Gutted - Bleed for Us to Live VINYL

GUTTED - Bleed for Us to Live (REPULSIVE ECHO - LP 2019)
The whole vinyl fashion has one very positive aspect - it allows labels to release more vinyl than ever before, and not only do so with new albums, but also reissue some old ones. Or give a vinyl treatment to albums, which never had seen a black wax before. So, if you're a vinyl collector then there's pretty good chance that you will finally be able to grab a copy of an old classic. There are still quite few albums, which I miss on LP - "Saltrubbed Eyes" (Seance), all Fleshcrawl, "In Dark Purity" (Monstrosity), both Lemming Project, "The Essence" (Torchure), "Drawings of the Dead" (Mangled Torsos), "Indicium De Mortuis" (Immortalis), Afflicted demos, "Nothing but Dead Remains" (EOS), "Calamity" (Betrayer), "Promises Impure" (Demented Ted), "Deceased" (Accidental Suicide), "s/t" (Victims of Internal Decay)... and few more. I'm very glad that finally I can cross off one title from this endless list. And it's all due to Repulsive Echo's killer vinyl edition of "Bleed for Us to Live" by the fuckin Gutted!!!!!!! Yes! What a great news and what a killer vinyl quality from this label. I got exactly what I wanted, honestly. 
Heavy thick record, limited to 500 copies on black wax and 500 on triple colour vinyl, with a nice inlay, small poster... The artwork looks absolutely gorgeous on big format, so bloody and creepy. And the music... Well, I have already written review of "Bleed for Us to Live" twice, so I'm not gonna repeat everything again. But the record sounds fantastic. The sound is crispy, the music is powerful, brutal and certainly the sound of the vinyl will not disappoint the LP format maniax. I'm absolutely satisfied. This is the way I like to listen to old school death metal the most. Obviously Gutted was never a popular band, they were destined to rot in the depths of the underground, which is also why their two albums were so difficult to find. And fuckin expensive. But finally, they're available on CD and now also on vinyl. And I can say that Gutted music still sounds great and it stood the test of time very well. So, if you dig stuff like Baphomet / Banished, Obituary, then you better grab a copy of the LP or CD before it's too late. It's absolutely mandatory release, in my opinion. Good work!
