Harlots Non-Lifeforce Records Discography

Here are all of the Harlots releases besides our last full length on Lifeforce Records "Betrayer". These releases for the most part are out of print (there are probably still some copies floating around, but the record labels aren't really that active anymore), "Betrayer" was the record that we were most proud of, but all of these releases represent some kind of significant change in my life. As flawed as they are at times, I look back and think about all the awesome times I had on tour playing shows in support of these records. All of these downloads come with high resolution artwork.

Harlots - Corellia Single (2009, Self Released)

Corellia Single

This was the last song that Harlots wrote as a band, recorded on an off day of tour by William Hesser (As Eden Burns) in Houston, TX. The song was never played live and self released as a CD Single for the last 3 shows.

1. Corellia
2. Corellia (Instrumental)

Harlots - The Human War Machine EP (2007, Corrosive Recordings / 2006, Self Released)

The Human War Machine EP

"The Human War Machine" was a demo that we cut in 2005/06 that features 3 songs that ended up on "Betrayer". Originally this was self released as a CDR because there was such a holdup on getting "This is the Second Death" out and we wanted something new to sell at shows. Eventually Debello Recordings got in touch with us saying they wanted to release this as a 7", but that never happened. Corrosive Recordings ended up putting this out as a digital release in 2007 with live bonus tracks from Amora Savant's last show in order for us to fulfill our contract. This is one of my favorite Harlots recordings.

1. This Is A Test... No Flesh Shall Be Spared (demo)
2. Building An Empire Towards Destruction (demo)
3. Consensus for the Locus of Thought (demo)
Digital Only tracks:
4. The Weight Unweighable (live)
5. Avada Kedavra (live)
6. Full Body Contortion (live)
7. This Is A Test... No Flesh Shall Be Spared (live)
8. The Concept of Existence (live)
Bonus - Savannah (live Zao cover)

Harlots - This is the Second Death CD (2006, Corrosive Recordings)

This is the Second Death

"This is the Second Death" was recorded in summer of 2004 and was the first recording to feature vocalist Christian Fillippo. Originally this record was mastered by Steve Austin of Today is the Day and set for a release on Lovelost Records in 2005, which never happened. We did 2 or 3 tours in support of this record and Lovelost just never put it out. Corrosive jumped on the table in early 2006 and released it in July of 2006, almost 2 years after it was recorded. The songs "Those Days Seem Several Hundred Years Ago" and "Remote Coagulation" were crowd favorites. Essentially this record is 3 pieces of music (+ a noise piece), and we split the tracks up due to length issues.

1. These are the Paths that We Choose
2. These are the Paths that We Create
3. Moment of Desperation
4. Those Days Seem Like Several Hundred Years Ago
5. Remote Coagulation
6. Moment of Sickness
7. Asceticism
8. War of the Great City
9. Fall of the Matriarch

Harlots - The Woman You Saw is the Great City that Rules Over the Kings of the Earth CD (2004, Feeling Faint Productions)


Photobucket

This is the first Harlots record, recorded in 2003 and released in 2004 on Feeling Faint Productions. I don't know what to think about this record. Originally this was a demo that Eric and I recorded when we were both 17, and we turned into a record because we had no money, and didn't really know what we were doing. We were so excited to have a record out. This was Feeling Faint's first release, and they ended up releasing records by Enola Grey, Across Tundras, Sleep Terror, Nodes of Ranvier, and Red Orchestra Radio, and the label eventually folded. We went through 4 vocalists in trying to make this record, eventually just leaving my vocals on there and Christian joined about a month after this record came out. Oddly enough this is our worst sounding release, and probably our best selling considering we did most of our touring in support of this record due to Lovelost Records not putting out our follow up. A friend of mine described this record sounding like the soundtrack to a nightmare. I think it just sounds like some kids that were really fucking high on drugs. Also, the track listing has been a reoccurring question over the past 6 years, below is the correct track listing. This record and it's follow up are very similar in that it's essentially 3 pieces of music split up due to length issues to make a full length.

I. Evidence of Exits
1. Mystery
2. Babylon the Great
3. The Mother of Harlots
4. ...And of the Abominations of the Earth
II. 5. Balancing the Limbs of Question
a. The Seven Heads Are the Seven Hills On Which the Woman Sits
b. They Have One Purpose and Will Give Their Power and Authority to the Beast
III. The Seasons Will Balance Themselves Out
6. In One Day Her Plagues Will Overtake Her
7. Famine
8. She Will Be Consumed By Fire
9. Widower

  1. Seriously you guys are one of my all-time favorite bands. Betrayer and This Is The Second Death are fucking incredible. Looking back on the way metalcore was in those days and where it is now you guys are/were one of the best bands to come out of the genre. The biggest thing I'm upset about is I've been a fan since This Is The Second death and you've played in Pittsburgh like 3 times and I had no fucking idea and I'm so pissed about that, the live videos are incredible and in person probably sound way better than the recordings of the first two records. I hope that someday you guys will get back to together to play a couple reunion shows, if you do I will not miss it. The biggest thing I could hope for now would be a Betrayer vinyl reissue, that would be fucking awesome, you should talk to lifeforce bout that lol.
