SKYCAMEFALLING - 10.21 - TAPE (STTC 052)

It's no secret that the Long Island hardcore scene has blessed us with a wealth of killer bands throughout the decades. Formed in 1996, Skycamefalling burst out of the LIHC scene with a sound that leaned into the chaotic side of the metalcore sonic spectrum.

After Good Life Recordings founder Edward Verhaeghe fell in love with their demo, he signed the band to his label, eventually issuing the band's 1998 EP, ...To Forever Embrace the Sun.

Skycamefalling then changed labels, signing with New Jersey's Ferret Music, an underground powerhouse at the time that was also behind releases by the likes of Every Time I Die and Disembodied.

But it wasn't till their debut album, 10.21, did Skycamefalling truly fully realize their sound. The attack of their previous material was still there, but the arrangements are stronger, showcasing the band's instrumental and lyrical progress.

10.21 is the only studio album by Skycamefalling, recorded in 1999 and released on November 11, 2000, through Ferret Music. The album's title (pronounced "ten twenty one") is named after the date vocalist Christopher Tzompanakis had to end a relationship, October 21.

In 2024 the album was reworked and remixed, inviting listeners to rediscover the emotive power of Skycamefalling's music. Everything sounds fuller, heavier, and totally hits harder than its predecessor. If the album had sounded like this upon its initial release, it would have found much more love than it received back then. A criminally underrated masterpiece, this is a must have for any fan of early 2000s metalcore. You need this in your life.

We at Stick To The Core were able to release an exclusive European variant of the vinyl album limited to 111 copus on A/B red/black.

This year we at Stick To The Core are releasing the tape version for Europe for the album's 25th anniversary.

We also found some spare copys in our archive which are added to the shop.
