one of my guilty pleasures has always been earth crisis. i like their old stuff as well as their post-hiatus stuff of more recent dates. in november 2013, when i ordered alot of victory records stuff on their black friday sale - i already posted about the between the buried and me records - i paid a considerable chunk of money and was therefore allowed to choose a free item.
i could pick a free cd. when i was browsing through the compact disc releases, i came across the path of resistance debut full length 'who dares wins'. i knew this band because of its earth crisis side-project character, but i never really listened to them. with the possibility of getting the album for free, i checked some tunes on the net, liked them and threw the cd in my cart.
to snag a vinyl copy for a reasonable price was on my agenda ever since, but not on top of the list. therefore i was delighted to see that victory planned on re-releasing it on coloured vinyl for record store day 2015. last year's rsd was a disaster where i came up short on all vinyl i wanted. i got all my stuff afterwards through the good ol' internet.
so i didn't bother going out at this year's saturday, eighteenth of april. as the path of resistance record was the only one i wanted anyway, i thought i could easily get a copy online or maybe on a later date at burnout store. the album didn't seem to attract alot of listeners on this particular day, and so it was still waiting fo me at burnout last weekend. loveley presentation. thick cardboard slip sleeve, heavy white vinyl and a nice insert with the story of how this album came to be. 800 made. victory records. 2015.
by the way, the path of resistance is not to be confused with the german nazi band of the same name. educate yourself and overcome this cretinism. fuck off, nazi scum!
