First published on Bandcamp in September of 2015, ░▒▓死▓▒░ has become an important piece in ushering in dark vaporwave. Chinese Hackers used this release to coin the term "vaporgoth", which was his unique combination of industrial, vaporwave' plunderphonics, and dark ambient soundscapes. Since this release, Chinese Hackers has gone on to make (w i r e t a p) and Visions, both of which were voted as one of R/Vaporwave's best albums of both 2015 and 2016.



░▒▓死▓▒░ is an exploration of the outer limits of what is considered vaporwave. It uses samples ranging from field recordings, horror movie soundtracks, and choral samples. All of these elements combine to make an oppressive atmosphere purely based on meticulous manipulation of samples.



The audio for ░▒▓死▓▒░ has been remastered from its original 2015 release by Chinese Hackers himself. This LP release contains the original 6 tracks, the 1 cassette bonus track, and another bonus track ("Death in the Free World") for this vinyl release.
