discogs: xbishopx

xbishopx - suicide party

another vacant space in my shelf fills in. as stated before this release was pretty high on my wantlist and not long after i wrote the linked post it showed up on discogs for $11. it took about a nano second to switch from my e-mail account with the info mail to the discogs site and i ordered it straight away (maybe i exaggerate a bit time wise but this was the way it felt :). the description said it was sealed with a corner a bit creased. it arrived in the described shape, the creased corner didn't really bother me and i was just pleased to be the owner of a complete xbishopx collection (at least what i call 'complete'. i know that some collectors will scrunch their nose while reading this because i don't have all colour variations). 

the music on this is, again, superb! it fits the time it came out (2006). a lot more break down influenced as 'drugs' and the 'asylum' 7". fast and dirty heavy hardcore with straight forward lyrics. plus lovely artwork (pill-mouth, cocaine-nose, smoke-head, booze-belly... they are all there :).

white with multi-colour splatter vinyl. 300 made. xseventh daggerx records.

dead truth records: 2x xbishopx 7"

xbishopx - bless the dead 7"

this 7" came out in 2007, one year after their first full length "suicide party" but was actually recorded as a demo in 2004. the three songs are quite heavy and they obviously stood true to their sound as "drugs" is pretty much in the same vein. as an extra cover song you get the most apparent band covered there is for an edge band. almighty minor threat!

lovely three-way colour split. didn't find pressing informations. dead truth records.

xbishopx - asylum

this is their latest release from 2009. the two songs on side 1 is regular xbishopx quality. short, heavy, direct, dynamic. you gotta love it! side 2 contains a further seems forever cover song "pictures of shorelines". the singer gets even melodic. chanting actually :) surprising but cool, somehow.
clear green vinyl. didn't find pressing info, either. dead truth records.

since their "drugs"-release has really grown on me, i'm excited to get the whole vinyl discography of them. the only piece that's missing is the "suicide party" 12". unlike the other stuff (all released by dead truth records) "suicide party" was released by seventh dagger records and is sold out, unfortunately. ebay seems to be the obvious solution. so i got to wait until it shows up...

dead truth recordings: xbishopx

xbishopx - drugs

i ordered a copy of that album a looooong time ago from the label out of america. two and a half months or something. the first copy arrived in the following shape:

fucking broken!!!

it was the first and hopefully the last time that i received a damaged record. i hate things like that. i've waited three weeks for it, i get the parcel, i'm excited to open it and the outcome is useless! luckily dead truth recordings were cool enough to send me a replacement (huge thanks for that). but another three weeks passed by and then, finally i got an unharmed lp :)

musically you get uncompromising hardcore with straight edge attitude. opaque green splatter vinyl.
