PRODUCT DETAILS
Originally released in 2000 on the legendary Takehold Records, New Wave Techno Homicide by Narcissus remains one of the most creative, genre-defying, and emotionally complex albums to emerge from the early 2000s underground heavy music scene. It arrived at a pivotal time in the rise of spirit-filled hardcore, standing proudly alongside powerful labelmates like Underoath, Hopesfall, Twothirtyeight, Few Left Standing, and Stairwell. While many of those bands would go on to sign with larger labels and reach mainstream audiences, Narcissus carved a more daring path-merging mathcore chaos, screamo intensity, industrial textures, and melodic metal into something wholly original.New Wave Techno Homicide was ahead of it's time. This is an album that blurs genres, challenges expectations, and digs deep into themes of technology, identity, and transcendence. At once brutal and poetic, it delivers a sonic and spiritual jolt that still resonates today. Mechanical imagery collides with lyrical beauty as the band shifts seamlessly between calculated dissonance and aching vulnerability. This is not just a product of it's era-it's a record that predicted the future.The album features John Pope on vocals (later of Symphony in Peril), John LaRussa on guitar (who went on to form Inhale Exhale), Justin Carroll on bass, Derek Carter on drums, and was originally mastered by James Paul Wisner (Underoath, Dashboard Confessional). After it's release, Narcissus joined forces with Underoath, Few Left Standing, and Tantrum of the Muse for the now-legendary 40 Days of Disaster Tour, further solidifying their legacy within the scene.Now, two and a half decades later, New Wave Techno Homicide is finally available on vinyl for the first time ever. Brutal Planet Records presents this historic 25th Anniversary Edition, pressed on stunning Sunflare vinyl and strictly limited to 200 copies. The reissue includes a full-color 12x12 insert featuring the album's powerful lyrics and reflective liner notes from Loyd Harp (Call & Response Records) and Doug Peterson (Down the Line Magazine), offering new insight into the album's impact and meaning.This edition has been remastered for vinyl by Rob Colwell (Sleeping Giant, Blessed by A Broken Heart, As Hell Retreats, The Great Commission), ensuring the chaos and clarity of the original recordings sound better than ever. It's a long-overdue celebration of a record that never played it safe-and never sounded like anything else.For fans of Zao, Botch, Coalesce, Deadguy, and Bloodjinn, this is not just a collector's item-it's an essential document of a scene that changed lives. New Wave Techno Homicide wasn't just part of the moment. It helped define it.

By far, my favorite shop to buy from! Always quick with the delivery! Love tyler the creator and I've been searching for this specific vinyl at a good price!
package shipped well. there was a fragile sticker on the box which was nice, most places don’t put that and vinyls get damaged. package arrived in perfect condition.
Good packaging, product was in good condition and showed up on time great album no problems with any of the vinyls either very happy with it.
I am a huge Bob's Burger Fan and found this album as I was browsing the website. I had to get it immediately. I can believe I came across this on a random Tuesday. Can't thank coming across pale blue records enough. And the delivery is super fast. Can't wait for my next purchase.
Super fast shipping, packing done well. Exactly as described. The customer service and product choice is why I keep coming back.
Perfectly packaged, no warping, clear sound. Will definitely purchase from Pale Blue Dot Records again.

Would definitely buy from Pale Dot Records again. The delivery was fast and the records sounds great!
Purchased as a Christmas gift for my 29 year old son. Can't wait for him to open. Packaged with care and timely shipping. Positive experience!
Vinyls arrived in perfect condition, expertly packed, and 3 days from the date of purchase (over the Thanksgiving holiday, no less). Could not be more pleased. Thanks so much!
We received our vinyl fast, it was fairly price, and they had a great selection to choose from. One record we purchased had an issue on the track, and the owner was quick to resolve the issue for us. I’ll be purchasing all of our records from this store moving forward!
The records and the sleeve are really nice. Pacific Dot Records blew me away with shipping it out like, immediately after I ordered it. Arrived well protected and perfect. No complaints.
fast shipping, great communication, and awesome staff. very responsive with messages too. can’t wait to purchase from them again
Records arrived inside the special record boxes, unopened, and in pristine condition. They didn't very long to begin the shipping either. Some places make you wait 3-5 days just to have it shipped out. They did not.
This is not about the product. I've ordered from PBD before and the Vinyls that come from them are wonderful and pressed really well!
This review is more on customer service.
USPS seemed to have goofed around a bit and cause a delay of about 1.5 weeks. Tristan was a highly communicative person and was reassuring with the options I had regarding if my order never arrived. Good sense of humor, accountability, and customer satisfaction. The Sweetwater of vinyl shops. Officially my vinyl go to!
