From the moment the first funereal notes toll, Tlamanalli immerses the listener in a world of ancient rites and brutal reverence. The very name Tzompantli refers to the skull racks used in Mesoamerican civilizations to display the heads of the sacrificed, a stark and powerful symbol for the music they create. This offering, Tlamanalli—meaning "an offering" in the Nahuatl language—lives up to its name, presenting a gift of unparalleled heaviness and cultural depth.
Forged by members of celebrated acts such as Xibalba, Tzompantli expertly weaves the earth-shattering weight of funeral doom with the guttural ferocity of old-school death metal. This punishing foundation is then interwoven with the haunting sounds of indigenous folk instrumentation, creating a soundscape that is at once mercilessly heavy and achingly atmospheric. The result is a sound that is both a declaration of cultural pride and an unforgiving audial assault.

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
