"Citizen Celebrates 10 Years of 'Everybody Is Going To Heaven'"

Citizen is celebrating the 10th anniversary of their influential sophomore album, “Everybody Is Going To Heaven,” with a special deluxe reissue set to be released on June 27th via Run For Cover Records. This reissue marks a significant moment for the band, as the original album was a pivotal point in their evolution, transitioning from the success of their debut album, “Youth,” into a darker and more experimental sound.

The 10-Year Anniversary Edition will not only feature the original tracks but will also include exciting bonus material. Fans can look forward to the inclusion of the previously unreleased rarity “Nail In Your Hand,” which is now available on streaming platforms for the first time. In addition to this new material, the reissue will present a fresh version of “Heaviside,” reimagined by Wisp, and a collection of demos that shed light on the creative process behind the original album.

Originally released in 2015, “Everybody Is Going To Heaven” expanded Citizen’s sound beyond their emo and post-hardcore roots, incorporating elements of grunge and alternative rock. The album’s raw energy and exploration of heavy themes such as mortality and identity resonated with listeners and established a lasting connection. Nick Hamm, the band’s guitarist, reflected on the album’s impact, noting that it accurately captured their feelings and creative direction at the time.

This celebration of “Everybody Is Going To Heaven” coincides with the band’s commitment to continually evolve and refuse to be confined to a single sound or era. The album not only marked a critical point in Citizen’s career but also paved the way for their ongoing journey as genre-blurring artists. The band’s willingness to explore new musical territories has allowed them to maintain relevancy and artistry in their music.

In addition to the album’s release, Citizen will be performing live at notable festivals including Riot Fest and Furnace Fest. They have also planned a unique one-night-only album play-through show in Detroit, giving fans a chance to experience the beloved tracks in a celebratory atmosphere.

Pre-orders for the “Everybody Is Going To Heaven” 10-Year Anniversary Edition are currently available, inviting fans to secure their copies ahead of the release date. With a tracklist that includes fan favorites and exciting new content, this release promises to be a must-have for both new listeners and long-time fans of the band.
