a life once lost - iron gag
a band that was on my mind for a long time but i only knew one or two songs and admittedly not very well. so i re-listened to them finding me liking them a lot :) the add to my shopping cart followed immediately. their sound is hard to describe. i think it's modern metal with a stoner rock edge... maybe... but who the hell cares about genre name dropping anyway? it's good music, very unique. listen to it and find out what i mean :) as i gathered some information about the band i found out that this is actually their latest release. and it's from 2007. but they are still around as their twitter account seems to prove. so, i'm waiting for new material, guys!
clear red splatter vinyl + printed dust sleeve. ferret records/suburban home records.
xcall to preservex - validation 7"
this good-bye-7" of call to preserve i just bought because of one good review and the outstanding cover artwork - lovely work! the music indeed is on the same level as the graphics. catchy melodic hardcore that makes me sorry hearing it because there is no chance seeing them live anymore. a christian band with decent lyrics that don't try to proselytize anybody, which is the very one aspect that makes me decide whether listen to a christian hc-band or not.
clear gold vinyl (300 made) + download card. there's a white one limited to 200 copies, but gold looks better in my opinion :) facedown records.
no innocent victim - to burn again
another band i didn't know before. but their music is quite intense. good ol' old school hardcore with a bit mosh. very dynamic and no fillers. i figured that they were a christian band, too. but i couldn't find any sign of that in their lyrics or thank-lists, just the internet told me so. but as i said before, i think it's good if people stand for their beliefs as long as they don't try to tell others what's right or wrong. so bottom line is: i don't care if no innocent victim is christian or not :)
clear gold vinyl. blood & ink records (cd version was released previously by facedown records).
