Here we are, with less than two weeks to go, and a long way to our goal.
Yes, our goal is the same (it can’t be changed anyway), and yes, the perks are the same (we even added a couple more), but here’s the deal: we want to make this special for you. So we are re-thinking the LP a little bit.
What are we going to do? It’s going to be very limited, probably to 100 copies (we know in the perks it says 300, but again, you can’t change this stuff after the campaign has started). Instead of printing a blown up version of the artwork, our plan is to do a two-color, screen-printed gatefold sleeve, hand assembled and numbered. We are going to DIY this thing, we want to put our blood, sweat, and tears into this so you can have not only a vinyl version of Filth, but a truly unique piece for your LP collection.
That being said, we’ve conceded that that raising $2,675 in the next 13 days probably isn’t going to happen. The good news is that by going the limited, super-DIY route, we’ll be cutting our costs nearly in half, and you’ll get a better, cooler product in the end. So yes, we are still asking for your support, for you to take part in the creation of this—but we’re going to be happy with whatever we make by the end of this. And that might not be anywhere near the goal amount, and that’s OK. Anything will help offset the cost of getting these pressed.
So please consider giving. Any amount helps. We’re just two guys trying to give something back to you for being into this humble project in the first place.
Thank you so much,
Collin & Jack

No labels. No masters.
You may have heard we were releasing our new full-length Filth on vinyl a few months ago. Unfortunately, things didn't really work out with the label that was planning on releasing it.
So we've decided to take things into our own hands and DIY this thing—self-releasing has always been Maranatha's preferred way of getting music in your ears anyway.
Haven't heard it yet? Go listen (and download it free) here.
That's where we need your help.
Pressing vinyl is a pretty big expense. And believe us, if we had the money, we'd just go for it. Making sure our children have food to eat and clothes to wear, well, kind of has to be our priority. By pre-ordering your copy (or helping in any way you can), you can help us offset the cost and make this vinyl release happen.
It's ready to go.
Since an LP was the plan from the beginning, we've already had it mastered specifically for vinyl by Brad Boatright at Audioseige (so you know it sounds good). The artwork is done. Everything is ready. The only thing missing is the funds.
An exclusive shirt.
If you contribute at the $40 level or above, you'll also get this exclusive t-shirt, only produced for this campaign:
Thank you in advance.
