New Blood: Scarred Mind

Germany’s Scarred Mind has just recently released Heavy Mental ep which is sure to make all the fans of heavy hardcore happy. The band takes a lot of correct NYHC influences to create some massive sound. Everything is pretty much in place, from thrash-infused groove parts to vicious breakdowns. Aggressive but well thought out music with the right attitude. The guys were kind enough to answer couple of my questions so check it out!

Brazen - Abyssal Demo 2012

Brazen is a heavy hardcore band from The Redlands, Australia and this is their newest recording after couple of demos. Their sound is heavy metallic hardcore played tight. They remind me of bands like Lionheart or Since The Flood in a way they incorporate metal into hardcore without actually sounding metalcore, and at faster parts they even have a Terror feel. The songs are fast and hard with stomping mosh parts and there are even solos now and there. Pretty tight! Definitely band to watch for! Download it!
