METALCORE LEGENDS NORMA JEAN CELEBRATE RECORD STORE DAY WITH WRONGDOERS

For more than 20 years, metalcore pioneers Norma Jean have dominated the scene with their cathartic and unbridled brand of rock. Borrowing from Marilyn Monroe’s birth name, the Atlanta five-piece debuted in 2001 and built a cult following over the decade through best-selling titles like The Anti Mother (2008) and the highly acclaimed Meridional (2010).

Their influential sixth album, 2013’s Wrongdoers, built upon that momentum and found the band—including longtime frontman Cory Brandan—pushing themselves farther than ever before. Experimenting with an array of live instrumentation (including strings, piano and organs), the band delivered some of their finest and most dynamic songs to date, including the anthemic title track, the blistering “If You Got It at Five, You Got It at Fifty” and the enduring hit, “Sword in Mouth, Fire Eyes.”

In addition to becoming an immediate best-seller—breaking the Billboard 200’s Top 40 and landing in the Top 10 of Billboard’s Rock, Indie and Hard Rock Albums charts—Wrongdoers also received high marks from a wide array of outlets, including AllMusic, Metal Hammer and AbsolutePunk, which raved, “Wrongdoers grabs you by the throat from the start, and when it finally releases its grip you can’t help but go back for more.” Alternative Press, meanwhile, simply proclaimed it a “masterpiece.”

Marking the first vinyl reissue of Wrongdoers, this exclusive edition is limited to 2,750 copies worldwide and pressed on Fire Eyes–colored wax. The LP also features a printed inner sleeve, plus an insert with track lyrics.
