Mizery - Survive the Vibe

     Finally the full release is here and I can take the promo off repeat. I've posted about Mizery before when I listened to their promo which consisted of 2 tracks from this EP but now I have listened to all 5 songs and I am extremely stoked on this band. Being a huge fan of Fire & Ice, I can't help but dig this band and their perfect brew of their F&I, Cold World, and Crown of Thornz influences. Super groovy, yet heavy- hitting, this bands riffs will tear you to fucking shreds. Do yourself a favor.

They are also playing GameChanger World in Howell on December 2nd as part of the California Takeover Tour with Soul Search, Fury, Forced Order, and Blind Justice to host the Californians. Violent Situation dropped unfortunately but I'm personally more stoked on Mizery so come check out all of those bands.

Dilate - Demo 2014

   
Dilate is a new band that formed out of other bands like Seasick, Razorheads, Ugly Parts, and Bible Thumper and you can clearly hear the influences from those bands, and more. FFO:D-beat, crusty riffs, Japanese punk, and straight up raw pillaging music. The demo is just under 5 minutes long with track titles such as "Unyielding Wrath" and "Human Cost," and makes me really wish I could get my hands on a demo or some lyrics. They are playing a show on December 5th at the Cooler Ranch in New Brunswick with Red Death, Shrapnel (UK). and Big Bad Wolf, which I am super stoked for.

Nine of Swords - I Can't Stand My Own Face

     If done right, it can be really refreshing to hear a woman's voice in a hardcore-punk band. I think its about time we got more of that female touch around here and this band is a great example of that. One of my friends showed me this band an I was blown away! Between the vocals, the lyrics, raw energy, and the great pairing of the drums and bass, you find slow Pelican-esque head bobbing melodies that really make you groove. Hardcore, punk, screamo, skramz, whatever you want to call it, it rules and you should check them out.
