowski (Weezer, AFI) and mastered by Dave Collins (Danny Elfman, Black Sabbath). There's also a tote bag edition of the vinyl, the record will come snuggled up inside a limited edition, preorder only, Junius tote bag! These will be hand screened by the band themselves in a very limited run of 25, exclusive to this preorder
Pressing info for the vinyl will break down like this:
-100 on clear vinyl with bronze haze
-100 black and bronze vinyl swirled
-700 bronze vinyl
And here's a little press action:
"This darkly lush epic is the best soundtrack for reveling in the melancholy of actually living since My Bloody Valentine's Loveless." - Alternative Press
"Genius... an epic audio masterpiece." - The Big Takeover
"This fiery Boston quartet displays the potential to emerge as the bridge between post-grunge and the future of alternative rock." - Amplifier Magazine
We back this album with everything in us and can't wait to hear it's well received remarks. We'll be posting it up on Gimme Sound for every one's downloading/listening pleasure HERE. And feel free to check out their featured track "Elishiva, I Love You" on Altpress.com later today as well! We'll also be running contests for the album on both Punk News and Indie Rock Reviews so be sure to enter those for a chance to win free goodies!!
All preorders will ship out in late October and as always, don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions.
Enjoy!
xoxo,
Lindsay & Joel

Hahah I'm like, 30 seconds in and I'm already sad that they aren't coming to California.
Newwww obsessionnnnn
Edit:
Now that I've given it more of a proper listen, I am going to stick with my original statement that this is tops.
As soon as I get some sort of prepaid credit card consider some merch bought. That tote bag edition looks yummy.

Hey guys! Had a lot going on recently - most of it is touched on in this months newsletter. You can read the newsletter in its entirety simply by clicking HERE
Just a brief summary of the newsletter: we have a CD sale going on in the webstore HERE (they're ALL 30% off or more until Friday the 13th), we'll begin taking preorders for the upcoming vinyl release of If These Trees Could Talk - Above The Earth, Below The Sky on Friday, November 20th, Caspian is back in the states and has some January tour dates coming up in the northeast (supporting The Sainthood Reps, which features Derrick Sherman who plays third guitar for Brand New during their tours) as well as a full US spring tour, Constants have begun demoing songs for their next album which is being produced by Jesu / Godflesh mastermind Justin K Broadrick, the Junius 2xLP's should be shipping by the end of the month, and international postage rates have increased slightly on our end. I think that covers most of it. But again, just click HERE and you can read the whole thing - thanks guys, hope your upcoming weekend is going to RUUUUULE!!

Hey guys!
Just a heads up for anyone planning on perusing the magnificent world of retail record stores or digital music retailers - the new Junius album "The Martyrdom of a Catastrophist" hits the joints today Head down to your favorite local record store to snag the CD (vinyl will be stocked later) or else hit up iTunes, Amazon mp3, or any other DSP that floats your boat!
 Birth Rites By TorchlightThe Antediluvian Fire(Turning to The Spirits of The Hours...)The Dramatist Plays CatastrophistTen Year LibrarianStargazers & Gravediggers(...he fell before her)Elisheva, I Love YouLetters From Saint AngelicaThe Mourning EulogyJust click the track title above to purchase the song from iTunes The vinyl preorders should begin shipping out by the end of this month (you can still preorder HERE) and, of course, if you want to purchase the CD (which includes a 24 page booklet), either hit up your local mom & pop or mailorder it directly from us HERE, and it will ship immediately So there you have it gang, show the Junius dudes some love, support them. It's getting harder and harder to be a hard working, touring band these days and we need to do everything we can to ensure the wheels stay spinning on the van! If anyone has any questions or anything at all, just hit us up at info@themylenesheath.com and we'll take care of you Have an awesome Tuesday guys!! xoxo, Lindsay & Joel
