HARDBOILED

Mind Control

"Another thing is the macho attitude of the singer, who takes every opportunity to take his shirt off to show off his masculenity or whatever, this is practically patriarchy propaganda. "

('Some anti-fascist people from all around the world' trying to boycott band's show at Fluff)

The new five-track record by Harm's Way entitled "Blinded" should hit the streets July 23rd via Deathwish Records. The label has already launched pre-orders for the CD/12" ep. Click here to order yours. If you're from Europe - the band will play Euro tour this Summer, the dates have been posted here. This is metal-infused hardcore at its finest and music that makes you want to crush the weak Conan-style.

"The evolution of Harm's Way continues with "Blinded", their new 12"EP/CD on Deathwish. Illustrated by Florian Bertmer (Converge, Pig Destroyer, etc) and recorded at Brick Top Recordings by engineer Andy Nelson (Weekend Nachos), "Blinded" is a crusher from start to finish. Songs like "Frontal Lobe" and "Live to Loathe" are the band at their heaviest and most adventurous so far. All of it fueled by a vitriol and pain that makes them stronger than all."

This is the new video to give you a taste what to expect from 'Blinded'. Sick bastards!

New tunes from Warbrain and Bleak Reality

Two bands that I really dig have dropped new music recently. Both play heavier type of hardcore and both definitely rule. Check these heavyweights:

Warbrain is streaming Evil Eyes, which is a news track taken from their upcoming debut album "Void Of Confusion". The band is from Melbourne, Australia and plays heavy metallic hardcore with solid riffs and sick grooves. I expect this new album to be nothing but crushing.

Bleak Reality has dropped new three-track demo out on Atonement Records. On their bandcamp you can listen to one of the new songs called Sleep Tight. The band reps UK scene and is one of the hardest newer bands from out of there.

Review: Cold Hearted - Lunacy

Cold Hearted - Lunacy (Life To Live) - Life To Live is becoming a powerhouse in hardcore dropping one killer record after another, just to name latest releases by Losin’ It, Provider Step Aside or Outlast. Definitely a label to watch if you’re into legit hardcore music. Their recent addition is Cold Hearted who proudly rep Pensacola, FL scene. There’s a sweet No Warning and Backtrack influence on this ep, with heavy-ass thrashing riffs and fat grooves.
