All Out War: Assassins in the House of God RSD 2012 Exclusive (Pink splatter vinyl)

The last of the Victory records that I picked up on Record Store Day was this All Out War: Assassins in the House of God. This is their 4th album, released in 2007, almost 10 years after they formed! I've always been a fan of these guys and this is one of my favorite records by them. A classic hardcore, metal crossover of the newer generation. Printed on pink/purple vinyl with a white swirl, it looks awesome.

Ringworm: Justice Replaced by Revenge RSD 2012 Exclusive (White Vinyl)

My favorite Ringworm release, Justice Replaced by Revenge!  This is the Victory Record Store Day exclusive white pressing. I think Ringworm really nailed it with this record. To me, it is really concise and heavy hardcore mixed with metal.  Straight to the point, well done and with no bullshit or filler.

Ringworm: The Venomous Grand Design RSD 2012 Exclusive (Orange Vinyl)

Victory Records had a handful of good releases available for Record Store Day including a couple of Ringworm releases. I am really happy to have picked up The Grand Venomous Design as its one Ringworm record that I do not have.  It is printed on some really cool looking orange vinyl.

Gojira: The End of Time Limited 7" (White Vinyl) & T-Shirt Package

This 7" was originally available over at Listenable records out of France, but with shipping and even with buying a couple of them to combine shipping, I couldn't get them to under around $15 each. I always go through the dilemma of getting stuff from overseas when the shipping is so expensive. I decided to hold off for a little while and it turns out the Volcom began to carry it!  I do not know what happened, but once Volcom had it on their site, Listenable did not any longer. 

Volcom packaged this 7" in a very interesting way.  It is packed in what looks like a 12" record sleeve, but it is just a 12x12 thin box that houses the 7" along with a limited t shirt.  It is a pretty cool package and I am glad that I can put this up with the rest of the Gojira 12".

The tracks on this 7" were originally released pre-Gojira in 1997 on the Possessed demo

 

Dead End Path: Blind Faith (Blue/Pink Cotton Candy Vinyl)

This is a pretty sweet record from Triple B Records. Dead End Path is a pretty solid hardcore/metal band out of Wilkes Barre, PA and I really think they are underrated. I got this straight from the label and this is from the 2nd press out of 100 copies with this color variation. This is some pretty straight forward, old school sounding hardcore.

Indecision/Shai Hulud: Split 10"

Some old school hardcore, a rare find in Seattle. I saw this sitting behind the counter, waiting to be priced at Singles. I have never much been a fan of Shai Hulud, but always loved Indecision and am happy to have this to add to the old school hardcore stack. 

Lesbian/Ocean: 10" Split

Lesbian, the Seattle doom masters along with Ocean out of Portland, Maine, what an awesome combination! Another used record that I found at Singles.  This is an excellent way to present a split. Side one looks like its a complete Lesbian release with the label, cover and insert all matching.  Flip it all over and it looks like a completely different release!  I love it.
