this is my second and at the same time last wacken 2015 festival pick. to begin with an introductory story, i stayed in bremen for a weekend in april this year. it was my birthday present from my girl and because she knows what i like, the weekend had some spots for visits at local record stores. one of them and apparantly the best sorted of the bunch was hot shot records. unfortunately some festival was taking place at that weekend and so the whole metal vinyl corner went there to be checked out by enthusiastic metal worshippers.
when entering the in-field area at wacken festival, one had to enter one of two more check points to get into the stage-field of the three open air stages. the first day i was taking the left entrance into the stage-field, on friday i was walking through the right entrance and then, taking a look to the right, there was this big tent with a big 'hot shot records' sign above it. finally i got to the store anyway. searching the vinyl boxes i came across this shining, new copy of aborted's e.p. release, called 'coronary reconstruction'.
back when it came out, five years ago, i bought the cd digipak version because vinyl wasn't of any importance to me at the time. since i started collecting records in late 2011 i wanted a coloured copy but this proved to be very difficult for a reasonable price. understandably i was delighted to get a new copy for retail price. musically this is great. three of the four new songs also made it onto the later full length 'global flatline'. the last song is a well-made cover of entombed's 'left hand path'. 180gr clear red vinyl of unknown quantity. century media. 2010.
