Damnation by The Nation Blue

21st Anniversary Reissue of Damnation.
FIRST TIME EVER ON VINYL.
2LP with Five Unreleased songs over 75 minutes of music.

The Nation Blue have bludgeoned ears for almost 30 years with a relentless sound originating from the bleak dissonance of 1990’s Tasmania. This sound is maybe best captured by the 2004 album Damnation which is being released on vinyl for the very first time to celebrate its 21st birthday on October 3rd 2025 through Solar/Sonar. 21 years to the day.
In 30 years The Nation Blue have performed with everyone from Saul Williams to Flipper to Foo Fighters and Damnation captures their visceral intensity on wax.

MASTERED FOR VINYL BY MIKEY YOUNG
