Bloody Head occupy an almost-unique place in the over-populated world of what you might call “noise rock” (if you were the sort of person who files their records by invented genres).Probably the most unpredictable and chaotic band in a city that is famous for them, live gigs can be genuinely unsettling and messy affairs and occasionally 2 confrontational or even scary as an audience member. However, rather than being a scream into the void or a nihilistic tantrum, it feels like the noise and chaos are there to clear room for revelations and epiphanies (big or small) to subsequently happen in the space that is left behind for both the band and the audience. Imagine them as a giant hand trying to sweep away the shit of existence and reveal everything beautiful that remains. \u003ci\u003ePerpetual Eden\u003c\/i\u003e feels like the sharpest manifestation of the band’s approach yet. Narcotic\/gnostic lyrical observations are revealed as truths through the ritual of noise and repetition. It changes and it changes you. This is heavyweight sound used as psychic tool of discovery. Like seeing the wonderful light of heaven, right as you step out of the pub into the road and the bus hits you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wrong Speed Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50402449424715,"sku":"2169926","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Bloody_Head_WSR056_b70bba1b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726545631"},{"product_id":"the-temple-pillars-disappear-into-the-clouds","title":"The Temple Pillars Disappear Into the Clouds","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Temple Pillars Disappear Into the Clouds \u003c\/i\u003eis the title of the new record from Bloody Head. Recorded mostly live at Stuck on a Name Studios by St. Ian Boult. Both wilder and more restrained than previous efforts. Punk? Noise rock? Psych? Sludge? All\/none of the above, but the keen eared seeker of the weird may detect snippets of Les Rallizes Denudes, Kilslug, Brainbombs, Rudimentary Peni, Mainliner, Hawkwind, Donovan amongst the sonic morass. Lyrically it deals with big concepts, tumbling down. Dualism? Taoism? A beautiful garden or a broken jaw? Human endeavours losing track of themselves and getting lost in the clouds of their own creation.

Available on limited-edition LP with spot-varnished sleeve. After finding their Perpetual Eden and then seeing it violently retrograde, Bloody Head return with a new transmission devoted to the pendulum’s swing and the big wheel’s turn. The big wheel turns and the seasons turn and we turn and it all just keeps on spinning away… elliptic, off kilter, centres not holding, the whole merry-go-round whirling and dissolving and coagulating, perpetually. The CHILDREN OF THE DUSK and the sundry weirdoes and creeps depicted on the cover painting, channelled by Danny Roberts 777, all spinning and singing and sinning as they rattle along… in some sort of strange, discordant VIBRATORY AFFINITY with themselves\/each other\/it all. Stay a while and take the time to BEND DOWN AND KISS THE GROUND\/smell the roses\/find your Eden, in and amongst the nooks and cracks and crannies and in the thin, strange places. TIME AS VEILED ETERNITY is a microcosm of the whole merry Shambala, pushing and pulling and coming together and falling apar Recorded, mixed and mastered by James Atkinson at the Stationhouse, Leeds. The session almost kiboshed by Storm Éowyn. A sprawling mass\/mess which oozes and lurches from bloody minded heaviness to meditative reflection to unsettling delirium and back again, ending in total sonic breakdown. More focused and restrained, more reckless and chaotic. There is No time, to every season some sort of purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wrong Speed Records","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":56121291047243,"sku":"R4269-9595","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/BloodyHead-BendDownAndKissTheGround-WSR080-frontcover.jpg?v=1765818368"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/bloody-head.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
