witching hour records. whr 09 / 12 tracks / 1999

Losing lottery ticket glued to the sleeve; inner sleeve, cardboard, lyric sheets and liner notes bound together. 1666 made, 1300 on black vinyl, 366 on mint green. Colored copies have a different sleeve with darker front cover background. Most black vinyl copies have a stamped back sleeve, some don’t.

Witching Hour comp. with mostly ultrafast & brutal hardcore which makes many of the tracks sound good & tough but also a bit uniform (Devola and Long Arm of the Law try something a bit different, though). Still a good EP. Great packaging, too. [7]

Sehr hübsch aufgemachter Sampler des Witching-Hour-Labels; vorwiegend schneller, brutaler Hack- und Knüppelstoff, der über die Platte hinweg zu etwas ununterscheidbaren Resultaten führt. Etwas Abwechslung bringen Devola, The Long Arm of the Law; aber auch die “normal” schnellen Sachen sind überwiegend gut.

Tracks: Orchid - how far it’s gone / Combat Wounded Veteran - and other sinister motives / Burned Up Bled Dry - give it up / Devola - sloatsburg / Remingtin westfuckingtriad - orwell reader / C. Rosewater - died today // The Long Arm of the Law - dead men don’t tell tales / Balm in Gilead - the circus song / Karenza - cherche et detruire / Gyga - strapping down a soul / Dead Men’s Theory - broken home / The Infinity Dive - watch your step
