xgrantx Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Formed in 2009, Michigan’s Great Reversals has steadily built an impressive discography. Releasing a host of EPs and splits, the band has consistently churned out powerful hardcore centered around deeply personal, often philosophical lyrics infused with the idealism that has always been at the heart of the DIY scene. Now the band is poised to unleash their debut LP Mere Mortals in collaboration with State of Mind Recordings, Bitter Melody Records, and Hydrogen Man Records. Spanning 11 songs in total, “Mere Mortals” channels 90’s heavyweights like Trial, Integrity and Harvest, while infusing occasional moments of post-rock flair. Lyrically, the record is a reflection on the often desperate and heart-breaking state of the human condition, as seen through the lenses of friends, family, and acquaintances. Recorded and mixed by Andy Nelson, and mastered by Brad Boatright, the weight of the record’s subject matter is surpassed only by its crushing production, resulting in a jarring and colossal listen. Here is the first track off of the record - Capsized - This will be up for preorder this week from all three labels. We will also have a preorder shirt to coincide with the release.

Crabwalker Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 this is tight. I actually randomly picked up a 7" from them a year or two ago on a whim when ordering some other stuff from Deathwish and really dug it. Haven't heard anything from them since, so it's cool to see they are still putting out music. I'll definitely pick this us shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgrantx Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 Yeah. They are a great band. They aren't able to get out and tour a ton, they have careers and kids and real life stuff. This is their first official LP but they have quite a few releases over the years, a 10" and several splits and 7"s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgrantx Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Appreciate all the preorders. The shirt is only available during this preorder so don't wait if you want one. Hopefully, we will have the vinyl soon. The band is working out the details for the record release show now and a full stream should be up in the next couple weeks. For now, check out the two songs streaming on youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgrantx Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Thanks for the orders so far. If you are into the shirt, make sure you snag it during the preorder. We will only be getting as many as are sold. The covers and inserts are in hand and the tests are approved so it shouldn't be too much longer.
