Relapse Reco

LIP CREAM’s third album CLOSE TO THE EDGE was released just one year later after the release of the legendary 9 SHOCKS TERROR. This album is also a masterpiece packed with songs that represent the essence of LIP CREAM. This album differs slightly from the band’s previous production style, with the band leader Minoru's intentions strongly emphasized. Minoru was deeply influenced by the works of Go Nagai at the time, according to JhaJha, particularly in terms of ideology. He sought to fuse the apocalyptic themes and worldviews found in Nagai's works, such as “Devilman” “Mao Dante” and “Guerrilla High” into LIP CREAM's musical style. The physical version of this album features an English translation of the lyric. However, LIP CREAM sincerely hopes that English-speaking listeners will also raise their fists and sing along to the phrases in Japanese. There is meaning in conveying the message in Japanese.

Hardcore/Metal legends DEADGUY return after 30 years with their sophomore LP Near-Death Travel Services. After reuniting on stage to prove that a few decades of dust couldn’t keep them from tearing into audiences like old times, DEADGUY innately understood how heavy and deranged a new album would need to be – and that’s exactly what they delivered. Simply put, Near-Death Travel Services absolutely rips. A deserved follow up to the highly influential, hall-of-fame-worthy Fixation on a Coworker debut, Near-Death Travel Services tears into 11 tracks with the same confidence and palpable fury of its predecessor.

One of the distinctive features of LIP CREAM is their extensive participation in compilation albums and contributions to other artist’s works, in addition to their solo releases. Including live recordings and cassette tapes, they have contributed to a total of 13 compilation albums, and when combined with live videos, the number becomes staggering. THRASH TIL DEATH features tracks selected from six compilation albums released between 1986 and 1987. Featuring digitally remastered audio, the THRASH TIL DEATH jacket artwork has been newly designed. Notably, “MY MEAT’S YOUR POISON” features artwork based on the original illustration by Guy (GUDON, Blood Sucker Records). As the ultimate compilation of LIP CREAM's omnibus recordings, this release is the best of the best to date, and the long-awaited complete edition for fans worldwide is nothing short of a miracle.
