Post-hardcore stalwarts Touché Amoré are marking a decade of their landmark 2016 album Stage Four with a deluxe anniversary reissue arriving digitally on April 10 via Epitaph Records.
The expanded edition includes eleven additional tracks, featuring unreleased demos and collaborations with Cody Votolato (The Blood Brothers), Youth Code, and Kerry McCoy (Deafheaven). Lead single “Rapture (Gloom Version)” – a delicate collaboration with Wisp – is out now, reimagining the devastating anthem into a stripped-down, lo-fi acoustic ballad.
“‘Rapture’ is a staple in our set and has been since the album dropped. Over time, the call and response bit that happens during the bridge has become as much of our show as anything else. I wanted to get Wisp on this track because I’m a big fan of Natalie’s vocal ability for its whispery, breathy nature. It has a haunting element that matched the energy of the song,” Bolm explained.
The limited-edition vinyl release is a collector’s dream: four square discs on exclusive colorways, housed in a clear pink slipcase with new artwork, diecut sleeves and labels, plus a double-sided poster.
Bolm reflects on the album’s enduring impact: “Stage Four was a mandatory album for my journey with grief, and the impact it’s had on the band as well as our audience – however heavy or light – feels worth celebrating.”
Originally recorded in early 2016 with producer Brad Wood, Stage Four is widely considered Touché Amoré‘s most raw and emotionally unflinching work. To celebrate the anniversary, Touché Amoré will embark on a U.S. tour in April and a European run in June, performing Stage Four in full.
