Stone Heart streams new album

Till the end of this week you can listen to the entire Silesia Hardcore album by Stone Heart! Click here and enjoy! 7 songs of hard-hitting hardcore from one of the best bands that Poland got to offer right now!

Warhound - No Love

New video. The realness!!!

Evil Ways - Self Titled

Evil Ways from Los Angeles, Cali delivers pure mayhem with their debut s/t release. Straight up crossover music which takes cues from the best in hardcore and thrash, it delivers the vitality of core and menace of metal. The vocals are forceful and music is dlivered with enough power to bend a steel bar in a second. I like the fact that they pay respect to the classics, but keep their sound up to date and fresh. Definitely one of those bands everyone into proper hardcore should check out! Download it!

The Last Stand to drop debut album

New York hardcore has an undeniable past, present and future within the ranks of all of the members of The Last Stand. The Brooklyn-based band features Mike Scondotto of the long-running Inhuman on vocals, along with Dion De Nardo on bass, Stephen Della Croce on guitar and Jimmy McCormack on drums, all members of the band Shutdown, who spent most of their recording career on Victory Records.

Setback - Step Up Your Game album

If you're one of those poor suckers like me who missed this one - classic NYHC band Setback has released their third full length album, Step Up Your Game. 13 tracks of crunchy 90s New York city style played by one of the few real OGs in the game. The band has been around since 1991 and been always loyal to this style, dropping two albums full of street smart, no bullshit hardcore. Haven't heard this new one yet, but I can bet it's pure dopeness. Must have for NYHC freaks.

Malfunction "Finding My Peace" pre-orders

Reaper Records has posted couple of pre-orders packages for upcoming Malfunction release in label's webstore. Buffalo Style Hardcore! Click here to listen to band's music. Personally, I think it's gonna be another killer release by Reaper, but judge it by yourself!

Rough demo of Merauder's new track

Merauder posted very rough version of ne song, 'Why?'. "Recorded on a laptop with vocals through headphones. Don't be too fuckin critical." Still, it might give you some idea how the upcoming album gonna sound like. Listen to it here or below.

No Second Chance joins Rucktion family

London's No Second Chance are joining the Rucktion familia! Those hard-working boys have been touring the UK and Europe relentlessy for the past few years and they're about to embark on their first US tour. They'll be recording a brand new EP next month with Stu McKay (50 Caliber, Brutality Will Prevail etc.) for release on Rucktion in the next few months. This follows up their split with Beater and their well-acclaimed debut full-length "Never Ending Fear".

Oblivion to release 7"

Oblivion (Tacoma, WA) streams two songs from the upcoming 7" ep. Listen to Doomed and Noose Of Hope here. Musically, it's something between hardcore and death metal, but don't confuse it with any deathcore bullshit. It actually has been up since march, but if you haven't heard it before give it a try.

Face Your Enemy - Do The Right Thing

Face Your Enemy is back to drop bombs on your ass. The band has cooked up ten new tracks which are no doubt their best work to date. I still dig their previous albums, but this shit over here is definitely step in good direction. They moved away from the typical beatdown sounds of their previous outputs and focused on more vibrant sound. The music still goes hard and heavy, but they keep it diversified with a lot of different influences running from traditional hardcore to straight up metal.

Watch Your Back Interview

Watch Your Back is band from Finland that brings some hard-hitting hardcore with balls and attitude. All across there are kids that can’t take a joke so I appreciate when some dudes bring that ‘don’t give a fuck’ mindset to the game. It’s not a joke band though, they also sing about some serious shit as well so the ‘message’ element is still here. Anyway, read the interview.

Bottomfeeder - II

The band seems to be mostly influenced by NYC and Clevo bands and this EP shows that. Bottomfeeder favors gritty metallic hardcore that falls somewhere between Merauder and Ringworm which results in a truly menacing sound. But don’t get it confused with some cheap Holy Terror wannabe band. This shit is for real. Heavy and dark and straight up evil. There’s also some All Out War influences here and there, but it makes this shit heavier and better.

Watch Your Back - Last Man Standing

Fast and no-bullshit hardcore is what to expect here. Watch Your Back comes ripping through nine songs of straight up and stripped down hardcore. All the tracks focus on pure dopeness instead of slick production or technical wankery This seven inch demonstrates some furious tempos and crazy-ass grooves so if you’re looking for heartbreaking melodies or abstract poetry, this album is not the one. But if you’re chasing that feeling when you first heard Pitboss or One Life Crew, you’re at home.
