Howls from the Hills, the long out-of-print second album from Capital City makers of metallic murk Dead Meadow, will be reissued May 14 in the UK by Xemu Records.

Howls from the Hills is the second entry in the Dead Meadow reissue series; the first, their self-titled debut, was redone last year, while a collection of Peel Sessions recorded in Fugazi's studio is on the horizon. Meadow heads should also be on the lookout for their next album, Old Growth, which will bury its roots later this fall from Matador Records.

Dead Meadow have a few British dates off in the distance, with the promise of more to come on their website. Those, plus the Howls tracklist, after you click.
