Gray Before My Eyes

"Raze / Hatelust" 7"

I first had dealings with the singer of Gray Before My Eyes, Mike Roberts, when I traded for some of his band's Adventures in Immortality 7"s, which was self-released. I'm not sure at what point I asked to release some of this Orlando, FL band's material, but when I received it I knew it was something special. This band had an ill-fated tour with Seven Years War, and it was during this tour that I was able to see Mike Roberts perform for the first time. From that point I knew I wanted to be involved with anything he touched. That Green Bay, WI house show was not well attended, but the power and emotion coming through that man was incredible. They released a split LP with Instil on Track Star Records, then GBME split and Song Of Kerman formed. Two of SOK's three releases were on Moo Cow.

Pressing Info: 1000 black vinyl, 100 white vinyl. The white vinyl was the final press. About 950-1000 of the 7"s had offset printed covers, but the first 100-150 or so had screened covers on a light cardboard stock. Not many of those had Moo Cow stamped on the back of the cover, but it is on the matrix.
