Hospice was originally released on CD via HEX records in 2007; the CD can still be purchased through them at this link. From the Hex site, “The ridiculously good second full length from Rochester’s own Achilles. Though way on the back burner due to members commitments with Polar Bear Club, Soul Control, and fatherhood, this record gained so much praise just by how freaking good the songwriting is they didn’t need to bother playing shows in support of it. While heavily rooted in a ‘mathcore’ vein, influences are not strictly limited to the Botch school of thought. Add bits of Majority Rule, City Of Caterpillars, Faraquet, and straight up melodic hardcore and you get this excellent document of a band with passion seeping out every pore. The album sounds delicious.” Farewell Party decided to license the album for release on vinyl in hopes of giving the album the attention it deserves. Punknews said of the album in a review, “Hospice is assuredly a step up from the also excellent The Dark Horse, which combined some of the best aspects from heavy but ambitious acts like Botch and Breather Resist. Achilles seem to forge their own territory here, diversifying their sound and concentrating less on atmospherics and more on a heavy base, mixed up tempos and interchanging riffs. “We Are Fixtures” is one of the best examples of this, in addition to being possibly Hospice’s best track; Rory Vangrol (also of How We Are) kicks it up a notch repetitively screaming “wake up, wake up! We’re losing everything!,” and leads the charge perfectly — rarely has Achilles sounded this urgent, while the band floor the listener with a breathtaking sense of dynamics.? The pressing for “Hospice” will be in the following editions: Marble Tan – 114 VC exclusive (90 copies will be available through VC) Black – 107 Grey – 143 Camo – 220 50 PROMO / ADVANCE copies (Black Vinyl, but promo copies, sent out to distros and reviewers prior to release (VC will have 15 copies) We will also have a Test Press Contest (only 60 made, hand made covers by Joe OHIO PRIDE). Vinyl is expected to be completed in 3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
