finally i found me a copy of the second kingdom of sorow album. after i had the self-titled debut for years, i snagged this grey marble vinyl sucker off ebay eventually. record is superb just as suspected. wouldn't it be great if kirk windstein and jamey jasta were to team up again? it's been eleven years now, so i doubt it... but who knows... relapse records and 1.000 copies pressed. 2010.

integrity - closure
vile creature - glory, glory! apathy took helm
this is a sludge/doom two piece from canada and they are a couple, too. saw them a few times via social media and thought they were cute but never really checked them out. this changed when the new record was released and boy, it's a cracker! do yourself a favour and take a listen! 250 copies on clear with black swirl via prosthetic records.

after the burial - in dreams
the album was released in 2010 and to its ten year anniversary, sumerian records came up with its first ever vinyl release for their x-mas calendar. i waited like an idiot for the record to sell out in the u.s. store. when i pre.ordered the latest born of osiris record from the u.k. store, i was more than happy to find the record being still available there. didn't hesitate and scooped one of 250 copies.
born of osiris - angel or alien
the band's last two records "tomorrow we die alive" and "soul sphere" were pretty good but to me, they couldn't reach the bar that "the discovery" set in 2011. now ten years later and after the very promising e.p. "the simulation", boo released this banger of an album."angel or alien" is proggy djent metal in perfection. this colour-way is limited to 300 copies and released through sumerian records.
