"In the mid '90s there was a band from the Twin Cities called IMPETUS INTER who were easily the most influential local band to me ever to this day. And so they broke up. Then 3/5th of them started a new band with a new rhythm section and named it LUX VANITAS. They took the sound of '90s hardcore via Gravity Records/Vermiform that Impetus Inter had championed but incorporated a distinctly more 'garage rock' sound (think The Cramps, The Mummies, The Peechees). Lux Vanitas released a 7" on Mark Telfian's old label, Paralogy Records (that unfortunately suffered a horrible mastering job), and in 1997, created this—a 9-song LP, recorded by former member DAVE GARDNER (who's since done mastering for Hot Snakes, Dillinger 4, The Marked Men, etc.) and mixed by TIM GREEN (of Nation Of Ulysses, The Fucking Champs). Originally planned to be split released by GSL Records and Troubleman Unlimited, it was instead scrapped and lost when the band called it quits before it could come out. And now, here it is. 21 years later.
