The growing label Demons Run Amok from Germany just released three titles that I needed to buy badly. The first one I needed was the vinyl version of the first Sai Nam release. Oddly Reaper Records only released this on compact disc. But it seems that Demons Run Amok got the message and they wisely gave it the vinyl treatment it deserves.
Sai Nam is a band with lots of Hardcore all stars in the line-up:
- Justice from Trapped under Ice on vocals
- Mike Dijan from Breakdown, Crown Of Thornz
- Lou Medina from All Out War, Breakdown
- Dean Baltulonis who produced several Hardcore releases
As you can read, lot’s of New York Hardcore veterans. The lotus on the cover is symbol of the rebirth. And lyrics deal with love, life and inner demons. The most striking text is according to me the lyrics of the song “Comeback” where miserable feelings induced by returning and haunting visions lead to despair. But also as the title suggest songs about a crush on someone and also about eternal love. The true soul of Justice revealed somewhat in these lyrics. I can relate to them big time. The record is pressed on three colours and a black version. Only 500 in total. So you can guess how limited the coloured editions are. Namely all three of out 100 copies. And the standard black is out of 200.
