after 'mind in chains' and 'guilty as charged' were mine, and after i liked these releases quite a bit, i wanted more. and like so many times before the mailorder of my trust, per koro, was there to help me out. after five years of its initial release, they still had the band's self titled 7" in stock. i gladly relieved marcel of some of his warehouse weight.
i don't know if my guess is right, but somehow i've got the feeling that marcel tries to hook me up with some more limited colours of the respective pressing. all my last orders from per koro were mostly packed with vinyl that was not the most common colour way. if that is the truth, then marcel is one of the most decent chaps around for that reason. if not, he still is and i'm just a lucky bastard!
musically, bitter end is pretty close to the sound that followed two years later on 'guilty as charged'. the two songs plus one intro really carries their unique thumbprint, which got developed further on their second album. only small downer is the length of the songs. a little shorter would have kept them more interesting.
the packaging is pretty rad! the cover art, which looks a bit boring at first, is a fold out affair with one of the most intense pictures i have seen. does anyone know which building it shows and the story behind the demolishing? this 7" is pressed on 330 copies on red vinyl, 770 copies on my brown vinyl and 1000 copies on white vinyl. malfunction records. 2008.
*edit: the owner of per koro is of course markus and not marcel. i confused him with demons run amok owner marcel. sorry for this markus, won't happen again!*
