By now you know the story, our release of Brand New’s “The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me” has been delayed at the pressing plant. We have been pushing the plant to rush these as quickly as possible, and we should have everything in hand in about 2 weeks. As soon as the records and jackets arrive, we will assemble and ship these out right away, even if that means we don’t sleep for a week straight.

In the meantime, you can find a couple images of the layout below. I’ve asked the pressing plant to send me pictures of the different vinyl colors as they’re pressed. I’ll post them here as soon as I get them. There is a booklet with this release, which mimics the original CD booklet almost exactly.

If you’ve tried e-mailing me in the past week or two, I apologize for the delay getting back to you. All e-mails will be answered by tonight.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me directly at rj@academyfightsong.com

We’ve come out West for this year’s SOUND AND FURY FESTIVAL in Santa Barbara, CA. We have a booth set up, so come hang with us and buy some records!

Friends,

We have had a couple more setbacks with the release of Brand New’s “The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me” 2xLP. After two sets of test pressings, numerous artwork revisions and licensing issues, UMG notified me that their pressing plant couldn’t do the color combinations we decided to go with. After switching pressing plants, we finally received new test pressings (the 3rd set), which I will be listening to and hopefully approving today. We finally have the band’s full approval on the artwork and the test pressings, as well, which was a major obstacle with this release.

That being said, we are working as hard as possible to have the records ready to ship by the end of this month, and no later than early August. I am extremely excited to finally have things in motion and full approvals from all of the parties involved. This release has been an interesting experience, to say the least.

We apologize for the delay, I know it’s frustrating after months of setbacks. If you have any questions or concerns with your order, please don’t hesitate to e-mail me directly: rj@academyfightsong.com. I will post more detailed updates as soon as I have word from the pressing plant on shipment dates.

Thank you,
RJ

If you’ve missed out on the past two pressings of this amazing album, you’re in luck! We have put a very limited third pressing of the LP up in the AFS Webstore. Limited to 249 copies on baby blue/clear purple swirled vinyl, these will for sure be gone fast, don’t miss out!
