This Is Medicine is the only studio album by American hardcore band Reversal Of Man, released on August 9, 1999 through Ebullition Records.[1] Jeremy Bolm of Touché Amoré named the album as one of his favorites.[4]
Background
Reversal Of Man first formed in 1995 in Tampa, Florida and spent most of their time as a band touring and releasing music before breaking up in 2000. In July of 1996, they issued as split 12" with Holocron through Intention Records, which caught the attention of Ebullition Records owner Kent McClard, who agreed to release This Is Medicine.[5] To support the album, the band toured across Europe during the spring of 1999, and they subsequently toured the United States during the summer of that same year with Combatwoundedveteran.
The album was recorded at Morrisound Recording as well as The House Of Doom, with production and recording duties being done by Steve Heritage of Assück.
