Will To Live streams new track!
Will to Live posted Old Habits Die Hard. The song is from the band's upcoming album on Filled With Hate Records! You can listen to this track here.New Blood: The Weight We Carry
The Weight We Carry is a working class heroes band from Rochester,NY that plays metallic hardcore that’s both heavy and vibrant. Apart from hard-hitting tunes, the band delivers smart and important message about the way we get screwed by big corporations and government. But it's no preaching, just telling it like it is. Make sure you check out Downcast ep the band has released recently!Review: Born From Pain - The New Future
With The New Future the band continues to blur the border between hardcore and metal. It definitely falls into the first category, but you can definitely hear a lot of thrash or even industrial metal influences at certain times. It starts with aggressive and in your face Change Or Die and really clever Never Walk Alone. Both are solid tunes! The next one, American Treasons, is driven by catchy as hell riff and is generally damn good song even despite the weak chorus.
Video: Spider Crew - Strike You Down
Brand new Spider Crew video. Those guys have been releasing clips like crazy, whether it's Spider Crew or their other band, Only Attitude Counts. Both bands are great live and this clip aims to capture some of this energy.
Review: Go For It! - Misanthropy
This is the latest album by Go For It!, a band that made some pretty decent tunes on its previous records but these new songs left me with mixed feelings. Misantrophy is definitely not bad, but something's missing. It might be because I am basically into more straight-to-the-point type of shit. What I look for in hardcore is rawness and aggression, and I never really cared for melodic core, emo or any of that crap. Old school or new school, it has to hit hard. In case of Misantrophy, it just sounds too polished to me. I think the album would definitely benefit from rawer production.
