Demo Daze: Reaper's Path, Pressure Drop, Regulate

Reapers Path - Life Sick EP
This ep has been out for some time already but it's just now that I get to listen to it. Just like on their previous releases, there's a good dose of heavy metallic hardcore backed by pissed of vocals. The way they combine heaviness with slick faster parts puts the music somewhere between Terror and Shattered Realm.

Pressure Drop - Demo 2013
Fucking vicious and aggressive hardcore with slick metallic vibe. There are a lot of strong grooves and catchy riffs in the songs, and powerful vocals seal the deal. Can't wait to hear some more shit from this band! Facebook here.

Regulate - Demo 2013
Long Island hardcore. I don't know much about the band, but I dig this demo. On the heavier side of things, but still core. Check out their facebook.

Concrete Interview

"That's when you know youre a hardcore kid. When your heroes aren't the same as everyone elses, but also when you can hear a new band you've never heard before and be beyond excited to be seeing them in a month or better yet, sharing the stage with them even though only 10 kids might show up to the show...."

Review: Clenched Fist - Guns N' Roaches

Clenched Fist - Guns N' Roaches (DIY) - Clenched Fist plays brawling hardcore that will scare the shit out of every kid who got in hardcore during the era of tight jeans wearing goofy bands. The band has been around for I don’t know how long and their debut LP Welcome To Memphis is already a classic of ignorant and reckless hardcore. After some down time, it’s good to see the them being active again and their previous album Just Like Roaches was one of the highlights of 2009. On Guns’n’Roaches the band fortunately refuse to change and stick to what they do the best.

Video: Crowd Deterrent - Worldwide

Brand new clip by Crowd Deterrent.

Review: Traces Of You - Bleed The Truth

More hardcore from Italy! Traces Of You bring fast and fairly straight forward hardcore that blends both heavy and melodic parts. The shouted vocals make the package complete and even though I am not the biggest fan of this style of singing, they get the job done. Generally, it makes me think of modern hardcore but with a heavier tone. Something in the middle between Terror and Comeback Kid, I think you can get the idea.
