Glorious Dead Lay Under Blue Vinyl Waves

I'm starting to think that you have to belong to some kind of secret society to have access to preorders for Battle Ruins first pressings. Whenever this band releases a new record, I feel like I'm a few months late to the party, and the record label is already working on the second pressing. That's cool though, because I'm of the opinion that the colored vinyl second pressings look amazing, and I'd prefer them to the black vinyl first press.

The first LP for Battle Ruins knocked my socks off. I certainly wasn't expecting it, but that album became one of my favorites from 2014, so I was quite excited for their follow up this year. Glorious Dead does not disappoint. Anthemic and heavy...this album gets my head banding and fist pounding right out of the gates. Another winner.

Limited to 500 on blue vinyl for the second pressing, and just a few months after it's release, it is already averaging a price tag over $50 on Discogs. So glad that I was able to grab one from the label before they were gone!

Can you teach me how to be a member of that club? I can never get a copy of any of their damn albums without paying a premium.

Meet me in the dark alley, behind the 7-11. Bring $200, a goat's heart, a pair of soiled panties, and a gallon of olive oil. All will be revealed.

How the hell is that first LP already 4 years old?

Also, I can't help but think that all you really want from that list is the soiled panties. The other items are clearly just there as a distraction...
