turmoil - the process of

turmoil is one of those bands that i think got lesser attention than they deserved. maybe i am wrong because they have been releasing stuff through century media, which is a rather big label, but it seems that turmoil always comes second compared to other metallic hardcore bands of the nineties, bands such as earth crisis, snapcase or strife. whatever it might have been or if it even was that way at all, i really like turmoil.
i have two 7"es of them, 'who says time heals all wounds' and 'anchor'. i didn't post about the latter one yet but coincidentally my mate jake did a few days before. as i have a lot of love for those two 7"es it was clear that i also wanted their full length from the last year of the bygone century. unfortunately i could never make it happen, not until this year in cologne's finest record shop called underdog store.
somehow the re-press of 2014 by escapist records from the states completely passed me by. so i was quite surprised to find a coloured version sitting at underdog. especially on a colour i never saw before. i grabbed the record without hestitation and made it mine. later i found out that escapist did a fifteen years anniversary pressing with original artwork and an insert with some personal impressions of persons related to the release and/or band in one form or another. only downer is the super flimsy cover. 327 copies on clear gold. escapist records. 2014.
