Guys document #8 was definitely repressed. I know this since I saw it a few months ago. You can probably still get it.

Doc. 8 is the easy one to find...it's the earlier ones that are a bitch. I got lucky and found Doc. 7 on CD for 15 bucks; usually on Amazon, used copies are upwards of $50. Singles is definitely still available, and well worth the price.

Awesome! I'm curious to know whether they play all the softer stuff from Mount Hope, or throw in some of the crazy shit from the first record. You will of course give us a report, yes?

I upped this back in the MF thread back in January, but it kinda ties in nicely with the pg.99 stuff, so i figured i'd do the old copy-and-paste one-two:
--- Quote ---Circle Takes the Square - "As the Roots Undo" (2004)

Yes, the first and foremost of the genres one might use to describe CTTS would be screamo, but they're far from the angst-ridden, asymmetrically-fringed bollocks which passes for it most of the time. As the Roots Undo is an epic, bleak, violent, atmospheric album, gripping from start to finish. It's also got a pretty indepth concept behind it, explained in the liner notes:
--- Quote ---In a nutshell the concept behind the songs was to document the different points on a path to self-realization. In our interpretation of this journey, the wanderer ends up essentially in the same place that he or she began, if not humbled and even more overwhelmed. In a sense the ending is somewhat tragic, but without experiencing all of the lows how can anyone ever appreciate the amazing subtleties that this world has to offer? And so, if the search for beauty and understanding is cyclical and unending, then at least we'll never stop experiencing the thrill of the hunt...

Having said that, the album is amazing regardless of whether or not you try and follow the concept. And if you like it, it's definitely worth picking up the CD, as the packaging is intricate and pretty kickass.

upping a few other things atm that i'll add once they're done...
EDIT: ...and they're done!
Snapcase - "End Transmission"
--- Code: ---http://www.mediaf!re.com/?mibmz0qtvyw

Really weird experimental hardcore - it's got a VERY slight nu-metal twist to some of the guitar riffs, but not enough that you should be put off. A very atmospheric record with lots of strange interludes; I found it took several listens to get into, but once it clicked, it was instantly fucking awesome.
Hour of the Wolf - "Waste Makes Waste" EP

These guys kinda sound like Black Flag stabbed The Misfits, and then their corpses reanimated and chased them down a long alleyway, crashing into every trash can on the way. In other words, BADASS. I saw them live at The Fest last year, and frankly, they're insane... Which made for a BRILLIANT set. The great thing about this EP is that it actually captures their live energy perfectly!
Will:
That Snapcase record is one of my favorite hardcore records ever, also my favorite Snapcase record.
CTTS...my friends The Pax Cecilia played a show with them at a firehall once and it was honestly one of the best shows I've ever seen. The fuckers need to finally get around to releasing a followup to As The Roots Undo though; they've been touring that album for 5 years now!
spoon_of_grimbo:
they had a blog about the recording of the follow up, and a song called "ritual of names" played live on youtube, but that was about a year ago and there's been nothing since. i'm pretty confident that when they DO come out with another album it'll be an absolute killer. and the pax cecilia are fucking EPIC! i got a copy of "blessed are the bonds" back when they were giving those away, and it's amazing. tell them they need to do a UK tour!
