ignite is around for over twenty years and when hardcore bands manage to stay in the game that long and when their new records went as fast at pre-order stage as 'a war against you' did, you know they damn well know how to write some crackers. i snagged a white vinyl version on pre-order at century media distro and the more limited colour-ways start to fetch quite some pennies over at those second hand market places already.
is this buzz justified, you might ask? a clear 'yes' is the only possible answer. ignite still celebrate that catchy melodic hardcore-punk sound of their starting days and managed to transfer it into another new decade without sounding like a copy of theirselves. all is fresh and crisp and most of all relevant, musically as well as lyrically. check out the song 'this is a war' for the culminated essence of this album.
the presentation is as lovely as it is simple. a slip sleeve made of fancy matte card, a printed dust sleeve, a cd of the full album and finally this lovely 180g pristine white vinyl out of 100 copies. according to discogs century media pressed astonishing 5.000 copies in the first press. here is the complete breakdown because i can't be arsed to write it down by myself, century media. 2016.
