shanerockey Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Anyone have an update on when this is going to be available in the US to buy on vinyl? Great album! http://sport.bandcamp.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onwardempire Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The test presses are just being approved (see image). I remember reading a post saying they expect to have these available for shipping at the end of March. Not sure about US distributors but they do have quite a lot of them, if Colors was anything to go by. I'd imagine US will see this later though, unless of course you want to pay the extra shipping. This is such an amazing album, really looking forward to it also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabukweli Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I'm pretty sure I saw on their bandcamp that Kiss Of Death will be selling it in the US. I got so excited when I saw this thread only to be deflates upon opening it. So stoked on this album it hurts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amnorth Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Note: please don't title a thread with PO if there's no PO yet I mean come on now I'm mega disappointed. Either way great band with an incredibly impressive live show onwardempire 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwhitmuzik Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Is that like a huge pressing for this band is or is that just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanerockey Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Anyone else order this yet? Which did you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasma36 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Is that like a huge pressing for this band is or is that just me? Well considering that two dozen labels put money towards this I imagine each label will want copies. Also if it sold out quickly then money would have to be gathered from all the labels again which would be a hassle. onwardempire 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onwardempire Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Is that like a huge pressing for this band is or is that just me? I wondered that as well, however they have sold out of the first press of Colors (/617), and they continue to sell through the 2nd press /1000, hence the third press /525, so there must be demand. They must have put a bigger order in this time round to save money long term. Anyone else order this yet? Which did you get? I went for the white/black splatter, it doesn't look much of a splatter but I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I wondered that as well, however they have sold out of the Orange press of their first LP Colors (/617), and they continue to sell through their 2nd press /1000, and have also just released a third press /525, so there must be demand. They must have put a bigger order in this time round to save money long term. I went for the white/black splatter, it doesn't look much of a splatter but I like it. Interesting, I don't know much about the band but that's cool to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasma36 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 These were probably pressed in Europe, so it might be a little while before labels get their copies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabukweli Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Can't find it on Kiss Of Death I'm getting woefully impatient. It looks like KoD's store hasn't been updated in a while. Has anyone seen this up for sale anywhere at all? Hurry up and wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurry up and wait. It's up for preorder at the Canadian distro, but shipping to the US almost costs as much as the record itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabukweli Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Thanks for the info, as frustrating as it is. I thought the US got to rip off Canadians on shipping, not the other way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domiendr Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 They are going to tour the us in the autumn (spoke to guitarist/singer) so if you are really patient they'll surely take them then and it will be hella cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelmanfredi Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 hopefully kiss of death updates soon. would love to have this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabukweli Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Apparently Kiss of Death is very confused. They just posted a comment on their original post for the album (from Dec 19,2013) saying the following: "Tests are not in from plant. We dont usually launch a pre order without all the parts being in house." The band's own posts would suggest that not only are tests approved, but the records have been manufactured...unless they did colored test presses. Now I'M confused.

Domiendr Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Records have definitely been pressed. People all over the EU already have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Just speculating but perhaps there is an actual US press being done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabukweli Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Just got clarification from Bryon. It all makes more sense now. "Hey ____, Sorry, let me clarify, to save on shipping costs form mainland europe the band is dropping them off after tour to a friend in Germany who is in the Military. They could not get them to him until after tour so I was hesitant to put up the pre-order as I am not sure when I will actually have the records in my possession, I hoping to have them in a couple of weeks, but did not want to keep everyone hanging... I guess I will maybe just put the pre-order up with all this info... sorry for any confusion - thanks Bryon" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onwardempire Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Album is nice Agreed, really digging this. No matter how I set up my table though, I get so much sibilance on 'Jaques Mayol', the last track on the first side. The cymbals and vocals are just a distorted mess, it's my favourite track as well. Do you notice any clarity issues there? Seeing them tonight in Leeds, gonna pick up another copy and see how that plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabukweli Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Oh dear god, don't tell me that. That's easily the best song and cranking it on my stereo is one of the biggest reasons I want the vinyl so bad. We need to lobby for them to put it out on a 7" with an unreleased b-side now.
