For over half my life I collected Cave In records. I enjoyed all of their different eras and just kept picking up more records, to the point where I had virtually every version of every record, including a lot of (but not all) test pressings. And then in 2022 they issued their latest LP 'Heavy Pendulum' which immediately came out on 15 different colours of vinyl, and I said 'fuck it, I'm done' and bought one copy. After 25 years the goal of a 'complete' collection was finished..
I have always thought that trying too hard to define yourself is a pointless endeavour. Labels can be restrictive. So when I saw this green and grey vinyl copy of 'Until Your Heart Stops' there was a moment where I thought to myself 'but you don't collect Cave In records anymore'. But I just wanted it. So I bought it. I guess I'm just a sucker for green vinyl.
This is part of a pressing from 2018 which was on random colours of vinyl. They were pressed shortly after Caleb Schofield passed in order to raise money for his family. I didn't manage to get one at the time, but always kinda wanted one as this record has always ridden high up in my favourite record list (which does not actually exist). Quite a lot of copies seem to be on blue or red, which are very similar to the first pressing, so I was always hoping I could find one on a very different colour. So this green and grey copy ticks all the boxes.
