WEHRMACHT “The complete beer soaked collection 1985-1989” 6 X tape boxset and SLANDER “Calunnia” 12″ …pre-orders start NOW!!
As we’re approaching the end of June, the time is finally coming for our open air summer festival “United as one Part. 3“, with exclusive Italian appearences by D.R.I., Wehrmacht, General Surgery, Deafness By Noise also keeping the spotlight on local heroes such as Slander and First Brawl. To make this event even more unique and interesting we have prepared two special relaases for 2 of the bands performing there… Online preorders for both are starting now, they will be obviously premiered and first sold at the festival, we’ll start to ship them around July 10th as soon as we’ll be back from OEF. The bands that we chose for our United As One focused assault are Portland’s undisputed pioneers of shark endorsed ultra-fast Thrashcore madness… no one else than our shoebros WEHRMACHT, with a limited 6x Tape boxset edition of the highly acclaimed “Beer soaked collection 1985/1989” that we originally released on vinyl 3 years ago…
… and then the new 12″ by one of the most promising revelations of today’s Italian Hardcore scene… SLANDER! If you thought that Venice, California was the only Venice that needs to be mentioned when you talk of HC, now you also have to cope with the franticly growing scene of the original Venice city (Venezia) in the north East of Italy.. in the last decade it delivered a bunch of good underground acts and has consolidated an unbelievably strong base also thanks to the cult “Venezia Hardcore Festival” that brings together thousands of HC maniacs from all over Europe. The band that better represents this manic Hardcore rebirth is with no doubt SLANDER, that have quickly reached a solid follow up after a demo, an EP, a split LP and a full length album, also thanks to countless tours and their completely insane live performances. This new 12″ is the final punch in the face showing their power and intensity.
So preorders for WEHRMACHT “The beer soaked collection 1985/1989” 6x tape boxset limited to 200 and SLANDER “Calunnia” one-sided 12″ limited to 300 copies are up now. Once again: they will be premiered at our festival on June 30th, you will have to be patient on the final shipping date as from next week we’ll be at Obscene Extreme in the Czech Republic and we’ll start to ship this batch of preorders and the next one (to be announced really soon.. stay tuned!) after July 10th.
