If you're unfamiliar with our hetero life-mates in Brooklyn, NY's HULL then you owe yourself a hefty ass kick. Not only have we written about them many times in the past, interviewed them, documented their live sets, and even acquired Nick Palmirotto (Guitar/Vocals) to host a show segment, and Sean Bryant Dunn (Bass) to work post production for us, but they are an incredible band you should be stoked to have as part of your music collection. Perhaps you're already a fan of the band, and wondering when I'll get to the point. Well if you're a vinyl enthusiast, you're in luck!
Initially a DIY self release demo in 2005, the Viking Funeral EP (which consist of 1 song that clocks in at about 17 mins) is now being officially released on vinyl via Science of Silence records this spring. The limited edition wax version will come in 180 gram blood red/black swirl vinyl with the song on one side, a laser etched image on the other and a parchment insert with the detailed Viking Funeral saga as well as a sticker and digital download info all wrapped in a Viking Funeral poster and wax-stamped with the band’s logo.
