Blood & Ink Recs to release Strongarm vinyl

Posted by Jon E. on June 13, 2010

Official press release: We are extremely pleased to announce that Blood & Ink Records will be releasing the seminal Spirit-filled hardcore album Atonement by Strongarm on vinyl LP. Nearly a year in the making and 15 years after the original release of Atonement on CD and cassette by Tooth & Nail Records, we will be pressing this classic release on vinyl for the first time ever (and currently the only in-print format)! The legacy of Strongarm is unquestionable. Alongside fellow South Floridians and friends Shai Hulud, Strongarm forged an entirely new take on hardcore, combining the genre's power with more technical and melodic elements unlike any had done before. What would follow is a long line of great music, all with direct roots in this incredible band. The list of bands citing Strongarm as an influence goes on and on: Life In Your Way, Saints Never Surrender, Means, It Prevails, Dependency, and many more. Not only did Strongarm have a major impact on the Spirit-filled scene, but hardcore in general felt their awesome reach. More details and pre-orders for this LP version of Atonement will be announced soon.
