10 Past 12 / Unless You Try (2020)
Several weeks ago I received an email from the Snuff mailing list alerting the world that they had pressed 2 more color variants of the Wrath of Thoth 12". I will admit that I swore a little. Having already purchased 6 different versions of the LP, I was not really up for buying more right at that moment in time. But, as I read through the email, my concerns dissipated a bit. There was a note acknowledging that some people were buying all of the versions and it wasn't their goal to get these duplicate sales when they repressed the records. So the deal was this, if you had all six prior versions and you took a picture of them and sent them in, they would send the two newest variants for free to the first six responders.
Very luckily, I was one of the six. To my surprise, I actually received three new records. I have the new splatter variant (/295) and the silver/white split color variant (/105) and these both look great. Split color vinyl is my person favorite color way and it's always nice to add more of those to the collection. In addition to those two that were advertised, I also received one on orange vinyl. This orange is darker than the orange one I have from the first pressing, so I'm not really sure of the story with this one. I'll have to dig around and see what I can sleuth out. It may just be a transitional color, but maybe not.
As far as the music goes, I wrote more about that in my write up of the other six colors here. The songs on here are great and it makes me eager for another Snuff full length, even though they did just put one out last year. Snuff is an all time favorite band and I love buying their records, but I will definitely be content if the variants for this release end here.
