Decades up in smoke, and the band show no signs of slowing down; ROCKY & THE SWEDEN continue down their blazing path of fast, aggressive punk. Forever loyal to their green-motiff, tracks like the aptly titled "THC" and "Chain Smoke" burn with intensity; explosive drums detonate alongside scorching guitar leads. 2026 also sees the band revisiting their storied catalog, reissuing their classic 1998 debut TOTAL HARD CORE, a special EARLY YEARS Singles Collection 1997-1999, and the revered sophomore album God Save the Green!

Special edition repress with limited edition deluxe silver foil laminated jackets pressed on custom tri color merge with splatter.The sixth installment in Relapse's exhaustive reissue campaign of DEATH's immensely influential catalog is Leprosy, the band's titanic second album. Originally released in 1988 Leprosy was a pioneering album, building upon the thrash sounds of Metallica and Slayer but adding a previously unheard level of raw extremity. These songs are the roots of an entire genre: death metal. While this was only the second record DEATH released, it immediately cemented them as heavy metal icons.

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.
