Boom Bap Labs x Amen Abandoned Vault Vol 7 -WAV-

welcome aboard

Ships of Hagoth is a digital-first literary magazine featuring creative nonfiction and theoretical essays by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Where other LDS-centric publications often look inward at the LDS tradition, we seek literary works that look outward through the curious, charitable lens of faith.

Highlights include “Cracked Marble” (a soul sample that sounds like it’s dissolving in real time) and “Drain Pipe Sermon” (a bass-and-vinyl-rust loop that demands a ghostface verse). The drum one-shots are predictably solid—punchy kicks, slappy snares with actual character—but the real gold is in the texture layers: radio interference, footstep foley, reversed piano tails.

Here’s an interesting, descriptive review tailored for fans of gritty, sample-based hip-hop production: Lost Tapes from a Parallel 90s – Hauntingly Beautiful Decay

If you’re after pristine, 4k-resolution beats, look elsewhere. But if you want your MPC to smell like basement dust and forgotten reel-to-reel magic, Abandoned Vault Vol 7 is essential. Just be ready to spend an hour just listening to the loops before you even chop—because every sound tells a story.

★★★★½ (4.5/5)

From the first few WAVs, you’re hit with that signature Amen grit: lo-fi warmth, degraded tape hiss, and chords that feel like they’ve been excavated from a forgotten 1994 basement studio. But Vol 7 digs deeper. The melodic loops here are melancholic without being sappy—think DJ Shadow meets John Carpenter scoring a noir set in a rain-soaked parking lot .

Let’s be honest: most “vault” packs are just recycled stabs and dusty drum breaks dressed up in eerie marketing. Boom Bap Labs x Amen Abandoned Vault Vol 7 is not that. This is the sonic equivalent of finding a cracked VHS tape in an abandoned subway control room—flickering, damaged, but weirdly alive.

A CALL FOR

SUB
MISS
IONS

We are hoping—for “one must needs hope”—for creative nonfiction, theoretical essays, and craft essays that seek radical new ways to explore and express theological ideas; that are, like Hagoth, “exceedingly curious.”

We favor creative nonfiction that can trace its lineage back to Michel de Montaigne. Whether narrative, analytical, or devotional, these essays lean ruminative, conversational, meandering, impressionistic, and are reluctant to wax didactic. 

As for theoretical essays: we welcome work that playfully and charitably explores the wide world of arts & letters—especially works created from differing religious, non-religious, and even irreligious perspectives—through the peculiar lens of a Latter-day Saint.

We read and publish submissions as quickly as possible, and accept simultaneous submissions.
