I can't say enough amazing things about this debut 12"LP from North Carolina's SERRATE. Blistering, visceral, yet somehow catchy. It's like Orchid, Converge, and Crossed in a blender. We've got 12"s on both red and mucus green, which was co-released with Bitter Melody Records. Incredible stuff!!!

USURP SYNAPSE's 'Disinformation Fix' is up for 2x12" pre-order & holy smokes are they moving fast. We only made 500 (shipping late Oct) on hand-poured, colored vinyl with gatefold, laser-cut cover that showcase incredible inner sleeves. A truly monumental band/release on vinyl for the first time.
