CRUEL HAND - PRYING EYES (Maine, USA)

Cruel Hand is a hardcore band from Portland, Maine drawing influences from the Cro-Mags, early Metallica, and Madball. Their debut album, Without a Pulse, was released in 2007 on 6131 Records. They played shows around the U.S. with Trash Talk, The Mongoloids, and more, hitting the United States three times and undertaking a full European tour. Next they signed to Bridge 9 Records, and in 2008 released the Prying Eyes CD/LP, described on the Bridge 9 web site as “one of the hardest records of 2008, just as full of catchy metallic riffage as it is mosh parts.”

A FADED GLORY-MISSING BEGINNING (Milan, Italy)

A FADED GLORY-MISSING BEGINNING (Milan, Italy)

Anger, power, feeling, passion: A Faded Glory is a real novelty in the Italian hardcore panorama.

The band was born in 2003 with Simo on guitar and vocals, Roby on bass and Alby on drums with the name True Insanity, but the band felt the lack of a solo voice that gives more opportunity to focus Simo on the song writing. So the line-up completed with Gianluca's arrival on the vocals in June 2008.

Since then, the band started again from scratch and soon found its shape, quickly creating brand new songs with the only intention to let free rein to their love for the music and the hardcore attitude.

Heavy and fast riffs, furious rythms glow with angry and suffering melodies. That is what characterizes the sound of the band, all mixed up with personal and introspective lyrics, telling about desire of ransom but also recognition of their guilties aknowledging human mistakes done by the today's society.

Hailing his roots in Cavite, Gian happens to be a Filipino also, and is very much eager to tour our shores.

Cant wait to see these guys play here, Get in touch with them
