TRUE GLOOM • s/t • LP

€25,00 EUR

Release date: 12. November 2025

TRUE GLOOM's first album is finally here!

Following the release of their demo tape in 2024, TRUE GLOOM took a year to hone their debut LP. And what a huge step this record has become! Following the straight-up hardcore of the demo, they completely reworked their sound: A complex web of details unfolds on a simple framework spanning the triangle between Australian-influenced wrecking ball rock 'n' roll, Swedish 90s hardcore, and New Orleans sludge.

Most of the instruments were recorded at Die Tonmeistei in Oldenburg in fall of 2024, while vocals and additional percussion & instruments were self-recorded by the band in winter 24/25.

A little word on PPWR

Chances are, you’ve already heard of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, aka PPWR.

As the name suggests, the whole idea is to reduce packaging waste and make us all a little more conscious about our environmental footprint. Which is, obviously, a good thing.
Pressing records, however, is already something of an ecological nightmare — and we haven’t even started talking about the bonkers ways records travel around the world.

Here at Not Sorry, we try to keep things as sensible as possible: we ship in cardboard mailers, use paper-based packing material and non-plastic tape, and usually throw in only a few flyers and stickers. Some records come wrapped in foil, some don’t. We’re pretty sure you know how to recycle these materials — but if you’re unsure, just drop us a line at weare@not-sorry.de and we’ll figure it out together.

Unfortunately, PPWR also comes with a rather massive downside for small businesses like ours: we would need to register and obtain packaging recycling certificates in every single EU country we ship to. The costs and paperwork involved are simply not manageable for us.

So, for the time being, we can only ship to Germany and all non-EU countries worldwide. Sorry about that!

If you’re inside the European Union but outside Germany and there’s a record in our shop that you absolutely need in your life, please don’t give up just yet. Drop us a line at weare@not-sorry.de and we’ll see if we can find a way to get it to you.
