DROPDEAD IN SOON
OUT OF STOCK - DROPDEAD - 2020 LP
Their long awaited third album, recorded by Kurt Ballou and Zach Weeks at God City and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. Musically, the third Dropdead album is a bit different from previous recordings, style-wise and vocally, with the latter being delivered so the words have an impact more so than just raw screaming. With 23 songs in 24 minutes, the songs themselves vary much more in tempo and style, but ultimately, it's a Dropdead record that makes sense in 2020. Lyrically, this record is relevant to the times we live in, focused on the alarming state of the world, the disturbing rise of right-wing extremism, animal abuse, and the continued social failures of humankind. "These are dark times we find ourselves living in," says the band, "and this is how we vent our frustration and anger in a positive way."
DROPDEAD - DROPDEAD 1998 (REMASTERED) LP
Completely remixed by Kurt Ballou in June 2020 and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. This record has never sounded better with this fresh audio, clearing up the muddy sound of the original tremendously. This pressing now cut to play as a normal outside to inside record, unlike the original pressings. The second album of sonic-grind, total obliti-core from Rhode Island's deafening devastators. Eighteen angry hardcore/thrash songs. 18 songs in a decidedly more Swedish HC vein, but with the usual odd breaks and fast parts throughout. More melodic than the first LP in some ways, and noisier in others.
DROPDEAD - DROPDEAD 1993 (REMASTERED) LP
The original 1993 Don Fury mix, remastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. The terrorizing blistercore classic from '93 reissued and sounding as putrid as the day it was killed. Thirty-four songs of pulverizing political hate, social disgust and personal loathing. Originally released in 1993 on Selfless Recs, this 34 song album has been re-released with restored & updated artwork. Influenced by the old Japanese, European, and some US hardcore. An extreme mix of fast and mid-paced parts with angry vocals and personal/political lyrics.
DROPDEAD - Discography vol. 2 1995 - 2013 (REMASTERED) LP
Discography Volume 2 compiles 42 tracks and spans the years 1995-2013. This includes Hostile EP, and splits with Unholy Grave, Totalitar, Look Back And Laugh, Converge, Systematic Death, Ruidosa Inmundicia, and Brainoil as well as compilation tracks and the Arms Race EP.
OUT OF STOCK - DROPDEAD - Discography vol. 1 1992 - 1993 (REMASTERED) LP
Completely remixed by Kurt Ballou and mastered at New Alliance. Includes 3 new bonus tracks found on the original reels. Comprised of material recorded between 1991 and 1993, consisting of 42 songs from their self-titled 7", split 7" & 5" with Rupture and Crossed Out, and compilation tracks. Reissued with restored & updated artwork. Originally released in 1994 as an 11” LP on Clearview, and regular LP on Flat Earth in the UK in 1995. Originally a 39 track compilation, three additional tracks that were unearthed on the original reels have been added to this new version. The complete early studio tracks on one release.
