Second Arrows could be called kind of super group. They are featuring current members of Deadguy and former members of Every Time I Die among others. But this band in no way lives on old glory of other musical projects. No, on the contrary. This new record they are releasing with Hellminded Records is one of the heaviest and noisiest releases of 2020.

What we get here are eight songs of noisy hardcore, with one leg being in hardcore punk roots of the members, the other leg sinking into sludgecore and noise. The vocals are shouted, screamed, also at times with some electronic effect and whisperes, depends on the mood of the song. The guitar riffs are apocalyptic, almost like announcing the end of the world and no hope, the whole vibe of the record is dirty, gritty, raw with some occasional hidden melody underneath it all. I love it, one of my favorite songs is Our Grendel and also Jitters, kinda highlights of the album for me, but the whole record is one constant brutal energy and swampy, muddy atmospheric hardcore noise. Great!
