all for nothing is a hardcore band from the netherlands. to anyone who is remotely familiar with european hardcore, this is no big news because they are around since 2004 or something and had been releasing records through numerous labels, such as swell creek, demons run amok and gsr music. i also have their two previous records but in favour of currency i start here with their latest output, "what lies within us".
and what a good album we have here. lots of great hooks, sing-alongs and some melancholic melodies make for a very good modern hardcore record. the only problem that may occure is that "what lies within us" will probably wear out fast. i mean the songs are all very well executed but there is nothing novel that stands out for this album and that makes you want to listen to it over and over again. but you know what you get here and that's more than solid.
i pre-ordered this over at gsr music distro. the most limited colour was black vinyl out of 100 copies. yeah black, so i shit on that and went for the white w/ blue splatter vinyl out of 150 copies. especially the b-side with the more subtle splatter looks real nice. another 150 copies of white w/ black splatter also out there. listen to 'luctor et emergo' and buy your copy here. gsr music. 2014
