And we're done!

0025 - Todos Caeran/Gumilinski split 7"

This release was the second record I picked up from Dog Knights Productions, at the same time as the Worms Feed 7". This was a special record for me, as it took my collection to the quarter of a century mark, which to me was a big deal!

Front cover:-

Again this was a pretty original record. Firstly, it was my first proper introductions to Canadian screamo band Todos Caeran and Russian screamo band Gumilinski and secondly, because of the striking record sleeve.

Inside the obligatory plastic outer sleeve was a car sleeve that housed the record. As you can see, each side had a person on it, but the sleeve itself isn't a full sleeve, so you can see the record inside!

Back sleeve:-

This meant that you could see the stunning white 7" in all it's glory.

A Side:-

Each side features a clean centre sticker, with more nice artwork, the band featuring on it along with their song contributions as well as the RPM of the record!

B Side:-

Tracklisting:-
Side A - Gumilinski -
1. The Blind Opera Overture
2. La Guerra
3. Yes, We Know...

Side B - Todos Caeran:-
4. The Dispossessed
5. Left Hand of Darkness

This record was pressed in a quantity of 300 on white vinyl. 100 featured limited colour sleeve artwork:-

10 on Grey Silver
20 on Blue
20 on Green
50 on Maroon

To keep things simple with this release, there was no massive insert, just a small one featuring the bands and songs, as well as links and e-mail addresses for the bands. A download code also came (which has been used, before you try it!)

It's worth noting that this 7" should have featured an extra track from each band, but these were too long to fit on the wax, so they were provided with the download instead:-

Gumilinski - Life Walks in Beauty
Todos Caeran - The Gernsback Continuum

Looking in the Dog Knights store, this has sold out. Todos Caeran still appear to have copies in their store at http://www.todoscaeran.bigcartel.com/. You may also be able to find copies in distros or on Discogs, but buy copies from the bands first while they have them left!

Todos Caeran are at http://www.facebook.com/todoscaeran
Gumilinski are at http://www.facebook.com/Gumilinski

More records!

So most of my new arrivals have begun dropping through my letter box!

I've ordered another 3 7"s from the Dead Dead Dead Music distro in the shape of:-

Converge/Napalm Death - Split 7" on gold vinyl
Full Of Hell/The Guilt Of... - Split 7" on black vinyl
Doomriders/Sweet Cobra - Are We Not Men split 7". This is the pink vinyl, RSD 2012 pressing.

Also, my want list keeps growing. I've recently heard about two new 7" that will be out sometime in the future - a split 7" between Hexis and This Gift Is A Curse, as well a split 7" between Napalm Death and Melvins! Epic.

0024 - Worms Feed - Black Snow 7"

While I'm procrastinating about jobs, I thought I 'd update my blog. This 7" was the first record I ordered from UK label Dog Knights Productions and was the first time I'd heard of Worms Feed.

Dog Knights Productions is a label and promoter, that's been gathering momentum over the last couple of years. They've been building their reputation as one of the UK's best, new labels and have been releasing better and better records as they've gone along. Worms Feed are from Belgium and play a hybrid of hardcore, crust and black metal.

Front sleeve -

I got drawn to this 7" because of the haunting, black and silver cover. That skull compliments Worms Feed's music perfectly.

Back sleeve -

The 7" features two songs and is one sided, with a screen printed B-side which I'll get to a little later.

Tracklist:-

1. Black Snow
2. Memories

A Side -

 

The record is pressed on black vinyl and features a similarly moody centre sticker.

B Side - 

It's the B-Side that sets this release apart though. It features a white-ink, screen-printed version of the cover art.

This 7" was a co-operative release by Dog Knights Productions and Iron Plague Records from Germany. Now, I'm not sure how many of these were pressed by Iron Plague, but there was 300 copies pressed by Dog Knights, all on black vinyl but featuring three different colours if ink, for the screen printing:-

30 featuring Gold ink (sold out)
30 featuring Silver ink (sold out)
240 featuring white ink (still available)

As well as this, I also got a plethora of flyers, stickers and free download codes, because DK like to promote their releases.

If you want to pick up a copy of this record, you can go to either http://ironplaguerecords.bigcartel.com or http://www.dogknightsproductions.com/DK/Store.html.

Also, make sure you check out Worms Feed at http://www.facebook.com/wormsfeed and listen to them at http://www.wormsfeed.bandcamp.com. They're well worth your time.
