Good Old Fashioned Death, recorded at the end of the world and brought back in time by Reigndear for you.
“We always wanted to put Good Old Fashioned Death out as though it was recorded just moments before the end of the world, when there just wasn’t any time to worry about perfection; when death and music in itself, was perfection.”
Recorded entirely in Taiwan (a country plagued with threats of attack from China) between 2005 and 2008 and released officially on the 10th of the 10th 2010 (National Taiwan Day) Good Old Fashioned Death, is not only a hallmark of Reigndear’s birthplace, but also of the bands love for the country of Taiwan in all its chaos and beauty.
"The imagery the record gave when recording various songs was that of a catastrophic event unfolding, like love turned to hate, peace turned to war, life turned to death, hope turned to regret and in general — loss. In short, all the things that make life hard to live but add a certain beauty to it as a whole, and it was important that the record sounded like it was recorded right in the middle of all this."
Good Old Fashioned Death is a reflective and eery record, that with time grows into you, like a creeper does to a brick wall; permanent and impenetrable.

Reigndear have devised a “Full Transparency” concept for the 3 Disc release of Birth, Life & Death.
“It always astounds me that we have to wait until artists die before we are allowed to listen to the demos and early works, with the Good Old Fashioned project, we are hoping to release our records the way life intended, in order. We as a band felt that this project should be concieved, gestate and grow until its final maturity, we have been doing this silently, as life does, for sometime now and have decided to finally make this concept known.”
As time goes by Reigndear will be adding new tracks and eventually, mastered versions which will be available only for purchase, but hope that fans will collect the free and unmastered versions and enjoy the growth and final blooming, the way honeybees enjoy the coming of spring.
Good Old Fashioned Death includes 9 tracks available for listening and limited download via
