all out war - dying gods

five years of waiting. finally after five years all out war comes up with a new release. somewhere along the way i wasn't sure anymore if the band still exists, but here we are with 'dying gods'. it's not a real full length unfortunately, rather an e.p. but i am not really complaining here. i am fine with a handful of songs as long as they can answer the expectations. and damn, they can!
my uncle already listened to the songs and was really enthusiastic about them, therefore i was even more excited to get it. unfortunately i wasn't involved in the pre-order process, because organized crime records is an u.s. label and i didn't want to pay the outrageous shipping costs. and so i waited for a european distributor to have it in stock.
i set high hopes in the record dealer of my trust, per koro records, and markus did not disappoint. as usual. as i didn't order from organized crime directly it was inevitable to get a copy of the least limited colour way. the solid tan would have looked nicer, but i am really okay with this clear blood red version. it matches the cover art with the red all out war lettering quite good.
all out war delivers hard on this one. you liked their previous albums? you will love 'dying gods'. nothing innovative here but hell, who wanted that anyway? check out the whole e.p. here. really love the presentation on this one. matte card sleeve with awesome art work, folded insert with all lyrics and some more great art and this nice shade of clear red for the vinyl. let the full length come! unknown quantity. organized crime records. 2015.
