This year’s edition of Groezrock – their 25th anniversary – was an odd one. No means to set a negative tone here, but as a 25-year-old, punk/hardcore-loving kid this year’s line-up wasn’t quite what I expected or hoped for. And looking at the comment feed of the Groezrock Facebook-page and the amount of friends who … Continue reading

The cover of God’s Hate‘s debut album (as seen above) is a collage that consists of images of police brutality, eyeless people, burning churches and a American flag in flames. Lyrically, but also in some ways musically, this is the perfect representation of this band: on fire, political and violent. God’s Hate could be considered … Continue reading

Saturday. After having heard the not very inspiring Metalcore/Deathcore from both Buried Verona and Atilla, and the hard-hitting hardcore from Six Ft Ditch, the real fun begins at 13:40 with John Coffey. The good friends from the Netherlands played the MacBeth stage at Groezrock last year and upgraded to the Etnies stage to defend their great debut … Continue reading

Gideon caught my attention a little over two years ago, prior to the release their full length Costs. The gang from Tuscaloosa, Alabama impressed me with a surprisingly strong debut record, that reminded me of The Ghost Inside and Hatebreed: heavily grooving Melodic Hardcore. A little more than a year later, the band released their … Continue reading
Last November, Connecticut’s Metallic Hardcore heroes Hatebreed released a lyric video for new song ‘Put It To The Torch’. That song now also has a official (and very strange) video, which can be watched below: ‘Put It To The Torch’ is featured on The Divinity of Purpose, the band’s sixth album, which will be released … Continue reading
Hatebreed have steadily put out Metalcore influenced Hardcore albums over the past few years, so it’s no wonder this new track is in the same vein. ‘Put It To The Torch’ is the first offering of The Divinity of Purpose, the band’s sixth album which is set for a January 2013 release. Listen to ‘Put … Continue reading
The annual Punk festival Groezrock will be back in Meerhout, Belgium again for a 2013 edition, and the first names of the line-up have just been announced. Besides headliners like Rise Against and Bad Religion, the festival also got some suprises up it’s sleeve. What to think of Comeback Kid for example, who will play … Continue reading
