Mass -- Mass


One and only release from German stoner rock/post-metal band Mass. Released in 2000 on Man's Ruin. It's very difficult to find any information about this band, so, on a completely unrelated note, you may be interested to know that there are people searching online for the phrase "sword in pussy" almost every day. Without a blog called Velvety Sheath, Glistening Sword, on which is posted an album by the band Harry Pussy, I would never have known this.

Hey there. I was the drummer in mass. We were from munich, germany. I got no problem with you posting the record. It's out of print, man's ruin is long kaputt, and actually I'm glad someone remembers.
Kozik did a gallerytour in 98 and we played at the vernisage, That's how we ended up on Man's Ruin. Didn't do us much good, though.
We did record and self-release a second album by the title "absence of" in 2000. production is a lot more raw, we didn't go into a studio for that one, recorded it ourselves at our practice space. I actually do like that one better. The band broke up in 2001 or so.

Cheers, Sascha

There should be some CDs and Vinyls left of those. If you want to buy a copy, send an email to ernie at gutfeeling.de.

Enjoy, Sascha

Sascha -- Thanks a ton for this, and I'm glad you're OK with me posting your music. I've been neglecting this blog for a while now, but I'll go ahead and make a regular post of "Absence of" as well.

Cheers.
Eric

Doc, thanks for posting the last album. It's a freakin crime how few people have heard Mass...I would have never heard it myself if Mans Ruin hadn't sent me the album for a radio show I was doing at the time.
