Exclusive to vinyl?!?

I assume no one is buying this because we all bought the limited edition 7-inches. We were told, after all, that the single was exclusive to vinyl. Now I have a (super sweet actually) record collection again. The song, in any format, is just a badass as anything you'll ever hear. Lyrically it mirrors later Converge releases, combining a Classical (in this case Spartan - is that Frank Miller's Gorgo gracing the cover?) ideology and awareness of the destructive necessity of life with the quite modern ethical possibility of choice. "All of the wounded that need to be saved, looked for a handout beyond the gates. And I need to know if their blood was worth it, as we live this inferno and burn down to the bone. All of the arrows that plunge into prey, are their promises of better days. And I need to know if their blood was worth it, as we live this inferno. Because I would rather die on my shield ... as love's war wages on. (All of our pain is worth it, together we fall apart.)" Musically this is Converge hardcore with an extended dissident intro. As good as anything they've done if you ask me. For fans of Converge.
