South African black metal/prog rock purveyors Wildernessking recently released their truly devastating debut full length via indie label Antithetic Records. Interestingly, Antithetic are asking for your help to breathe life in a lovely wax pressing of The Writing of Gods in The Sand. Head on over to the fundraising page to donate a little of what you can and if you're still unsure, there's a stream of the album to check out.
Label owner Shawn Sambol has this to say:
Let's face it, times are tough. Especially when it comes to running a small record label. We've had some really great releases so far, but when sales start to slow, so does our future release schedule! In an effort to continue as planned with our vinyl releases in 2012, we are going to try something a little different. Instead of the traditional pre-order with contests, etc. we are running this fundraiser. Why aren't we using Kickstarter you ask? Simple: they keep too much of the donations, which kind of defeats the purpose! So, we're doing this the DIY way. We've got a funding goal, a deadline, and some awesome incentives for donators at many different price points!
