**Limited Edition Cross My Heart Japanese Import Celebrating Reunion Tour**

This exclusive Japanese import marks the highly anticipated return of Cross My Heart with their 2025 reunion tour dates in Japan. Limited to just 500 copies worldwide, with only 200 available in the United States, this collector’s edition features two essential releases from the Baltimore quartet on a single glass-mastered CD.

This special release includes their acclaimed 1999 self-titled EP and the stunning 2000 album Temporary Contemporary, all beautifully packaged in a jewel case with an Obi strip. The evolution of Cross My Heart, from their explosive debut to the refined artistry of Temporary Contemporary, showcases one of emotional hardcore’s most compelling journeys.

Ryan Shelkett’s powerful and wounded vocals lead the band as they masterfully navigate the loud-soft dynamic, transitioning from whispers to screams with breathless intensity. Lyrically, their songs explore themes of hopelessness, regret, sorrow, and resolve, all delivered with the sultriness and sophistication that set them apart from their peers.

The self-titled EP laid the foundation with roaring guitars and quiet moments that evoke both tension and wonder. In contrast, Temporary Contemporary expands this vision into a more piercing and restless sound—an aggressive yet delicate collection of tracks that flow seamlessly together, creating an immersive listening experience.

Together, these recordings exemplify why Cross My Heart became essential listening for anyone fascinated by the intersection of hardcore intensity, indie rock sensibility, and raw emotional honesty. Their music has influenced a generation, transforming the scene and highlighting vulnerability as a powerful strength.

This limited edition compilation is a must-have for collectors and fans alike, celebrating Cross My Heart’s reunion and enduring legacy. Experience this imperative listening journey from beginning to end. Don’t miss out—secure your copy today!
