strikedown rec pt 2/4: reflections of internal rain

reflections of internal rain - answers
glancing through the internet store of strikedown records i came across this interesting piece of music. reflections of internal rain is a serbian hardcore band playing a brand of melodic hardcore. this is my first encounter with the band and so i searched for some infos on these guys. unfortunately this proved to be very difficult. they only have an abandoned myspace site but no facebook account, which i find actually very likeable :)
so i can't say what these guys are up to. what i know is that they have a sense of humor. the last song 'army barmy' is a parody to the deathcore genre. it has it all, the downtempo parts, pig squeals, the whole package. funny chaps! the musical side here is, to describe it with one word, solid. nothing too overwhelming but it's cool to have a record of a band from a country that is not known for its outstanding hardcore subculture.
the record is a one sided 12". it comes on thick milky clear vinyl. they made no proper sleeve for this release to save on production costs, i assume. an lp sized sort of insert included instead. on one side the cover art and on the flip side lyrics and credits. a black dust sleeve on top and this 'answers' e.p. is ready to attack your auditory canals.
strikedown records and brain ache records released this to 250 units limited record. 2012.
