World Eater - About To Fall
I've been lucky to see those dudes live in Poland at their tour with No Turning Back, Redemption Denied, Strength Approach and couple other solid bands.

This time we get bands like Loose Ends, xDigx, Jungle Fever, Plus Minus, Concrete, Conqueror, Power Play and more. Most of these songs are monster, so check it out if you’re not familiar with these bands. I will try to get my shit together and post the next podcast in 2-3 week time. I got couple of dope tracks already selected for this one so it should be killer! You can open it in a pop-up window for more convenience.
Raw Justice Interview
Sharp and powerful hardcore out of France with the right amount of fuck-the-world attitude and hard-hitting lyrics. No bullshit here. There’s no shame in taking cues from the best of them so if you’re into The Rival Mob, Judge or Floorpunch, check this shit out!Video: Survival - I Wont Hide
Survival posted this video last week but if you haven't seen it already, here it is. Goes hard!
Review: True Valiance - Expect Resistance
True Valiance hails from UK and this is their new album.The sound of Expect Resistance is heavy with a lot of 100 Demons and All Out War influences as they blend core sound with a lot of metallic riffs. Judging by the cover art and the label behind this release, I was expecting more in your face approach. In reality, the band stray more into metal territory with song structures that are more complex than your average hardcore record.
Couple of new tracks...

Review: Surge Of Fury / Chains Of Hate - Split
Surge Of Fury / Chains Of Hate - Split (Rucktion) - Brand new split release from Surge of Fury and Chains of Hate and both bands unleash a barrage of quality tracks. Surge Of Fury brings three new tracks plus a crushing cover of District 9’s Live Life. If you’re familiar with band’s previous albums you basically know what to expect here as the band stays committed to their style. The tracks on this split offer the same level of aggression but everything sounds even more tight. The faster parts are relentless and the vicious breakdowns will leave your bones broken.

Demo Daze: Heavy Eyes, Iron Chains, Chaosrealm
Heavy Eyes - Chains Of Love
Heavy Eyes is a hardcore band straight from the mean streets of Budapest. Heavy beats and tight grooves is what you can expect from this release, and the sound quality is dope. For fans of Crown Of Thorns, Turnstile, Second To None and generally all the cool hardcore bands.
Iron Chains - s/t
Another band repping Hungary to watch out for! Iron Chains has heavier sound, but it's still 100% core. Ffo: Bitter End, 25 Ta Life, Dead End Path. Actually, I am amazed by the quality of bands coming out of Budapest right now!
Chaosrealm - Demo 2013
Chaosrealm is more on the matallic side of things, but it's still dope. The songs have slick thrash feel to them but the delivery is very focused and in your face. It would be dope to hear these tracks with better production.
Video: Ante Up - Lifted
Here's new video from Detroit's Ante Up. The track Lifted will be on their upcoming cd on Filled With Hate records this fall.

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!
Video: True Violence - Badlands, CA

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.

Life Sentence Interview
Albany,NY hardcore ffo: Crown of Thornz, Bulldoze, Merauder, Stigmata and heavy hardcore in general. Their debut EP “Marked For Death” is already out on Panda Claw Records. We caught up with the band to talk about the release and discuss some other important topics like why hardcore is so great and why it's not cool to fight at shows. All answers by Vincent (vocals).Video: Pressure Drop @ One Stop Media
Here's decent quality footage of Pressure Drop set from their show with Take Offense, Downpresser, Bottom Out, and Regulate. After seeing it, download the demo (previous post). Uploaded by John, check out his channel here for more dope videos.
Demo Daze: Reaper's Path, Pressure Drop, Regulate
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.
DOWNLOAD
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.
DOWNLOAD
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.

The band has recently posted couple of new tracks from the upcoming record True Colors. The album should be out in a couple of days, and it's gonna be a vinyl release!

these frozen souls I walk by
ain´t bound to hell nor heaven

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.
