This is a more technical question for ya..... Whats going on with Sumerian vinyl releases? Silent represses. Not releasing pressing info. Albums not getting pressed (Darkest Hour). ect. Are you guys wanting to move away from vinyl?

Specifically Im referencing what seems to be silent represses that you guys never announced. Is there a reason behind this?

  • Animals As Leaders on green and orange. These were never announced but have made there way in the wild and are going for absurd amounts on eBay and other markets further alienating people that want a legit copy. GoHastings purposefully bumped their prices with the green copy from $29.99 to $149 to try and get people to buy them since no pressing info was released.
  • Periphery II. This was repressed seemingly as a flood of copies have made their way onto the market. (Which, these don't include the lyric sheet inserts which is frustrating).

Just wondering as there a lot of people out here that are Sumerian fans, wanting to support these bands who are more interested in buying vinyl over digital and CD. When a newer album is pressed (or one is pressed in limited quantities) and ends up for hundreds of dollars on eBay, it really sucks. I think just taking a look at Periphery-Clear tour copies going for $150 ebay already is a testament to the frustration.

I love you guys regardless though. I love my vinyl and love supporting bands in the process.
