This special Japanese import celebrates Cross My Heart's triumphant return with their 2025 reunion tour dates in Japan, presenting the two of the Baltimore quartet's essential releases on a single glass-mastered CD. Limited to 500 copies worldwide with only 200 available in the United States, this collector's edition features both their acclaimed 1999 self-titled EP and the stunning Temporary Contemporary album from 2000, beautifully packaged in a jewel case with authentic Obi strip.
Cross My Heart's evolution from their explosive 1999 debut through the refined mastery of Temporary Contemporary represents one of emotional hardcore's most compelling artistic journeys. Led by Ryan Shelkett's wounded yet powerful vocals, the band perfected the loud-soft dynamic, moving from whispers to screams and back again with breathless intensity. These are songs about hopelessness and regret, sorrow and resolve, delivered with a sultriness and sophistication that set them apart from their peers.
The self-titled EP established the blueprint: roaring guitars meeting quiet reprieves, putting knots in your stomach and stars around your head. Temporary Contemporary expanded that vision into something even more piercing, restless, and powerful. An aggressive yet delicate collection that flows with undeniable connectivity. Each song surrenders into the next, creating an immersive listening experience where the band guides you through emotional landscapes with the confidence of master storytellers.
Together on one disc, these recordings showcase why Cross My Heart became essential listening for anyone invested in the intersection of hardcore intensity, indie rock sensibility, and raw emotional honesty. This is music that influenced a generation, songs that made the whole scene sing, and a testament to a band that understood vulnerability as the ultimate form of strength.
A must-own for collectors and fans celebrating Cross My Heart's reunion and continuing legacy. Imperative listening from beginning to end.
