Relapse Records proudly announces the 25th anniversary reissue of CAVE IN's monumental Jupiter. Named one of the best metal albums of the decade by Decibel Magazine, Jupiter marks a significant shift in CAVE IN's musical direction that sees the band embark on a post-hardcore space odyssey. Perhaps the finest record of CAVE IN's storied career, Jupiter sounds as fresh and as vital as ever. Jupiter is available as a standalone LP, as well as a deluxe 2xCD, both remastered by James Plotkin. The 2xCD includes the full album alongside a special live set recorded exclusively for broadcast on Boston's legendary rock radio station WBCN in October of 2000.

Zombi: Shape Shift (Ide) [2 Vinyl LP]

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.
