Blakeslee’s in-studio alchemy with Paz Lenchantin (Pixies\/A Perfect Circle\/Zwan) and drummer Derek James would lead to the formation of The Entrance Band. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe rebirth of this underground cult classic , originally inspired by “the daily Death Vibrations of the Modern World,” could not come at a more appropriate time, given the state of our civilization. For Blakeslee, death is the ultimate psychedelic, erasing the mind completely instead of expanding it-- and by the closing track, he has made some sort of peace with the idea, which makes the album sound like a journey instead of a tract. His final words are \"When you think about death every morning, don't you ever be afraid!\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf only it were that easy. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Entrance Records and Tapes","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50500916838731,"sku":"1140791","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50500916314443,"sku":"277936","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/28d3e2e4-3937-425d-80e7-b03b2be2d62a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727780583"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/entrance.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
