Von Cosel - The Yarmouth Telegram EP

Year: 2005
Genre: Screamo
Label: Self-released
Note: Sorry for the sudden halt in updates. I don't really have much of an excuse for it too. It's been days of procrastinating or finding other, more preferred things to do. I've been doing a lot of writing for ACRN.com, my blog (which I also need to update), and I've been all over the place. The break stops now... for the time being.

Looking at this album cover immediately took me back to the sweltering summer of 2005. My friend and I checked out a nearby battle of the bands thanks to another friend of mine - on whom I had a small crush at the time. Also around this time was my obsession with anything on Robotic Empire, Level Plane, and Ebullition records. So I jump out of my friend's SUV and practically ran to the stage when I heard this band play midway through their set. They had everyone encircle them and flail around like it was some Hot Cross show, I thought. I was pretty stoked because the high school music scene in my town had no knowledge of this spectrum of music, except for metal and jam bands. Anyways, long story short I booked them in Athens five months later and they broke up sometime afterward. From the ashes of Von Cosel came Landmine/Enzuigiri, the drummer's current project that has a heavier, yet similar, style to the former. They have a demo under the former name (Landmine), which you can download here, and pre-orders for the new 7" can be purchased here or on the drummer's blog.

Songs on The Yarmouth Telegram EP are poorly recorded, but I know there are some curious Von Cosel fans out there who have been looking long and hard for their other releases, other than the "xJKx" song featured on the Emo Armageddon comp - which is also included in this package. If you're down for some screamo and/or want to know where Enzuigiri came from, then download this shit.
