If This Is Our Song, Why Aren't We Dancing?

by Red Winter Dying

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Packaging includes 2-panel insert and traycard in a jewel case.

    The Charon Collective utilizes a professional manufacturer that uses CD-Rs for its duplication process. In terms of the audio or video quality you'll experience, replicated discs are identical to duplicated discs. Some older generation disc players (including in cars) could experience errors when playing the duplicated disc.

    If you frequented hardcore shows in East Tennessee in the early 2000s, you were no doubt exposed to the region's best-kept-secret in the scene - Red Winter Dying. Rising out of the ashes of underground favorites Coexist, the band quickly found its own loyal following. Combining elements of hardcore, metal, and post-punk, they caught the attention of fans of Poison The Well, Hopesfall, Underoath, Eighteen Visions, and other emotionally charged vehicles of the time.

    Red Winter Dying became a familiar staple at small and large venues, sharing the stage with touring powerhouses like Darkest Hour, Dead To Fall, Living Sacrifice, As I Lay Dying, Thrice, The Showdown, Norma Jean, and many others. The group gained even more fans when they branched out and began playing in Indiana, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, Virginia, and West Virginia. It wasn't long before they earned a reputation for energetic and adrenaline-fueled performances that combined chaos and beauty, while wearing their hearts on their sleeves.

    In their 3-year career as a band, Red Winter Dying released two albums and a split. Well received critically by the likes of Alternative Press and Punk Planet, the recordings perfectly captured the raw emotion and energy the group had become known for. Those who got their hands on the releases were few and far between in a pre-streaming world where the internet hadn't become the musical mecca it's known to be now.

    The Charon Collective is proud to present to listeners two of the great releases Red Winter Dying unleashed on a lucky few in one package. This new edition of "If This Is Our Song, Why Aren't We Dancing?" is paired with two tracks off of their split with Past Mistakes. Those tracks were mastered by Dana White, who worked on albums by Jimmy Eat World and Blood For Blood. The bulk of the album was recorded virtually live with limited overdubs by Miah Lajeunesse in the same studio where Whitechapel created “The Somatic Defilement” and “Recorrupted.” The two releases combined perfectly captures both the essence of Red Winter Dying and the spirit of emotional hardcore that defined the era and helped many of us through our formative years.
