905driving-force is from Ontario. Do you think he drove home after the reunion gig and IMMEDIATELY posted up these two auctions? Or do you think he’s staying at a friends house locally, and posted the records from their house? Ridic.
American Nightmare Background Music. Red vinyl. Buy it here.
Give Up The Ghost Down Till We’re Underground. Purple vinyl. Buy it here.
From the sounds of this auction, seems like permanentspringbreak just happened to stumble upon this Shipwreck test press. Could be a boon for him. Last one went for about $60 or so. And with it being the holiday season, perhaps this would make a great stocking stuffer for the BHC fan in your life? It’s still at 99¢ right now, and the auction ends tomorrow afternoon. I think you ought to go for it. Like the dude states, “featuring one song with guest vocals by the guy from Have Heart” and you love Have Heart, this is a no brainer.
If you know me, you know that I pretty much hate metal. Shit is just silly most of the time. Fucking costumes, long stupid hair, silly lyrics and so forth. There are exceptions though, I’ve always loved Iron Maiden. But shit like Slayer? Get that shit out of here. Fucking kiddie music. So for Metal Monday, Converge is probably as metal as I can get, without venturing into “I hate this record” type posting territory. Not gonna venture too far from home here with this auction from earwax666hotmail since we put this out years ago. 2000 copies of this quadruple 7″ on these four colors were made. Shit sold out with the quickness.
…is long gone in its free state, but now you can get it on ebay. Seller hirt916 was one of the lucky 1000 people to get a copy of this record that we sent out in his/her Deathwish estore order. What better way to introduce a band to the world than with a no strings attached free record. Damn, we are so nice!
The the_underdog is unloading a couple rare releases from Deathwish. These Converge records were originally released by EVR, but have long been out of print. Deathwish reissued these a few years back and they sold like hot cakes. These particular ones are rare and hard to find. I wonder how the seller got them?
Dudes went bananas for this Damage EP. It was the final EP, and that seemed to add some urgency to collecting it. I remember some of these items were selling for stupid amounts for a while. The market has cooled, and this could be your chance to scoop some pretty rare versions. Here’s what redscrollstore is selling in this lot.
83 Grey & Red mix vinyl without labels
500 Black vinyl
345 Grey & Red mix vinyl
137 Glow In The Dark vinyl w/ record release covers (20/138)
10 White & Clear split vinyl (95% White) (This may be the copy that’s limited to 2, but I can’t be certain
We’ll have to get a ruling from Tre on that white one. Tre, what says you? Is this one 95% white or 99% white?? Click through for a better pic.
In 2002, Deathwish Inc released a Converge album called Unloved And Weeded Out. It was a 12″ compilation album that kids went bonkers for it. It is currently, of course, out of print (you can still pick up the digital download though). Interestingly, the lp was a compilation of previously out of print material. One of those items happened to be the EP of the same name, Unloved And Weeded Out. This EP was released in 1995 as a split label release, Orionquest & Heliotrope Records. Not many were put out there, but xedgemetalx has your hookup.
First press, limited to 100 with this special cover. Each was individually numbered. This one is #15
First 2nd(?) press with 3rd press(?)** insert. Red vinyl. Dope.
2nd press. Also red vinyl. Different sleeve.
Chances are, these EPs are going to skyrocket. If you want the music, your best bet is the digital download. It’s well worth it.
** Thanks Tre!

Love, love, love this Blacklisted album. Every song is a banger. No filler. None. Each song is a hit, and the vinyl isn’t too shabby to look at either. Peep these LPs from xclosedcasketx.
(Pssst. still available from DWI too)
And how about this unassuming LP? Black vinyl, nothing crazy to look at, but wouldn’t you know it, it’s the friends only press. Tricky, tricky Deathwish Inc. Limited to 109. Grab more Blacklisted merch there.
Looks like our buddy Tre is onto the U portion of his collection. Makes me wonder. Can we start calling Tre, Uncle Tre? Sort of like Uncle Al. I think it’s a good idea. Uncle Tre from Deathwish Inc. While you mull that over, check out his listings for U bands (Unbroken, Uniform Choice, …).
Oh, and this little band called Underdog.
Holy shit, xuttermoshx is bringing out some rare guns. This You Fail Me Converge LP is flipping rare. This one is limited to just 4 copies. That’s right FOUR. If I had to guess, I would say, pressing mix up, as the red/black vinyl was supposed to be striped. You can see that here (ltd to 642, dope). The regular press of this white/clear vinyl has a cross of white, instead of a stripe of white. And actually, one lp has 3 arms instead of 4. I’d guess Tre has that one squirreled away, though.
Go ahead and pony up for this one. All money goes towards putting out more vinyl on React Records. That’s something worth supporting. Of course, you have to be a big dog to get in on the bidding at this point … Check out the current price. Wow.
And after you finish reviewing the pressing of this lp, grab some Deathwish Inc releases. It’s a smart move.

This former member of Blacklisted has a really cool item up for sale, but TTD beat me to the punch by a mere 30 minutes. I snoozed, I losed. Fortunately, he’s also got some rare Cold World vinyl up that I’m more than happy to show you…
And just for fun, here’s a flyer that ties everything in this post together:
Which is fortunate, because without these two from Tre, we’d actually have nothing to kick off the day with. Yes, it’s gonna be a slow one here on Test Press Tuesday; not because of lack of material but because I haven’t had time to write any of it up. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to provide some more posts later in the day; until then what we have here are two tests for records that are rated HP, for Heavy Pitting.
Here’s a stellar one from Deathwish Inc. This is single song, one sided EP lot from J. Bannon of Converge. This one was released as a solo project in 2008, not under the Converge name, but just as Jake. It’s a little different from the Converge sound. Slowed down and moody, but still dark as hell. And like usual, Jake has gone above and beyond on the layout and vinyl. 4 different color EPs. Each is one sided where the b-side is laser etched. Check the last picture below to see the best example of the etching. The sleeve itself is pretty rocking too. Lots of small details on this one. Big fan. You can check out more of Jake’s work on his site. Do yourself a favor and pick up a few of those prints.
Have a listen.
See more from jstarnold. He seems to have plenty more where this came from.

Love em or hate me, Converge is one of those bands that seemed to forever change hardcore — your choice on whether that’s good or bad. Their impression on the scene is palpable. Like Youth Of Today or American Nightmare, their ripple has been felt. It doesn’t hurt that they are still going strong nearly 20 years later, dropping intense release after crushing release. What buckywunderlick is selling here is two copies of the double LP Jane Doe repress. Very slick looking. If you don’t like color vinyl, you can always skip over to Deathwish Inc and grab it on black. But seriously, if you don’t like color vinyl, you might be reading the wrong blog …
A few things I love a) dogs, b) tre, c) deathwish inc. Probably in that order. I mean, Tre is a good dude, but dogs are pretty awesome. And Deathwish Inc is a solid label run by solid dudes, but they also released some BoySetsFire albums … so obviously, dogs are cooling than BoySetsFire. I think even Casali and Jaybil can agree with me on that one. The sale of this Horror Show test press will actually benefit many dogs. From Alabama to those pups you see on those heartwrenching commercials. Seriously, those things make me mist up. Dogs rule.
Limited to 19 and released shortly before the band broke up. Don’t miss out on this one, probably not a lot of them popping up.
