die young invade split 7"

a german saying goes 'all good things are three'. taking this literally, i obtained another record from ewald. the third one and another low priority record, that i knew would come in great condition and for a good price, when taking it from ewald. i'm talking about another die young release. this time in the shape of their split with invade.
i never heard anything about the band invade nor did i even heard a song of them. so this was kind of interesting to check out. they play some nineties metal influenced hardcore. morning again or arkangel came to my mind. at least this my impression listening to their one and only song on this split. solid stuff. the die young part was a bit disappointing. not that the songs weren't good, but they are also on their full length 'graven images' which i already knew. so nothing new to me here.
the record cover is pretty grim, depicting an third world kid on a landfill looking for food or other useful things to make it through the day. while in the background you can see some kind of combine piling up the waste of the western so called civilisation. the back cover is just as intense showing a big slum with a mother and her kid in front of it. the art reflects to one hundred percent the messages of both bands. well thought out. 1000 copies made with 125 on blue splatter vinyl, 275 on green white split vinyl and 600 on white vinyl. double or nothing records. 2007.
