bleeding
through – the truth
being in a
physical stores and buying records is very much different to sitting at your
home flattening your ass in front of your comp and ordering wax. the finger on
the trigger is much more loosely when you hold the actual record in your hands
instead of staring at a picture on your screen. sometimes it’s an advantage,
sometimes disadvantage. i could have bought a copy of ‘the truth’ many times
before. on discogs an offer was hanging around for quite some time, sold by
green hell. a funny connection because green hell is the vinyl supplier of
underdog store. just like burnout store …the world is small…
the discogs
option was on white w/ black splatter vinyl. i wasn’t sure if there were more
colour ways or if it was the only one. the copy i had in front of me was sealed
and so i asked the girl behind the counter if she could slice it open, so i could check. as customer friendly as she was it was no problem. i checked.
clear vinyl. well, i hoped for the white splatter but hey, it was cheaper compared to the net and – instant gratification! it was mine.
i’m not sure if i would like ‘the truth’ as much as i do now if it was a release of 2013. i mean, i didn’t even like it that much
back then when it came out. the clear vocals are pretty cheesy, i admit. but
somehow it grew on me over the years. has probably something to do with the
memories i connect with that particular time in my life. ‘dearly demented’
still one of the best songs these guys have ever written. the album was
released in 2006 by trustkill records, which listened the vinyl version to
forsaken records. couldn’t find much information on them but ‘the truth’ seems
to be their only output. 500 on white w/ black splatter and another 500 on
clear vinyl. released on forsaken records in 2008.
