It’s an enormous day for brand new data from the hardcore world. Every Friday is an enormous day for data from the hardcore world lately, however what I imply. The Hattiesburg, Mississippi synth-punk freaks MSPAINT, a recent-vintage Stereogum Band To Watch, simply got here out with their full-length debut Post-American, and it goes exhausting. Meanwhile, Texan titans Judiciary have adopted up 2019’s beastly Surface Noise with a brand new LP that’s simply as bloodthirsty. Those two albums couldn’t be extra totally different, however each of them have critical juice.
Judiciary’s entire sound has at all times leaned on hardcore’s metallic edge, and their new album Surface + Noise pushes even additional in that route. This one goes for epic thrash riffage, and the band recorded it with former Power Trip producer Arthur Rizk, who is aware of learn how to assist a band like that obtain glory. There’s an entire lot of shredding on Flesh + Blood, and the breakdowns are simply masterfully violent. This album is top-shelf gorilla music, and it makes me wish to do dangerous issues.
We’ve already posted the early tracks “Engulfed,” “Paradigm Piercer,” and “Knife In The Dirt,” however all of Flesh + Blood calls for your consideration. (I particularly like how the album begins with songs referred to as “Flesh” and “Blood.”) Stream the album beneath.
Flesh + Blood is out now on Closed Casket Activities.
