ORDER UPDATES
Orders are starting to ship today, so you should be getting a confirmation number in your e-mail fairly soon. I really want to thank everyone for their patience! The records look and sound amazing, I don't think anyone will be disappointed.
Colored vinyl is really low on everything and in some cases sold out! A lot of the releases have been picked up by other distros as well, so keep checking your favorite distro as they will likely have all the new releases along with a ton of other great stuff.
DISTRO UPDATES
I am going to start running the distro much differently from now on. I am going to get small batches of killer stuff and put it in the distro every few weeks. Make sure to check back here for updates! I want to be a go to distro for people with the latest and greatest demos, zines, reissues, and new releases.
FUTURE RELEASES
As for the label a ton of stuff is happening this year and next. Here is a small sample of what you can expect in the coming months:
Trench Rot 2nd 7", Koma Kids 7", Vaginors 7", Betong Hysteria Demo reissue 7", ASHtoDUST 7", Veld 12", and lots more!
Thanks for the support!

SIX NEW RELEASES OUT NOW! STOIC VIOLENCE DEMO AND COLD COMFORT ZINE OUT NOW!
Hey everyone and welcome to the biggest Video Disease Records release update EVER!
For those of you who don't want to read my big write up, go ahead and head on over to the store because 6 releases are done, along with a brand new demo tape, a new zine I put together, and over 100 new distro items!
Check it out here:
For reasons beyond my control 6 new releases are out today! I didn't really intend for 6 releases to come out, but certain things got delayed and I just decided to release everything at once.
White Walls "Full Flavor" 7"
Yadokai "2nd" 7"
Francis Harold and the Holograms "The White Bull Weeps From Valhalla" 12"
Redflesh "Raw War" 7"
White Guilt "S/T" 7"
Hunted Down "Life's Womb" 7"
Also released today is the demo tape from new southern California HC juggernauts Stoic Violence.
The final thing being released today is the brand new Cold Comfort zine, reprinting rare interviews with Wretched, Final Warning, Negazione, and N.O.T.A.
All of this is available for wholesale so if you want something just shoot me an e-mail.
I am also going to stop hoarding distro stuff, I didn't really mean for it to happen this time around but since a lot of the releases got delayed it was the only thing I could do. From now on I will be filtering in distro stuff to the webstore so make sure to add me to your bookmarks and keep checking back!
I really want to thank everyone for their patience with these records, times have been a bit tough around here because I lost my job back in November, but after selling a few personal items I was able to get everything out on time.
Thanks to everyone who supports the label. I have a feeling that these are the best releases yet and that you will all be really excited for these releases! I have included free download links with all of the releases since I have been getting so many requests for them.
Thanks again, any questions please get in touch
-Branden

RELEASE DATE FOR ALL 6 RELEASES IS APRIL 19TH 8PM PST
All six of the new releases on Video Disease Records will be available in the web store on April 19th at 8PM PST, along with a ton of new distro stuff. Sign up for the e-mail list over on the “Contact” page to make sure you don't miss out.
I really want to thank everyone for their patience, it wasn't my intention to release 6 records at once but things just ended up falling into place. There will be a special package deal for all 6 releases where you can save yourself some money on shipping and still manage to get the special mail order editions of all the releases.
The distro update will be very big this time around, lots of cool tapes, records, and even a few exclusive shirt designs from Francis Harold and the Holograms.
The “Discography” section has been completely updated with artwork and audio samples.
FREE DOWNLOADS
Since I am always getting requests for digital versions of the releases I am going to start offering free downloads once the new releases are out. You do not have to purchase the new releases in order to get the free download, but it is highly encouraged.
STOIC VIOLENCE DEMO TAPE
The debut demo from Stoic Violence is finally ready for mass consumption and will be available with all five of the new releases. Although this isn't being released on the label (it's called Video Disease Records after all) I will be selling them in the webstore and distributing them to any distros or stores who are interested in carrying it. I will upload some audio samples soon.

It's been a long time without an update so I figured it's about time to make a formal announcement about the big plans I have for Video Disease in 2012.
The biggest news it that SIX new releases will be available in early 2012. The music section has been updated. The releases are:

All of those should be out in early 2012, most likely around February or March. There will be limited color versions for some of the records, and there will be package deals in the webstore.
OTHER NEWS
In other news I am discontinuing the snail mail list. It is just to time consuming and I can't carry the extra burden at the moment. Sorry to all of you who signed up. The e-mail list will continue to live on however, and you can sign up for it over on the "Contact" page.
TEST PRESS SALE
In order to generate the much needed funds to keep the label going I have put some test presses of past releases on sale in the web store. I also marked a few distro items on sale, so take a look by clicking the "STORE" link on the left side of the page.
FUTURE RELEASES
There is no sign of slowing down Video Disease in 2012, here is a sample of just some of the new releases we have planned for the new year:
