Fresh 2026 @slingshotcollective organizers are now in stock and in store. Random color shipped.

Webstore upgraded. Should look the same but let me know if anyone has issues. All set up for a Black Friday sale.

Hey all. We sat around all week deleting old store entries (dating back to 2008, over 1800 zero quantity releases and their corresponding photos). The store should now run a bit quicker. Also planning an upgrade to the latest software this weekend. DIY!

RALEIGH NC THIS FRIDAY Got everyone's preorders out and can post more about this show again although I have a busy week at a tech conference. Anyway please spread the word about this killer show Friday! Tickets are up for sale on Eventbrite.

About a hundred orders heading out

Back up. Not sure what's going on.

We are experiencing web hosting problems for some reason. I've had an email into them since last night. Apologies for those who want to order, hope to have this resolved soon. Those who have ordered, I don't use the web backend for orders so no problems there. Sorry again.

Okay thank goodness we are up

Update, seems like my host was DDOSed. Records will go live whenever MySQL is restored. I honestly can't catch a break sometimes.

We are doing a **midnight** drop this go round because I have work, then soccer game, then Catharsis show so absolutely no time to handhold the go-live for a noon drop. I am extra busy all week leading up to the Dry Socket show so here are the FAQs- - Items are live tonight midnight EST time zone…

Recent issues Hello all. Since I no longer have a blog to post to for news I'm posting here. In order to keep prices as low I do things a bit differently at TLAL. One big way I save is to have pay-as-you-want hosting for my website. The host I have used for 20 years is a nice computer engineer who…

Website issues. Have an urgent ticket to my host. No response yet. Be patient with us.

Out now - Seven Foot Spleen - Reptilicus CS When discussing the titans of North Carolina sludge metal, names like FACEDOWNINSHT or WEEDEATER might come to mind. But before they rose from the mire, there was SEVEN FOOT SPLEEN—raw, relentless, and criminally underrated. Active from 1994 to 1998,…

Wednesday is my bday and I'd like to ask one thing. It sounds sort of pandering but I'm the worst at getting my label name out there. If you can share this or any post or link a release on Bandcamp with just one friend who might not know TLAL, or someone who is into metal who you think should get…

If more things couldn't go wrong, we are having more hosting problems. Hope for it to be fixed soon but will consider this a day off. Also Death Cert tapes aren't in hand due to some unknown delays with USPS priority mail to me but hope to have those to ship soon.

Photo might not be the actual error but we're having some hosting issue blocking the final part of PayPal checkout for some people. We have notified them and are waiting. Alternative way is to do your full purchase with the checkout with check/money order and then PayPal the total to…
