Breach 7xLP Box Set

Well, the last entry is five years old and I really don't know where to start here (again). I can't really remember or find it in the papers, when we (Pierre and me) started to talk about and plan a box set, but I guess it must have been around 2015. Since I was always left with 50+ records of each release with a damaged or without a cover, we knew we had to do something. No one of us thought it would take long, but life isn't always easy.

So here we go: The box set features the Breach releases 'It's me god', 'Venom', 'Godbox' and 'Kollapse'. Every record comes in a silver ink handscreened LP cover with different cover artwork and is housed together in a handmade collectors box. Each one of the 50 copies comes with an original 'Godhead' drawing of Pierre Johansson, well-placed in an offset printed inlaysheet with all the other godheads. As always everything is designed by Pierre aswell. Each Box Set copy is handnumbered and personalized and will be shipped insured and with tracking.

Please remind, that this whole thing took a long time, was done almost entirely by hand and is a piece of dedication.

If this is sold out, it will be sold out. One copy per person. I will not take any reservations or answer messages. Thanks for understanding.
Ordered and paid copies will be shipped mid of january.

Let it be clear : few bands have mastered the art of communicating and releasing tension as well as Lorient, France's DEATH ENGINE. Delivered with an effortless austerity, their suffocating brand of noise rock-infused hardcore is unarguably of the most unmerciful sort. Now back to the three-piece that recorded their groundbreaking debut EP "Amen" (2013), the french band returns with "Place Noire", their second full-length.

Recorded live then mixed in Laval by Amaury Sauvé (Birds In Row, Plebeian Grandstand, Necrodancer) and mastered by Karl Daniel Lidén (Breach, Terra Tenebrosa, Crippled Black Phoenix), this record is a natural progression in the band's body of work, full of hypnotic patterns, earth-shaking breaks, menacing bass tones and guitars that swing between desperate, angst-driven riffing & feedback assaults. Then the more emotional, expressive vocal approach and the clean-cut songwriting make of "Place Noire" the band's most memorable work while being more abrasive than ever. Blast it at unreasonable volume and feel your body consuming itself from the inside.

Breach - It's me god 2xLP

It's me god

The circle is now completed: Apocaplexy lastly releases Breach's 2nd full length 'It's me god' (1997) on vinyl. The one where the magic started to happen. I still know the moment when I discovered Breach: At a certain time, I began to check out some samplers to discover some "new" bands, and at some point, I was listening to that 'Cheap Shots III' Sampler of Burning Heart. My lameness got immediately healed, when 'Replenish The Empty' started to play. I felt like I found a diamond in the mud, a beast within a big bunch of Melodypunk, for which Burning Heart mostly stood for.
I fell in love with that band this very second.

Like 'Venom', 'It's me god' will be availabe again on vinyl for the first time within 17 years (the edition on Trust No One Recordings came out 1999). Again licensed by Epitaph Europe, remastered by Karl Daniel Lidén, cut on 45rpm, pressed on 180g vinyl and with a newly designed LP artwork by Pierre Johansson, which is printed full colour, silver ink & UV spot lacquer on heavy gatefold jackets.

According to the bands wish, there will be no further re-releases. No use in asking for 'Friction', 'Outlines', 'EP Collection' or something else.
Thank you.

Terra Tenebrosa - The Purging 2xLP Reissue

I repressed 'The Purging' of Terra Tenebrosa, but to be correct: it's actually a reissue. Like I did it with Kollapse, I switched the pressing plant with this record, but somehow the plates got lost and the beast needed a new cut.
15 Testpressing have been made and their covers need some time, you know the deal. But anyway, again 500 copies on black vinyl available now.

Breach - Kollapse 2xLP Repress Testpress

Since I had to switch pressing plants for the repress of Breach - Kollapse 2xLP, I was in need to do new testpressings and here we go w/ the special covers (handscreened on 450g cardboard) for them. I'm quite slow nowadays, but that's okay.
