American Nightmare We're Down Til We're Underground

We’re Down Til We’re Underground was originally released by Equal Vision Records on September 23rd, 2003. At the time of original release, American Nightmare was legally forced to change their name, and Give UP THE Ghost was chosen. Produced by Jim Siegel (blood FOR Blood, Slapshot) and Tim Cossar, We’re Down Til’ We’re Underground is true milestone of an album. It encapsulates the personal growth, strife, and struggle of the band members that helped to create it. From the first strummed notes of opening instrumental “(It’s Sometimes Like It Never Started)” the album feels personal and thematic. In many ways, it is as if we are listening to the beat of the open heart of the creators. Because of this, it’s difficult to pinpoint any high point in the music and lyrical content. Every song on We’re Down Til’ We’re Underground effortlessly carries intense emotional weight in all its layers. After all, it’s an album born out of pressure and pain more so than most hardcore records (past or present) will likely ever be.
