let's start the new year off with yet another record from the vault. when i actually bought this 7" a year ago it was a new release. by now another cruel hand full length came out called 'the negatives', but 'born into debt, we all owe a death' killed it for me. i really liked their stuff up to 'lock and key', which reminds me that i need a physical copy of this album, 'vigilant citizen' was different but still cool but this 7" doesn't do anything for me.
the band went into a new direction and it's just not my cup of tea anymore. that's all. check it out for yourself here. for this release cruel hand teamed up with closed casket activities, while 'vigilant citizen' which came out the same year was released on triple-b records. 'the negatives' appeared on yet another label, hopeless records from the states.
closed casket pressed 1700 copies in total. 250 on blue with orange splatter, 500 on gold with black haze, 750 on my gold vinyl and 200 copies on black that the label actually didn't order at the pressing plant but the plant pressed accidentally. reality records from belgium did a compilation 7" with the two 'vigilant citizen' songs and the two a-side songs of this release. the b-side song is a in cold blood cover. closed casket activities. 2013.
