SOLACE · Further | DIGISLEEVE 2CD

Double CD in digisleeve with lyric booklet.

Background information about ''

Twenty-five years after its original release, "Further" by New Jersey's Solace returns with a remastered vengeance that honors both the album's enduring legacy and the memory of late vocalist Jason L., who passed away in January 2025. This enhanced edition transforms what was meant to be a celebratory anniversary reissue into a poignant tribute to one of stoner metal's most distinctive voices. The band's debut album showcases their unique "dirt metal" sound - a grinding amalgamation of doom, hardcore fury, and classic metal that helped define the "shorecore" movement emerging from Asbury Park's windswept Atlantic coastline.

The remastered tracks from 2000 feel remarkably contemporary, with Jason L.'s tortured yet brilliant vocal performance cutting through the band's crushing riffs like a rusty blade through concrete. From the opening assault of "Man Dog" to the methodical grind of "Heavy Birth/2-Fisted", Solace demonstrates why they became celebrated veterans of the American metal underground. The bonus material, including alternate versions and a live cut of "Funk #49" from Tokyo '98, adds essential context to the band's evolution while the careful remastering allows every crushing note to shine brighter than ever before.

For fans of:
Sleep, High on Fire, Eyehategod, Crowbar, and Orange Goblin
