To celebrate the 20-year milestone, Stemage posted "Metroid Metal is 20 Years Old - A Retrospective" on YouTube. In the video, he presents an oral history of Metroid Metal, talks about how it has impacted his life, and reveals some behind the scenes anecdotes. Needless to say, if you're a Metroid Metal fan, it's a must-watch. Last, there are some Metroid Metal socks in the store, which were originally created for and sold at MAGFest 2023.

A second, vinyl pressing of Nemo 1934's Vol. 1 is available today in our store. John, Kenny, Scott, and Seth wrote a note about today's release:
"Dear friends: A new vinyl pressing of the Nemo EP is available today. We humbly dedicate this release to our dear brother, friend and partner in song, Noah Warner. His drumming on this record is a mere glimpse into his unique musicality and natural artistic brilliance. We miss him daily and are comforted in knowing that this world was made funnier, groovier, and downright more interesting by his being in it. It is our pleasure to release this pressing in his honor."
Vinyl orders will include a digital download code, redeemable at Bandcamp. In addition to the five EP tracks, remastered versions of "Our Stolen Car" and "The Airport" will be included as bonus tracks.

Sinners & Saints will kick off a February jaunt through the Southeast tomorrow in St. Augustine, FL at Nobby's. They'll circle back to the Old North State by February 13 to support Cicada Rhythm at Petra's in Charlotte, NC.
Silent Uproar Records has been championing and working towards the reissue of Nemo 1934's Vol. 1 for essentially 12 years. We don't have words to describe the feeling of actually reissuing it for a wider audience, but that really doesn't matter at this point. The music meant a lot to us at the time and still does, to say the least. The energy of a Nemo 1934 live show is only matched by a few bands, even to this day.
We hope the reissue, re-mastered by our own Grant Henry (Stemage), captures that energy and resonates with you as it does with us. Our release post on Facebook has more details and links for purchasing digitally or on 10" vinyl.
