Hiraki – Stumbling Through These Walls LP (Nefarious Industries)
It has been a while since I wrote about a band like this. Whoever talked about music with me got the idea that love for noise rock and post-hardcore music lurks somewhere inside. Therefore, this band came like a bit of pleasant surprise that unquestionably made my day. Hiraki is a powerful Danish trio that…

Desolat – Songs Of Love In The Age Of Anarchy 12″ Picture Disc (Bloodshed666 Records)
It’s been a while since I covered a band like this on our pages. Desolat is a relatively new Austrian band based in Vienna, which arose from the ashes of sludge/stoner group Cyruss. Since 2018, Desolat appeared on a couple of compilations such as Ihr Werdet Euch Noch Weundern and 1998-2018: 20 Years BloodshedD666 Records.…

LHUMA – Springer/Self-Harm CS
LHUMA is a screamo/hardcore trio from Dresden, Germany, that is lurking around the DIY hardcore scene for a while. Since their beginnings, this interesting trio released a Self-Harm EP, which sold out in such a short period. Then LHUMA decided to record another set of songs that will become material for a Springer EP. The…

Science Man – II LP + Flexi 7″ (Swimming Faith / Big Neck Records)
After the Match Game 7″ comes the second full-length recording by Science Man. Once again, John Toohill proved there are no boundaries when it comes to writing and publishing everything in the true spirit of the DIY ethos. We all know that prolific artists are becoming repetitious or losing quality during mass production, but Toohill…

Death Of Youth – Some Demons Never Die CD (Various Labels)
Death Of Youth are familiar faces in the underground circles and certainly not strangers to these pages. I previously wrote an article about their earlier recording Suburban Dystopia, released ona 10″ vinyl record a while ago by Engineer Records. This time, Engineer Records teamed up with Sonicslap Records and Disillusioned Records to release a collection…

Chain Reaction – Figurehead 12″ EP (Atomic Action! / Control Records)
Chain Reaction is heavy hardcore machinery hailing from Belgium. The group comprises members of the Belgian hardcore scene, such as Spirit Of Youth, Congress, Kingpin, and Rise And Fall. If you’re familiar with these beforementioned outlets, then you already know what to expect from Chain Reaction. Everything about this band is calibrated, calculated, and well-planned…

Citizen Rage – Black EP (Wasted Wax Records)
In 2020, we witnessed a lot of record labels and music venues closing their doors because of this worldwide situation with the pandemic. This unfortunate situation is tough for everyone, and it seems like things will not get any better in 2021. Luckily for us, at least the underground scene produced more than enough good…

Get A Grip – United Fight EP 12” (Criminal Records)
Today, I would like to introduce a powerful hardcore punk quartet that keeps spinning on my record player for weeks. Get A Grip comes from Tucson, Arizona, and this interesting outlet showcases more than the same old hardcore maneuvers on their recordings. Since their formation, the group released a couple of releases, such as the…

YON – Order Of Violence LP (Various Labels)
YON is a screamo/post-hardcore group from Dresden, Germany. The group is a well-established name on the underground scene, but it seems these guys are keeping a low profile on social media and maintaining the incognito status while solely focusing on visual and audio aesthetics. Since their formation, YON released a solid list of recordings such…

Eyelet – The Devil Shining Out Your Eyes LP (Various Labels)
To be completely honest, this is my first encounter with this band. Eyelet is a screamo hardcore trio hailing from Baltimore, Maryland. The Devil Shining Out Your Eyes is their second full-length recording, published as a result of a collaboration between labels such as Zegema Beach Records, i.corrupt Records, and The Ghost Is Clear Records.…

Speedway – S/T 7” (Triple B Records / Svensk Hardcorekultur)
I am running a bit late with this one, but better late than never. Speedway is a relatively new youth crew hardcore group hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, and this is, what I firmly believe, their debut 7” recording. The group consists of Adam (Blood Sermon and Wayside), Anton (Existence and Time To Heal), Emil (Lifeblind…

Nowheres – The Way Back Home CS EP (Negative Aggression Tapes / Tromatized Tapes)
I can’t even express how desperately I needed to hear a band like this at the very beginning of 2021. This group represents the best melodic hardcore could probably offer right now. Nowheres is a brand new melodic hardcore punk quintet that emanates from Linköping, Sweden. If you’re profoundly into hardcore music, then you’re probably…
