HUNTING LODGE - Nomad Souls / Tribal Warning Shot+ / The Harvest (Live 1984) (40th Ann.) 3LP
40 Years ago Hunting Lodge was nearing the peak of its fertile “Tribal” period. In celebration of this anniversary is the release of Nomad Souls, Tribal Warning Shot (expanded) and The Harvest (live/expanded). All of the included tracks have been lovingly remastered from the original reels and cassettes, restored and remastered.
Urban Decay, Industrial Tribes fight over buildings and rubble. The future is filled with metallic warlords ruling over the wastelands of the Union. A small group of Cannibal Industrialists take up in the D.C Ruins. This is their manifesto. Seriously though this is a great album, filled with metallic tribal beats, screaming freakouts, and noisy gunshots. Hunting Lodge is an OG Industrial band.
Nomad Souls LP was released in the fall of 1984 on S/M Operations in the U.S.
Tribal Warning Shot 12” 4-track EP was released early 1985 on S/M Operations (U.S.). The title track was remixed with drums added for a 12” 45 release on Normal Records (Germany) soon thereafter. This version appears here (the original mix is included as a digital bonus track).
A new remix of the 1983 7” “Night From Night” b/w “Untitled” is included, along with 2 tracks that appeared on compilation albums and one unreleased track.
The Harvest cassette was a collection of live Hunting Lodge tracks circa 1984. The Detroit show bears the distinction of being the only time Roselle Williams (“The Wolf Hour”) sang live with the band. Included here are two previously unreleased tracks, one from Chicago and the other from Detroit.
This set features a replica of the original S/M Operations Nomad Souls cover, and of the Normal Records 12” art, which was designed by T.M. Caldwell & executed by Trish Damon. The third sleeve features a newly designed back cover by Rolaid Alpo Cola, and an inner panel including the original Harry O. Morris promo poster artwork along with an essay from Graeme Revell. Puppy38 assisted in design and pulled together all of the design elements.
