100 demons - s/t

earlier this year i was writing about the re-press of 100 demons' first full length release 'in the eyes of our lord' on a389 records. by the same time i ordered their sophomore release on deathwish inc. that was re-pressed for record store day 2014. this album marks their last release up to now. actually i can't even say if the band is still active.

their facebook page showed some posts from this year and they even played some very few shows. so i don't know if they just come together to play some concerts occasionally, or if they will record some new material at some point, or if they even called it quits. who knows? anyway their self titled album is a blast. they recorded at zeuss' planet z studios in massachusetts and therefore the sound is awesome.

musically they remind me of hatebreed in their early 00' phase, which fits the time of the release date of '100 demons' pretty good. check out 'time bomb' and 'repeat process'. the record went through a few pressings. at least two pressings by deathwish and even one european pressing by now defunct dead serious recordings. i'm afraid i can't provide any numbers on my clear red copy, though. deathwish inc. 2004/2014.

100 demons - in the eyes of the lord

back in the year 2000 a yet widely unknown band called 100 demons released their first full length onto the world. this connecticut based five-piece named it 'in the eyes of the lord' and let goodlife recordings from belgium handle release matters.

as usual with goodlife back then, they also pressed a vinyl version to this sucker. a bigger quantity of black vinyl and a limited edition of 200 copies on red vinyl. never came across one of that coloured copies. maybe willem, as a goodlife collector, calls one his own?

due to the lack of availability for this album i was very delighted to see, that a389 records would do a re-press for the event of black friday rsd 2014. the whole press would be done on coloured vinyl, so it was easy for me to snag a copy from a domestic distributor.

when my copy showed up i had several reasons to be happy with this output. first reason was that a389 preserved the red colour scheme for the cover. goodlife did the same with their vinyl press fourteen years ago, only a bit paler. second thing is the vinyl colour itself. split colour pattern - score!

the sticker that was on the shrink wrap and which was poorly removed by my humble self, provides you with all the necessary information according this release. unfortunately one useful information is missing - pressing numbers. i'm afraid i can do no better. anyone a clue? a389 records. 2014.
