Brand New Devil And God Vinyl Delayed

Brand New's 'The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me' vinyl release has been pushed back till April 6th, 2010 as well as the pre-order date now, which will now be February 2nd, 2010.

Academy Fight Song Records made the following statement:

"After much contemplation and thought, we have decided to delay the pre-order and release date for Brand New's "The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me" double 180 gram LP by THREE weeks. The pre-order will now begin on February 2nd, 2010 and the release date is now slated for April 6th, 2010.

We apologize any annoyance this may cause you, but we want to assure you that the pre-order WILL be going up on February 2nd, without any further delays. Without getting too specific, we chose to delay the release in an attempt to compromise with the band themselves who have been working on a separate vinyl version of the release.

Our release will be comprised of two 180 gram LPs housed in an extra heavy gatefold jacket, with black flood printing inside each pocket, and a combination of matte and spot gloss finishes on the front and back covers. The LPs will be in thick solid black innersleeves as well, a finished package that will look both beautiful and super sharp.

Likewise, we will be donating $1 from each record sold to the Long Island-based charity Island Harvest, who devotes 97 cents of every dollar donated to efforts to fight hunger. Here's a little more about what they do:

Our volunteers and staff “rescue,” or collect, good surplus food from over 600 local restaurants, caterers, farms, and other food-related businesses; and distribute it to a network of close to 500 soup kitchens, food pantries, and other places where those in need can access it. We also conduct educational programs to increase hunger awareness and inform the public how they can get involved in our mission to end hunger and reduce food waste on Long Island. - Island Harvest

We appreciate your understanding, and as always, your support of what we do."

In light of this, Merch Direct are selling a double white pressing of the album which can be pre-ordered now HERE.
