{"product_id":"the-heretics-bargain-cd","title":"The Heretic's Bargain [CD]","description":"Rangda! They planted a False Flag in the blood-soaked turf\r\nof the contemporary rock-politik. They were Formerly Extinct\r\nbefore you ever even THOUGHT about giving it up for good!\r\nNow, five years since ascending to collective Rangdadom, the\r\nflower-plower trio are back in your phase! This time around,\r\nRangda strikes The Heretics Bargain for you  but have a\r\ncare, foolish listener; not only is it an offer you cant refuse,\r\nthis heres a deal you cant repeal! Ever since Sir Richard Bishop, Ben Chasny and Chris\r\nCorsano banded together, the supergroup moniker has\r\nstuck in Rangdas collective craw. We only meant: gee, what\r\na super group! Its boss stuff, kids! But whatever, and whats\r\ndone is done  The Heretics Bargain takes a nail gun to that\r\nideas coffin and buries it ALIVE, firmly reinforcing Rangda\r\nas a band with a shared intuition, instead of the sum of\r\nthree separate (though insanely great) parts. After years of\r\nrecording and touring together, Bishop and Chasnys guitar\r\nplaying has mutated via some kind of lateral gene transfer of\r\ntheir musical DNA, and the rhythms ridden by Rangda feel\r\nmutually funded (though Corsanos beat-making is as finelined\r\nand rawly inspired as ever). With The Heretics Bargain,\r\nits harder to tell who wrote what, and Rangda (and you) is\r\nbetter off for it. The Heretics Bargain takes territories that Rangda explored\r\non their first two albums  the abraded fury and free\r\nforms off False Flag and the serpentine Rang-dang-doodle\r\nsongatechture from Formerly Extinct  and evolves them\r\nfurther into a grand unified I-know-I-dont-know-what-it-is-\r\n(but-I-like-it) development in music. The Heretics Bargain is\r\nthe sound of Rangda  and, without getting all rock-opera\r\non you (but a little AOR, to be sure), The Heretics Bargain\r\nis best taken as a whole, from the initial locked-down snare\/\r\nguitar strafing and tension-rattling choruses of To Melt The\r\nMoon to the side-long Mondays Are Free at the Hermetic\r\nMuseum. Lots of ground is covered, but its all part of the\r\nsame earth. Until you fall off the edge in the end.\r\nFurther informing Rangdas unity are the recording-mixing-\r\nmastering team of Jason Meagher and Patrick Klem,\r\nboth of whom worked on Formerly Extinct. For The Heretics\r\nBargain, both are back again behind the controls  at a safe\r\ndistance from the band, naturally!\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rangda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45526049554630,"sku":"544YVE-6896-33","price":17.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/8085\/0374\/files\/rangda-the-heretics-bargain_RyyZG.jpg?v=1770754278","url":"https:\/\/paladinvinyl.com\/es\/products\/the-heretics-bargain-cd","provider":"Paladin Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
