sometimes my memory just escapes me. in this case i have no clue how i stumbled upon lifeless. what i know is that i listened to the 'intro/born dead' song on youtube and then i remember being sold immediately. if you like your hardcore pumping through like a steamroller then lifeless is just right up your alley. good mix between 2-step-parts, breakdowns and apocalyptic melodies - i even felt reminded of some kind of type-o-negative vibe going on, unstoppable. lyrics are pretty dark and negative but not primitive. by no means they are very innovative but they're damn good just for what they are.
this u.s. based band is around since 2008 and even made it over the pond twice. nlftw is their first release and it was released by harvcore records. never heard of them though. i checked their current roaster and only know agitator because of their new record on six feet under rec. that's it, besides a turmoil re-release. lifeless has a new 7" out called 'if i could be anyone but me'. need to get my greedy hands on that.
the record comes on nice marbled clear orange vinyl. looks pretty decent! additionally you get a download dropcard for a digital copy. cool, too. pressing info is as follows: 100 clear-red mix, 100 navy blue (for record release), 300 translucent orange and 500 on maroon. as you can see i didn't get the most common pressing this time, which is usually the case when i order from a distro. just like with the previous h2o record. lucky me, haha.
harvcore records. 2011.
