per koro: lie & wait/overdose, reign supreme, 6rtk/absidia

lie & wait-overdose split 7"
since i already call led astray + the awakening my own i wanted to have all their releases. there are just two more, two split releases to be precise. one with a band called lmf from 2006 and another with overdose from 2007 of which i talk about here. at first i ordered it from the band's own web shop. in vain, it appeared because the band isn't around no more and that's why they don't run it anymore. so, like so many times before, i checked the per koro shop and made a find. the lie and wait song is great. the overdose side is cool too. solid hardcore punk with a unique singing style. don't know if overdose is still there or if they released more stuff but i'm not too stoked to find out.
 lie and wait side with way more swirl
overdose side with just a tiny bit of the purple colour.
grey w/ purple swirl vinyl. 400 made. team science records/triple b records. 2007.

reign supreme - american violence 7"
i really loved their first full length album testing the limits of infinite and so i just needed more! this was the forerunner in 2008 and it's just lovely :) great modern hardcore with a high level of energy. i missed them live in hamburg because of an lack of information, damn it! got to catch them some other time.
while my fellow blogger j@screamingforrecords can be quite sure of the pressing number of his colour variation i don't really know what i have here. the info on the deathwish records (to which malfunction records belongs) site says the following: 300 red w/ black haze, 700 red w/ black splatter and 1000 red. so is my white w/ pink splatter of a 2nd pressing or what?

six reasons to kill/absidia split - the morphology of fear
i know that this split exists for quite some time (since 2004 or something) but i never felt like i need to own it. that was mainly because i'm not a big 6rtk fan. i know some later stuff and they are an ok band but nothing more. checking the cheapo section at per koro i found it on coloured vinyl and saw myself kind of drawn to it. i listened to the absidia songs and knew why. they're great! edge metal in the vain of heaven shall burn! good stuff. still don't really like the 6rtk part but absidia alone made this worth the purchase.
wonderful presentation! lovely artwork + lp sized booklet + opaque brown w/ black splatter vinyl. cd version by bastardized recordings. vinyl version by per koro records. 2002.
