Ipecac Recordings announces 25th anniversary vinyl reissues

Ipecac Recordings turns 25 this year, and to celebrate the occasion, the label—founded by Greg Werckman and Mike Patton—is planning a series of reissues of albums from its catalog. Today, Ipeac has announced three reissues from Patton’s group Fantômas: 1999’s Fantômas, 2001’s The Director’s Cut, and 2005’s Suspended Animation. They’ll be released on May 19. And next up will be Dälek’s 1998 debut Negro Necro Nekros, out May 10 digitally and June 28 on vinyl.

Werckman said in a statement, “A label does not last 25 years without consumer support. We are not the biggest or hippest record label, that was never our goal, but we are so lucky to have such a loyal, adventurous fanbase. We appreciate you and THANK you!”

Patton added, “Ipecac was us realizing we needed to start creating our own universe, where albums that didn’t necessarily fit other, more traditional labels, could have a home.”
