The famous psychedelic rock band Ozric Tentacles, has announced an all-new double CD and vinyl album set, “Technicians of the Sacred”, to be released via Madfish Music on May 11, 2015, in UK, May 22 in Europe and May 26 in North America. This will be the first Ozric Tentacles double album since the classic “Erpland” over 20 years ago. “Technicians of the Sacred” is an original sojourn to the world of Ozrics. Richly layered, evocatively ambient, and ethereal musical landscapes, seamlessly morphing through beatific freeform dub trips, incredible rave grooves, and psychedelic progressive rock, create a heady, kaleidoscopic mixture of tones and textures. The aesthetics of the album are themed in Mayan Astrology. In support of this epic 90-plus minute offering, Ozric Tentacles will kick off its tour dates through Europe and the UK on April 25, with its first performance in Warsaw, Poland. Another first on the tour will be Belgrade, Serbia. The tour will continue through May, before arriving stateside in June for a run of festivals and club performances. Tracklisting: CD I: 1.

Pentagram, the famous American heavy metal/doom act, fronted by mastermind Bobby Liebling, was formed in the early ‘70s. Through four decades of adversity and triumph, Pentagram has become a legendary international act and has firmly stamped its name in the heavy metal history books. “All Your Sins – Video Vault”, the first-ever official Pentagram video collection, recovers, repairs and resurrects the earliest known footage of the first doom metal band to come out of America and more. Two DVDs packed with priceless archive footage, as well as recent shows, “All Your Sins” unearths the rumored lost visual evidence pent up in the Ram Family vault for decades. This definitive collection contains over seven hours of footage from nine venues and numerous historical shows, including a charged performance at the legendary CBGB's club in 1985 – a mass of classic renditions from the band's catalog finally gathered together for a live journey spanning over 30 years. Release date: April 15, 2015. Label: Peaceville Records.
