per koro: knuckledust, throwdown

actually i ordered "life of agony - river runs red" with these other fine records, but the per koro guy said that he was sorry and the record was a "shop-corpse" and not available. so i just have to keep my eyes open for it. but now to the records i actually got:

knuckledust - time won't heal this
in celebration of the london based band's 15th anniversary, gsr music decided to re-release their debut record in a re-mastered version and on vinyl, too. i remember seeing them live in 2003 on resistance tour with ignite, madball and suicidal tendencies and liking the punk bass player with the iro hair :) i little bit lost track on them since then but it's a very good debut record in the vein of old hatebreed or madball. very lovely vinyl presentation!

throwdown - haymaker/vendetta 
foremost i wanted this double lp release because of "haymaker". the only throwdown album i know that i love from first to last tune (but i have to admit i don't know their two previous records). relentless straight edge hardcore that just makes you wanna move! "vendetta" i owned on cd some years ago but i sold it on ebay. having it now on vinyl again i remember why i sold it - just a bit too slow sometimes, but some real good songs on it nevertheless. i like it more now then in the past!
i checked some pics on the net before i purchased it informing myself about the colours. i saw it on yellow and blue vinyl. what i got is a different colour press with which i'm more satisfied :)
