Show Me A Solution…and I’ll show you a bargain

Fuckin’ ALL OUT WAR, gotta love ‘em. This and “For Those Who Were Crucified” – solid jams. “Meat off the bone” comes to mind for me when I think about their musc (and I’m vegetarian!). Or if you said that they are a band that really, really sounds like Slayer’s “Raining Blood” breakdown stretched over a whole record, you’d be right too.

They are still at it and have released a few full lengths over the years, but the early stuff is my favorite. This, as timidsteps correctly points out, is the original pressing of their first EP, not the recent repress. This is one of those records that I do wish was longer, it’s only 2 songs. I like how gritty and raw this one is. I saw this band once at some horrible mosh fest in Illinois that Integrity was supposed to play but cancelled the day of or something, and by the time AOW played everyone was super tired from moshing all day. But they still played a good set and I remember something the singer said that I thought was funny “hey yeah we are a metal band, if you don’t like it, start your own band!”

Over here we have “Destined To Burn”, from 63cadillac this is another early one. 3 songs this time, $3 bucks so far…

Speaking of the repress of “Hymns…”. This picture got me exited for a minute, but it seems to be misleading, I guess this is not a lot of all different color 7″s for $5, but each 7″ for $5/or offer. Still a good deal. Too bad you can’t choose the color, or can you? Maybe something to ask getresurrected (maybe he still has the pink one!).

my first ‘Test Press Tuesday’ post…

I tend to get a little wordy sometimes when it comes to writing up a post on here or selling my own stuff on eBay because I figure the more information the better informed the reader will be amd the more likely they will be to make a bid and buy the item. I guess that beaconoshc is a man of few words because the description he put up for this All Out War ‘Hymns of the Apocalypse’ 7″ says…

Very rare and collectable test pressing. Numbered 6/12 made. Excellent condition.

I’m not gonna steal his thunder and add anything else to it so check it out and bid!

Mama’s Test Presses.

Seller mamashirts has a bunch of records up, including 4 test presses, one of which is heavier than the other 3 combined.

All Out War. One of the first bands I can remember seeing cover Cro-mags. Also a band that a young man named Tall Colin once mock killed everyone up front during one of their shows at 121 in Brockton during, using an invisible samurai sword. And then he committed imaginary seppuku. While wearing a Hawaiian shirt. You might know that young man better as Colin of Arabia. True story, swear to God.

(Not a test press, it’s a screen printed sleeve limited to 395, but how could I not include it?)

The rest of these tests pale in comparison to that story alone. Between The Buried And Me? Never even had a chance.

Oh, and I sort of can’t post the other two, because for some reason there are no pictures of any of them. They’re test presses of Taking Back Sunday and Thursday records. Yeah. I’ll just post pictures of kittens and a puppy that you can click on to go to the auctions instead…

I mean, when compared to AOW, is there really a difference?

of course you know… this means WAR!

radio_active_records is a cool name for a record store… actually it probably is a record store somewhere.

Earth Crisis ‘All Out War’ Victory repress. Black vinyl #272 of 328. I wasnt a huge fan of EC back in the day (a very unpopular opinion around here!), but over the years they have grown on me more and more. I will admit that now or then.. NOTHING beats the “I AM STRAIGHT EDGE” chant at the end of Gomorrah’s Season!
