what a record! i have this baby in my possession for one and a half year by now and i am finally getting around posting about it. shame on me, since it is so good. back then, in 2012, 'sentenced to life' got all the love on many vinyl blogs i read regulary. at first the cover really put me off. looked kind of stupid. but after some more warmly recommendations i finally checked what the buzz was all about.
man, when it first hit me, it was totally by surprise. this shit was heavy. this shit was crushing. this shit was good. plus i really began to like that cover art. i needed a damn copy. by the time, in mid 2013 i was helplessly too late to snag a coloured copy from a german distro and southern lord didn't have their euro store yet. so coloured copies would come pricey, either way. so i hoped for ebay.
you know the feeling of flicking through the racks at a physical store and then, out of the blue, you find something totally unexpected? well, with this copy of 'sentenced to life' it was just that. it was sealed when i pulled it at burnout store. so i tried to open it as unnoticed as possible. i fiddled at the shrink, half expecting black vinyl, just to finally see the red splatter polyvinyl platter. good day. don't know the pressing info on this clear red w/ black and white splatter. southern lord. 2012.
