-the crimson curse clear LP is one sided and no the side with no stuff, its
got black bugs that show through on the other side.
-combat wounded veteran always has rad stuff done with their records, like
the split with scrotum grinder.
-kontrataque 7" was put together with a rad screen printed band that ties
with twine.
-suicide nation's 12" includes a paper bag with a cool little picture screen
printed on it...with the suicida nation name as well.
-acrid/left for dead record was printed on a vinyl the shape of a saw blade.
-new cattle decapitation LP has a gatefold case.
the list goes on of course...and all of these were put out within a year or
so (some re-releases). my point is that bands are still putting out albums
with creativity in the art...you just gotta know where to look.
