Black Angels - Passover XX (RSD BF 2026) - Swirl Vinyl LP Record

Twenty years after its original release, Passover has been re-recorded and reimagined through the lens of two decades of growth - as a band, as musicians, and as people.
These songs have lived many lives since 2006. Shaped across thousands of performances around the world, each track has evolved into a living, breathing organism - changing subtly night after night, year after year. These new recordings document that evolution.
Working alongside producer Dave Sardy (Oasis, LCD Soundsystem, Modest Mouse), The Black Angels returned to Passover not to recreate it, but to fully realize what the songs have become twenty years later. The result is a heavier, deeper, and more expansive recording: bigger riffs, richer textures, deeper low end, and a renewed sense of atmosphere and intensity that reflects the band as they exist today - while preserving every ounce of the raw power and spirit that defined the original album.
Originally written and recorded during the Iraq War, the themes and message behind Passover feel more urgent and relevant now than ever before. Two decades later, these songs still speak to cycles of violence, disillusionment, resistance, and humanity’s ongoing struggle against oppression - a reminder that history continues to repeat itself.
This is not a nostalgia piece. It’s Passover transformed by twenty years of experience, perspective, and sound.
