Content
[edit]The nineteen track album was released on compact disc and digital download with Eyeball Records, on November 26, 2001.[1] The album is produced by John Naclerio and was recorded at Nada Studios in Newburgh, New York, except for "Fat and Alone," which was produced by Antonio Valenti and recorded at HinchKraft Studios in North Haledon, New Jersey. Mastering is by Alan Douches at West West Side. Album artwork is by Neil Sabatino, with photography by Dahlia Nardone, and Jamie Schaefer.[2] Heartbreak in Stereo is described as vicious, but unfocused hardcore punk rock. It features Frank Iero in "full berserker mode," with screaming, howling, and raging vocals.[3]
On recording for Heartbreak in Stereo, Iero says "I tried not to hold anything back, [which is] the way I feel about music and performing."
In November 2020 the band re-released a limited edition vinyl version of the album through Kingsroad Merch, along with a CD pressing. On November 16, 2020, the band announced they would be releasing the album digitally with Frank Iero's B.CALM Press and Neil Sabatino's Mint 400 Records. In November 2021, the first ever pressing of the album on cassette tape was announced.
