American Nightmare – Background Music - Clear Green Gold + Black Splatter - LP

The classic debut full length available on vinyl for the first time in over a decade.

Originally released in June 2001 through Equal Vision Records, American Nightmare's debut LP "Background Music" established itself as a defining hardcore classic. The Boston band delivered urgent, emotionally raw hardcore punk with passionate vocals and unflinching honesty. Produced by Tim Cossar and Dean Baltulonis, the album proves to be anything but what its title suggests, offering a blueprint that would reshape hardcore's creative landscape through its fusion of relentless intensity, brooding atmosphere, and Wesley Eisold's visceral lyrical vulnerability.
