Based out of Schweinfurt, Germany they are creating uncompromising hardcore that hits hard and direct. Announce EP out May 8th on Subculture For Life Records / DITS Records.

Formed in 2019, the band released their first EP, ‘Keep It Alive’, in 2021 followed by album ‘A Matter Of Time’ in 2024, supported by shows in Europe and Indonesia. Focused on keeping things moving, band will release their next EP on May 8th. The five tracks draw from bands like Terror, Madball, Incendiary, packed with plenty of riffs and defiant lyrics. They share single and title track. The song pulsates from the start as metallic riffs turn into speedy rhythms and culminate in a shattering breakdown. Robust vocals carry emotional weight delivering lyrics of false hope. On the track, vocalist Simon Hereth shares:

“Song is about hoping for something and the pain when it doesn’t work out. It’s about reaching for love, joy, or fulfillment and feeling the disappointment when it slips away — I think a feeling anyone can relate to, whether it’s about love, loss, or just wanting something more.”

EP was recorded & produced by Jason Rowe and mixed and mastered by Justin Felder, Bastian Kühn and David Deutsch at 1408 Productions. The EP will be available on vinyl through Subculture For Life Records and on cassette through DITS Records. The band has a number of upcoming shows in Europe, dates below.
