Vanja Sky - Reborn - VINYL LP

Originally released in 2001 on respected Japanese punk tag H.G. Fact, All the Footprints You've Ever Left and the Fear Expecting Ahead introduced Envy to Americans when it was licensed for limited in 2003 on Dim Mak Records. Their original pressing sold out almost immediately, and the album fell to the fate of fetching increasingly obscene prices on eBay and Discogs. Temporary Residence Ltd. Reissued Envy's back catalog in 2008, which sparked an even larger and broader interest in the band. At the heart of that historic back catalog is All the Footprints You've Ever Left and the Fear Expecting Ahead - widely regarded as an innovative high-water mark for hardcore. Along with it's follow-up, A Dead Sinking Story, it is justifiably viewed as an essential post-hardcore classic whose monumental footsteps created unending ripples.

A Japanese Horror FilmInch is a dive into the realm of possibility. Surreal in nature, Chester Watson's opus touches subjects like astral projection, past lives, reincarnation, folklore and mythology. It's when a trip to Japan to clear his mind turns into an inter-dimensional journey of impromptu meetings with Yokai. It's attempt to get you yourself to destroy the things that could change you and the people around you for the better. For the last half-decade, Chester has mastered the art of dusted and damaged psychedelic music, ideal for imprecations and illicit behavior, baleful hymns and bleak parables. He has re-imagined himself as a cursed black Pharaoh covered in golden scarabs, an enigma with wings, suffused with Eastern philosophy, skateboards, and spitting raps as hot as Guatemalan springs. A new anti-hero with venom, the ballet-dancing beast hallucinated on ayahuasca or just too much liquor. As Watson says himself, Inchthe best villain since Mad-V.Inch After touring the world, appearing in Adult Swim's Singles series, and crafting more necromantic spells, Watson's returned with A Japanese Horror Film,Inch featuring guest spots from frequent collaborators, Kent Loon of Nu Age, Psymun (producer for Young Thug, The Weeknd), and Dua Saleh - and mastering by L.A. underground legend, Zeroh. Pitchfork hailed his ability to build a Inchself contained world with his magnetic monotone and intricate, evocative raps.

A little more than a year after the acclaimed, massive Frozen Bloom, Olhava is back with a brand new studio album. Reborn explores yet another side of the relationship between man and nature. In a darker turn, the duo presents a more pessimistic and cautionary reflection on the environment in contrast to their previous albums. InchReborn is a story about a man who forgot what brought him here. Who neglected a precious, parental, and primordial bond with nature; who unconsciously destroys the one and only home we all share, along with himself. The irreversible damage we do to our environment will see mankind InchbeheadedInch, whilst nature and life itself will thrive eternally. We'd like to believe though that if we realised the value of that bond and embraced it, we'd be given a glimpse of hope in this fatalistic madness - a chance to be spared. The cover art by MarGoat of an exhausted Mother Nature ritualistically destroying and cleansing herself of humanity using human hands as her very own tools forces us to reflect on our significance. She is about to be Reborn in a new floral formInch.
