ZORN - Endless Funeral
Philadelphia metal-punks Zorn return with the new 5-track EP Endless Funeral, their first new material since 2023’s head-turning debut LP on Sorry State. Endless Funeral ups the ante on Zorn’s previous releases in nearly every way, with more brutality, more musicality, and more theatricality. Zorn’s unique blend of metal and punk continues to pull from a wide swath of influences, whether it’s the brutal death metal riff on the opening track, “Warpath,” the epic mosh part in “G.O.R.N.,” the charging d-beat of “Drunken Demon” and “Dance of Madness,” and even the neoclassical shred guitar of the title track, a standout moment from recent live sets finally immortalized on vinyl. Atop the instrumental melee, vocals howl like an army of banshees let loose from hellish containment, their idiosyncratic rhythms skittering wildly across the instruments’ lock-step pummeling. Summoning both the chaos and the power of Zorn’s legendary live sets, Endless Funeral will leave you bruised, bloody, spent, and loving every second of it.
Original Release on 12” By SORRY STATE Records. RE-RELEASE On tape by The Seats Of Piss Records.

ETERAZ - Villain
It started in 2017 during Rose and Elika's first spring, after their first meeting they got together and jammed with JL to play drums and started writing some songs. Then Rose asked Hallie to play bass. Then at that time JL left and was replaced by Riley from Physique. After playing a few shows and recording Evil Hardcore, Elika asked Bee to play second guitar. Long story short, in 2021 Riley left the band and they went on hiatus for a while then continued by recruiting Sasha to play several shows.
They feel they continue to lean heavily on the influence of Japanese Crust and Hardcore music from the 80s and 90s as well as classic metal from the 80s and 90s. Inspired by contemporary bands such as Destino Final, Impalers, Vaaska, Condition, Warthog, Green Beret, and Exit Order, as well as classics such as Sacrilege, Discharge, GISM, Bastard, Anti-Cimex, and Venom.Final lineup before they decided to disband: Rose, Elika, Hallie, Bee, Sasha.
The Villain LP album contains 12 tracks packed with their dark hardcore punk style which is a bit shocking with touches of Sweden and Japan in it. The guitar has a very bad, jagged tone quality that is complemented by a thunderous buzzsaw bass. The loud drumming is top notch, pushing things deep into the red zone. What stands out most are the vocals, which are shouted in Persian.
It will be released on Vinly 12" by Iron Lung Records in 2022, and in 2024, it will be re-released by The Seats Of Piss in cassette form with a total of 25 cassettes.

VAXINE - Portal Lobotomy
After their 2019 demo and their debut 7" in 2020, VAXINE return with a full-length album like the ones before, long, with 13 songs in almost 30 minutes. This Brooklyn quartet already has its homework done being part of some of your favorites like PMS84, PORVENIR OSCURO, EXTENDED HELL, etc... just to name a few. The sound continues on the path of more classic British punk and perhaps less noisy and more classic if possible in these new songs. GBH, THE EXPLOITED or MAYHEM are the first bands that easily come to mind, like that whole British horde that blew up punk in those years, creating one of the best things that could have happened to humanity; UK82. Frontal lobotomy could have been perfectly conceived at that time. year 82 in any suburb of any English city, but no, VAXINE are here and now.

WARCHILD - A Question for Today... Not Tomorrow. (The seat of piss records)
A Question for Today… Not Tomorrow is the fifth record overall and second full-length from Umeå, Sweden’s Warchild. Given the band’s name and imagery, you might guess they play d-beat hardcore, and you wouldn’t be wrong. When I dropped the needle on A Question for Today…, the first comparison that came to mind was Totalitär. Like Totalitär, Warchild’s take on d-beat isn’t particularly heavy or noisy. The sound is powerful and clear, but the production doesn’t call attention to itself, instead asking you to focus on the riffs and songs. And they are killer! Again, like Totalitär, Warchild isn’t just banging out the gnarliest sounding chords they can find; their riffs feel well constructed, a sense of melody lurking just enough in the background to give the songs shape and character without distracting from their grittiness and power. The songs have a subtle cycle of building and releasing tension, several of them erupting in climactic guitar solos that, like the riffs, have the texture of Disclose-esque gestalt, but with that trademark sense of melody just outside the frame. A Question for Today... is an infectious record that’s almost too well done for its own good. If you’re into this particular Swedish hardcore sound, this isn’t one to miss.

OUST - Rather Be A Fuck Up
The cities of Nijmegen, Rome and Amsterdam have been chosen by fate to host one of the most promising current hardcore bands around. OUST is the name chosen for the group, to expel, to purge something from the body... rage, hate... all the things that make us feel unhappy in these dark days. With the rhythm of frenetic drums that shift between speed and mid-tempo, impossible guitar riffs, and inherent bass lines forming the solid foundation of a voice full of hate and many things to say, OUST delivers contemporary hardcore in its purest form. Drawing from the long Dutch tradition of this sound, they make it their own across 7 anguishing, claustrophobic, sometimes noisy and experimental tracks, yet always direct and raw in their consistency. That’s Rather Be a Fuck Up, with art by the living genius Mateo Correal, including a fanzine printed in risograph with lyrics, texts, and artwork.

BURNING KROSS - EP 2025
And in the middle of 2025, a marvel comes to life, the new Burning Kross recording from Belgium in 7" format. BURNING KROSS is an adventure by experienced musicians from the important Ghent scene and this is their fifth album. 4 new hardcore punk songs very USHC, 86 Mentality and Negative Approach might come to mind, but the sound is much more compact, harder, and reminiscent of the Swedish hardcore of bands like Totalitär and even with room for more "stomping" mid-tempos and even D-beat. But the best thing about Burning Kross is its political and lyrical content, which further enhances its sound. During World War II, ordinary citizens of occupied countries were, at first voluntarily but later forced, assigned to work for Nazi Germany. The same thing happened in Belgium. My girlfriend's grandfather, Oscar, did not want to work for the Nazis and so he went into hiding. However, he was betrayed and ended up in a concentration camp. He worked in Ulm, Germany. During that time, he kept in touch with his family through letters in our possession. These letters were first reviewed and likely censored by the Nazis. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish truth from lies, but the letters paint a portrait of how devastating war can be in so many different ways. There was poverty, loneliness, longing, uncertainty about the future, and at the same time, life went on. Little is known about the labor camps during World War II. That's why it's important to mention that during a war, many things remain hidden and that there are more victims than meet the eye. Leaders use all kinds of propaganda to deceive people. Even today in America, Russia, China, Israel, Europe, etc., the 7" comes with four inserts featuring stunning works by Keith Caves (as on his previous vinyls) with the lyrics of the songs, wrapped in an envelope recreating the letters Oscar sent to his family. The importance of opening our eyes to the new Nazi-fascist world order must be a reality. Don't be fooled! They always wear fake smiles. I guess it goes with the style. Politicians in my eyes!

PURE TERROR - Ehteram إحترام EP
PURE TERROR, New York City’s pan-Arab hardcore band, is back with the Ehteram إحترام EP. This four-song record is filled with raw NYC punk, but with a distinct flavor. If you didn’t catch the PURE TERROR cassette that was released a couple years ago, then now is your chance to check this band out. I’m currently obsessed with the third track entitled “No Compromise” and its shifting guitar riffs over whirlwind tempos. PURE TERROR features Nader of HARAM and a crew of gifted musicians who have managed to create some of the most abrasive (and thereby loveable) punk to exist.

SPIRITO DI LUPO - Vedo La Tua Faccia Nei Giorni Di Pioggia
Bursting through the door with a raw martial snap, SDL blast out snarling anarcho-hardcore anthems inspired by the raspy maniacal sounds of the 80’s Italian punk greats and the sloganeering/passionate-rant lyrical delivery style of the UK’s legendary anarcho punk scene. A riveting combination that doesn’t pull any punches and serves to highlight the beauty of the world rather than dwell in the brooding fodder that usually haunts those genres. Catchy, rudimentary and ecstatic music of the highest order.
Recorded by Thomas Anderson.

Our favorite heroes from Haarlem are back. Traumatizer returns with a second EP after their blistering debut from last year. Five new tracks continue to ooze pure violence and destruction based on pure D-beat rhythms and touches of punk thrash, along with some hints that might remind us of bands like Sacrilege, but without leaving aside the relentlessly explosive drum rhythms, razor-sharp riffs that allow themselves to play more, and a direct, raw, and devastating voice. The artwork, once again by guitarist Randy.
