Mondo x Death Waltz 10th Anniversary - Merch Drop (On-Sale Info)
News
The Mondo x Death Waltz 10th Anniversary continues! We've had an epic September, with far more than one new release a week, so we figured we would give you an opportunity to catch your breath.
This week, instead, we'll highlight a few titles you may have missed (including Friday's mind-melter TITANE!), as well as spotlight some new merch celebrating our 10th Anniversary. On Wednesday, we'll have some limited edition 10th Anniversary shirts, sweatshirts, totes and slipmats, all featuring fun new designs by our family members here: Eric Garza and Gabe Chicoine. We also will have a shirt dedicated to The Record Shop that we'll keep in rotation all year round.
And remember, only a few weeks left in our celebratory "Free U.S. Shipping on Vinyl Orders Over $100+" deal, so take advantage of it while you can!
Finally, we had some questions about our Eco Vinyl over the last few weeks. In an effort to do our bit for our carbon footprint, we are making some changes for 2022 (but you may start to see these trickle out in late 2021). First, our retail variants will begin being pressed on "Eco Vinyl". This is a method where the plant uses leftover pellets from other jobs and mixes them all together. It creates completely unique colors and means every single record will be individual. More excitingly for us, it helps us reduce waste and our carbon footprint at the same time.
We’ll also switching to 140 Gram vinyl wherever possible. There are several reasons for this, but the main ones are that it uses less plastic (obviously), but also that the majority of the presses used to this day are still optimized for 140 Gram. The industry pivoted toward 180 Gram for collectability, when vinyl was struggling, and it stuck. But, after chatting with our production partners, we believe that good mastering is the basis for a solid record ... and not the weight of the vinyl it is pressed on. (Some us long-term collectors still have 100 Gram vinyl from the 80's that sounds great!)
Lastly, we’ll be moving away from shrink wrap and switching to plastic poly bags, since it seems that most people throw the single use shrink wrap away, but tend to keep over-bags. We are not saying we will change the world (yet), but we can do our little bit to help. So let us know what you think on Twitter.
All of our 10th Anniversary merch goes on sale this Wednesday at 12PM CT on The Record Shop.
