Colorado extreme avant-war metal duo COBALT, following the acclaim of 2007’s monumental Eater Of Birds opus (which ranked in top year-end lists in publications such as BW&BK;, Terrorizer, and Unrestrained!) are prepared to unleash a limited stopgap album/glorified EP of sorts via Profound Lore Records to precede their next full length album (due early 2009).

Uniquely and oddly entitled Landfill Breastmilk Beast, this special elongated EP release (which will clock in close to an hour’s length and sold very cheaply) will contain the tracks ‘Stomach’ (that will appear on Cobalt’s next full-length), ‘Extinction’ (a cover from New York punk crust anarchists NAUSEA), and the epic 'Ritual Use Of Fire' song in its entirety, along with an experimental hidden track.

Ritual Use Of Fire, for those who can recall, was the title of the three acoustic/ambient interludes found on Eater Of Birds. But they were merely segments of an entire one-track ambient piece (clocking in around the 35 minute mark) created and pieced together solely by singer Phil McSorley during a time of isolation when Cobalt was temporarily on ice and before McSorley joined the U.S. Military and became stationed in Korea. Originally Ritual Use Of Fire was the idea McSorley had for a one-track ambient album, that was initially set to be separate from Cobalt before the aforementioned segments found their way into Eater Of Birds. But now Ritual Use Of Fire will be presented in its entirety (and slightly updated from the original by McSorley himself for this release); definitely one of the most genuine, human, and unique pieces of music that has been displayed amongst Profound Lore's releases.

Look for the limited release of Landfill Breastmilk Beast to be released late June sometime. For more info visit www.profoundlorerecords.com.
