The End is Near

First Time on Vinyl!   Pressed on random-colored recycled vinyl. During the manufacturing process, after a vinyl record is smashed between two steel plates to put the vinyl grooves onto a record, there is excess PVC plastic, or “flash” that gets trimmed off and trashed. Flash from different vinyl jobs then either get tossed into a landfill or are specially requested to be melted together & reused to make a new, kinda-ugly, marble-y-looking, hand-poured record, often known as a “random color” variant. Color mixtures will be completely, unpredictably random, including (sometimes) black-looking vinyl. Jonathan Berlin remastered for vinyl and digital to sound consistent between all of the albums. Digital file includes MP3 and WAV Self-released June 18, 2003, The End is Near was intended to be the fifth and final full-length studio album from Five Iron Frenzy. The album was originally sold exclusively at shows on their Summer Festival Tour and subsequent farewell tour later that Fall.
