hypertension records
You have reached the first instalment of the Hypertension Records website. Good for you. We are extremely excited about the launch of our brandnew label, so thank you for taking an interest. It seems like hard work does indeed pay off, because after months of preparation, we are proud to announce our first two releases:
RED SPAROWES - At The Soundless Dawn 2xLP
Hypertension will be releasing the European version of the debutalbum by this new band featuring members of ISIS and NEUROSIS early March. Our overseas collaborators on this gem are Neurot Records and Robotic Empire Records. The European version will feature a different lay-out and one exclusive bonustrack. RED SPAROWES will be touring Europe in March and April, make sure to catch them at one of their shows.
WE WILL START TAKING PRE-ORDERS NEXT WEEK. Tentative releasedate is 15/03.
STARKWEATHER - Croatoan 2xLP
The hibernating monster is back. Exactly a decade after their last outing, the band is now finally finishing up to release their newest endeavour "Croatoan". After some line-up difficulties, they were able to find decent replacements in Jim Winters of TURMOIL/THE PROMISE and LiamWilson of THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN. The record is being mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side as we speak. "Croatoan" was recorded early 2004 by Pierre Remillard (CRYTOPSY, GORGUTS, OBLIVEON) and will feature artwork by none other than Paul Romano (MASTODON, EARTH, GODFLESH). Second Nature Records will be handling the CD-duties, Hypertension will be exclusively taking care of the vinyl-duties. We're aiming at an early summer 2005 release date.
We would like to express our gratitude to our good friends over at Conspiracy Records. They have been helping us out since day one, and will be exclusively taking care of the distribution of all Hypertension releases.
That's all for now. You'll be hearing more from us soon. Enjoy your stay.
