i am heresy - s/t

i am heresy is some kind of an all star band, or better an all star's child band. but from the beginning. i am heresy was founded by bosetsfire vocalist nathan gray. he wanted to create a darker and heavier outlet compared to his main band. he picked his own son for playing the guitar and another boysetsfire offspring on the second guitar, joshua latshaw's son jonah. although the latter isn't part of the band anymore, it was a lot of family playing for i am heresy.
i stumbled across this record at burnout store hamburg. i never heard of them before, the sticker on the front telling me that it was a side project of bosetsfire singer gray, didn't tell me anything either because i am not familiar with their work at all. i only liked the simple and clear cover art. while listening to it in the store, the record's pissed off energy instantly grabbed me. i immediately loved the band's dark metal/punk aproach.
check out the whole album at the magic bullet records bandcamp. speaking of, 'i am heresy' got an u.s. pressing on magic bullet records. it comes on gold, red/pink split and on my lovely purple/pink split vinyl. unfortunately i wasn't able to find any pressing numbers. the european edition comes on gold splatter and via end hits records, which also released the euro version of the latest bane record. magic bullet. 2012.
