Xibalba is one of the bands that is definitely not getting as much attention as they deserve. Heavy and metallic hardcore with an attitude of aggressiveness that is rarely seen.

Overpain - Old Recordings

This is some old recording the band wanted to share with the world. This is pretty good but I'm still waiting for their debut full length!


Bloodstained - Wrath Innate

The sickest, the heaviest, the most depraved of what Polish hardcore got to offer are back with another slab of brutality. I like the direction this band is going - they started as a generic beatdown band but were able to develop style of their own adding a lot of darkness to their sound. This one is taken from their latest album - Saliga. Get it here!

Damnation Alley - Careerist

Albany hardcore that will take you back to the 90' raw and dirty sound. Damnation Alley brings to mind names like Stigmata, Pushbutton Warfare, Neglect or even Pantera. More info on the band here.

Ratout - Thick As Thieves

Ratout is a new Boston,UK hatecore band in very early stages bringin the pain! The band has been around just for a while but members have played in other local acts before. This track is one of the first they've recorded and it's done just as it should be done - fast and agressive with some slower parts for some mosh action.
