On their debut albumA Breed Apart, out now on DAZE, Pennsylvania hardcore band Power of Fear pack a riff-fueled fury. Drawing from bands like Hatebreed and Cold As Life, as well as guitar structures in funk and jazz music, the band have created nine heavy and high energy tracks. Growling vocals with an enraged attitude pack a raw disdain in lyrics that anyone can relate to. It’s tough, crushing, mosh-ready hardcore with a bit of bounce to satisfy your eardrums.
Expanding on the lyrics, vocalist Barker stated: “Every song has a negative overtone to it. Hardcore has always been my outlet for aggression and disdain and all of these songs are a testament to that. All of the songs are about people that have either let me down or put me through some hard times in my life. Almost every song people should be able to relate to in some kind of way because they’re all things people experience in some sort of capacity throughout life whether it’s someone letting you down, being fake, or someone you just flat out don’t like.”
A Breed Apart was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Shane Mayer at Cerebral Audio. The album is available now on CD with shirt and poster, and on Bandcamp and streaming services.
