"Hardcore is already a “terrifying” genre as it is"



That's an interesting take.

"yeah great review

the genre blending here is executed phenomenally. it's grindy, it's thrashy, it's moshy. the noisey bits are a bit trite, and perverse was an utter letdown. when i saw a 10 min track i was hoping for something in the same vein as the closer for gatecreeper's last ep.



overall great shit. the stylistic change from their first lp is a big welcome

Album Rating: 3.5

potential for 4.5 in the future. hxc has been in a very good place these past 5 years or so

I still need to give this a spin. Last LP is fuckin brilliant

Album Rating: 3.0

Core music is in good hands tbh



I wasn't as sold on this as everyone else but I appreciate what it's trying

Album Rating: 3.5

it's def a diff approach compared to their last, but again i'm all for it i think they executed it great

What's your take on all the Bay Area bands blowing up recently? Gulch is proven, but bands like Drain, Scowl, Sunami, Extinguish, etc. Very excited to see the genre seemingly thriving again, myself.

Not a direction I expected them to go down, but I'm glad they did. Band has done in one album what Code Orange has been trying (and failing) to do for a decade.

@yuri i think it's great but there are some crucial things to keep in mind: the bay area is fucking massive, from santa cruz to rohnert park, so 4 bands breaking thru isn't as crazy in the context of just how reinvigorated the scene is worldwide. also, imo following the "wave" of ~'10, the genre just became stagnant af outside a few bands breaking the mold and doing new shit



what's been really, really stellar is the dm/hxc blend. bands like mammoth grinder and black breath were so quintessential and are still so highly underrated in paving the way for meathead riffs

This is dope as hell

good man

this goes hard, loving the noisy industrial-type shit and man is the production ugly in a good way - sounds like it was made in an underground cavern of slime and fire, adjacent to the portal of hell itself (no this doesn't make sense)

oh, my g, it completely makes sense.
