About Feral Hive Records
Hi, I'm Nick from the band Worthington's Law, and this is my record label.
At this time, I am exclusively focused on releasing splits of my band and my friends' bands, so I'm not currently accepting demos or inquiries from new artists. Sorry!
About Lathe Cut Records
Lathe Cut Records are made one-at-a-time, in real time, by a real person using an experimental process and 70 year old technology. It is not a pressed record and may have slightly more surface noise or an occasional light distortion in some frequencies, and may sound somewhat different than the original master. The volume will also be a little lower than a modern “post-loudness-war” record, so pump up the volume. It won’t be audiophile, but it ought to be listenable and sound pretty good considering the circumstances of its’ birth. It might also require tonearm and anti-skate adjustment in order to track correctly due to the hard plastic having slightly shallower grooves than a traditional record.
Why Square Shaped Records?
The vendor we work with offers square records, and they're cheaper than round ones for me to order. I pass those savings onto the artists by compensating them with free records.
While the record is a square, the grooves are still round, and it will play just like a round record.
