One of hardcore music’s better qualities is voids in the genre rarely last long. Bands rise and fall like roller coaster carts – at the precise moment a popular act calls it quits, another one is waiting in the wings to take charge. I haven’t made an exact timeline on this, but it seemed that [...]

TRAP THEM Delivers “Carnage Incarnate”
Death thrash destroyers TRAP THEM have added the new tune “Carnage Incarnate” to their MySpace page. The blistering jam is from their upcoming four song 12″ Filth Rations, via Southern Lord. The vinyl only release was recorded with Kurt Ballou at the famed God City studios. A release date has yet to be announced.

STARKWEATHER Posts New Song “Broken From Inside”
Long-running Philly ‘oddball’ hardcore/metal veterans STARKWEATHER have a brand new song on their MySpace from their upcoming Deathwish release This Sheltering Night. The tune, “Broken From Inside” is the first bit of new music from the band since their 2006 full-length Croatoan on Candlelight Records (and it’s a lot of ‘new music’ as the track almost runs 10 minutes long. Bring snacks.).

CEREMONY Detail “Rohnert Park”
From the inbox:
Bay Area CA’s CEREMONY are excited to announce the release of their third full-length, Rohnert Park, which will be available on June 8th 2010 via Bridge Nine Records. Rohnert Park is the band’s finest material to date and mixes elements from their past work while exploring new territory for the band. This new album is equal parts aggressive and incendiary and, dare we say it, catchy. Don’t let that fool you, though; Ceremony’s punk stomp is apparent on Rohnert Park and Ross Farrar’s vocals are as ranting as ever. Recorded this past winter in Oakland, CA with Dan Rathbun (Tragedy, From Ashes Rise), Rohnert Park is unsafe, noisy, dynamic, and pissed. And, most importantly, impressive.
Just north of San Francisco in Sonoma County is Rohnert Park, CA, where several members of Ceremony grew up. The band commented, “Where the owls can’t seem to find, yet the geese are well known. Here, you are bound for the pageant, or bound for the bars. Fingers are pointed without the facts. Truth has no direction. You are useless here. Rohnert Park is desolate. Rohnert Park is majestic.”
