Hellfish is proud to annouce that they will be taking over all webstore duties for 6131 records!

You can still purchase stuff through their online store or head over to www.hellfishfamily.com/band/6131records and check out all that’s up.

Orders will be shipped out multiple times a week to make sure that nobody has to wait too long.

Thanks for supporting the both of us!

New song from Between Earth and Sky

Check out the new song "Of Roots and Wings" from their debut 2x7" out late summer early fall (US version on Hellfish & Euro version on Refuse Records)

Of Roots And Wings

Every wave owes the beauty of its curve to the retreat of the one that precedes it, every flower must fade in order to bear its fruit, and unless the fruit falls and dies, it cannot produce future flowerings, so that spring itself is founded upon winter’s loss.
                                                                        
                                                                     - Andre Gide, Fruits of the Earth

hold onto me with everything you've got because we're going down in flames
....and there’s nothing we can do to stop the fall
screaming for our lives wishing the sky was our domain
presenting calm facades yet paralyzed by fear
that no one will ever sift through our remains

so we pray to gods that the earth will go away
close our eyes and hope that no one will betray or reveal
these broken hearts inside of you and me

all I want is to survive
the call of the grave keeps me alive
fuel and fire
til my last breath...

as I'm incinerated at the end I'll still be longing for your lips upon my skin
these intoxications have helped to fill the void
but as your passions reassure, I wonder if they’re in vain
for I could love you to unknown depths but we'll be buried just the same

we pray to gods that the earth will go away
close our eyes and hope that there will come a day when we'll feel
            I wish I could feel
these broken hearts inside of you and me

all I want is to survive
the call of the grave keeps me alive
fuel and fire
til my last breath
the die is cast
 and these foundations will never last
 I feel the burden of a name and a face
 and still I try to crumble to dust with grace
 
betrayed by the promises we've made
betrayed by the rules that we've obeyed
we are - holding onto anything
to be of both roots and wings
and in each moment until we hit the ground
we'll be wishing for another way down…

also in the world of Hellfish,

Hellfish signs Band of Mercy!

"Call us whatever you want--vegan fascists, or terrorists. Just know that we are everywhere, and the animals will have deliverance." Band of Mercy, formed from the ashes of Die Young (TX), is a band by vegans for vegans. BoM sets out to to deliver music that will fuel the fire for vegan fitness, increased libido, and last but not least...ANIMAL LIBERATION! 

Think Motorhead meets Die Young meets Bad Religion. An early punk vibe and driving guitars mixed with Daniel’s distinct vocals create an energetic atmosphere of noisy ruckus fun. Six songs that are perfect for everything from circle pitting to fucking to liberating animals. 

We plan of doing a small pressing and loading it full of extras. Keep an eye out for the 7” later this summer! 

Check out a song from the upcoming 7" here:

New books in the webstore:

2 new books in the store, if you like Glenn Danzing or Henry Rollins you will love this.

Starring super-notorious musclebound punk/metaldudes Glenn Danzig and Henry Rollins (with a little help from super-notorious soft-rockdudes Hall and Oates) Henry & Glenn Forever is a love story to end all love stories! Who knew Danzig was such a vulnerable, self-conscious sweety-pie? Who knew Rollins was such a caring spouse? Who knew Hall and Oates were so infernally evil—yet so considerate? Well, illustrating/writing team Igloo Tornado (featuring super-awesome comixdude Tom Neely) did and they kicked down 64 fully-illustrated pages with it. Genius on all fronts. Terrifyingly cute. Cutely terrifying. As the real-life Rollins says, quoted on the back cover, “Has Glenn seen this? Trust me, he would not be impressed.”

Since straight edge's origins in Washington, D.C. in the early 1980s, it has been linked to radical thought and action by countless individuals, bands, and entire scenes worldwide. Sober Living for the Revolution traces this history. It includes contributions – in the form of in-depth interviews, essays, and manifestos – by numerous artists and activists connected to straight edge, from Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat/Fugazi) and Mark Andersen (Dance of Days/Positive Force DC) to Dennis Lyxzén (Refused/The (International) Noise Conspiracy) and Andy Hurley (Racetraitor/Fall Out Boy), from bands such as ManLiftingBanner and Point of No Return to feminist and queer initiatives, from radical collectives like CrimethInc. and Alpine Anarchist Productions to the Emancypunx project and many others dedicated as much to sober living as to the fight for a better world.
