* Link to preorder in profile * American Nightmare’s legendary Year One collection on 180 gram vinyl for its 25th anniversary.

Originally released in 2001, the Boston hardcore band’s 25th anniversary release of Year One pays tribute to their formative years. This collection unites their first two 7”s, originally released by Bridge Nine Records founder and then-roommate , on a 180-gram LP, with all tracks recorded by Kurt Ballou at God City. Originally designed by Jake Bannon (Converge), this edition has been reimagined by Del Jae (Futurismo Records) and Wesley Eisold, and comes packaged in a gatefold with an insert of handwritten lyrics and collaged images.

Year One doesn’t just celebrate a milestone; it reaffirms American Nightmare’s enduring legacy. Their music raised the bar for emotional depth in hardcore, adding a distinctly poetic and existential lyrical approach that set them apart and changed the rules of the scene, paving the way for countless bands that followed. The result was something harder, darker, and more emotionally resonant than anything the scene had yet produced. They pushed hardcore into uncharted territory, borrowing influences from youth crew, street punk, and even the aesthetics of the late-’90s mod revival and Britpop cultures. The fusion created a new blueprint—fast, traditional hardcore delivered with dire, venomous lyrics that demanded a visceral crowd response. Their impact was immediate, and their influence continues to reverberate.

AN will be performing an intimate Year One set at Rough Trade NYC on Dec. 18th.

Flags should be at half mast to acknowledge the passing of an absolute legend today, Al Barile of . Bridge Nine would not exist if not for the efforts of this man, a dozen or so years before we released our first record. Al built the foundation that we stand upon, and from his influence and inspiration, we continue championing the community that he started building over forty years ago. Thank you for letting us be one of your collaborators. Our deepest respect and condolences to Al and his wife and partner of 43 years, Nancy.
