Slimewave Series

when relapse first announced the releasing of the slimewave series of 7 inches i was so excited...i hadn't bought many records lately because everything is on cd and digital download these days, and i was really stoked about the lineup of bands they had appearing on the series, not to mention the limited, hand numbered, colored vinyl aspect to the whole deal...they had me hooked and they knew it...i bought the first 7" when it was released, the Machetazo & Total Fucking Destruction split and i was completely satisfied...but then something happened that totally rained on my grindcore parade...relapse announced some changes to the series....originally part 5 was going to be Rompeprop & Fuck I'm Dead and then part 6 was supposed to be Gut & XXX Maniak...those were the two 7"'s that i was looking forward to hearing the most, i love all those bands, especially Rompeprop, so imagine my dismay when they announced that Rompeprop, Gut, and Fuck I'm Dead would not be appearing on the series...instead for part 6 they would have Mumakil & Inhume and part 5 would be XXX Maniak & Throatplunger...now nothing against those 'replacement' bands, if you will, i like them too...but i think it was really shitty of relapse to hype everyone up on a series and then let them down like that in the middle of releasing the series...i mean what was i gonna do? not buy the rest of the records and complete the set? i couldn't do that and relapse knew it, those dirty bastards...i oughta sue em for false advertising and tell them they can pay me in records....but regardless of my beef with relapse over this series, it is a kickass collection of some really great grind and the artwork alone is worth every penny...i imagine this is sold out now because it was limited to only 1000 copies but relapse released all the tracks on cd for everyone who missed out http://rapidshare.com/files/160812742/VA-SGS_By_Metalazo.rar
