Bottom Out posted new track

Bottom Out posted new track on their bandcamp profile, entitled Letters From Earth! So see the ruse, with it's end in bloom, to see this strife and these vices tear their way through you. I always knew, to put no faith into the shit you talk, and the hate you spew. If the Devil is the author, then I serve as the pen. Watch your seed rot; wicked, through the hearts of men. So as I walk, and I'm shadowed by death I beg you bury me face down, tired and faithless.

Grim - Demo 2012

Fucking hell, that is some hard-ass shit. Grim definitely is hardcore, but they take a lot of metal influences to give their music more force. It's mid-tempo grooves most of the times, but because they keep their songs rather short it doesn't get boring that fast. Don't know much about the band reall, but I hope to hear more from them in the future! Download it!

Demonwomb Interview

Crossover sound which combines the best elements of hardcore and thrash metal is what to be expected from the debut EP by Austria-based Demonwomb. Think some Cro-Mags mixed with Pantera mixed with Slayer, and the whole stuff is played with finesse and skills above average. The band shares it for free, but 7” version is also available from Power Trip Records. Check out the interview with Sandro, who plays the bass, who shares some background info about the band, new EP and hardcore in Vienna!

Halftime - Demo 2012

Some harsh but neat hardcore from this San Diego band. There's a strong NYHC vibe here, think names like Breakdown or even Biohazard in the harder parts, and a lot of fuck-the-world attitude which I like. I dig the Suffer The Pain song, with the massive stomping part, nice solo at the end and general crossover feeling. The other songs are solid as well, but this one is my fav. Check the band's facebook profile and download the demo here.

Dogchains - Demo 2012

Just a quick look at band's name and the cover of their first demo tells me we're dealing with something every hardcore connoisseur will appreciate. Dogchains is from Germany and is down with straight edge lifestyle. The music has a classic NYHC vibe to it, with some melodies in the guitar parts and strong groove laid down by the rhythm section. I can image the band causes some serious pit damage during the breakdown parts! The demo quality is top notch and you can hear all the instruments clearly. Definitely worth checking out! Download it!
