Bleach Everything Unleash SAVAGE/STEAMBOAT 7" X-Ray Flexi-disc & 24-page Wrestling 'zine Ahead of Wrestlemania XXXVI (Dark Operative)
Last we heard from Bleach Everything, they had teamed up with INTEGRITY for a split 12-inch/digital album called SDK x RFTCC. Orchestrated as a tribute to an extremely limited edition 1992 2x7" split from Septic Death & Rock from The Crypt, SDK x RFTTC—or Septic Death Karaoke x Rocket from The Crypt Covers—was released on red, green, and clear-colored vinyl on Halloween 2019 through Dark Operative Records. It features contributions from Septic Death themselves, Riley Gale from POWER TRIP, Mike Kennerty from The All-American Rejects, and Christopher "Royal" King from This Will Destroy You. Now, Bleach Everything have returned with a 7" X-Ray Flexi + 24-page Wrestling 'zine, as well as a 2-track digital single called SAVAGE/STEAMBOAT. It was originally put together by Bleach Everything's Brent Eyestone to coincide with Wrestlemania XXXVI to be held this Saturday/Sunday, April 5-6, 2020 in Tampa, Florida.
However, due to growing concerns surrounding The Coronavirus/COVID-19 global pandemic, Wrestlemania XXXVI has been effectively "cancelled" and will only air on TV this weekend. Eyestone had planned to include the SAVAGE/STEAMBOAT X-ray flexi-discs and 24-page photo 'zines within "VIP gift bags for mega-fans attending the dozens of independent wrestling shows surrounding Wrestlemania in Tampa." Said wrestling photo 'zine collects photos Eyestone has taken t various shows and events held in Southern California & Las Vegas in recent years. Bleach Everything's "Savage" & "Steamboat" were originally recorded in 2012 as a homage to Randy "Macho Man" Savage & Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat's infamous showdown at Wrestlemania III (1987.) "Savage" was previously released as part of Dark Operative's 2018 comp. It Came from The Abyss, Vol. 1, but, it appears as though, "Steamboat" hasn't seen the light of day, until now.
Earlier this morning, we received our own copy of Bleach Everything's SAVAGE/STEAMBOAT flexi-disc and 'zine, which features a foreword by Brent Eyestone himself, along with black-and-white images of wrestlers Brian Pillman, Jr. Teddy Hart, Davey Boy Smith, Asuka, Charlotte Flair (Ric's daughter,) Pentagón, Jr. Dustin Rhodes & Cody, Simone Sherie & Taya Valkyrie, Priscilla Kelly, Orange Cassidy & Marko Stunt, Cryme Tyme, Kenny Omega, Brandi Rhodes, The Young Bucks, and Tessa Blanchard. Also, included on the final page of the 'zine are complete lyrics for both "Savage" & "Steamboat." WWE's Wrestlemania XXXVI airs this weekend, April 5-6, 2020, but there's a catch, it's a pay-per-view-only event on FOX with a $59.99 price tag. However, the SAVAGE/STEAMBOAT 7" X-Ray Flexi + 24-page Wrestling 'zine is available for the extremely low price of $2 on both Bleach Everything & Dark Operative's Bandcamp pages. Additionally, Brent Eyestone offers, "if you have my number in your phone, text me your address and I'll just send you one."
