carnifex - until i feel nothing

carnifex released a new record last year called 'die without hope'. i was pleasantly surprised at how much i came to like it. with this high feeling i checked what other albums of the band might be pressed to vinyl. so i found out that the predecessor of 'die without hope', 'until i feel nothing' by name, got a nice colour treatment by chicago's victory records.
as victory pressed this to coloured vinyl only, it was a no-brainer to order from a german distro. i ordered with hhv because they had a reasonable priced copy in stock and doing serious record business with them had always been a pleasure so far. no exception this time as well. the record itself is a very good deathcore album. carnifex just knows how to perfectly deliver very heavy and catchy neck-breakers.
the artwork isn't really my thing here, though but i appreciate the fact that it's drawn and not another heartless computer imagery. on a side note: this album was produced by the band and tim lambesis. the tim lambesis who once sang for as i lay dying and now serves his sentence in jail for hiring an assassin to eliminate his wife. crazy world. 400 copies made on marbled neon green vinyl. victory records. 2011.
