uuhh baby, i was excited when i saw a re-press for the third decrepit birth record pop up on several german distros, i tell you that. i really loved the last record "axis mundi" from 2017 and therefore needed "polarity" badly. the problem was that i couldn't find info on the colour of vinyl and which label was releasing it.
i presumed it was nuclear blast because it was the label the album/cd version was initially released on. i asked them if they offered colour vinyl and got a negative reply, black vinyl only. so i searched deeper in the internet and found out that agonia records from poland was responsible for this vinyl edition - and they had a colour option. i ordered a copy in no time.
musically "polarity" clearly beats "axis mundi" to second place if you ask me. this album is such a whirlwind of progressivity, technicality and artistry, it leaves me breathless after each listen. agonia released it in a slip sleeve with a printed dust sleeve and a poster of the nice dudes who formed this version of the band in 2010. lovely opaque orange vinyl and all hand-numbered. #59/100. agonia records. 2019.
