when i sent back the black grieved "samaritans" lp to italy, i was a little pissed to pay extra shipping for a mistake that was clearly not mine. in the meantime anchors aweigh released a split 7" between grieved and a band called runes. i thought hey, why not asking the anchors guy if he could throw in a copy to make up for the hassle? he was cool enough to do so.
in the end i didn't pay much for shipping because the post service lady must have made some mistake there. i paid even less than i would have to for domestic shipment. so i bought a digital download of that split, makes it even again i think. now to the music on vinyl. the grieved part is quality as i'm used to with that swedish band. dark and hunting stuff. check out the video to the song "mirage" right here.
runes is a band from brighton, uk. musically it seems an odd choice because they're playing some stoner metal, at least that's what i would call it. but as both bands are on anchors, it makes sense. not really my thing but check their song "depersonalisation" and forge your own opinion. 200 copies on multi-colour splatter vinyl. anchors aweigh records. 2013.
