No bullshiting here, one of my favorite releases in 2015 so far! HOLLOW TRUTH stepped up big time since the 2014's EP The Power To Endure.
In The War Economy they reached that perfect balance between thrash metal and hardcore punk, it's highly addictive and mosh-inducing crossover! The only downside (as usual) it has only 4 tracks.. but they are writing new ones. May the Celtic deities, Raybeez and Cliff Burton enlighten their minds once again during this process!
5 YEARS of All Things Old School!! I had part of the tracklist on my mind for awhile but scrapped most of it because, luckily, a good amount of bands and labels joined and made this sampler much more cool. It features premiere tracks plus a few unreleased and rare ones that I've been collecting over the years. Countries represented by bands here goes as far as: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Poland, Sweden, Ukraine, United Kingdom and USA.
Special thanks goes to these people who embraced this fun project and believe that the DIY ethics are the foundation of our (counter) culture, either it's in hardcore punk, thrash metal, hip hop or indie rock: Mathieu @ Freak City, Dan Mourtagh @ Running Thin Records, Zack Retaliate, Indy @ Cointossrecords, Alexis @ Straight & Alert Records, Danny Drug Control, Toxic Shock, Hollow Truth, Shaman Records, Jordan Cold & Distant, Jonny Control, Leeo Surra, Better Days, Street Lights, Roman Sike, Benjamin Guidance, Garcia brothers @ Dedication, O.S.M. and Dan Cantarero @ Life To Live Records.
