integrity's comeback album from this weird integ2000 phase came in the form of "to die for" in 2003. it was released by deathwish inc. and it marked the first collaboration of the band and the label. back then deathwish did not care for a vinyl release - dark times. years later in 2010 a389 records took pity on that miserable situation and released a 10" vinyl version, which was re-pressed a few times by now.
i never really fancied a copy because of the format. a full length on a 10" seemed somewhat undesireble. the more i was happy when i heard news that backbite records from germany was about to give "to die for" a proper 12" release. unfortunately i missed out on the two limited marble colour-ways and got the clear red version instead but it is still a looker, though. dwid hellion himself re-vised the artwork (although the original by jacob bennon is lovely too) and of course the sleeve comes with the obligatory invisible ink. musically the record is a scorcher indeed. 300 copies pressed. backbite records. 2019.
