HARDCORE NEWS 11 "Bring it Down Under"

Lately lots of bands from the first wave of hardcore punk are coming back, doing reunion shows, recording new stuff and shit. It seems Ricktalife got caught up in this scenario and decided to bring back his old side project COMIN' CORRECT, resurfaced after 8 years! 

For those who are clueless, this was intented to be more of an old school version than 25 ta Life with less chug chug mosh parts, even though some songs are hard to differ. New full-length is out NOW, guest appearance by Mr. Roger Miret.

I've been listening to a lot of aussie bands lately and LEGIONS gotta be one of my fav current bands right now from the down under land. Their latest album "The Gravestone Path" matches up to Guilty's S/T 7" or maybe even Iron Age's Sleeping Eye, if only it was lengthier (being a 4-song EP) it would be a 10 out of 10! 

New material is done, ready to see the light in 2013 anytime now, but its seems they've added new elements to their music, as we can hear in this new song from their upcoming full-length. Meanwhile, rejoice yourself with the Gravestone Path:

From Sydney comes BONELESS, comprised of ex-members from Bad Blood, but this time around they went for a more straight up hardcore, resembling Nothing Done and SOIA in some parts. I honestly preferred Bad Blood, but you be the judge.

7 inch out by Rest Assured Records!

Continuing the australian saga, Melbourne based WARBRAIN is getting ready to deliver another set of pure gold enraged hardcore, just after doing a great split 7 inch with Minus (also has a new record out!). The hellhound artwork theme is preserved though!




Belgians TOXIC SHOCK are about to lay down their very first full-length through Reflection Records, destined to be one of those instant classics in the crossover thrash genre.

All ingredients are here, headbangin' riffs, 11 fingered solos technique, insane vocals, growls and shouts. Daily Demons is expected to be out this month! Here's a preview:

Scottish WAR CHARGE were featured in this blog's Hardcore News 5 (2012), from an awesome Demo to a killer debut EP on Purgatory Records, pre-orders available.
This guys are not fooling around!




Carry The Weight Records next offering is a split between 2 UK bands:

BREAKING POINT is not new to this blog, so far all their albums were well produced with songs thats inflicts involuntary mosh moviments to any listener. On the other side, FINAL RAGE appears with an overdue new material since their 2011's Tombstone EP, fierce as fuck!



Also, eyes (and ears) peeled for new stuff coming out soon from Afflictive Nature, Forsaken, Enough, Irond Mind and No Warning!!
