Last Lights - No Past, No Present, No Future 12"

Picked this up at Sound & Fury '09, I think from the label but it might've been a distro. This is the discography of the once up-and-coming Last Lights, who broke up after the sudden, tragic death of their young genius of a lyricist and vocalist, Dominic Mallory. I believe the story was that he suffered a brain aneurysm late into the night after a performance in which he, as he was known for, completely went off during. Not sure if that's true, but if it is then I'd say that's a pretty fucking legit way to go out.

This band was about to be hooked up beyond anyone's imagination, they were about to become a major dent in the hardcore scene as we know it today. Unfortunately, they never got the chance to spread their seed after it had been planted. At least I have this record to keep the memory living in my life. It was a little bit expensive, as it contains some really cool extras, including a booklet with photographs, journal entries by Dominic Mallory, and a photocopy of the setlist from the last show Dom had a chance to perform with Last Lights, which is said to have killed him.

Specifics:
