Today is the last day of the 4th of July sale!

A small box of Shokran records were added that were originally meant to go to the band, but with shipping to Russia being impossible, they've been put on the store. These are the final copies so make sure to grab one if you want one!

The official store for Crestfallen Records!

26/06/2024

The Wise Man's Fear and The Senate vinyl are on their way!

There will be an in hand surprise for The Senate so keep your eyes opened for that

12/06/2024

Just a fun little rundown of things to come.

033 is now 035. Shouldn't change the release date, but it's gonna be a good time

A good handful of backcatalog albums are in the works from from CFR alumni and will be mixed between in hand and short preorders if everything goes right

A couple of brand new bands are going to be coming out soon and I couldn't be more excited about one of them. I haven't been this encapsulated by a djent album since Monuments - The Amanuensis (which is great because it sounds similar!)

I don't do them often unless there's a reason, but one or two represses are in the works from the old catalog. Giving it a small Dunk! treatment with full new layouts, variants, etc. Might as well be a new release

07/06/2024

If we repressed one title from the early days (001-015) to give it a full Dunk! treatment, what title would you like to see?

31/05/2024

Holehearted just hit its first birthday earlier this month!

Who's still listening and what's your favorite song?

Scars and Surpressive Thoughts will forever be my favorites

29/05/2024

Frontières are in! Everyone should have tracking except for 1-2 orders that will be updated in the next day or two.

Everything will be dropped off Friday/Saturday and you should all have them fairly soon!

If you missed the drop, rebalance copies are LIVE. There's not a lot and whatever is up is it. There's nothing else past these.

Dunkpressing once again knocked these out of the park. I wasn't sure if they could pull off a "transparent violet to transparent orange fade + dual yellow and pink pulsar + orange, yellow, pink, and purple splatter" but here we are and they nailed it.

Thank you to everyone who's picked up a copy and for all your patience!

26/05/2024

Now through Monday at midnight is 20% off your entire order!

23/05/2024

Just got a comprehensive update on every project currently in the schedule from Dunk!

Here's where everything is looking to be at in terms of rough completion dates

Raven fills just shipped out this week with Entities fills following this coming week after once they're finished being made

Frontières - Finally in after being in customs hell for two weeks. They're currently being numbered and they'll be packed up and shipped out this coming week. A small Rebalance for Frontières only and spread photo will be on Wednesday. There's only a handful of copies going up and these will be the last copies - there won't be any more for future rebalances.

The Wise Man's Fears - Production begins this coming week and is estimated to be delivered to me around the end of June

The Senate - Tests approved for a few weeks. Delivery to me early July

By The Thousands - Late July

In Dying Arms - Mid August

DeadVectors/Tyrant - Mid August (Ideally within In Dying Arms)

The Archaic Epidemic - Late August

CFR033 - The last true djent album. Aiming for in hand or close to it around the end of July/early August

I feel like Crestfallen has been on a long streak of just putting out new albums. Eight of the last 12 releases have been just that. New albums from new bands that deserve the vinyl treatment that Dunk! has perfected.

I’m excited to say that the next installment of new albums is none other than the debut full-length “Infinite Exile” from THE ARCHAIC EPIDEMIC out August 23!

“Infinite Exile” is exactly what you would want from a full-length album from these lads, and they really put everything they had into crafting a record that goes past any expectations.

I know blackened anything at the moment is almost a taboo concept now. You either love it and want everything remotely close or the total opposite. For those that love it, you’re in luck! There’s a nice level of blackened elements to “Infinite Exile” that makes it feel right at home with 2020s deathcore. Now, for those of you who don’t, there’s still a good bit here for you to enjoy. The Archaic Epidemic is still treading that space between deathcore and death metal. There’s a nice balance of both styles while not being too heavy handed with one or the other. Think of it like those triangle skill charts with Blackened, Deathcore, and Death Metal each having their own points and “Infinite Exile” being a perfect balance between the three.

If you’re somehow still on the fence about ordering an album you haven’t listened to yet, the lead single, Imminence, is available on the SLAM WORLDWIDE YouTube channel right now! So, you can go check that out and come back and grab some merch from the band’s store and a record.

I’m proud to be able to work with the band again to bring another release of theirs to your shelves, and as an ongoing theme with their albums, the jacket packaging isn’t going to just be a standard single sleeve. This time the jacket will be a single pocket gatefold (think of Until We Die for all of the Day One CFR people.)

Four variants. 200 copies. Currently on the store

This is definitely on my list of most fun releases I’ve gotten to work on. It’s a true situation of being able to work with great dudes a second time around.

For anyone unfamiliar with The Senate it’s an album inspired by Star Wars and it’s every bit as goofy and serious as Terrordactyl is. Which is great, because that means Raymond is 2/2 on fun deathcore that comes out being far better than it has any right to. I mean Star Wars deathcore? Dinosaur deathcore? I need to know what’s cooking in that man’s mind and what’s up next!

Tales of a Galaxy Far, Far Away came out within the first half of my freshman year of college when Chugcore was in full swing, and as with almost anything that had the Chugcore logo slapped on it, I was obsessed with it. It has everything you could want from a mid-2010s deathcore release. Obnoxiously fast instrumentals, audio samples thrown in sparingly, slams, and Rheese Peters.

That’s right, legendary vocalist Rheese Peters put everything into this EP vocally and it’s exactly what you want from one of his performances. His full range is on display with this EP, and I might be tempted to say that a song or two on here might be in the running for some of Rheese’s best work. I mean just the pig squeals alone on here put Rheese in proximity to Luke Griffin levels.

This will be a shorter preorder since tests are in and have been approved. Think about a month or so wait for the non-filled copies – which I might add are just as fun as the EP. A plastic lasersword fill is just too perfect of an idea to pass up on. Especially when you pair it with the non-filled laswersword pulsar counterparts. The pulsars will be random with both the blue and red variants /25. I’ll do my best to make sure that you don’t receive two of the same if you purchase two copies, but my efforts can only go so far.

150 standard copies

This is the end of the Spring Cleaning event!

Thank you all for showing up day after day and grabbing the random odds and ends that have accumulated over the past few quarters.

There's a special item on the store today - a mystery test press of the next release. If you grab it, you'll be able to hear it before it's even announced! How fun is that?! Only catch is you have to keep it a mystery! Don't spoil it for anyone. It'll be a fun one!

20/04/2024

No Spring Cleaning today! Go out and support your local record stores

Happy RSD

See you tomorrow for the final day/tests

19/04/2024

A small one today!

18/04/2024

Today's Spring Cleaning is a mystery! Or maybe not since they're revealed now?

Anways, see you in 30 minutes

17/04/2024

See you all in 15 minutes for Splatterday!

These are the final copies of these variants.

Four copies of Lorelei were unearthed from an old box so I figured I'd throw them on here as well. 1 splatter, 1 merge, 2 blue/tan smashes will be available.

16/04/2024

See you all in 25 minutes for today's Spring Cleaning installment featuring some fills that StiffCut Records and The Dream Division cooked up!

These will be under the Spring Cleaning menu as well as the home page

15/04/2024

Today is the first day of Spring Cleaning! Head over and check out the Spring Cleaning tab for out of stock and new listings each day this week at 12pm ET.

It could be back catalog finds, new variants, tests, or something else!

Today is all about Sea of Splatters! These only have a small handful left before they're gone forever!

12/04/2024

Tyrant_US / deadvectors is live!

What did you grab?!

11/04/2024

How sick are these 8th Splatters that cooked up?

Only a handful of copies are left before they're gone

09/04/2024

You’ve been under a rock if you haven’t seen the metal community go off about about their new releases month after month this year. They’ve been constantly crushing it with each new EP, and my favorite so far is easily execute.exe with the combined might of Tyrant_US (and what a coincidence that it’s green!)

Execute.exe dropped back in February and quickly became one of my most listened to releases of the year. It’s short, destructive, and unrelenting. It’s not standard djent. It doesn't really follow the doom-leaning aspects of thall. It’s very much living in a space just outside of a lot of the genres that its made up of. It’s pretty much the perfect blend of Between The Buried And Me, Darko, and Humanity’s Last Breath.

I’m proud to have partnered with Tyrant and DeadVectors to bring this gem to wax on the usual CFR loadout. 4 variants, 200 copies, this Friday at 12pm ET.

29/03/2024

That's a wrap!

You guys sold out In Dying Arms in 4 hours which is insane!

A huge thank you to everyone who showed up and grabbed a copy! And another huge thank you to Deathcore Specialists for helping out with this one
