H2O - Nothing To Prove [Music Video]

H2O is a band that had beginnings like any other band. No one could have guessed that a few guys and a former roadie from New York would start a band as a one-song side project and it would turn into a world-touring powerhouse. They took humble roots and worked their way to add their chapter to the long history of New York Hardcore and they would define the term “melodic hardcore” that would become so common years later. From 1996 to 2003 was unavoidable- four albums on Blackout!, Epitaph, and MCA records with over 300,000 copies sold, constant world touring with the likes of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Rancid, AFI, Pennywise, & the Used, Sick Of It All, the Misfits, 7 Seconds, and Madball, as well as runs on the Warped Tour-they established themselves as a household name and inspired countless others in their wake. In the pre-internet world of hardcore and punk, H2O was the band that blended the heavily-tattooed, unbridled rage of New York bands like the Cro-Mags and Agnostic Front, with the punk melodies of bands like the Descendents and Token Entry. It’s hard to argue that bands a decade later would take the melodic hardcore groundwork laid by H2O to wider audiences.

It's now 2008 and H20 is still here, but Nothing To Prove is not a comeback – that’s way too simple. Nothing to Prove is a statement of everything the band is and a taste of what the band will be in the future - and it’s nothing short of incredible. Frontman Toby Morse said it best, “This time feels urgent. I feel everything on this album has been building up over the last seven years. That’s why this album is called Nothing To Prove - because it’s all out on the table.” This is H2O’s most personal, most angry, most positive, hardest, yet catchiest album to date, and it comes into a scene not unlike the scene that H2O originally entered. Hardcore and punk as concepts have been diluted, confused and hyphenated to the point where it’s a marketing term. Nothing To Prove is a ten-song breath of fresh air and honesty that is poised to revive an otherwise stagnant “scene”.

The re-emergence of H2O hits with the first notes of the opening track, “1995.” Only a few solitary chords before the crashing of a fast, raw and melodic song, complete with classic sing-alongs and a perfect breakdown. The title track is next and while it’s only a minute and a half blast, “Nothing To Prove” sums up H2O’s manifesto for this release: the band is back and while their history speaks for itself, they’re not resting on any laurels. Featuring Agnostic Front’s Roger Miret and the one and only Danny Diablo, the band shows they haven’t forgotten where they came from. As the album progresses, H2O reminds the listener that their penchant for infectious anthems and choruses has not dissipated one bit.

Lyrically, we see Toby Morse as up front and honest as he’s ever been. Anthems about being straight edge in his 30’s (“Still Here”), to being a responsible adult with tattoos (“Heart On My Sleeve”), and the personal sacrifices and vulnerabilities we all feel (“Unconditional”) are all present on Nothing to Prove. With “Sunday,” listeners get a stunning display of Morse’s personal story - the passing of his father when he and his brother, H2O guitarist, Todd Morse, were young children, and the subsequent birth of his own child on the same day of the week. Toby bares it all in one of the most personal songs H20 has written. Ending with the anthem, and first single, “What Happened?” we are presented with a testament to the power of H2O. The song is an anthem about questioning the ethics and motives of bands and music in general today, but the subject is addressed in a positive way. They take an infectious anthem and up the ante with appearances by Lou Koller of Sick Of It All and Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio both showing what they do best. It’s a formidable closer and it’s the last statement in an album that is the most forthright in their career thus far; their hearts are on their sleeves. Bassist Adam Blake commented, “This is the first time I’ve ever seen Toby NEEDING to write lyrics. He just kept writing and writing and writing and it came so easy to him once he got started.”

What makes Nothing To Prove such a monumental album is that it is a collaboration of many long-time H2O fans, only now, instead of stage-diving and singing along, they’re behind the boards of the recording studio, designing the artwork and releasing the albums. Produced by longtime fan and friend of the band, Chad Gilbert (New Found Glory), a new perspective was brought in. Toby said, “Chad really knew how to help us take good songs and make them sound great.” Gilbert stated, “I am a fan of H2O and this is an album that fans of H2O want to hear. They needed to make this record and I’m really proud to be a part of it.” Bridge Nine Records’ owner Chris Wrenn and label manager Karl Hensel both have their own histories with H2O running over a decade as well. “This entire project has been amazing,” Wrenn stated. “Everyone involved is passionate about the album and it’s been a great experience watching this album get created start to finish and to see the band’s reaction and excitement about the finished product. They’ve never had this kind of control or say in every last aspect of the process. It’s an honor that H2O is a part of our legacy and it’s an honor that Bridge Nine is apart of H2O’s legacy.”

H2O, much like you’d expect, is hitting every corner of the globe spreading the word that H2O is undeniably back.

As We Fight - Bringing It All Together [Music Video]

Myspace

As We Fight started in July 2001 in Fredericia, Denmark. The ambition was to give it all and to take their music far through a variety of influences from member to member, which has resulted in a blend of European, American and Scandinavian metal.
Three days in September 2002 spent with Tue Madsen at the Antfarm Studio (The Haunted, Sick Of It All, Himsa, Kataklysm, Rob Halford) were converted into the debut release, which the band released by themselves in April 2003! This record was supported by tons of shows in Denmark and some weekend raids outside the country playing festivals. By the summer of 2003, As We Fight had landed a record-deal with Belgium's Good Life Recordings.
In February 2004, As We Fight went into the Antfarm Studio once again to record their debut full length - "Black Nails and Bloody Wrists". The album was released in April 2004 and received great reviews from magazines worldwide while the band supported the album by massive touring the following 18 months through Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Holland, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland in addition to a full Denmark tour with Hatesphere.
2005 saw As We Fight writing songs for their sophomore album while continuing to play shows and festivals in Europe. In addition, the "Black Nails and Bloody Wrists" album was re-released by German label Dockyard1 while the band landed an award for "Best Live Band" at the Danish Metal Awards!
In July 2006, As We Fight entered the studio with Jacob Bredahl (Hatesphere) to record their second full length album – "Midnight Tornado"! This album shows the band from a more rock'n'roll and metal side than previously. Once again, the band chose to work with Tue Madsen for the mix and mastering process. "Midnight Tornado" was released in October 2006, and was followed by a sold out X-Mas Tour with Caliban, a headlining Denmark tour, a headlining European tour and many support jobs for highly acclaimed international metal bands.

Maximum Penalty - Life Times [Musice Video]

Myspace

As part of the original Hardcore movement, Maximum Penalty has been and still is, one of the most original hybrids of the New York Hardcore sound. From the band’s inception, the founding members have fused different styles such as Hardcore, Metal, Hip-Hop and melody which put MP’s unique stamp on the scene. The band started out at the tail end of the first wave of the hardcore movement in the late 80's. They played the infamous hardcore matinee at the now deceased CBGB's with friends and family from the N.Y. scene. From that point the Crossover Metal scene exploded into the 90’s with MP's unique brand of Hardcore, along with their peers such as Sick of it all, Killing Time & Agnostic Front.

MP’s first release was their "Demo 89" along with the Blackout Records “Where The Wild Things Are” compilation. Soon after that they released the “East Side Story” e.p. and later the full lengths “Independent” and “Superlife”. In 2006 the band re-released their classic "Demo 89 / East Side Story e.p." on one disc, finally making the original demo available on CD in its entirety.

In 2008, MP went back into the studio with the intent to capture the original elements of the bands sound and identity. Produced by Dan Korneff, who has worked with artists like (Grammy Nominated) Paramore, Lamb Of God and Ill Nino, the 15 new tracks sound absolutely massive and bring the band to a whole new level.

October 6th, 2009 will see the fruits of MP's labor when Reaper Records unleashes, "Life & Times".

Born From Pain - Reclaiming The Crown [Live Video]

BORN FROM PAIN was founded in the early summer of '97, as one of the early European bands to play a crossover/metalcore brand of heavy music. BORN FROM PAIN grew up in a musical environment of mid-80's Bay Area and German trash metal and NY hardcore, 90's Florida and Birmingham death metal, NYC crossover and US/European metalcore. Bands like Merauder, Stigmata, Earth Crisis, All Out War, Bolt Thrower, Obituary, Integrity, Testament, Slayer, early Agnostic Front and Crumbsuckers were of infinite influence on members as the fuse was lit that summer..and for many years to come!

In the near 10 years of their existence BORN FROM PAIN have been mostly on the road and working hard to get noticed. Getting noticed started to happen fast. After releasing their first mcd "Immortality" in 1999, the band quickly followed up with their first full-length cd "Reclaiming The Crown" in 2000. Numerous support and headline shows followed. 2002 saw the release of the band's second full-length "Sands Of Time" that received tremendous feedback everywhere and got the band to a new level. Again, extensive touring with the likes of Hatebreed, Madball and Resistence Tour, to name a few, followed. The year 2004 saw the band embark on overseas tours in the US and Japan. Also the attention from bigger labels was drawn and in the year 2005 the follow-up to "Sands Of Time", "In Love With The End" was released on Metal Blade Records. 1,5 Years of non-stop touring alongside bands like e.g. Hatebreed, Napalm Death, Six Feet Under followed, just like appearances at festivals like Wacken Open Air, With Full Force Open Air, Waldrock Festival, Pressure Fest, Hell Fest and numerous other bigger and smaller festivals all over Europe, as well as touring South America.

Over the years the sound of BORN FROM PAIN has always kept it's trademarks and backbone intact; brutal groove, murderous fast riffing and a feeling for the most aggressive breakdowns. Never giving in to trends that came and went in heavy music over the years. BORN FROM PAIN has always felt that spewing lyrics that represent feelings of anger, frustration, melancholy and social criticism, works best over riffs that hit you like a steamroller at full speed. The band strongly signals a feeling of stand-up, honest, straight forward authenticity to the world in a stagnant metal and hardcore scene, which the band feels is ever so important in music nowadays.

BORN FROM PAIN are not, and never were, in this to win a prize for trendiest or coolest band, but to express feelings harbored by many in our scene, expressing the anger towards daily life, social unrest, emotional hardship and the murder of the world as we know it. Negativity, anger and frustration are feelings that no one can hold back in this day and age, but we can try and turn it around to make things better at least on a personal level.

After singer Che left the band regrouped and came out stronger once again with original band member (and former BFP bassist) Rob on the microphone Franssen (formerly singer for bands like Feeding The Fire, Bloodsport, Wheel Of Progress and Backdraft). New drummer Roy (ex-37 Stabwoundz) replaced the nerve damaged Roel who was not allowed to drum anymore for the upcoming years and Andy (ex-The Setup) took Rob’s spot on bass. With a new vocal style that has a more pissed off and aggressive edge BORN FROM PAIN adds a new dimension to the BORN FROM PAIN sound.

In the year 2008 the world is more than ever in a state of disarray and chaos. The powers that be do not seem to care about the people they claim responsibility for or feed their wealth. Nature is raped. People are mislead. Constantly pounding into us with a sense of uncontrollable greed. Crisis after crisis, year after year, day after day… Chaos unleashed on humanity to create new order and give a false sense of security in a world that is slowly turned into a prison. Semi-fascist laws are passed under the veil of terrorism and world peace to legally control what needs to be controlled: the power of the people. This world is turning into a battleground…in many ways. People are pushed to survival in world that is structurally getting more grim and vicious. Where will this end? What does all of this mean? The signs of arial to come. The writings on the wall. Prepare for the hour of chaos!

Survival state of mind!

With this solidly dedicated line-up, Seventh Star plowed through 2005 releasing their heaviest, most dynamic album to date, “Brood of Vipers".
After a European tour they recorded "The Undisputed Truth" and released it on Facedown Records in 2007.

No Turning Back - Nothing Remains [Music Video]

In this day and age where hardcore bands come and go with the speed of light NO TURNING BACK are holding true to what they originally set out to do and they're not planning on giving up, ever.

Starting out in 1997 as 16-year olds in the barren south-eastern parts of The Netherlands, music was their only means of venting their anger and frustration of not fitting in, in a world that seemed sick and cold to the bone. Since those days the band has come a long way. Driven by a merciless give-all-take-all attitude, No Turning Back have steadily been building an impressive career touring worldwide and became a household name in hardcore music, with an incredible back catalogue of five full length records, three MCDs, two split EPs and a 7'' EP.

In 2006 the band put out HOLDING ON, marking a turning point in their career. Released on five continents on multiple labels, CD and vinyl, has propelled the band to new levels of relentlessness. Overwhelming feedback from the international press and fans alike only added more fuel to the tour-hungry machine that is No Turning Back. Three North American tours, headline tours in Japan, Brasil and all over Europe hitting major cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Rio, Sao Paulo, NYC, LA, London, Barcelona and more. Being support for Terror, Sick Of It All, Hatebreed, Ignite, Gorilla Biscuits, Bad Brains and many others. Playing festivals all over the world like the Sound and Fury Festival in California, U.S. and the Groezrock festival in Meerhout, Belgium in front of thousands. Culminating in over 220 shows across the globe.

Their gruelling tour schedule would be enough to crush lesser men just by looking at it, but with the release of STRONGER in 2008 No Turning Back decided to up the ante even more. Recorded by Dirk Miers at De Studio and mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side STRONGER was supported by what could only be described as a world tour.

The album hit like a bomb and No Turning Back became the first European hardcore band to play exotic locations like Central America, South Africa, China and parts of Asia. Besides that they did another bunch of European and US tours, went back to Mexico and South America and hit up festivals like With Full Force (GER), This Is Hardcore (US) and Ieper Fest (BE). They played in over 50 different countries and sold over 20.000 records in the process. They have numerous video's for their songs up on their myspace page and even more video's of their overwhelming live show documented by their fans on youtube.

As their recognition continues to spread No Turning Back show no signs of slowing down. Leaning on the original NYHC sounds No Turning Back has evolved and developed their own signature grooves, fast breaks and massive sing along anthems. The sound that moves any crowd in any city in any country into a swirling mass of circle-pits, stage dives and huge sing a-longs. A split picture 7” with Strength For A Reasons was released on Filled With Hate Records this year and the band is confirmed for Europe's annual Persistence Tour.

STRONGER!

Emmure - 10 Signs You Should Leave [Music Video]

Emmure is a band that was destined to come together. The founding members met through the Internet, then commuted hours at a time to rehearse, write their music and settle on a lineup, doing all this with one goal in mind: “We’re looking to be the heaviest, most emotionally moving band out there,” declared guitarist Jesse Ketive. Their efforts have paid off in a deal with Victory Records and a debut album, set to be released early next year, determined to destroy any and all limitations to what’s known as hardcore rock.

It all started with Queens, NY, singer Frank Palmeri. “I was personally in nine different bands before I turned 16,” he says. “I was looking for musicians to play with-and this was before MySpace and PureVolume became popular. In April of 2003, I found a musician’s message board, where I first got in contact with Joe (Lionetti), who played drums. We would trade mp3s of our songs back and forth until it became obvious we should start a band.”

There was one slight problem: Palmeri lived in Queens, while Lionetti lived in New Fairfield, CT, along with his brother Ben, who played guitar. “Either they would come down or I would go there,” he says. “I took the train to Connecticut every week for a year. I spent a lot of cash on the cummute, but it ended up being totally worth it. Soon thereafter, [guitarist] Jesse Ketive and [bassist] Mark Davis joined the band, and there was nowhere to go but up from there.

“There was definitely a change in the music when those two came on,” Palmeri notes. “At first we were more of a heavy rock band. When Jesse joined the band, he brought a new writing style to the table, which got even heavier, but with more mosh into the music that molded our sound to what it is now.”

“We really enjoy writing the heaviest music possible and playing it to others, yet at the same time this band is very friendly and approachable,” Ketive says. “The thing that sets us apart is our finesse…in the way we care about everything we do, and the way we come across to people. I want our fans to have a true sense of who we are, so when we go up onstage, we’re having a lot of fun playing the hardest music we can, so people can enjoy it, too.”

With the lineup solidified, Emmure started playing out… a lot… and cut several demos and an EP to ensure that their brute sonic force transferred to CDs. “We pride ourselves on creating very genuine music,” Ketive declares. “We always made music that way and we always will. The only difference now is what we do will be done on a larger scale. How we make our music won’t change. We’re not going to snap our fingers and become this totally different band.”

“We’re definitely excited about the new songs,” Palmeri adds. “This type of music got us where we are today; it’s what people are comfortable with and that’s what we love to play. We’re just going to stay honest to the music, and that means it’s going to stay heavy and brutal.” Their music is already getting across in a very big way. Yet what makes EMMURE such a special band is that they present themselves and their music as who they really are:.”

"This is aggressive music for what many feel are frustrating times. EMMURE provides a positive alternative. Sonically and emotionally they reflect the power that music can have."

Terror - Never Alone [Album Review & Music Video]

Myspace

If Sick of it All is the hardcore scene’s version of Slayer and Hatebreed is the Metallica of hardcore, then Terror is most certainly the Lamb of God of hardcore. The style never really changes, but the fans love it and Terror is set to become the king of the scene one day. "The Damned, The Shamed" is everything that the fans have come to love about this band; it is heavy, fast, and has a sing-a-long in every song. The lyrics come from the heart, and that is what it should be all about.

You can tell that an album is going to be good when you start nodding along soon as the first song kicks off. "Voice of the Damned" is a perfect opening song for a Terror disc. The song has it all. But then out of nowhere comes a guitar solo, which is something new for the band and the hardcore scene in general. The next song, "Relentless Through and Through," picks up right where the last one ended. This song is one of the best of the album and it is sure to be a live favorite. Terror knows how to work a decent breakdown into their work, but few bands would be able to follow up a breakdown with a guitar solo (yes, another one!) and make it sound so smooth and flowing.

"Betrayer," the next song, is slower than the last two songs. Toward the end of the song it all slows down and vocalist Scott Vogel does a few lines of clean(ish) words. "Rise of the Poisoned Youth" picks up the speed again, as the song builds up into an explosion of pure anger and fury, typical of Terror. This song is also set to become a favorite. The song offers many chances for the hardcore masses to sing with Vogel and mosh to the music.

"Never Alone" is the longest track of the album, it is also the first of the disc to have a film clip to go with it. The lyrics of the song are almost uplifting at times. Lines like “When you're down reach for me, with all your strength and I won't let go, it’s you and me against this world, you've got to know that you're never alone” show that Terror is not some tough-guy band only interested in breakdowns, but a band that writes songs that actually mean something.

"What I Despise" keeps up the pace. At one stage it seems like another guitar solo is coming on, but it doesn’t happen. This song has definitely been written for the live show. The song consists of gang vocals, breakdowns and lyrics that are going to inspire countless mic grabs and stage dives.

The next song opens with a vocal solo that is all about living for yourself and no one else. "Let Me Sink" and the next song, "Feel the Pain," follow a similar pattern. Both songs start with a part focused only on the vocals. But instead of a breakdown, "Feel the Pain" focuses on guitar harmonics, which is a fresh change in the right direction. "Lost our Minds" is a great song, although it seems Terror doesn’t have it in them to write bad songs. This song is definitely a highlight of the album, however. It has it all - breakdowns, gang shouts, good lyrics, speed, and a guitar solo.

The next song, "March to Redemption" seems like it is going to be soft, as the instrumental start is fairly mellow and soft. But any fears that Terror has gone “soft” are smashed when the song gets into it, but the mellow instruments do return at several points in the song. The following song, "Crush What’s Weak," brings back the rage. But the song takes a little bit to get into, as it has a bit of an intro to start it. Many might not like the long intro, as hardcore gets straight to the point and isn’t about beating around the bush. Besides the start, "Crush What's Weak" it is a great song though.

"Still Believe" shows that Vogel has been influenced by hip hop during his career. The lyrics are catchy and all rhyme, which again sets Terror apart from the over-crowded hardcore scene. What a closer for an album, "Suffer to Return Harder" is a perfect hardcore song. This song is pretty much a “fuck you” to anyone who has doubted Vogel. Although the song is no different to the rest of the album, it is still a great closer.

Terror is a band to watch. While they don’t really break any boundaries or try to change the scene they still write songs that are far better than many bands in the scene.

Ignite - Bleeding [Music Video]

Death Before Dishonor - Break Through It All [Music Video]

Myspace

Death Before Dishonor’s humble beginnings started to rise with the release of Friends Family Forever, a seven song EP and their first release on Bridge Nine Records. Soon after, they supported it with non-stop international touring with Agnostic Front, Champion, Full Blown Chaos, and Terror. Making believers one show at a time, DBD logged almost a year and a half straight on the road before Bridge Nine was forced to release an expanded edition of Friends Family Forever as a full-length just so the band could have something new to sell.

In 2007, the release of Count Me In established Death Before Dishonor on a whole new level. Their penchant for diverse songwriting in a genre often pegged for repetition, Count Me In was praised-often by press who admittedly didn’t expect it, with Punknews saying “it’s impossible to not get caught up in their level of intensity.” If that wasn’t enough, by debuting on Billboard’s Heatseekers, Independent Albums & Top New Artists charts and staying there for four weeks, DBD proved that the kids are listening. Their video for “Break Through It All” was in rotation on MTV2’s Headbanger’s Ball for over three months, and yet, people were still passing by Death Before Dishonor. DBD headlined tours nationwide and ended 2007 on the coveted Persistence Tour in Europe-headlined by Hatebreed, Agnostic Front & Ignite, and they haven’t stopped.

2008 has shown DBD supporting Count Me In all over the world including Australia, Europe, Great Britain, Mexico and Canada as well as the United States. This year proves to be the busiest for DBD and they show no sign of stopping anytime soon.
