ABSOC 020 - INSIDIOUS PROCESS / AVFART - 33 Split LPAVFART 33 / INSIDIOUS PROCESS:
Split: LP

You get two anarcho bands from Sweden on this record; both are led by women and make for a good match. The record itself comes packaged in a beautifully illustrated black and white sleeve with a cardboard inner sleeve containing the lyrics. The drawing is of a girl with a pet white tiger gazing up into a window from which a silhouette of another child looks back. What this has to do with the sounds on the record is up to the listener’s interpretation, for the sounds are far less serene. Avfart 33’s first song starts out with a pretty standard galloping d-beat intro. It didn’t really grab my attention until the vocals kicked in. The fast, belted-out, high-pitched vocals is what makes this band stand out. At the same time, the band picks up the pace for some speedy hardcore. The lyrics are not printed in English, but there are some translated song summaries. Most of the songs are about smashing the state, anti-sexism, stuff like that. Insidious Process play fast, pummeling d-beat with shrieking, demonic vocals. I think that Process is definitely the all-around better band, but they, too, benefit from a furious vocalist. A few more parts and time changes to their quick, thrashy crust make a big difference. The lyrics are radically political, but most are focused on the mental health side of things, like coping with the wear on your mind when trying to fight, resist, or live outside the system.

Next up is probably the most involved release we’ve ever done, which is the ORDER OF THE VULTURE – Martyr for Nothing EP.  We made a die-hard limited edition of 50 hand crafted, hand scorched, stained boxes with an OOTV emblem branded and burned into the face.  The box is wrapped in dyed twine and also includes a limited silk-screened cover which will also be numbered.  The box editions will all include red vinyl.  Due to the immense amount of labor and work that went into these, we will be selling these at $14.99 each, and will be limited to two per customer.  The release is limited to 550 copies; 440 on red and 110 on black.  This release is nearly sold out already so don’t snooze!  We will be adding photos to this post shortly, so stay tuned!  Click here to pre-order a limited editionClick here to pre-order red vinyl, and click here to pre-order black vinyl.  If you click on the image below, you can pre-order all of them because we know you want to!

For those of you who have been asking, the ORDER OF THE VULTURE – Martyr for Nothing 7″ is being a tiny bit delayed, but we will be announcing the orders very soon as well as the super limited edition!  The new NUX VOMICA – Embrace the Cycles 7″ has been picked up by the band during their European tour, so make sure to grab one from them if you are in the area!  We will be receiving the US copies shortly and will announce those when ready.  We have a ton of stuff in the works this year, be prepared for represses of the MURDERESS – The Last Thing You Will Ever See.. LP (we only have a few black copies left on hand), and finally the repress of NUX VOMICA – A Civilized World LP!  We are going to be doing cassette re-issues of most of our catalog, and are preparing two cassette releases for ORDER OF THE VULTURE currently.  Thank you to all of you whom have ordered with us, and be on the lookout for some very exciting news in the near future!
