OF MALICE AND THE MAGNUM HEART (20TH ANNIVERSARY ORANGE CRUSH VINYL)

The title of this 2004 classic is an apt one; Of
Malice and the Magnum Heart brought melody
and emotion to the metalcore genre like few
albums before and since, particularly on the
devastating "The Year Summer Ended in June,"
which commemorates the deaths of Jordan
Wodehouse and Daniel Langlois of the Misery
Signals precursor band Compromise, killed by a
drunk driver in Heflin, Alabama.
For its 20th anniversary, and
for its FIRST release on vinyl
at American retail, we're
pressing this one in "orange
crush" vinyl, complete with
a lyric insert. Complex time
signatures, complementary
dual guitar parts, and
experimental interludes (e.g.
the instrumental "Worlds &
Dreams") make for a thinking and feeling man's metal album...
recommended!
