all for nothing - miles & memories

all for nothing is a dutch powerhouse. they released their first record over ten years ago and are still here. i believe they do this more or less completely on a weekend basis. you can feel they're doing the band as their off-time pleasure and not because they have to make a living with the music. especially when playing live, as i was able to witness last persistence tour together with ryker's, ignite and sick of it all.
they play melodic hardcore with a metallic edge to it. the sound they produce might not be the most innovative of all, but it's honest. give me more of that. but now onto the music pressed to vinyl here. it has already been a long ass time since i ordered this record. 'miles & memories' is their second full length album, coming after 'can't kill what's inside'. besides, if anyone out there is willing to let go of their orange copy of 'can't kill...', get in touch!
'miles & memories' saw the light of day in 2009 and was released on cd through gsr music first. it somehow took the album half a year to finally get pressed to polyvinyl chloride. it seems that gsr didn't do any vinyl releases pre 2012, so demons run amok from germany was willing to give the album the format it deserved.
i think i ordered this record together with the human animal / additional time 7" of the last post. i just picked the colour-way that sounded best, not knowing that i chose a 2010 tourpressing leftover. well, not as special as i thought, because all colours are still available. check some tunes and give this underrated record a caring home. 109 copies on white/blue marble vinyl. demons run amok. 2010.
