New Light It Up ep - 'Dog Days'

Farewell Records has released new Light It Up ep called 'Dog Days'. Official info: Oops they did it again. LIGHT IT UP entered Berlin´s Hidden Planet studio to record their follow up of ´state of mind´ with 5 harder, darker and even more nihilistic songs. Includes download code & early bird send out of the whole record on 22nd November 2012. And oh, download contains a bonus song as well.

Dead & Dreaming - Deadlock

This is just two tracks but but they both go hard! Virginia-based Dead & Dreaming brings some rough hardcore filled with gang vocals and mid-paced grooves. Deadline is more dynamic of the two songs, with a slick breakdown at the end. Can't decide if it sounds like 90' East Coast tough guy hardcore or not. Maybe it's not exactly that style, but there are some common points. The lyrics are kinda chaotic, but worth paying attention to. If you want to hear their previous releases, click here to go to their bandcamp. Download it!

By My Hands - No Hope, No Escape 7"

If you’re into metallic hardcore than this is something to make your day a little bit less miserable. I remember I did like their previous album, Growing Older, Getting Colder, and with this short EP the band shows nothing but progress. The ep is short with only three tracks, but the content is so strong. The songs are even tighter and heavier than before, the music is very dynamic and there is no shortage of skills on display here. The overall style is rugged and both lyrics and music hit hard with pin point precision. If you like heavy approach to hardcore, this is your thing.

Bloodstained - Negativity

It's been three years since the band's latest album Saligia came out, but it's just now that Bloodstained releases a video for the Negativity track. It takes you on a trip through sick imagery, brutal visions, smut and filth of life. If Gaspar Noe was making clips for hardcore bands, the outcome would be something like Negativity. If you claim to be into heavy metallic hardcore and are not familiar with Bloodstained, you should be ashamed. The band is one of the best in heavyweight hardcore division, and as brutal as hardcore gets. Think like combination of Shattered Realm and Kickback with lots of sick, twisted shit on top.

Iron Grip - Demo 2012

This is very short 3-songs demo from Denver's Iron Grip filled with fucking rugged, in-your-face hardcore. Tons of NYHC grooves, thrash parts and pissed-off vocals make for some killer outcome and all tracks are guaranteed to make your head nod. It's a prefect taster of what this band got to offer on his forth coming album as their facebook states they are working on new EP, probably on Breakout Records. Download it!

Olde York - Shallow World

Just like on previous album, these cats still stick to the classic sound that New York city is famous for and they do it just right. Shit is NYHC to the bone, but Olde York puts their own twist on it so it’s more about paying respect to genre tradition than copying other bands. The energy of these songs is incredible and each track has its own character and vibe. You can hear they feel at ease with what they’re doing cause everything flows together so smoothly.
