Deluxe reissue of Languid's debut LP.Vinyl package includes -- Original art and insert- a 7" reissue of the original 4 track demo. Remastered by Kenko at Communichaos Media.- 18"x24" posterOur take: Desolate Records brings us a deluxe reissue of Resist Mental Slaughter, the self-released 2017 debut from d-beaters Languid, who hail from Edmonton in Canada’s vast middle.
