Have a Nice Life "Deathconsciousness" DLP reissue Pre-sale
Pre-Orders for Have a Nice Life’s Deathconsciousness will begin on July 9th at 1pm PST.
In
2008, Have A Nice Life released their now cult classic
Deathconsciousness LP to a whimper and critical non-interest. Six years
after its release the band followed up with 2014's stunner The
Unnatural World, Deathconsciousness has become a force of influence and
fanatic obsession. Seamlessly blending, with unparalleled depth and
weight, shoegaze, post punk, new wave, industrial and noise. The album
was originally released by Enemies List Home Recordings founded by HANL
members Dan and Tim. The album has since floated in and out of
production, with the last instantly out of print vinyl pressing
occurring in 2009. Now, longtime HANL collaborator The Flenser will
re-issue Deathconsciousness with deluxe packaging, including a lengthy
accompanying zine and colored vinyl. Have A Nice Life commented,
“Working with Flenser lets us keep things comfortable on our end, while
also pressing enough copies to actually meet the need and not creating
an artificially-inflated collector’s market, as happened with some of
our past releases.”
The
Flenser's reissue of Deathconsciousness will be accompanied by a
75-page booklet detailing the dark and forgotten history of the
Antiochean cult. Blurring the lines between novella, liner notes and
academic text, the zine itself presents an engrossing narrative. The
album is rhythmic, primal and expansive and is a gloomy-post-punk
masterpiece; a rich mediation on death, loss and unrequited love.
Deathconsciousness feels more fresh and engaging with every listen and
has held up as a remarkable piece of art. Fans of Have A Nice Life
exhibit both cultic thought and action for good reason. It is perhaps a
fan-base as dark and mysterious as the Antiocheans the album itself
revolves around. Now The Flenser is honored to rerelease
Deathconsciousness as a gorgeous and disarming contribution to the
modern lexicon for a larger audience.
The
album is scheduled for release September 17th. We intend to ship
pre-orders by that date. However, delays can happen and the release date
could be pushed back. Thank you for your patience.
The
reissue of Deathconsciousness will come in a thick case-wrapped
gatefold jacket. The jacket features a new layout by Niels Geybels with
additional text by the band. All variations of the album come with the
70+ page zine made from the same files as earlier editions. The lacquers
were cut by Dave at Lucky Lacquers. This is a much louder and more
dynamic cut than the previous issues of the album.
The album will be released in four configurations:
Standard weight black vinyl
180 gram black vinyl (limited to 500 copies)
Green vinyl (limited to 400 copies)
White vinyl (limited to 300 copies)
