Clear Grape Colored Vinyl. Ava Luna's self-titled album is an introspective and grounded collection that marks a significant evolution for the quartet. The acclaimed group - now consisting of Carlos Hernandez, Julian Fader, Ethan Bassford, and Felicia Douglass - has stripped back their sound to it's core.

This deliberate focus on the rhythm section was a key part of their creative process, ensuring the songs could stand strong in their most stripped-down before any additional layers were introduced. Julian specifically cites Soul Coughing as an influence, particularly their use of crude sampling, which can be heard scattered throughout the record, including on InchFrame of Us,Inch where their powerful rhythm section.Moving beyond traditional lead and backup

Systematic Death need no introduction to fans of the classic Japanese hardcore mayhem that has erupted from that country since punk first found it's footing there in the 80's. Straight out of the gate, from their first self-released EP in 1984, through their next blistering EP's on legendary early Japanese hardcore labels Hold Up and Selfish Records, culminating in the ultra-classic InchFinal InsiderInch LP released in 1987, this band has set the standard for Japanese thrash ever since. This new brings 5 new classics. Unmatched in speed and intensity, and screaming with anger and hope, Systema Eleven shows SYTEMATIC DEATH still wreaking havoc, and forever a force to be reckoned with.
