{"product_id":"rangda-the-heretics-bargain-vinyl","title":"Rangda - The Heretic's Bargain (Vinyl) |","description":"Rangda! They planted a False Flag in the blood-soaked turf\nof the contemporary rock-politik. They were Formerly Extinct\nbefore you ever even THOUGHT about giving it up for good!\nNow, five years since ascending to collective Rangdadom, the\nflower-plower trio are back in your phase! This time around,\nRangda strikes The Heretic’s Bargain for you — but have a\ncare, foolish listener; not only is it an offer you can’t refuse,\nthis here’s a deal you can’t repeal! Ever since Sir Richard Bishop, Ben Chasny and Chris\nCorsano banded together, the supergroup moniker has\nstuck in Rangda’s collective craw. We only meant: gee, what\na super group! It’s boss stuff, kids! But whatever, and what’s\ndone is done — The Heretic’s Bargain takes a nail gun to that\nidea’s coffin and buries it ALIVE, firmly reinforcing Rangda\nas a band with a shared intuition, instead of the sum of\nthree separate (though insanely great) parts. After years of\nrecording and touring together, Bishop and Chasny’s guitar\nplaying has mutated via some kind of lateral gene transfer of\ntheir musical DNA, and the rhythms ridden by Rangda feel\nmutually funded (though Corsano’s beat-making is as finelined\nand rawly inspired as ever). With The Heretic’s Bargain,\nit’s harder to tell who wrote what, and Rangda (and you) is\nbetter off for it. The Heretic’s Bargain takes territories that Rangda explored\non their first two albums — the abraded fury and free\nforms off False Flag and the serpentine Rang-dang-doodle\nsongatechture from Formerly Extinct — and evolves them\nfurther into a grand unified I-know-I-don’t-know-what-it-is-\n(but-I-like-it) development in music. The Heretic’s Bargain is\nthe sound of Rangda — and, without getting all rock-opera\non you (but a little AOR, to be sure), The Heretic’s Bargain\nis best taken as a whole, from the initial locked-down snare\/\nguitar strafing and tension-rattling choruses of “To Melt The\nMoon” to the side-long “Mondays Are Free at the Hermetic\nMuseum.” Lot\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Drag City\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatalog Number: LP-DC-633\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rangda","offers":[{"title":"- ROCK *NEW*","offer_id":45084419850355,"sku":"IIF4KQ-BJTL-PT","price":24.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/rock-new_qlg9g.jpg?v=1780948020","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/rangda-the-heretics-bargain-vinyl","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
