meltdown 7"

yeah, rsd sucks! you know why? because for the first time i dragged my tired ass into a line before a record store in hamburg (and after that into two more) and came up short on all the stuff i was interested in, three releases to be exact. and i swear that kid before me snagged one of them. ahh well, i should have known better than this. we'll see if the internet can help out. but now to the record at hand. meltdown's self-titled 7".
i scored their demolition 12" pressing including the demo on ebay two years ago. i liked their stuff but wasn't overly excited. so this fell in my lap by chance, so to speak. the seller i got the die young split 7" from was also offering this slab of wax and i got this for a handful of pennies. i have to admit that these three songs are awesome. groove-laden metallic hardcore with a thrash edge to it. check out the first song 'no tomorrow'. boy, what a scorcher!
in that form i could use some more meltdown tunes but i think they disbanded years ago. this 7" came out in 2008 so it's already six years old - man, time flies. 2000 copies were made in total. 300 copies on clear vinyl, 700 copies on black w/ grey splatter vinyl and 1000 on metallic silver vinyl. as you can see i have a silver one. the cover comes on nice matte cardboard with an embossed 'm' on front and back. looks pretty neat! malfunction records/deathwish inc. 2008.
