Only The Lawless Remain
As some of you already know, Death Threat will be releasing split 12" with Rude Awakening. The record will be out via Triple B Records.
New ep by For The Glory
New For The Glory is called Lisbon Blues and marks 10 years of the band. You can order your copy here. Musically it has the right groove and aggro I need from a hardcore band, but if you heard their previous albums you basically know what to expect. Lyrically, it deals with hardships of life when you have to make ends meet working your ass off for scraps. No Colors deals morons who think they're better based on the color of their skin - fuck racism is a basic rule of hardcore but it's always good to see bands setting the record straight.
UPDATE: Today I got tip from the band that Lisbon Story is actually a full length album, not ep. Well, that's even better!
Down To Nothing - No Leash
I am pretty much sure every hardcore kid smart enough to turn on their computer/smartphone/tablet has seen it already, but still gonna post it cause the song and vid are so good! New album out soon!
Providence / Hoods split coming soon!
Knives Out started out as a way for Providence to release their music, but after years of hiatus the label seems to be back in business. The label has announced their new release will be a 7" split between Paris heaviest Providence and Sacto Hoods. There will be 300, hand-numbered picture discs available, and the pre-orders are already up here. Due out in September!
"Back at it once again and ready to pile some new stones in this hardcore scene. A couple of releases are on the way. First to come is the PROVIDENCE / HOODS "Aces" collector split. Paris PROVIDENCE - Sacramento HOODS teaming up for the realz and not for the trendy fakes !!! This vinyl comes as limited 300 hand-numbered picture 7" artworked by Dave Quiggle (Shai Hulud, All Out War, Thick As Blood, Facedown Records...) and TONR."

Redemption Denied to drop new ep!
So, the Belgian heavyweights Redemption Denied are dropping new ep soon - it's called Nothing Remains and judging from the new track they posted just recently, it's gonna crush! One of the songs that can make every serious hardcore kid go nuts. I remember seeing them play in Warsaw and they were dope - the amount of energy and vibe was off the hook. Plus, they seem like a legit dudes so give them so support and check out the new ep when it comes out.
Dynasty - Death Solution
New video from Dynasty from their recent album "Beyond Measure". The track is damn hard and the clip is nicely put together featuring some cool live action and some dude running around - there must be a deeper meaning to it but figure it out for yourself. Anyway, enjoy!

Reviews: Crippler LBU, Kartel, True Valiance
I recently got a package from Rucktion Recs and been blasting these records for the last couple of days. Bands like Kartel or Crippler are probably either love it or hate it type of hardcore, but I got a soft spot for this sound. Nothing fancy about it, just grimy and heavy hardcore that hit the right spot. Check out the reviews after the jump!
Slam!
Let the boys be boys... everyone into tough-sounding hardcore not unlike Crown Of Thornz, One Life Crew or Krutch should be aware of Last Dayz. They rep Polish scene and have couple of fine releases under their belt. The band has just posted two new songs from their upcoming 7" ep. Pre-orders are starting soon and you will have a chance to get your copy here. Shit is so hard that it's scary!

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. Their set was a blast, the vocalist is one crazy dude and the whole band was on top of their game. Like their facebook page and keep yourself updated.
The Weight We Carry - War With The Elite
New TWWC video. Notice the classic Madball jersey on the singer, cool as hell! Anyway, TWWC is a great band and this is monster of a song! Also, check out the interview I did with the band some time ago - click here.

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
Here's a new video from True Violence. The song features TJ Edge of Hollow and you can download it for free from here. The band is gonna drop new ep called 'Wasted Youth' this summer!
