Ripped Heart Prod 💔 Vol. 6 Mourning Dump 💿 2002 💿 Michigan Underground Punk, Hardcore, Metal, Rock

From the CD insert:

"Mourning Dump"
It is about joy, dropping the sadness and finding contentment... through the music, scene and friends, and beyond. The Lord turned my mourning into dancing ...

Wow! This is Volume 6 a!ready and I didn't even start doing the compilations until IO years after I started running shows. I've been doing this for so long I don't know if I know how to do anything else any more. Over the years (and recently) I've changed what I do and how Ripped Heart has done things, but the goals of Ripped Heart has remained the same (raising up the Underground Christian Scene in Michigan) but man has the scene changed (again and again). Music, and the scene (any scene of any style) can have such a huge impact on somebody.

I hear people all the time talking about how much punk rock or hardcore has made a difference to them in their lives. .. I was at a funeral this summer for a family member ... He was from a very different 'scene' than me but I was amazed at how much music was a part of his and his friends lives (he was buried in a band shirt, metal played at the funeral) it not only was a part of his life, but a part of how his mate and friends dealt with his death. Seeing that. I never want to find myself belittling someone else's scene or music. Music is a very big part of many of us. It also made me think again about the importance of what I do in the scene. Whether we mean to or nor what music we put out may become a big part of how people live their lives and deal with death. For some the scene is just background noise for awhile during the high school years and that is fine, I hope you enjoy what we do. But to others the scene is much more than that... to you, I hope we have something of substance to offer you.
