Interesting to see the label releasing this is former Roadrunner A&R, who have two bands: Code Orange …and Spiritual Cramp. Very unexpected to see SC in that mix.

Indie Exclusive Heavy Splatter Cream w/Black and Brown

My luck is i'll order one of these, and then they'll do a signed record release edition in September. They did that with Underneath.

It's too bad they couldn't produce the full length "movie" to the album they had planned, I guess it got cut into separate music videos instead. I liked this video quite a bit.

Damn that indie exclusive looks nice with the art. Maybe I’ll just grab one of those.

Same. I like that they experiment a lot, even if it’s not always great. If they were trying to get it from their brand new label, I get it. Don’t want to sink the ship on the first outing, but still.

This variant came out recently and I thought it looked the best (maybe tied with the indie). I sent the webstore an email and they replaced my original order for the all seeing eye variant which I thought was super cool of them.

For $26 this record is proof other bands and labels are ripping us off. It's a gatefold, partially glossy for certain parts of the art, came with a massive heavyweight book, a poster, and the variant I bought looks so good. The sound is very clear with no pops or skips. Meanwhile we're getting bare bones for $25-35 from others.

 

I haven't listened to the digital and I can tell this is going to take a few listens for me to get a solid opinion. I have to ask, does it sound like it was recorded, mixed and mastered well digitally? Because the music on the vinyl is not impressive. The mix is not dynamic and it's kind of rough, but maybe that's what they're going for.

100% I was blown away by this package. This record shreds too. I feel like this band is overlooked and it may not be everyone’s cup of tea – but they are damn good at what they do.
