congress deformity split 7"

long time no see. don't know when i did the last good-life-belgium-metal-hardcore related post. so here we are with another congress record. they are my favourite european metalcore band from that prolific period which spanned from the mid-nineties to the early 00's. they had such an unique sound combined with great attitude, that is simply unmatched to me.
this split came out before the release of their full length "angry with the sun". before actually dropping the needle on this 7", i wasn't really aware of the fact that the congress song "exhume the truth" is also part of "angry...". the b-side band called deformity was unknown to me. and their song "god defined" doesn't grab me enough to investigate further.
the deformity cover looks funny though. does anyone know if there is a deeper sense to that cover eluding me? the face looks somewhat familiar. anyway, i scored this one on ebay for next to nothing. there were 2000 copies of this split pressed in total. 1000 on clear vinyl, 500 on red vinyl and another 500 copies on clear blue vinyl. comes with the jukebox hole. good life recordings. 1997.
