Full Of Hell have recently debuted the video for the song “The Lord Is My Light”, off of their recently released sophomore LP, Rudiments of Mutilation, out now on A389 Recordings. The corrosive experimental two-toned video comes directed by Lukas Hodge, who also directed the group’s previous video for the track “Fox Womb”, and depicts a hooded individual plastered with projections of slice of life moments whilst in the midst of a suicide attempt.

Stream the ghoulish video as well as Rudiments Of Mutilation in full below and be sure to catch Full of Hell on their remaining tour dates with Seven Sisters of Sleep as well as on their upcoming European trek with Circle Takes The Square and Code Orange Kids, details also below.  Continue reading »

Based out of Chicago, IL, Harm’s Way are one of the hardest hitting and original bands in contemporary hardcore today. Initially surged with a powerviolence bite, the Chicago group eventually took a turn towards caustic metallic hardcore infused with the spirit of Merauder, Machinehead and 90s death metal, even stepping into industrial territory on their acclaimed 2011 sophomore LP, Isolation. The group’s relative silence since then has recently been broken with this year’s March announcement of the group’s signing to Deathwish Inc. along with the announcement of a new EP for the group, Blinded. I recently checked in with lead guitarist Bo Lueders to talk about Blinded, touring in Europe, growth beyond the scene, Wolfnote, Bo’s new pop punk group, and more. Check it all out after the jump.

2 piece powerviolence masters Iron Lung return with their first LP in 5 years, which seems like an eternity amongst others in the genre. Powerviolence bands are typically known for large outputs of new material, given the short song structures and production rate. Iron Lung has participated in many splits and even put out some EP’s in their hayday, but 5 years between full lengths is fairly hard to come by. Continue reading »

The manically depraved New Jersey hardcore punk outfit, Altered Boys(whom I featured in the fourth edition of former weekly column Cryptic Passages last year) are back with two brand spanking new tracks just in time for their upcoming Spring tour. The two tracks, “Left Behind” and “Choosing Sides”, feature the same frantic Altered Boys powerviolence-bordered hardcore sound reminiscent of 2000′s bands such as Knife Fight and of the more recent SPINE and are currently encased in a limited cassingle format via tape aficionado label, Bleeding Edges. Pick up the limited tape here, check out the stream and full tour details below, and be sure to be on the lookout for a new 7″ from the Boys via Deranged Records.  Continue reading »

Full Of Hell’s long awaited sophomore LP has finally arrived. Presenting itself as a much more cohesive record, Rudiments Of Mutilation documents the continued organic evolution of the group as displayed in the vast experimental approaches of the various splits and noise projects since 2011′s Roots Of Earth Are Consuming My Home. The resulting effort preserves the integrity of the group’s signature base sound while mutating into its own demented avenues, cementing Full Of Hell as one of the most challenging and unique hardcore acts of today.
