Old Man Gloom was supposed to release one album named The Ape of God on November 11 via Profound Lore records. Now the band has revealed that they'll be releasing two albums named The Ape of God next week… but it's not a double album. There's just two records and they're both called The Ape of God. Cool? Cool.
We should have seen this coming, honestly. Every time Profound Lore posted about the record, there would always be an exponential next to the name denoting there would be two… but we're all shitty at math and apparently missed it. Oh well!
Oh, this actually gets better. Did you download a leak of the record? Did you review the record? Jokes on you! The promotional version of the record is a fake record.
"Guess what, assholes. The Ape Of God is two entirely different albums. If you downloaded some leaked shit, you don't have either. You have some bogus version we gave to press, cuz we knew those jerks would leak it (if you reviewed that fake record positively, thank you. We're just THAT good).
We will always trick you.
We will always trick you.
We will always trick you."
So I guess technically there are three The Ape of God's out there now? Who cares, tis is all hilarious and an amazing publicity stunt on behalf of the band and label.
