Originally released in 2003 on Level Plane Records, the album expanded Envy s American audience, and marked the first time the band toured North America. The original vinyl pressing sold out immediately, and not surprisingly now fetches over $100 on eBay. Here, finally, both CD and LP formats are repackaged and re-released along with the lion s share of their seminal back catalog. The vinyl has been remastered, sounding better than ever. Along with their now-legendary second album, All the Footprints That You ve Ever Left and the Fear Expecting Ahead (also reissued recently by Temporary Residence), A Dead Sinking Story is widely regarded as an innovative high-water mark for hardcore. These two albums are justifiably viewed as modern hardcore classics whose monumental footsteps created an unending ripple.
