HATEBREED The Divinity Of Purpose (CD)

This is one of the record I've been on quite kinda interesting await-mood for a while when its release date was close and posts + various ads/news were taking over the net channels.
I had left HATEBREED at the times of “Supremacy” (Roadrunner - 2006) and after that I had just listened to the random songs here and there (not a loyal behaviour, right?).
Then, what actually triggered all this anticipation on the new album from Bridgeport, New Heven based metallic hardcore heavy weights? Was I waiting for a modern variant of Hatebreed highly roadtested trade-mark hardcore (read about the Celtic Frost hardcore thing)? No really, don't worry, I didn't and I'm not spending all these words to say they actually did either.
“THE DIVINITY OF PURPOSE” is 100% Hatebreed

THE HOOKERS + EL CAMARO Milan's show report

Low-class whores chew high-grade metal- HC

by michela a.

It can be hard to step out of one of the Hookers’ shows completely uninjured. 'Cause these low-class-escorts of "heavy metal thunder from Kentucky” have been on stage since the mid '90s and are still terrorizing audiences all around the World with their raw, rude and supreme hc-metal cocktail Molotov. And the same they did last Saturday at LO-FI, in Milan, while sharing the stage with El Camaro from the Netherlands and the Clamps and Razorboy Hate Rock from Italy.

NOOSE "The Moral Law" just released on REACT! records

Chicago's NOOSE is really all bout angst ridden crusty produced vegan straight edge hardcore punk and
React! records just released a collection of all their stuff recorded since day one. 

The Chicago Vegan Straight Edge returns to REACT! Records, this time to take a moment, pause and look back upon the twisted path of shocked, offended and alienated witnesses left in their wake. Compiling “It’s Your Time” (REACT!), “The War of All Against All” (REACT!), “Depraved Indifference” (REFUSE) and obscure compilation tracks, THE MORAL LAW is the definitive collection of NOOSE’s recorded output to date. 20 tracks of vegan fueled, hate-filled philosophical rants you probably strongly disagree with or at least feel uncomfortable admitting to in public… cruelty-free (for the animals, at least).
