hi friends, both of our upcoming releases are delayed a bit.

The Mr Willis Of Ohio 7 inch, titled “Eure Welt” will be ready in some weeks. The records are already pressed and on their way to us but there was a lot of trouble with the covers so the band and we decided to make the covers by ourselves. As this is a split release of Impure Muzik, Synalgie Records, Moment Of Collapse Records, Ape Must Not Kill Ape Records and us nearly every label will have a different cover of this record. Marianne will have some of the records with here at the Cry Me A River Fest 2008.

The Only For The Sake Of Aching LP will be hopefully released in september. The recordings are not finished yet, and since they are on tour with Amalthea the released is a bit delayed. But expect some big progress for the band and look forward to this LP, it will blow you away. We can’t wait to get this out!

Yes, it is announced for a long time, but now the records are pressed and React With Protest is only waiting for the covers of the third and last part of the 30-second-screamo-hardcore-compilation-series Emo Annihilation. This time it is a lovely 6 Inch with lots of great bands. The almighty Titan have 50 limited tour editions with different covers with them on tour.
