Converge / Dropdead 7"
(Self Released)
Converge has been one of my favorite bands since I first heard them, and each release showcases something new and refreshing. Their most recent full length, "Axe to Fall" set a new path for them. It has a slightly cleaner sound, with more metal elements mixed in. The song featured on this EP, "Runaway," sounds like it could have come straight from that recording session. It is a true shredder.
Dropdead continues their 20 year grindy assault with a new song "Paths of Glory." It's a war protest song about the pointless loss of life for the never ending "War machine." It's fast and thrashy, similar to their previous releases, and is certainly up to par with them.
You like to collect Converge records? Want every color? Good luck! We have Green w/ Black in stock at the moment.
Pressing info is as follows:
First Press:
10 - Test Presses
150 - Black w/ Random Stripe vinyl (Converge has these, up to the band if they sell them)
150 - Clear w/ Random colors vinyl (Dropdead has these, up to the band if they sell them)
2000 - Red & Black Swirl vinyl (Deathwish Exclusive)
2000 - Green & Black Swirl vinyl (Armageddon Exclusive)
2700 - "Vinyl Bong" Random colors of vinyl (Available from the bands only)

Death In June Nada Plus! LP/CD
(Pylon Records)
This here is what you might call a reissue. However, it does have that "Plus!" part of it. With the CD you get an extra CD and DVD (I haven't viewed it yet); with the LP you get all the music and some pretty outstanding new packaging (the Blue deluxe 2LP version is limited to merely 250 however). This goes a bit back in the D.I.J. history. It's got glimpses of what would come with moody acoustic numbers, but it's also got a bit of the dancier e.b.m. type songs (think Soft Cell). The bonus material is probably not new to die-hard D.I.J. fans, but it is perhaps the only way you'll find these on vinyl (if you opt to go that route). The version of "The Calling" on this is a bit different than that on the "I'm A Cult Hero" compilation (which I believe is the only way that song was available on LP before). We also got in a few shirts with these - they are soft and feature the familiar whip logo (sold separately of course).

Harm's Way Isolation LP
(Closed Casket Activities)
I fell in love with Harm's Way after hearing their "Imprisoned" 7", which was evil sounding straightedge power-violence. With the last couple of releases, they've been moving in a more straight forward tough hardcore direction. With "Isolation" they're using the "Hatebreed formula" of mixing death metal riffs (Carcass, Entombed, Obituary) in with some impressively intense drumming, samples, and even some swampy Eyehategod riffs to keep it flowing along through eight tracks. Super slick metal production on this album as well, which I would have never anticipated back when I only knew them from "Imprisoned". The sound has changed so much this could be a completely different band, but both eras of Harms Way are awesome.

Sanso-Xtro Fountain Fountain Joyous Mountain LP/CD
(Digitalis Recordings)
This experimental album incorporates rich high-and-low-pitched tones with other ever-varying instrumentation thrown in. It’s not easy to summarize it as a whole. “The Origin of Birds” frolics with jovial toy sounds and a glimmering electronic geyser that’s like a flourish of gold coins. Acoustic string plucking takes over in tracks like “Light Come, Light Go, Ghost” and the gritty, rustic, and very abstractly structured “Goodnight Thylacine,” but the tones individually provide a very lush, color-changing soundscape in others such as “Golden Hour” and “Observes Shadows.” It’s great that this album changes from track-to-track – sometimes it’s almost like an electronic lullaby (particularly “Hello Night Crow,”) but the curious accordion-heavy closer “Exit: Joyous Mountain” provides some surprising variation. An album with instrumentation like this should appeal to open-minded listeners since it’s far from traditional song-structure boundaries and doesn’t fall into a dull, predictable “easy-listening” trap. Thankfully, it doesn’t suffer from alienating complexity, either. It’s just something for a unique mood to visit new places.
