A modern interpretation of the sound from the masterpiece video "Welcome to Hell," which Joseph Shabason has reportedly rewound and watched hundreds of times. This record was released in October 2023 by Canadian saxophonist Joseph Shabason on the venerable American label Western Vinyl. It features 10 ambient spiritual jazz tracks inspired by the 1996 skateboarding video "Welcome To Hell." "Welcome to Hell" features a patchwork of iconic skaters like Ed Templeton, the founder of Toy Machine, and Mike Maldonado. The original video used aggressive tracks by artists like Misfits, Black Sabbath, and Sonic Youth. However, Joseph Shabason, one of Toronto's most important contemporary saxophonists, explores large-scale melodies that advance with the on-screen action, creating a stunning work that subtly and substantially shifts the mood, reconstructing the understanding of the skate video that defines this culture and the skaters who appear in it!!
