The Hermitts are a band from the UK. Purveying glumcore fuzznuggets that are mostly in tune, they were formed in the long, tepid summer lockdown of 2021. They attempt to follow the long and fine British musical tradition of melodic parochial miserableness. Their songs have been compared to the likes of Guided by Voices, the Jesus and Mary Chain and various obscure shoegazing acts we're not quite sure ever existed. The Hermitts are the personal project of Matt Hicks, and if you remember his name, you are right as he was member of Horowitz, a band gave us some great songs like "The Drunks are Writing Punk Songs" and albums like "Popkids of the World Unite!".

Generations in hardcore move quickly. The scene changes constantly, and yet there is always a group of bands uninterested in the current trends.

They’ve done everything you need to do, like release tapes and go on tour, and nothing you don’t, like collect corporate sponsorships or beg for your attention. Their new 7”, Numbers Game, is being released by 11 PM Records and features eight unifying songs and that’s it. Label: 11PM Records

Furious militaristic hardcore that sounds like napalm falling on a bomb factory. “Defcon” twists the screws on a world where lasting peace is a fantasy and people are in constant battle with inner demons and external devils. At best we can hope for brief reprieves between clashes. Man will not survive this endeavor. In fact, neither did P.S.Y.W.A.R. as they are no longer an active entity. R.I.P. Label: Iron Lung Records

"Formed in 1984 in California, Détente were like those bright stars which shine for a moment and then explode. The initial line-up was Dawn Crosby (vocals), Dennis Butler (drums), Ross Robinson (guitars) and Steve Hochheiser (bass). Before the release of the full-length ‘Recognize No Authority‘, there were three demos and a lot of changes in the band’s line-up. Living and creating in a time and place where the heart of the underground thrash scene was beating fast, Détente really had the spirit and passion of their time. This can be recognized by anyone, not only by listening to their music, but by taking a look at their biography as well. The frequent changes in line-up, often combined with disagreements derived from spontaneous explosions of their characters, reveal that Détente was a band of original 80’s thrashers. This means, that they were part of the two music scenes which emerged at that time in the USA; punk and thrash, the so-called ‘crossover’. Making an impact through their demos and live shows, Détente signed with Roadrunner Records and in 1986 released ‘Recognize No Authority‘. Ten tracks which last 30-something minutes of pure 80’s crossover thrash. As the remaining members lately stated, ‘Recognize…‘ was not only an angry-to-be-angry album, but wanted to have a clear social and political substance. This is obvious, from the track titles, the lyrics of course, as well as the intro of some tracks, which are excerpts of news broadcasts. The track ‘Holy War‘, which has an amazing and catchy bass intro that really stands out, is about the war in the Middle East. ‘Blood I Bleed‘, a very emotionally strong track, is about the exploitation of women. Apart from the very good musical composition – quick and heavy riffs, which often slow down to give a more sinister atmosphere, heavy metal-ish solos, and hammering drums – what completes this album is the passion of Dawn Crosby. Her amazing punk-style vocals had a great range, and more importantly, showed genuine passion and anger. Dawn Crosby left the band after ‘Recognize…‘ and created Fear Of God with Michael Schäfer (ex-Fog). As the biography of Détente implies, Crosby was probably a true punk as an artist and a person. It is certain that she belonged to the “pantheon” of front-women of the heavy/hardcore music scene. Unfortunately, she died from complications due to alcohol and drug abuse in 1996 (age 33). After she left Détente, the band split up for a while and then reunited, releasing the album ‘Decline‘ in 2010, and then split up again. In 2014 the album was re-released by Xtreem Music, including the early demos. What is interesting is a statement from Roadrunner which applies perfectly to Détente: “some music was meant to stay underground”. Reissue 2023, screwed pro music cassette, ltd 200, mastered by Patrick W. Engel at Temple of Disharmony. Label: High Roller

Southern Lord is honored to be releasing a remastered reissue of the 3rd and final BL’AST! studio album from 80’s: “Manic Ride”. Originally issued in 1989 as “Take The Manic Ride” and released by SST Records. Following down the same path as the previous BL’AST! revisionist reissues via Southern Lord: “Expression of Power (debut album) & “Blood” (second album), “Manic Ride" has been sonically enhanced with an aggressive remaster from Brad Boatright. Visceral, brash re-design via a gatefold jacket! TAKE THE RIDE FOR LIFE! Guitarist Mike Niedermyer has this to say "The release of Manic Ride is essential to finish the history of past BL'AST! releases. It displays how off the beaten path BL'AST! is and always has been. The music and lyrics does not tread lightly. We're grateful to have Manic Ride's affiliation w/ Rat Sound/Dave Rat, SST Records and Southern Lord and for all of our friends, fans and family, as well as the BL'AST! blood brotherhood. For this to be released in our fortieth year as a band is truly amazing." Black as well as purple vinyl in a lovely gatefold sleeve with a rad image in the inner gatefold.

Extortion blew much of the Australian underground out of the water in the mid-late 00’s with a slew of ferocious cuts Extortion concreted themselves as a torchbearer for antisocial music. Waiting for this new record to drop was nothing out of the ordinary, even without pandemic lockdowns they are a band who more often than not appear to be on some sort of hiatus – emerging suddenly to bewilder with speed and bile which is exactly what they’ve done again with ‘Seething’. With an added grinding rash to these blistering pusheads (I’m convinced you can hear shards flying from the drum kit) there’s the sardonic outsider wretchedness, trademark slithering tremolo punk & bassment groove, bludgeoning sludge and cult Australian film samples that fans have come to yearn for. Clocking the speedo with fifteen tracking in under ten minutes; this is a lean cut of leg that exposes the band at their most belligerent Australian version released by the band. Label: Self Released

Started during lockdown by three friends from Leeds, UK who wanted to make some crossover thrash, having been fans of the music for years, Pest Control is the classic story of DIY music straight from a time of crisis. Jack (from Death Metal bruisers Mortuary Spawn) joined soon after the release of the Demo in 2020 and the line up was complete with Pest Control’s first show commencing in their home town the week lockdown ended. Influenced by classic thrash giants such as Metallica, Testament etc. but with a healthy spoonful of crossover like Crumbsuckers, Ludichrist and Municipal Waste, the members grew up with one foot in the Leeds metal and hardcore scenes, taking the best from both worlds. Topping it all off, Leah’s powerful vocal reminds one of the great Dawn Crosby from Detente. For the recording of the LP they were joined by Luke on second guitar and now have a permanent second guitarist in the shape of Joe Williams (Big Cheese, Fate) and will be seen touring Europe with the almighty Foreseen, having already played across the UK with Municipal Waste, Eternal Champion and as well as appearances at Outbreak and Wrongside Fests. With this LP the band have truly shown their technical chops from the fast and furious title track to the almost operatic thrash style of The Great Deceiver. There is a fresh range of ideas and most importantly catchy songs for the Crossover Thrash fan to sink their teeth into. Mastered by Arthur Rizk, who knows a thing or two about thrash metal excellence having worked with Power Trip and Fugitive, expect to have your brain well and truly FUMIGATED.

2022 was certainly a memorable year for punk albums, with a number of releases I would consider to be new instant classics. Coming in at the final hour, the ANNIHILATED unleashed Submission to Annihilation, one of the year’s latest and greatest. Full-throated and raw, the ANNIHILATED play a similar strain of D-beat hardcore to BOOTLICKER, with a vocal delivery that has been correctly compared to Damaged-era Rollins. Lyrically, topics cover class warfare (“Divide and Conquer,” “Bootstraps”), widespread apathy (“Normality”), and the hell of substance abuse (“Vice Grip”), themes that are all uniquely modern and unfortunately timeless. Add to that the artwork from drummer Nicky Rat and mixing by Jonah Falco (whose seal of approval is always a sign of quality) and that it’s self-released(!), and it simply cannot be understated: the ANNIHILATED have ticked every box and delivered their own instant classic.

SÓLSTAFIR have come a long way from an obscure Black Metal band out of Reykjavik, Iceland to a musically mindboggling and unique mixture of dark Metal, psychedelic passions and an eerily rocking groove – beloved and praised by critics and fans alike. This band’s journey started in the year 1994 and continuously meandered into something that their many die hard adherents describe as ‘extremely cool’ and ‘different’, now the quartet’s burgeoning creativity has been bubbling up like a hot geyser unleashing their breathtaking double album “Svartir Sandar”, which takes the metamorphosis of these individualists close to perfection. This eagerly awaited masterpiece comes with a red hot passion like glowing magma and emotionality as stormy as the Northern Atlantic.

“Lion City Hardcore. "This Segregation will end" a 9-song 12" EP created by FUSE from Singapore is 100% hardcore concentrate. I don't need to mention similar sounding bands, influences or FFO type shit. FUSE bring a contemporary stab at a classic style while injecting their own unique worldview. You've heard hardcore like this before, you like hardcore like this, self described as "punked up hardcore, hard but not like those tough guy hardcore bands", they produce 8 songs and an intro that are worth your time (personal favorite is "Poison"). Music aside, because hardcore is so much more than what you play, it's how you play, and more importantly it's the reasons why you play. The Extracurriculars - FUSE never miss an opportunity to shout out their local scene, they put energy into building up their hometown, and they support their peers. Bottom line, they fucking care about creating their own space for themselves and their friends and that's all I want in a hardcore band.”- John Scharbach, Give & Shining Life Press FUSE formed as a 5 piece in 2017 and released a 2 song promo tape the same year. It's 2020 and they return with a new drummer to deliver 7 new songs in addition to "Poison" and "Deceit" from their 2017 promo. This masterpiece was recorded at 416 studios, mixed to perfection by Tom Howard and mastered by Will Killingsworth. The record is rounded out with art and layout by the infamous Nicky Rat.

One of the most seminal albums in black metal history, ROTTING CHRIST’s ‘Non Serviam’ became the blueprint for the Greeks’ now-iconic sound. Echoing the raw gritty nature of the band’s contemporaries at the time such as BATHORY and CELTIC FROST, the organic production, dark passages, and refreshed take on the genre attracted a dedicated and cult following. This sophomore release saw the Hellenic black metal battalion start to evolve and find their identity, ultimately creating their spirited, anthemic brand of black metal as we know it today.
