The Nirvana tribute album no one is talking about is likely the first tribute album I will ever buy

A tribute album to Nirvana that has been in the works for 7 years features some artists that have disbanded or even died since work first began. Fans of 00's post-hardcore should be stoked to hear Circa Survive, Thursday, These Arms Are Snakes, Young Widows and more (full track listing at the bottom) performing classic Nirvana tunes. Why is no one else talking about this?!?!

Cover art for the compilation. I thought it was ugly at first,
but now I'm thinking the babies in the womb are supposed
to resemble the bands Nirvana has influenced, maybe?

I guess Exclaim! is the only publication that got a press release about this. For Record Store Day 2014 (April 19 this year), Robotic Empire will release 1,000 copies of In Utero, in Tribute, in Entirety -- an album that features the original track listing and running order of Nirvana's In Utero with each song performed by a different artist.

Because it's been in production for so long, and apparently delayed because of "extended delays and legal wrangling," some of the artists have disbanded or died in the 7 years it's taken to make the compilation.

It's pretty nostalgic for fans of 00's indie post-hardcore of the non-MTV/Warped Tour variety. The album features some of the last-known recorded material by Thursday, These Arms Are Snakes, Black Math Horseman and the late Jay Retard, who died in 2010.

Pygmy Lush (with members of Pg.99), who have been quiet for a few years now, and Daughters, who just played their first show in four years last September, will also make an appearance on the record in addition to newbies and shoegaze revivalists, Whirr.

Exclaim! posted something about this two days ago and I've been spinning These Arms Are Snakes and Thursday ever since. Meanwhile, the rest of the music community hasn't quite caught on to this little diamond in the rough -- thought I'd dust off this ol' blog and help get the word out there! You can absolutely expect to find me camping out in front of my local record store for this in two months to snag this.
