today's post will mark the beginning of a little series. back in late 2013 i ordered a bunch of seven inches from the u.k. and now i feel ready to clear them from my to-blog-pile. furthermore i believe that my favourite u.k. dude jake will most likely dig this string of posts because they are all speedowax related. first is a band called will to die with their 'mass grave' compilation. this releases puts the first two e.p.'s of will to die on one handy seven inch disc.
on display is the 'iron fist' e.p. from 2010 and the 'don't tread on tennessee' e.p. from one year later. if you wonder what these guys sound like, their facebook info page has you covered. they state hatebreed, all out war, sepultura and strife as their influences, well, that pretty much sums up their sound. if you want to get a shot of their metallic hardcore then i advise you to check out their bandcamp page with all the band's releases so far. i read that they have a full length in the works. might be interesting to invent some time checking it out.
speedowax pressed 200 copies of 'mass grave' in total. 100 on black and 100 copies on clear yellow vinyl. then speedowax came up with five differently coloured sleeves. 40 for each colour which are purple, red, green, black and blue. i saw a numbered black vinyl copy with a blue sleeve out of 40. so i don't know if speedowax threw in the vinyl randomly or if there are 20 black and 20 yellow copies for each sleeve. my copy, however wasn't numbered. speedowax records. 2012.
