MOD EDIT - started as a promo thread. Moved to Alt Metal to be a general discussion of the band and their releases. - Bitter

Sleestak is kicking off the new year with a new release called "Altrusian Moon - A Lo-Fi Collection Of Psychedelia and Space Rock". Yes, we know: we didn't warn you.

It is available at Bandcamp - http://sleestak.bandcamp.com - and is a "pay what you want" digital album - you can pay $0 or be as generous as you wish. We dug deep into our rehearsal archives to give our fans a glimpse into our relaxed free-form jams, a very psychedelic improvised musical exploration of song ideas. Yes, there are mistakes, missed drum hits, wrong notes, etc. but the journey is there - a raw yet sublime document of our times playing together in the basement over the years. Also included is the live remix jam version of "The Fall Of Altrusia" from 2009. You'll hear some of our wider influences in this material and may appeal to fans of Bardo Pond, Hawkwind, USX, Red Sparowes, Dead Meadow, White Hills, and Yawning Man.

If you dig it, please consider purchasing the download as we start gathering funds to record the studio follow up to "Altrusia" hopefully to be released in 2012.

Psychedelic space rock free-form jam material.

You know how to rub a guy the right way.

Good news, will check it out. thread trimmed to be general purpose Sleestak, so all info is consolidated.

Cool, hope you guys like it. its from our own personal recordings and its kinda how we develop song ideas.

Will definately check this out.

I'm so in love with this band right now. I don't know if I can handle a new album, I might die of awesome

there is a reason i keep running my yap about them... good to see at least one more convert.

We are really getting into writing the new studio effort at the moment - i'm not exaggerating when i say its gonna blow "Fall Of Altrusia" out of the water....hopefully everything will go right and we'll get to complete it by the end of the year. i'd love to release it a day before the world ends in december so people can get a chance to hear it!

but for real, we are planning this as a trilogy and will be continuing the story, pushing the epic nature of it as far as we can. i would say to expect the new album to be over 60 minutes, again one song split into chapters.

thanks to everyone for the kind words and support, its why we are doing this!

"Altrusia" btw is now back in stock and available at http://sleestak.bandcamp.com

Its possible....though I dont know about customs, passports and such and if we need work visas and all that crap. as much as we'd love to just hit the road and show up, it would definately have to be worth the trip for us to come up.

You'd get to see me, that'd make it worth the while

if you ever do a northern tour, definately come to Thunder Bay.

So yeah, we are definitely and independently FAN supported and we couldn't be happier with that!
