Japanese rock band lynch. is taking their latest album CLIMAX global. After a domestic release on July 1, JPU Records is bringing the project to international listeners with two physical editions arriving July 17—marking the label's first physical lynch. release.

The CD-only edition comes packaged with a 20-page booklet containing lyrics and photos, plus an exclusive bonus booklet featuring English and romaji lyrics. For those wanting more, the CD and Video on Demand edition includes the music video for "ICE," fully translated into English for the first time. This version also features a 30-minute behind-the-scenes documentary with English subtitles, offering an intimate look at the music video's production and interviews with each band member.

"ICE" stands out as a sonic centerpiece. The track leans into visual storytelling through heavy blue color grading and effects that establish an otherworldly atmosphere. As the band navigates this pensive landscape, fragmented flashes of black and murky blue create velocity and tension, while individual shots of each member performing their instrument layer in additional depth.

CLIMAX itself contains 10 tracks that bassist Akinori describes as showcasing "all the different sides of lynch." He notes the album balances "many forms of heaviness and power that are uniquely ours," avoiding simple categorization as merely heavy or fast. The album includes "BRINGER," which previously appeared on the band's second retake album THE AVOIDED SUN / SHADOWS.

The international release options give fans flexibility. Both editions are now available through various retailers including Amazon, iTunes, and JPU Records' own channels. For those wanting the full multimedia experience, the CD and Video on Demand package offers substantial bonus content that provides context for lynch.'s creative vision.

This international push reflects growing interest in Japanese rock beyond domestic borders. By offering localized editions with English lyrics and comprehensive documentation, JPU Records is making lynch.'s music more accessible to non-Japanese speakers while maintaining the band's artistic integrity.
