i always try to add at least one more record to an order that has only one item yet. it's a complete irrational act that makes me think i saved a bit on shipping. in the end i just pay for another record which usually bears no proportion to the amount saved on postage. i believe, this 7" of stillborn right here, called 'degrading culture' must have been such an addition.
stillborn hails from vienna, austria. lovely city. been there on holidays last year, the vinyl yield was a shame though, but that's another story or better no story at all. the band is around since 2012 or something and this is their debut release. they play some gritty and metallic hardcore that reminds me of coldburn or expire. pretty good stuff but not too unique, which is their only weakness.
check out the band's bandcamp page. you can listen and download 'degrading culture' for free, after that you can head over to their big cartel and buy the physical copy. by the way, stillborn released their second 7" called 'forced' this year and pressed it to vinyl as well. i might check that out. 'degrading culture' however comes on nice yellow with black splatter vinyl out of 250 copies. self-released. 2013.
