New Taste The Steel track

With American Gestapo Taste The Steel is spreading awareness about how freedom is slowly being taken away from people in today's America. People got some comfortable and lazy they don't even care. The same stuff is happenig in Europe, bands from over here need to open their eyes and tackle these problems in their lyrics as well. Musically, the band has cooked up some real heavy-ass metallic hardcore. Rough shit! Let's hope this is a teaser for more music to come from the band in near future.

We live in a frightening era of apathy where our liberties are being swept away from us systematically through distraction, ignorance, & fear. If we as a people no longer stand up for civil liberties & basic freedoms that those before us shed blood for. Then we no longer deserve those freedoms.

Review: Bent Life - Full Skull

Bent Life - Full Skull (Fist in the Air Records/6131 Records ) - After Bent Life’s self titled 7” ep I knew this album gonna be dope. Musically, they didn’t change that much but that’s good. The album sticks to the same sound that made the ep so cool and the result is just as dope as I expected. Most of the time, Full Skull is very energetic and heavy with Bent Life coming correct delivering tons of gritty riffs and fat grooves that should get your head nodding.

The hardest of the hard, I compiled this edition with this goal in my mind. Underground hardcore that's both antisocial and smart. Play this one loud! Open it in a pop-up window for more convenience.
