Milwaukee trio Moon Curse has signed a deal with Bilocation Records/Kozmik Artifactz to reissue the band's 2012 debut next year.
The self-titled album, which has already had two pressings, will be issued on 180-gram vinyl, sleeved in a gatefold jacket and will be hand-numbered and limited.
In addition, the record will be re-mastered and will feature an extra track, "Seminary Woods."
A press release from the Berlin, Germany-based label, issued yesterday, reads:
"Moon Curse walk with intent to play loud and proud! Keith bangs the drums, Rochelle strums the Squier P bass, and Matt breaks Orange amplifiers and howls. One could cite Sabbath (duh!), Zeppelin, or a handful of other protometal-fuzz-stoner-whatever-rock as influnces, but you get the idea! You know it! You love it! so ... GET CURSED!
"We are proud to announce that mighty doomsters Moon Curse signed with us for an expanded re-release of their epic debut LP!"
