No rest for Tim Singer. The last few years have seen a couple of records from his latest band, Bitter Branches, plus a real shock with a new album from No Escape... so sure, why the fuck not, might as well resurrect and release a new record from Deadguy as well.
As soon as the record went up for pre-order, I jumped over to the Relapse store to get my order in. I saw the "custom color twist" color and figured that it was the least offensive of the available options, and I grabbed it.
The packaging for this is so good. The full sized booklet with lyrics looks great, plus ordering from Relapse included a couple of buttons and a sticker. Well done.
Soon after I'd ordered the "color twist" from Relapse, Marcus reminded me that the label also does a clear vinyl version that limited to 100 and is supposedly for friends of the band and label only. I thought it would be cool to get my hands on one of those, but I didn't really put much hope into it. I figured that I got lucky when I was able to scoop the clear vinyl of the Candy album from Discogs, but I thought that Deadguy might prove to be more difficult. Apparently there is a friend of the band or label that has no problem flipping these things on Discogs for a decent price, and I didn't hesitate to grab one.
No surprises here, if you liked Deadguy in the 90's... if you liked No Escape, Kiss It Goodbye or Bitter Branches... chances are that you will like this latest record. Just as pissed off in 2025 as they sounded back in 1995... and probably with good reason.

You're way ahead of me on this one. Still haven't heard it or bought it. But given you bagged the clear you can punt the other one, right?
You'd think so, but I also like that color for the record... so I'll probably keep it for absolutely no other reason than I bought it.
