ROT IN HELL - HALLWAYS OF THE ALLWAYS (United Kingdom)

2009-11-20T04:09:00.000-08:00

ROT IN HELL - HALLWAYS OF THE ALLWAYS (United Kingdom)

Hailing from the UK, Rot in Hell plays metallic hardcore. Not the type that your 13-year-old cousin in the girls' jeans thinks he listens to, rather the type inspired by Integrity. Not only is Rot in Hell clearly influenced by the legendary Cleveland band, but is also a member of the Holy Terror ring of bands, which is of course, headed by Integrity. That said, you should know what you’re getting here: lots of fast crunchy riffs paired with slower creepy parts and the occasional guitar solo. The vocals are a shriek-type of yell and the band is consistently dirty and fierce.

RUSH IxDx - READY TO STRIKE (Manila, Philippines)

RUSH IxDx started out as a side project by members of FEUD, CHOKE COCOI and BACKFIST around 2001 but because of studies, weddings, pregnancies, other bands starting up and a hundred of other reasons (worthwhile or not), the project was put aside. Sometime this year,because of hanging out on shows all the time, we decided to give it one more shot and we played our second "first show" somewhere in Bulacan and we had a blast. It was followed up by a couple of more shows..

Another Victim was at the forefront of the burgeoning vegan straight-edge-oriented hardcore movement of the late '90s.Hailing from the same Syracuse, NY, hometown of genre standard bearers, friends, and supporters Earth Crisis, Another Victim's lyrics attacked drug and animal abuse, pornography, and racism as savagely as their brutal hardcore/metal-oriented music attacked listeners. The band formed in 1997 with Anderson Bradshaw on vocals, Jonathan Dennison on guitar, Jamie Coyle on drums, and bassist Ted Alexander.

THICK AS BLOOD - 2 ALBUMS (Miami, Florida USA)

THICK AS BLOOD is a very proud hardcore band from Miami, FL. Formed in '04, they started out as a seven man team but recently trimmed down their roster to five, bringing out a more focused sound.They released their debut album"Moment Of Truth" in '07, toured the states numerous times including Canada sharing stages with the likes of Madball, Terror, Bleeding Through and much more. Thick as Blood are in no way an original band; their songwriting and style of music has been done many times before. Embrace, like many other hardcore releases, is also overloaded with breakdowns around every corner. However, Embrace manages to stand out from the oversaturated crowd of albums coming out of the hardcore scene.

CREATURES - I LUCIFER (Cal, USA)

In the fall of 2007, five friends came together to play metallic hardcore in vein of Slayer, Ringworm, and Hatebreed: Creatures was born. The band wrote an incredible demo and played shows non-stop through out Southern California and made sure no warehouse, garage, or venue was safe from their ferocious live performance. Locals wanted more, and they got it when Creatures dropped their debut s/t 7" at Sound and Fury 2008; playing an explosive opening set that blew everyone out of the water (and some out of conciousness). Creatures made their mark on the masses. In winter of 2008, Creatures teamed up with So-Cal locals, Downpresser, to release a split for So-Cal based label, Fineprint Records, followed by a winter tour to support their efforts. Creatures' debut full length, "I, Lucifer" focuses on the band's metal roots and pushes their sound further to the limit. Face melting solos, heavy-pulvurizing riffs, and extreme speed is sure to provide something for everyone. With lyrics of depression, anger, and rage, this album is sure to keep your head banging.

NO TURNING BACK - STRONGER (Netherlands)

In this day and age where hardcore bands come and go with the speed of light NO TURNING BACK are holding true to what they originally set out to do and they're not planning on giving up, ever.

Starting out in 1997 as 16-year olds in the barren south-eastern parts of The Netherlands, music was their only means of venting their anger and frustration of not fitting in, in a world that seemed sick and cold to the bone. Since those days the band has come a long way. Driven by a merciless give-all-take-all attitude, No Turning Back have steadily been building an impressive career touring worldwide and became a household name in hardcore music, with an incredible back catalogue of five full length records, three MCDs, two split 7''EPs and a 7'' EP. Leaning on the original NYHC sounds No Turning Back has evolved and developed their own signature grooves, fast breaks and massive sing along anthems. The sound that moves any crowd into a swirling mass including circle-pits, tons of stage dives and huge sing alongs. Hardcore the way it should be.

MORTAL FEAR - 2 SONGS (Manila, Philippines)

Mortalfear initiated their collaboration in the summer of 2000. As the creativity came together and the musicianship improved, the band's dedication increased after recording the song Emotions Are Dead at the Earbender studio. Mortalfear explored fresh territories and began writing more songs. Everything became much heavier. Then came a few line-up changes that led to an even greater extension of heavier musical possibilities. Now, after several successful gigs that have taken the band virtually everywhere, Mortalfear continues to spread their sound of Melodic Death Metal, bringing their breakdowns to the brink, structuring songs with melodic slants and inciting moshy death metal, and pushing the traditional lyrical flow to a new level of brutality,

Heres a short bio, taken from thier myspace...awesome band, check em out!!! reeezzzpect!

Formed as Vizio 69 between the end of 2004 and dawn of 2005 in Esplugues del Llobregat, Barcelona. The original members were Josep, Daniel, Laura, Albert and Alex. Unfortunately, few months later the lead guitarist Alex left the band. Immediately was replaced by Xavi, taking the composition role. Before record any demo they changed their name to Assalt 43, as a tribute to victims of one of biggest battles in the WWII and the entire human history: the Stalingrad battle in 1943. Although the former and present band members are and always have been against any form of fascism, at the same time they never stood for any communism ideologies, maybe as the name could suggest.

CASTING CURSES - 2 SONGS FROM THEIR HEARTIFICIAL EP (NY, USA)

CASTING CURSES - 2 SONGS FROM THEIR HEARTIFICIAL EP (NY, USA)

Heartificial is a two-song EP from Upstate New York's Casting Curses. This five-piece hardcore outfit delivers an impact statement in just two songs, something that is rather impressive. “Hey Disbeliever” leads it off and brings to mind modern hardcore bands such as Have Heart. They mix the aggression of hardcore with a bit of melody, resulting in an enjoyable experience. The vocals remind me a bit of Zach de la Rocha's days in Inside Out at points too, which is cool. “Change the Lights” is the second track and it is ten times better than the preceding number. The opening riff kills; it's got a definite Verse vibe going on; and the sing-along at the end of the song is spot on. This two-song EP is way too short and has me itching for more. Casting Curses is a band for anyone that has a collection with records from Rivalry, Bridge Nine, and New Age.

KNOW THE SCORE - 2 ALBUMS (Florida/ Ohio, USA)

ALL TIME LOW

ALL GUTS NO GLORY

Know The Score was initiated through the aggravations of day-to-day stress and a common lack of resentment within the current hardcore scene. The motivations behind KTS are made apparent through their cut and dry lyrics that recite frustration and disgust for everything around them. Blunt lyrics combined with short blasts and mid tempo stomps serve as the blue print for the bands stylized brand of core. Other elements of Cleveland hardcore and classic thrash metal can be found peppered throughout the mix. The end result is a wave of short violent anthems that bridge anger and honesty to a new low..

For diehard fans (like me) of ONE LIFE CREW, PITBOSS2K and CLEVE-O HARDCORE, this should also be on your top list!

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)

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.

"Erie hardcore. Ninety-nine out of a hundred of you instantly thought of either Brother's Keeper or xDisciplex AD. While these two groups have since fallen by the wayside, there is still life in the ol' Lake Effect scene. Groups like Jesus Wept, War of Ages, Hank Jones, and Taste the Steel have all made names for themselves and their city in their respective niches of hardcore. Joining them is Erie's latest, Smoke & Mirrors. Comprised of former members of Brother's Keeper, Problem Solver Revolver, Shockwave, and Seven Stitches, Smoke & Mirrors' sound is rooted deeply in the backpack moshing era of the mid-90's. Flash Thunder is a six-song self-released EP (basically a demo) that combines the worlds of 90's metallic hardcore with dashes of post-hardcore and even some of the sing-along craze of the current youth-crew world'

‘The Lost and the Damned’ is a metal influenced hardcore album full with anger, hate and rage. Take the typical Clevo Hardcore sound from Integrity and Ringworm and mix it with New York Hardcore. Hard hitting for example is “End of Eternity” and you want to kill people on the monstrous end of “Fall from Grace”. Just like good old Integrity Boston/Connecticut’s Living Hell is shifting a huge pile of solos and melodic guitar parts into their sound (“Parable of a Madman” & “Malleus Dei”)

"Take the ultra-violence of A Clockwork Orange, mixed with the scathing, nihilistic and punishing sounds of Carcass and you'll start to get the idea of what Harms Way is trying to achieve.

SWAMP THING - IN SHAME (Virginia , USA)

Swamp Thing share a lot of characteristics with fellow contemporary Richmond, VA band Down to Nothing and Maine’s Outbreak. They have the affinity of `80s hardcore that Down to Nothing possesses and have the raspy vocals and the shorter, faster-paced songs Outbreak maintains. This is a simple mixture that pays off well in 13 short, aggressive and lively hardcore tunes. The songs are actually very short. Not like Infest short but, laconic nonetheless. The album clocks in at under 20 minutes, with its longest song being a whopping two minutes and 21 seconds. Though, as stated, the brief song structure matches the style swimmingly.

DIE MY WILL - DISCOGRAPHY (Connecticut, USA)

During the mid and late 90's DIE MY WILL was one one Connecticut's heaviest band which I considered to be one the band that spawned the holy terror genre alongside Integrity, This is also one of the best sellers in the CrossXBlood era. As one of the review goes ..."Die My Will took things to the next level with the release of their And Still We Destroy full length on the previously-mentioned Pin Drop Records. It was on this release that Die My Will attained legendary status in my mind. Pummeling listeners with the transitions between caveman-esque chug parts and intricate, yet disturbingly eerie acoustic pieces, the band set the standard for heavy in their era. As with any great band from their era, the band never received a fraction of the credit in which was due. Even if the band put the recordings out a decade later in which they did (aka now), they would still reign as the heaviest songs known to man. I know that in a previous post I had already labeled Disembodied as the heaviest band ever, but the point is that Die My Will is every bit as legendary as Disembodied amongst this genre; they just never received the credit that was due. I'm hoping that this post will start to reverse this trend if only in the minds of the couple hundred people who read this thing. "

KINGDOM - 9 LIVES (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania )

2009-03-28T03:24:00.000-07:00

KINGDOM - 9 LIVES (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania )

Kingdom formed in summer of 2006 with the intent of making pissed off and socially relevant vegan straight edge hardcore. In a scene where bands trade their ideals for merch sales and kids trade their rage for a pair of sneaks, Kingdom strives to maintain the ideas and ethics that lay- however buried- at the foundation of this movement. A few months after forming, they released a 6 song demo/EP on Goodbye Blue Skies records, followed by a 4 song 7" on New Age Records in spring of 2008. Before signing to Eulogy Recordings, Kingdom did 6 US tours (self booked) in their vegetable oil powered bus, and one European tour. "The Rage That Guides" is Kingdom's first full length, featuring 10 songs drawing influence from bands like Buried Alive, Warzone, and Hatebreed, and taking outside inspiration from Nile to Led Zeppelin. "The Rage That Guides" is diverse but still uncompromisingly hardcore. Lyrically taking on issues both political and personal, this record contrasts feelings of hopelessness, suffering, and despair with those of empowerment, hope, and rage. "Real Crime" addresses urban poverty and police violence, "Pythoness" takes on societal double standards and sexual politics, "33/45" is a punk rock anthem for those who choose to live forever out of step. Seething and spiteful, "The Rage That Guides" is a dose of broken glass for a spoon-fed scene.

2009-03-22T22:58:00.000-07:00

PULLING TEETH - PARANOID DELUSIONS
PARADISE ILLUSIONS

Songs like the bruising "Unsatisfied" dig deep to reveal monstrous dirges that rival any doom metal artist. While the Slayer influenced "Bloodwolves" is as volatile and infectious as a song can be. Though the aforementioned songs are truly brilliant works, it is Pulling Teeth's new found mastery of emotional ebb and flow which shines as their real strength. This awe inducing quality is revealed in the stunning two title tracks, "Paranoid Delusions | Paradise Illusions". Collectively both songs are a monumental achievement of soulful guitar work, Moog driven textures, and insightful prose. A near perfect example of how a band can evolve without abandoning the heart and raw energy that defines the "hardcore/punk" genre at its very core.

INCAPACITATE - Live at The Penny Road Pub
November 22, 2008 - Barrington, IL

Incapacitate rose from the ashes of several Chicago-based Filipino bands who are by now disbanded. A strong passion for extreme music, the four members have been a part of the Filipino underground culture before migrating to the United States. Playing in local bands like Bad Omen, Anal Scream, Aklas, Destruction Of Trust, Sanctum, among others. Music-wise, the band is a maelstrom of various styles. Drawing their craft from Thrash, Grindcore, Crust, Hardcore, and at times Black Metal influences, Incapacitate has developed a sound they can claim their own. Personal faves, the members can list a very diverse collection of artists that don't quite mix well with each other. Slayer, Death Angel, D.R.I., Morbid Angel, Urban Bandits, Mayhem, Bethlehem, Agnostic Front, The Wuds, Madball, Suicidal Tendencies, Earth Crisis, The Jerks, Skinny Puppy, Hatebreed, Merzbow, and Dead Can Dance. Yes you read that right, even Dead Can Dance.

In full support to our pinoy homeboys in the US!

HAVEHEART - Discography (Boston, Mass. USA)

2009-03-17T22:20:00.000-07:00

HAVEHEART - SONGS TO SCREAM AT THE SUN

Have Heart launched onto the worldwide hardcore scene in 2006 with the release of their debut full-length The Things We Carry. The world of hardcore was caught by surprise, and calling the album “breakthrough” would be an understatement. Reviews were nothing short of flawless, with Punknews.org saying, “It's impossible for words to do this album justice.” The album received multiple “Hardcore Album Of The Year” nods and extensive press recognition such as being named one of AP’s Bands To Know. The band went from a regional hardcore band with a passionate following to Boston’s worldwide hardcore torch-bearers that would play every continent except Africa and Antarctica, selling out shows everywhere with Bane, Ceremony, Verse, Madball, Terror and even playing 50,000 person festivals in Columbia with Coheed & Cambria. So the ultimate question is this-how do they follow up the last two years?

HAVEHEART - THE THINGS WE CARRY

Have Heart- "The Things We Carry" CD- The debut full length from Massachusetts' Have Heart. 11 unrelenting songs full of substance not often found in today's scene. Taking early influences of Chain Of Strength and Turning Point and mixing it with the mid-90's influences of Outspoken and Unbroken-Have Heart has created a record for an era. 27 minutes of pure energy, emotion and intensity.

In preparation for their May 11 tour here in the Philippines,
Check out why they are America's biggest hardcore band
today.

DISTRICT 9 - SCHOOLAHARDKNOX 2007 (Bronx, USA)

Being from the Birthplace of Hip Hop Music, and representing an eccletic mix of cultures, District 9 infused AUTHENTIC and Organic hip hop influences into their music years before countless bands attempted to “Rap Metal” their way to the top without a fraction of the style or songwriting ability. Founded by Myke Rivera (Aka Puerto Rican Myke) on the mean streets of the South Bronx, NYC in the Fall of 1994. District 9 formed from the ashes of Myke’s previous metal tinged hardcore band Close Call. One of the key bands in the second coming of New York Hardcore that exploded onto the scene as part of Kevin Gill’s Striving For Togetherness Records (SFT) family of super talented bands. District 9 tore up stages in the New York, New Jersey, and Conneticut area’s and entered the studio to record their debut record “Schoolahardknox” in February 1995 for SFT. District 9 stood apart from the crowd as their incredibly real and powerful lyrics, Catchy yet punishing songs, smoking guitars, street smart rhythyms and their “Straight Out The Bronx” attitude captivated the Underground scene.

ANTAGONIST A.D. - We are the Dead (New Zealand)

We Are The Dead is a CD packed with ten, shortish, (2mins average) tracks, which to tell the truth kind of blend into each other – which is cool, its kind of like an ever-evolving 22 minute long epic track. Excellent driving music, clean & precise while at the same time angry and heavy. Inventive and always sprinting, climbing, running, diving – like free-running molten metal.

For short, these vegan metalcore from new zealand packs some heavy brutal riffs guaranteed to explode in the moshpit... and they'll be touring here in the Philippines this coming march. so click that fuckin download link and fuckin mosh!

FULL BLOWN CHAOS - Discography (Brooklyn, N.Y.)"

I sit down and this kid comes up to me, I'm talking with him, and he says, 'I really respect that you're out here doing this. Nobody wants to do that anymore. Everybody wants to be a rock star,'" recollects Mazzola. "And I told him: You can be the drunk rock star who wants to fuck every broad in the place, or you can be the person who takes the responsibility, who wants to share their music with people, and be the role model." - Ray Mazzola - FBC.

This is hardcore super heavyweight like hatebreed times 10. The heaviness and brutality of their albums had shook the foundation of the brutal hardcore genre. And the sincerity and dedication of this band can never be match.

THIS IS BOSTON NOT L.A. COMP. (Boston, Mass. USA)

2009-01-24T05:41:00.000-08:00

THIS IS BOSTON NOT L.A. COMP. (Boston, Mass. USA)

"This Is Boston, Not L.A." spotlights seven Boston punk bands of the late '70s and early '80s: Jerry's Kids, Gang Green, The F.U.'s, The Freeze, The Proletariat, Decadence, and The Groinoids. While The Proletariat — a very political band with Marxist/socialist leanings — is heavily influenced by British punk, most of the other bands have more in common with L.A. residents like Black Flag and Circle Jerks. But whoever their influences are, all of these bands have very substantial, hard-hitting lyrics — the subject matter ranges from alcoholism on The Freeze's "It's Only Alcohol" and war on Gang Green's "Kill a Commie" to the excesses of slam dancing on Decadence's "Slam." "This Is Boston, Not L.A." isn't the last word on Boston's late '70s/early '80s punk scene, but it paints an impressive picture of the Beantown punks who were active during that era.

BATTERY - UNTIL THE END (D.C. USA)

2009-01-12T21:20:00.000-08:00

BATTERY - UNTIL THE END (D.C. USA) 1996

By 1996 they released "Until the End", their second full length album, which featured another 7Seconds cover, "Young Till I Die". By this stage they had a new drummer,Jason hamacher, who was also a member of the D.C. spazzcore band Frodus. This album saw the refinement of the bands old school revival sound, in that it saw them move towards a more stripped down and melodic style. Ben Chused then left the band and began playing drums in the Boston hardcore band, TEN YARD FIGHT. He was replaced with Graham Land who had played guitar in Worlds Collide and founded BETTER THAN A THOUSAND with Ken Olden and RAY CAPPO , the singer of YOUTH OF TODAY. The band then began their first major tour in the United States, headlining with TEN YARD FIGTH , as well as their second major tour of Europe with DAMNATION AD.

WARZONE - DONT FORGET THE STRUGGLE DONT FORGET THE STREETS (New York USA)

2009-01-12T19:48:00.000-08:00

WARZONE - DONT FORGET THE STRUGGLE DONT FORGET THE
STREETS (New York USA)

Though the band featured several members of non-caucasian backgrounds through its history, and Raybeez sang lyrics urging racial unity and spoke out strongly against anything that divided the youth of America against itself, their shows were often marred by violence. For this reason, Raybeez rarely performed from the stage. He sang out in the crowd. Often huddling with a multitude to shout the lyrics, he used it as an opportunity to stop fights before security could respond. This tactic often cooled tempers more quickly than stopping the show might have and prevented fans from being escorted out of the show. His position in the crowds rather than elevated on a stage also endeared him to fans in a way few other performers in the genre have ever achieved. The music on this album was what New York hardcore (and hardcore in general) became known for: short, fast songs with shouted socio-political lyrics, heavy but basic guitar riffs, gang chants, and attitude. The title track became a slogan for hardcore youth, and one of the most covered tracks by other New York hardcore bands. Other songs such as "Crazy But Not Insane" and "As One" had a similar impact.

ANTI-MATTER COMPILATION CD 1996 (U.S.A.)

Tully one the greatest compilations ever to put out on a cd, For 12 years its still one of my top playlist. ANTI MATTER was a fanzine published by Norman Brannon (former guitarist for Resurrection, 108, Shelter, Texas Is The Reason, and New End Original) from his New York City apartment. The zine featured interviews with many hardcore, punk, and indie bands that read more like conversations with friends rather than your run-of-the-mill interviews. One of the best zines ever printed. Farside's Moral Straightjacket was just released on Monroe Doctrine but until MD, the only place to find this amazing song was on this comp. Sense Field's Shady Day is a great song from a great band, Quicksand is incredible, the Civ song is a classic, plus Chamberlin's best song as well as songs by Lifetime and Snapcase. If there is one comp that is a must have for any punk collection, this is it.

Another great T.R.C. release by one of most respected band from those times. Urban Bandit's sound draws its influence from U.K. bands rather than U.S. ones. They had a definite impact on Manila's new breed of street-punk and Oi combos. The frontman Arnold Morales went to form the band Music Front at the end of the eighties, and eventually made a break in the music business during the 90's with the ska outfit Put3ska. The ska version of the song "Manila Girl" had been a hit and its video clip got some international exposure on MTV Asia. - BRAVE NEW WORLD BLOGSPOT

CROSS THE LINE- THROUGH THE DARK OF FUTURE PAST (Belgium)

Crossed the line was formed in winter 2006. After the end of bands like Retaliate and Die... My Demon some of the members decided to put their heads together and start with a new project. C.T.L. was born. After a few rehearsals they went to studio CCR to record 2 promo tracks, Stories of the past & Dying inside. The songs where released on a promo cd.C.T.L. plays a NYHC style with some metal influences. Fans of bands like Madball, Blood for blood, Everybody gets hurt, Terror, etc. will definitely like this one.The band started playing shows in march 2007. From that moment they played a lot of shows all over europe. in March 2008 C.T.L. went back to the studio to record some new tracks, after a little while the band released their debut 6 track MCD called "Through the dark of futures past".
And Ive heard theres some talks of this band touring here in our shores so keep bugging them on thier myspace and lets hope for the possibility of a Philippine tour.

ANTHOLOGY 2CD (USA)

Respected New York Thrash destroyers Demolition Hammer have been in danger of falling into obscurity: their last album was released in 1994, and their recorded output has actually been out of print for some time. The label that housed their entire original run, Century Media, aims to rectify the situation with the comprehensive, two-disc NECROLOGY. Encompassing their three full-lengths and two extra demos, the track listing includes the band's entire recorded output. It's a lethal array of post-Slayer thrash--all insistent beats and cascading layers of charging guitar before slowing down and stretching out by 1994's swan song, TIME BOMB.

ACME - TO REDUCE THE CHOIR TO ONE SOLOIST
(Bremen, GERMANY)

Acme (from Bremen, Germany) were among the most influential Hardcore bands of the 1990’s. Edison released their album “to reduce the choir to one soloist” in 1996, but the recordings date back to 1993/1994, these nine tracks comprise the entirety of Acme’s recorded career (one 7”, three compilation tracks, one demo). Presumably the band take their musical cues from early 90’s Hardcore bands such as Born Against and ‘Protestant’-era Rorschach, but this is occluded so thoroughly by a dense (funeral) fog of extreme metal, sludge and grind that their original Hardcore influences are difficult to pinpoint.

LETHAL AGGRESSION - LIFE IS HARD (USA)

Formed in the winter of 84 LETHAL AGGRESSION was at the forefront of the soon to be emerging Thrashcore scene. Born of the bands love for Metal, Hardcore and Punk, LA developed their origional style and released their classic demo "FTCOTFW" to rave reviews and the delight of the underground tape trading scene. Within no time at all LA was opening up on bills with Exodus, Nuclear Assault, Anthrax, Carnivore, Testament as well as Hardcore acts like Agnostic Front, COC, DRI, AOD, GBH, & the Accused as well as a co-headlining tour of Europe with Youth of Today in the winter of 89'. Lethal Aggression has always been an underground band, and if you missed them the first time around and are a fan of crossover thrash and groups like S.O.D. and D.R.I., this is well worth checking out. Their sound is raw, aggressive and energetic with metal riffs and a punk attitude.

Chokehold were a vegan straight edge hardcore/punk band hailing from Hamilton, Ontario in Canada. They first formed in 1990, releasing the "More Than Ever" demo tape in 1991. This was quickly followed in 1992 by a split EP with Crisis of Faith and the Life Goes On EP that same year.

Their rise in popularity parallelled that of other vegan straight edge bands such as Earth Crisis and hardline bands like Vegan Reich and Raid
