i know this german band since i bought their first full length called "maledictvm" two years ago. i really fell in love with this record. with the occult feel, their darkened mix of hardcore, crust and metal and the great artwork it became a regular guest on my turntable. when i read my annual per koro mailorder newsletter, i stumbled upon the pleasant surprise that markus from per koro would also release the vinyl version of depravation's newest e.p., "feast with the rats".
of course i ordered myself a copy of the limited run. depravation comes forth with four new songs and these four pieces are damn sharp. they managed to maintain the same energetic, dark aura they fathered on "maledictvm". you can listen to the whole e.p. on their bandcamp and even download it for free. the only downer with this e.p. is the fact, that it is no full length release.
per koro went for a nice thick cardboard sleeve with a sturdy insert and a 180gr quality vinyl platter. to tell apart the limited from the wider pressing, the label didn't go for different colours of vinyl but for different colours of the screen print on the b-side. the wider press has a white print and the limited press comes with a silver print. i snagged one of the latter version out of only sixty copies. really nice work all around. per koro records. 2016.
