Society Sucker is no joke


credit: lloyd anderson

Two tracks by Will To Die, other two by Society Sucker. You can pre-order that stuff here. Will To Die is solid, but Society Sucker is sharp as fuck! The band plays tried and true hardcore that is definitely exceeding the minimal standard of satisfaction I need from that music. Just for these tunes alone that ep is worth your money.

New Cornered



Cornered, new shit coming soon! Stay put for more info.

New music: Crowd Deterrent - Hated Ones



Finally, a worthy follow-up to Show Of Supreme Force comes as a two and half minutes of fury named Hated Ones. This is the shit I've been waiting for, a slamming joint that does not lack anything. The violent vocals on top of the hard as nails hardcore is what locks it down for me. I need hardcore bands to sound outcast and antisocial, making me want to do some illegal activity with their record in the background.

Can't wait to listen to the rest of that ep.

New Manipulate



New EP by Manipulate is called 'Becoming Madness' and will be available early 2016 on Flatspot Records. The label is streaming one song off that album and it's awesome as shit. That is some cold blooded hardcore!

New music: Shadow Of Doubt - Deceive



My people from Shadow Of Doubt have just dropped new track 'Deceive' which features Jose from Mizery. The band represents heavy, metallic hardcore with realness. I suggest you check this one out as it is one of the names you are gonna hear for a mean minute.

This one might serve as a teaser for the new record that is still yet to materialize, at least I hope so.

New Terror track



Terror seems to be dropping record after record in recent times, but every time new stuff from them pops up you know that shit gonna be hard.

The Solution, this track is Terror, no more no less. If you dig their newer albums, I can't image you're not into this track. The faster part is crazy, but the breakdown is off the roof. Scott is all over this shit as usual.

Turns out Victory wants to get back in hardcore game again, cause new Terror is gonna drop on that label. Can't say I'm surprised, hardcore seems to be once again the 'in' thing in alternative music scene and you can be sure everything about this move is well calculated. I respect the hustle though.

Bullshit aside... turn that motherfucker up!

My gut reaction: Hardside - Caged



You already know Hardside are dropping new album, 'The Madness', but now there's a chance to check out brand new tune from it. I gonna cut to the chase and say it's a fine work of hardcore. Musically, that's my shit. Caged is sharp and hits hard. It seems dudes in Hardside grew up during the era when bands like Merader or Hatebreed ruled the scene. Caged sounds like it could've come from one of those bands in their prime days. But this is band paying homage, not imitating. If the rest of the album lives up to this standard, the album gonna be dope.

Hardside joins BDHW



Hardside will release new full length "The Madness" via BDHW Rec. That's all we know for now, but more details should follow....

Maximum Penalty is touring Germany this summer



I was gonna say that Germany's economy makes it easy for them to snatch all the best tours, but on the other hand, you gotta admit there aren't many countries in Europe where you can have shows in 4 different cities and economically they all make perfect sense. Meaning, all the places gonna be packed. Good for them.
