all out war released a new record recently and i ordered through a german distro and am still waiting for it to show up. in the mean time i thought it would be very proper to post up my latest all out war find. it's their full length from 2010, 'into the killing fields' namely. it was one of those records i have on my mental want list and which i would pick up when the circumstances were right. when i was ordering the red sparowes 'every red heart shines...' from green hell's discogs shop, i clicked on the 'has other items i want' button and was directed to a new copy of 'into the killing fields'.
the price was very reasinable and so i added it to the order. here we are with this beast of an album. i always liked all out war's crossover sound out of old school death metal, thrash metal and hardcore and i do like their previous work, but 'into the killing fields' tops it all off. furious riffing, groove all over the place and sheer aggression molten into thirty-five minutes on plastic. sure, they don't look over the rim of their musical tea cup, but hey, i don't want all out war to do anything else but deliver the meanest kick in the nuts possible.
'into the killing fields' was the fourth and for the time being the last release on chicago's victory records. victory pressed two colour-ways back then. clear with smoke vinyl out of 100 copies and my clear red with smoke out of 400 copies. the artwork for this album is pretty nice too. love this dark comic style and the vinyl colour is the perfect match for the colouring of the cover. of the victory releases i am only missing the 'condemned to suffer' record. i am hoping for a re-press fro record store day or something similar. victory records. 2010.
