years spent cold - moving heaven to hell

a great death-/moshcore band from a time when i was young. eighteen years ago that album was a banger on my mp3 player. nowadays the guys are back as i undrestand, which was most likely the reason to re-issue 'moving heaven to hell' on vinyl. cool thing! still a very enjoyable listen. 550 copies pressed on clear red w/ splatter vinyl. originally released in 2008 on eulogy records. vinyl on daze records. 2026.

earth crisis - firestorm 7" (og pressing)

got this black original 7" pressing of earth crisis' influential 'firestorm' e.p. via ebay and thought, it might be a cool addition to the rsd 2013 vinyl and my euro cd version. love the red/white insert. victory records. 1993.

judge - new york crew 7"

is this the best hardcore 7" ever to be released? i don't know about you, but for me the judge 'new york crew' 7" probably is. never bothered with a stand alone pressing, though. shame on me! had to right this wrong with this beautiful pink pressing. originally released in 1988, this is the 2025 re-issue out of 1.100 copies. revelation records.

throwdown - you don't have to be blood to be family (2023 pressing)

i have the og pressing of this phenomenal sophomore throwdown album for quite some years now but always thought of getting an upgrade at some point. the reason for this is the sound issue the og pressing has within the first minute or so of the first song. i missed out on the 2021 anniversary re-issue but found this clear 2023 copy at merchpit.de and ordered it along with the earth crisis 'aow' re-issue. indecision records. 2001/2023.

earth crisis - all out war

boy, i've been waiting for this baby getting a vinyl re-issue for a long time. somehow i never got a shot at a copy, neither early 7" pressings nor the all out war/firestorm 12" pressing. therefore i was delighted to learn about the holy mountain pre-order for this single 12" release. even more so as germany based merchpit mailorder offered an exclusive colour-way. here we are with this nice tan w/ mint green splatter vinyl, a wrenches etching on the b-side and an lp-sized booklet out of 100 copies. originally released in 1992. holy mountain. 2026.

madball - not your kingdom

madball are still here and are still delivering the nyhc goods. for a long time, since 'hold it down' actually, i haven't felt this excited for a new madball album. 'not your kingdom' definitely hit me by surprise. this propeller variant is limited to 500 copies and looking sharp. nuclear blast. 2026.

i killed the prom queen - beloved

i went to see i killed the prom queen play live in june this year and i was over the moon after that concert. it gave me huge early 00's metalcore vibes. to my regret i realised that i was missing prom queen's last full length 'beloved' from 2014 on any format in my collection. i hit up jpc.de and here we are with a brand new standard black vinyl copy. pretty decent comeback album. it's time for yet another one, though. epitaph records. 2014.

converge - hum of hurt

well, i was quite surprised when i learned that one of my favourite bands would release another full length in one year. 'love is not enough' is a real scorcher front to back, so i thought hell yeah, why not!? i pre-ordered via evil greed mailorder and got the exclusive 'nebula' version out of 300 copies. musically i am not 100% sold on 'hum of hurt'. i can't quite put my finger on it but it doesn't resonate with me yet. the visuals of the artwork are stunning as always. deathwish inc. 2026.

beyond creation - the aura (15th anniversary pressing)

i fancied a colour copy of the 2011 debut of this canadian tech/prog death juggernaut since i know of them. as any pressing was and is quite sought after, i missed out on every option i had in the past. thankfully almost everything gets a re-issue eventually. so, here we are. slick gold foil gatefold, double-sided poster, patch and clear with red/black dual vinyl out of 333 copies. chef's kiss! season of mist. 2026.

intronaut - prehistoricisms

i had this album on my wantlist for quite some time. since recently there was a white vinyl century media pressing from 2008 and this blue vinyl pressing by german label back bite records from 2018 (in terms of colour vinyl). last year the label 'reissued sounds' threw a bunch of new splatter vinyl pressings on the market and that seemed to lower the asking prices, at least for the back bite version. it was an offer i couldn't refuse and now i'm the proud owner of one out of 100 blue vinyl copies of 'prehistoricisms'. back bite records. 2018.
