With 2012 comes a new release from hardcore punk’s most unconventional act, Bullet Treatment. For those not cued in, Bullet Treatment features a revolving door of members on every release, and they literally wouldn’t have it any other way. Brainchild behind the LA based project, Chuck Dietrich, has had a wide cast of members over the years, including (relatively) consistent members Matt Caughthran from The Bronx on vocals and Dave Hildago from Social Distortion on drums.

In 2009 we saw the first volume of “Designated” via Fat Wreck Chords. The idea behind the record was unconventional, even for Bullet Treatment’s standards – featuring 6 tracks of exactly the same music with a different singer putting their own vocals and lyrics over the song – without hearing any of the other vocalist’s renditions prior to recording their own. Confused yet? Vol. 1 featured a showcase of Fat’s bands, past and present, including notables like Tim McIlrath from Rise Against and Johnny from the Swingin’ Utters.

“Designated Vol. 2” will be out early this year on Think Fast! Records with an exact date to surface in the coming weeks. The release will be available on limited 7” colored vinyl and digital download. Confirmed vocalists include Andrew and Scott from Comeback Kid, Jordan from Vultures United, Ryan and Billy from Outbreak, Liam from Cancer Bats, Matt from The Bronx, and Nuno from A Wilhelm Scream.

If we’ve learned one thing from this contest, it’s that in 2011, Earth Crisis still has some of the most loyal (and maybe a little bit crazy) fans that a band could ever hope for. We had a blast sorting through the entries, but unfortunately we could only pick 3 winners...

Runner Up #2:
Marty T. from Wilmington, NC

In the photo evidence submitted, Marty is clearly inspiring a future generation of Earth Crisis fans, therefore we thought he (and the wee one) were worthy of the runner up prize. Marty has been vegan straightedge for 17 years, and even his family has followed suit, including his wife Dawn, son Carson, and even 3 month old Zoe (pictured below).

Runner Up #1:
Chris Z. from Michigan City, IN

Chris not only has an impressive collection of Earth Crisis vinyl (boasting several super-rare test pressings), but he’s also the proud owner of the original photography used throughout Gomorrah’s Season Ends. Check out the evidence below:

Grand Prize:
Chip W. from Miami, FL

Chip was an easy choice for the grand prize, seeing how he has a collection of over 100 Earth Crisis shirts. He’s been collecting for over a decade and has various gems including an original Forgiveness Denied tee (limited to 12) and more than one of the first ever Earth Crisis tees in existence (nearly 20 years old). Chip has been an avid Earth Crisis fan ever since hearing Firestorm back in ’95.”I am proud to say that after 17 years, I still love the band as much as I did the first time I heard them.”



Now that the fun and games are over, head on over to our webstore and pick up a limited edition colored vinyl version of the latest Earth Crisis album, "Neutralize The Threat" - you won't be dissapointed.

Best Earth Crisis worship photo wins all three colored vinyl variations of the new LP "Neutralize The Threat" + Earth Crisis mesh shorts and t-shirt! Lambgoat is hosting the contest, so head on over there to enter. P.s. face tattoos result in automatic disqualification as this guy would clearly win: http://tinyurl.com/3orequb

Earth Crisis' latest album, "Neutralize The Threat", has been receviing some killer press! Here's a few of our favorite excerpts thus far:

"an ace melding of intriguing subject matter and killer sounds."
- Revolver

"well-balanced, it's not over produced and is generally a delight on the ears. A top notch effort from everyone involved."
-MetalAsFuck.net

"I don’t see how any fan of the band can be truly disappointed in this record."
- StereoKiller

"Neutralize the Threat" is a headshot of energy that could give a shit about fiddling with trends or impressing you with its jazz-fusion shred lessons. Not for the squeamish."
