(review) Cro-Mags-From The Grave(Victory Records)

cover

New York hardcore legends Cro-Magsare back with a new seven inch e.p. out with Victory Records. There are three songs on this record the title track featuring Phil Campbell of Motorhead. I am sure Harley and the boys loved it. I am glad that all of the court unpleasentries and gossips are over and Cro-Mags are stronger than ever with Harley enjoying second youth delivering mindblowing gigs all over the world. For me, the best song on this e.p. is PTSD reminding me a lot of Best Wishes hits although I am not some nostalgic motherfucker who listens and wants only old material, on the contrary both new e.p.-s are superb, musicianship is tight and hardcore energy is present greater than ever. Between Wars is an atmospheric, kinda dark and longer song, more complex than the aformentioned two, it shows how capable this band is to create great songs. Go check out this one, hardcore still lives! Love it!

 

 

(news) FOR THE WIN Return With First Song In Over 2 Years

FOR THE WIN is swinging back with “As Forever,” the first taste of new music from the San Diego outfit since their 2017 release Heavy Thoughts. “We are thrilled to get this new song out to our fans, and to thank them for their constant words of encouragement over the years,” exclaims FOR THE WIN’s vocalist Kyle Christensen. Known for their addictive heaviness, powerful pop and fist-in-the-air singalongs, “As Forever” anchors an emotion that every person can relate to.

Listen To “As Forever” Now.

“There is an interesting side to how this song came about,” admits Christensen. “It started as an unfinished demo back in 2016, just as we finished recording our album Heavy Thoughts. Even through that record was done, the writing did not stop. The first half of ‘As Forever’ lyrically shows how I was feeling and where I was in life – struggling with certain situations and battling to understand why some things played out the way they did. Since I started piecing that song together, I spent the last three years doing a lot of self-discovering so this song reads with the first half showing who I was in 2016.” Fast forward to present day, the charismatic frontman adds, “After revisiting ‘As Forever’ in 2019, it made sense that this song could pick up where FOR THE WIN left off in 2016. When you push through the hard times and come out on the other side wiser and stronger, those moments shape who you are.”
