7/25/17 - KATASTROF - S/T EP OUT NOW!!


Coming to you live from the heatwave that is currently gripping the capital city of Virginia, here's another edition of the "New Release from Beach Impediment Blog Post Thing" - this month we're bringing you some FIIIIINE Swedish hardcore; a debut recording crafted by some veterans from that sector of the world / that particular style of hardcore punk that are pretty damn good at what they do as evidenced by their respective catalogs, feel me? At any rate, enough jawing, read on for more info on the aforementioned hardcore slab, some distro additions, a glimpse at what's next, and other fun stuff in that vein:

Beach Impediment is proud to present the US pressing of the debut release by Sweden's KATASTROF. A few years after the demise of their short lived yet utterly fantastic project known as INSTITUTION, the voice of TOTALITÄR and the riff boss of HERÄTYS have come together yet again to bring us some more top shelf mangel; a style that they've proven to be knowledgeable in the composition and execution of for quite some time now. Five tracks recorded at Communichaos Clay Station that will please any enthusiast of the genre / art form that is Swedish hardcore. Each record comes in a glue pocket sleeve and includes a download code.

There are 100 copies on WHITE VINYL available for mailorder while they last.

UPDATE: WHITE VINYL sold out within a few hours and is no longer available.

You can buy copies of the record over at the Beach Impediment Records Big Cartel.

The record is also streaming in its entirety and available for download over at the Beach Impediment Records Bandcamp.

In the event you're interested in obtaining wholesale copies of this release (and any others) or have any other questions, please drop a line to beachimpediment[at]gmail[dot]com

And for my Euro folks out there, the great ADULT CRASH from Copenhagen, Denmark will be handling the European pressing of the record, please obtain it from them once its officially out in the very near future.

The following distros / stores / etc either already have copies of the record or will have em in the near future: SORRY STATE, STATE LAUGHTER, MATERIAL WORLD NYC, BRAIN ABUSE, DEEP THOUGHTS JP, SOAP AND SPIKES, NECK CHOP, HAVOC RECORDS, ALL DAY RECORDS, DISCOS MMM, BIOCIDIO, TODO DESTRUIDO, and some others that are still in the works and/or that I'm blanking on at the moment.
