Update: 3 New Artists, 1 New Label

[Jihad M. Rabah]

Hi all,
I'm very excited to share 4 projects I'm currently working on and that you can expect before the end of the year:

First, another collaboration with Holy Roar Records from the UK along with Daggers (Belgium). Daggers hails from Brussels with a dark, metallic sound. They've wrecked several stages all over Europe and have now recorded their new full length "Euphoria" with Ben Phillips at Lightship95 in London. Euphoria 12"LP will be in stores on November 8, 2011 in U.S./Canada/Mexico and available via all digital outlets.

Fatal Birth: San Francisco based three-piece. Influences ranging from early power violence, first wave US death metal, darkened hardcore/punk, and doom metal. Recorded to analog tape then mix and mastered by Jack Shirley (Comadre, Skin Like Iron, Neo Cons) at The Atomic Garden Studio in one day. Harsh unadulterated dissonance. Co-released by T.B.H./S.F. Release Date: 11/15/11

Creatures needs no introduction. They have been at it for a few years and have released records with Closed Casket Activities, Hellfish and Eulogy. Their Twelve Gauge debut, Vesuvius, will be a 180-gram 12"LP and is expected in late November. Vesuvius was recorded by Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden and will be mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side Music. The band will support the release with a couple of short tours around the U.S.

No Sir & Family Drugs

Family Drugs is a joint venture between Sam Pura (The Panda Studios), who has engineered numerous Twelve Gauge releases including the last 6 Sabertooth Zombie records, and myself. It's a record label collective of music from various genres and friends of ours. We already have our first 3 releases lined up starting with No Sir.

No Sir is an aggressive hardcore band from the North Bay and features members of Sabertooth Zombie, All Teeth, Strike To Survive and Not To Reason Why. Their 5-song EP, Holy Land, is now in production and is expected to be released in late November. Visit http://familydrugs.org for more.

It's been a really busy year for the label and am very excited to get these releases out to you and get Family Drugs rolling.

Pre-orders for all 4 releases can be expected in the coming few weeks. BTW, Twelve Gauge will be 7 years old on October 1st, 2011.
