Self-Publishing Experiment

THE VERY END release their debut album "Vs. Life" as a limited vinyl edition.

2018 marks the 10 year anniversary of The Very End's debut album "Vs. Life". What better way to
celebrate this than with a vinyl release? So a limited, hand-numbered 180g vinyl edition will be available as of May 10th ' a self-publishing experiment!

Dan Swanö (Unisound Studio) did a special full dynamic range for the vinyl version, which also offers an unreleased
bonus-track called "The Black To Come". Additionally, each LP includes an individual download code, which allows everybody who purchased the vinyl version to get a high-quality digital version, too.

This vinyl release is a DIY-experiment.

After the demise of THE VERY END's first label Dockyard1, who originally released "Vs. Life" in 2008, the band regained all publishing rights.

"The rules of the music industry are constantly changing fundamentally", says René Bogdanski, guitar player and founding member of THE VERY END. "Especially in terms of self-publishing and overall DIY aspects the digitalization spawns many interesting new possibilities. While the DIY-scene is already quite vivid overseas, THE VERY ENDgive it a shot and release "Vs. Life" on their own. We just want to see what can be done here and now without any help from a label. Still being signed to Steamhammer/SPV we can operate with a convenient setting", states Bogdanski.

Warm-up for the new album

"Our last album 'Turn Off The World' is already six years old", says singer Björn Goosses. "So a sign of life is way overdue. The vinyl-release of 'Vs. Life' is the perfect warm-up for the new album."

THE VERY END are currently working on their fourth studio album. Goosses: "With our newest member Jerome Reil ' son of legendary Kreator-drummer Jürgen 'Ventor' Reil ' we're at the top of our game." The album production is
scheduled for the second half of 2018.
