in last year's december i wrote about avalanche's debut 7" called 'thanatos' and released on worship records. as you might are aware of, my mailorder of trust - per koro - functions also as a label on its own. markus/per koro puts out some real quality stuff and therefore i bought a lot of per koro releases in the past. withers, iron heel, deathrite and so on and so forth. man, i really loved 'thanatos' so naturally i was pleasantly surprised as i got to know about this release.
'among beasts' is basically a re-press of their demo from 2010. this demo was also called 'among beasts' but was self-released and came out on cassette only. the first three songs are from the said demo, come in a re-mastered version and then you get two more songs, of which i don't know the origin of. probably exclusively written for this lp-release or some more songs from the vault. doesn't matter anyway because the musical content rips. not as good as 'thanatos' but extremely worth picking up. check out 'nebuchadnezzar'. dirty doom/sludge/hardcore worship.
the packaging is real nice here. you get a screen-printed fold-around cover on nice thick cardboard, a thick paper insert with all the necessary information concerning this out-put, black dust sleeve with an attached download code and a lovely screen-printed b-side. yeah, good stuff! numbered out of 300 copies. mine is #279. get on it, copies still available. per koro. 2013.
