Release Text:
During the 2020 COVID Lockdown two friends, who’d created music together previously in THEIR THROATS ARE OPEN TOMBS, decided to kill the boredom by recording some aggro powerviolence infused hardcore punk tunes and releasing them on an 8″ lathecut (yea, the format was as much a part of the initial idea as anything else!). Five years later Chris and Dave are back with a REDUX version of that first demo, now complete with live drums, re-recorded instruments and vocals that aren’t recorded down the phone!
This expanded release, which features a previously unreleased tune, delivers on the initial promise of the 2020 Demo: heavy, nasty and still really aggro!
The cherry on the cake here is an excellent reinvisioning of GYM BODIES // EMPTY VESSELS, simple entitled Gym Bodies, by long time friend of the label Captive Portal (aka Zach Bridier ex October Bird of Death, 2 Minute Minor et alle). It’s DURER’s first foray into Drum’n’Bass but probably won’t be their last!
And what better way to celebrate this re-release then to issue it on another unusual lathecut format – this time it’s on a gold saw blade 10″ lathe, limited to 10 copies EVER. Don’t sleep!
