It seems hard to believe this EP is the first outing from fresh Dutch hardcore outfit SWELL POSSE. The Netherlands based band creates a fresh mix of hard-hitting classic hardcore music and less traditional elements. Not wanting to wait until the pandemic blew over, the band took the world by surprise by suddenly dropping a demo called ‘Dying Kiss’. The demo left people hungry for more, and only a few months after ‘Dying Kiss’ the band started teasing the first bits of the EP we are now very close to unleashing into the world. ‘Blacklist’ (along with a music video directed by Zino Rosmolen), ‘Test of Time’ and ‘King of Lies’ already make for a good sing along at SWELL’s early shows. SWELL is signed to Stay True bookings and starting playing live show at the very moment they were allowed to. Already having shared the stage with Dare, No Pressure and Sunami, as well as being a guest at Adversary’s release show, they are hungry to show the world their music. The future is looking bright for SWELL, besides making their mark in the hardcore scene, they are selected to play Popronde 2022 (a Dutch travelling festival for new acts to watch). This is only the beginning, and we as Blindsided Records are more than happy to be on board with the posse from day one.
Check out the brand new video for ‘Mercy Never Wanted Me’, directed by Jarmo Willering here. ‘Mercy Never Wanted Me’ drops on July 29th, 2022 through Blindsided Records.
Dagger Threat released second full length album and they just continue with brutality and carnage where the predecessor stopped. That means these intro Prologue and ten songs punch you in the gut with a mixture of metallic hardcore that we used to call new school back in the nineties and more modern beatdown hardcore with sharp precise guitar riffs, moshing parts and beatdown stop and go drums, topped with brutal vocals screamed at the top of the lungs plus some more gang backing vocals with might and energy reverberating throughout the album as a whole. Usually I am not so avid keen fan of such hardcore, being more of a old school asshole but when it also incorporates some clean sung melodic parts like in one of my favorites Wither, also Faint. I love that mixture of brutality and melody and it works fine for me. Lyrics are more personal and help you deal with your own demons, at least they did that way for me. This is a fine brutality lesson, so go for it!
