7Degrees Records and GRIND are thrilled to announce their new collaboration as the wait is over – the vinyl version of the UNCONTAMINATED BY DUST OF OLD EP is here!
Originally released in digital form in August 2024 as a supplement to the album GRACE AND MISERY, UNCONTAMINATED BY DUST OF OLD comes as a single-sided 12 inch EP in a beautiful screen-printed cover and is refined by a screen print of the band logo on the B-side, in an edition of 200 copies – something for the collector’s passion!
Musically, the EP ties in with the cross-genre extreme metal / grindcore of the album and lyrically, the EP is also an extension of the LP GRACE AND MISERY.
So this is also about the relationship between people.
RAW LIVING tells of the starting point of Leviathan, a natural state in which man is a wolf to man.
SHAME focuses on the emotion of shame.
CAPITAL LETTERS, for which there is also a video, is lyrically appropriate but more explicit in its language.
René, the band’s guitarist, comments:
„I would like to expand a little on this: I have had multiple sclerosis for over 20 years and, in addition to numerous limitations that are invisible to others, I have been using a wheelchair for years. In everyday life, but also at concerts (both on and off stage), I encounter many pragmatic solutions, but also something like logistical/structural discrimination. I am not alone in this.
Some time ago, Nathalie launched MusInclusion, a series of interviews on precisely this topic. Her daughter has spina bifida and MusInclusion exists because the question arose as to whether she would be able to attend concerts with her daughter later on. Nathalie wrote the text for CAPITAL LETTERS. She says: „The text is (my) utopia of an inclusive world, as our daughter – and all other people with disabilities! – should experience.“
I also joined MusInclusion some time ago and (co-)conducted a few radio interviews – but we are also active in other ways. In June, for example, we are organizing our second inclusive band workshop in Marbach with children/young people with and without disabilities, because we don’t see inclusion as exclusive, but strive for a world in which equal opportunities, participation and free development are not empty words, but are simply lived.
If you would like to support this project, you can do so with the EP. Round up the amount and become a supporter.
I can tell you that the first band workshop last year triggered a lot in me and it was one of the most meaningful experiences in my life.“
