lifeless is a heavy hardcore band from new jersey. some call this tough guy hardcore, which i think, is a stupid term for describing aggressive music but if you hear that term, you know what they sound like. they released their first full length in 2011, called 'n.l.f.t.w.' and it was a solid slab of crushing metal induced hardcore with a dark tinge in the refrains ala type o negative. i liked the record and so i bought their follow-up 7" when i got the chance to.
this one is called 'if i could be anyone but me' and offers stuff in the same vein as the full length. the sound quality was improved and the 7" sounds real forceful and not that hollow as 'n.l.f.t.w.'. solid stuff all the way through. listen to 'reflections' and 'fame'. they have a good sense for energetic songwriting and damn, it grooves!
this piece of vinyl was, just as the first full length, released by harvcore records from the states. they came up with a bunch of nice vinyl colours. i ordered via per koro, so my colour was a mistery until the point the copy reached me. i got the blue/greyish 'corpse' vinyl. bad boy! on the harvcore page my 'corpse' vinyl isn't listed, but with cross reference from discogs this must be the purple one out of 100 copies. but i can't be sure. harvcore records. 2012.
