Just popping in to let the community know they posted "Stay Tuned" with some sort of cryptic photo on Instagram. Carry on.

As per the Tooth & Nail/Solid State vinyl preview email, this will be available tomorrow morning. 1500 but they will probably go fast, 20 years makes people itchy. "Design and packaging for this landmark release was supervised by Josh Scogin. • The record features a brand new, complete audio remaster for the vinyl format by Troy Glessner at Spectre Studios. • The original CD artwork was been restored and recreated one-layer-at-a-time, and features an additional, hidden, ghostly spot varnish glossy design on the “Bless the Martyr” cover. • Co-Produced by the treasured team at Unoriginal Vinyl, with the utmost-attention-to-detail. Estimated shipping: March 2022."

Didn't Botch already announce that they were keeping their catalogue in print?

On today's Tooth & Nail Labeled Podcast Brandon Ebel confirmed that there will be different color variants for the three Solid State releases for sale online in the near future.

Just got my 90’s bundle. The gold variant of In Place of Real Insight is by far the best looking gold record I have ever seen. It’s beautiful.

20% off everything at State of Mind Distro. https://www.stateofmindrecordings.com/ They carry a lot of underground stuff but also stuff you'd likely all be interested in, examples: Nothing, Full of Hell, Gulch, Real Friends, etc. It might take some digging with 3000+ titles, but it's worth it.

Lol, jesus. Nothing more punk than "ACTUALLY, we have the trademark." I will always love converge, but this whole thing is hilarious/sad. No response at all would've been better than how they've handled it.

Unoriginal had a Instagram story earlier this week that mentioned to tune in this Thursday for information on their Solid State Furnace fest releases.

Reading through Audrey Marnay's original IG post calling out Converge is an experience in hilarity. From the thirsty dudes...to the Monday morning quarterbacks offering their legal "expertise"...L - O - fuckin' - L https://www.instagram.com/p/CUdAnDlsKiW/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

First pressing on vinyl. https://shop.thisisdig.com/uk/artists/idlewild/warnings-promises-2lp-black.html US Link https://store.rhino.com/warnings-promises.html Also, looks like there's a repress of Captain on vinyl (or they found old stock from the 2020 pressing) https://shop.thisisdig.com/uk/captain-1lp.html Edit: Captain is out of stock now. Now I'm wondering if it was either relisted by accident or it was indeed old stock from the 2020 pressing and they only had a handful left. Glad I ordered it if it really was available. But now I'm expecting an email from Dig saying that it wasn't really in stock.

That green w/splatter looks nice. I’ll wait for public preorders.

Yeah. Much better.

I totally understand. Also I'd recommend watching this before you play, not really necessary, but it has some world building:

Having never heard this band until tonight, I must say, this is pretty damn good. Can't expect anything less than amazing from Translation Loss though haha

New round of Listenable Records represses - lots of hot LPs back in stock - some bundles as well Crescent - Carving The Fires Of Akhet new variant https://meteor-gem.com/products/crescent-carving-the-fires-of-akhet-lp Gojira - From Mars To Sirius and The Way Of All Flesh repress https://meteor-gem.com/collections/all/band_gojira?sort_by=created-descending Incantation - Vanquish In Vengeance and Dirges Of Elysium new variants https://meteor-gem.com/collections/all/band_incantation?sort_by=created-descending Obituary - Cause Of Death, World Demise, and The End Complete on color wax https://meteor-gem.com/collections/all/band_obituary?sort_by=created-descending Suffocation - Breeding The Spawn, Effigy Of The Forgotten, and Pierced From Within https://meteor-gem.com/collections/all/band_suffocation?sort_by=created-descending All Listenable Records at MG https://meteor-gem.com/collections/all/label_listenable?sort_by=created-descending

Won’t be able to get to it until probably Saturday. I’m just so damn tired during the week 😅

Taking a guess... He Is Legend will be next week, the week after that will be The Chariot.

Best I add my self to it haha

Solid State mailing list

Awesome! Thanks!

Saw it in a post in a metalcore fb group

Norma Jean "Bless the Martyr..." goes live tomorrow at 2PM EST / 11AM PST. 2 variants limited to 750 each. Estimated shipping is March 2022. https://solidstate.merchnow.com/

Was going to ask if you're going to play it now! Such a great game. Going through it on my Xbox Series X right now as well.

I watched it last night and feel pretty mixed about it. Liked two of the shorts, downright hated one and thought one was ok, but overstayed its welcome. The wrap around was a bit of a dud too. Still better than the 3rd one though.

Thank you Glass Realms. I slept on Captain not realising it was a Dig! exclusive and ended up getting gouged on the secondary market. Not making the same mistake again!

Happy to see this finally getting pressed but disappointed they didn’t do something more elaborate for this - colored vinyl, additional tracks (this was a really prolific period for the band). Fingers crossed for The Remote Part’s 20th next year they do something cool with that since it needs a reasonably priced repress anyway.

Got my copy today .. Cloudy Purple Anyone knows how many copies were pressed in this color?

Grabbed the Alan Wake remaster for the PS4 yesterday. So excited to finally play it.

Had Vinny on the podcast I cohost. He confirmed they do have a studio recording of magic volume, but it will not be on this full length. They are planning on releasing that separately. At least that was what he told us when we spoke to him earlier this year. I guess it couldve changed? We spoke to Matt Messina (who was in Helen of Troy with the Gospel guys and is still tight with them all) at the end of August and he also confirmed that magic volume will be released separate to the new LP. But like I said, things can change? I just know Vinny was pretty straight that they view that as its own thing, and the new LP stuff is different and its own thing. If that makes sense haha

And performing on SNL this weekend

Ya totally. I'm just glad J has the trademark since it's a recreation utilizing forms. Different medium and intent in they narrative.

Probably has a little less to do with the band trying to redeem "punk cred" than it does Bannon speaking to his art. I have to imagine he's been an artist longer than Converge's frontman. Sometimes it's just about the principle.

Not particularly great but fine. I thought it was entertaining enough, but nothing near as good as the first couple.

This is relevant to my interests

Audrey's original post doesn't seem like an explicit warning that she is looking to take legal action if there is no settlement for compensation. Looks like she has a pretty fine life just based on face value from her Instagram gallery so I would imagine she's not simply hurting for money. If I'm missing some extended text from her let me know. I only see the original caption on her Jane Doe post.

Not gonna lie...while a lot of us jaded assholes would love to see a BOTCH reunion happen...I really hope they hold hard their "no reunions...ever" line and not sell out as the likes of Refused and At The Drive-In did even after they stated they wouldn't ever reunite.

If they think they’re being “smart” by shipping them in poly bags, then they also better be smart enough to start shipping the records outside of the jackets

Brian Cook sure loves to keep busy

Unoriginal Vinyl just posted the below on their IG story... I'd say everything is gonna be alright

Hopefully it is a Terminal - How the Lonely Keep first time vinyl pressing. EDIT: Here is a pic of a fake vinyl mockup I made many many years ago
