until the end – blood in the
ink
another ebay score. actually i wanted the 'let the world burn' 7“ that appeared in
2002 on red and white vinyl. i saw it on the bay and got reminded of
the fact that until the end are one of the bands i know by name for
ages but never came around to check them out. so i listened to a few
songs on youtube from that 'let the world burn'. great moshcore with mean pete on
vocals whom i know from his last band xbishopx. problem was that i
got outbid on that double 7“ release. there i was with that ugly
feeling of wanting something badly, not getting it and having no
chance of immediate compensation.
but then my sometimes well sorted memory stepped in. not long ago i
bought some stuff off a guy from austria (unearth, cataract, ddd) and
somewhere in the back of my mind there was this tiny glimpse of an
reminiscence that he had an until the end record to offer. and boy
was i right! it was their first full length out on eulogy records.
at the time alveran records from germany did kind of the european
distribution for eulogy records. additionally they did some vinyl
releases for eulogy cd releases. 'blood in the ink' was among them. alveran pressed two colour ways. one clear red, which is a bit more
limited i believe, and on clear vinyl. i don't know about the pressing informations on this one. i paid
something in the range of €15 all in all. good price to me.
the music however is simply great. you like older throwdown stuff or
sworn enemy? you'll love until the end! sad they aren't around any
more... comes with cd sized booklet.
alveran records. 2001.
