Struck by Lightning's 'Serpents' out on vinyl

One of my favorite records of last year is out on vinyl. Struck by Lightning‘s Serpents now comes in a matte laminate gatefold jacket, with double 180g vinyl in limited quantities for three flavors: black (249), gold/black splatter (148), and clear (99). Ryan Patterson of Coliseum did the artwork, and Chris Common dialed in amazing sound: dry, crisp, hard-hitting. The music, a combination of Tragedy, Disfear, and Mastodon, keeps getting better over time. I think people will look back in a decade at this record with reverence. It’s lean and mean, yet big and sad. Now it has a package worthy of its power.
