Your Fall – Your Fall — Hurry Up!, 2008

I know nothing of the Brazilian hardcore world, nor will I pretend to know anything. In fact, the only things I know about Brazil are they love football (Americans should read that as soccer) and they gave us thrashers Sepultura. Outside of that, I'm just a naïve no-nothing.

Your Fall is from Curitiba, which, from what I can gather, is the New York City of Brazil

I think. It's a hardcore breeding ground; that's all you need to know.

This is the band's first proper release following a demo. You get ten tracks of New York-influenced hardcore: thick and groove-heavy hardcore that is comparable to titans like Madball, Leeway, and Cro-Mags. Your Fall deliver hardcore you can bang your head to, dance to, or just sing-along with. And guess what? The words are in English, so you don't need to translate it - always a plus from foreign acts.

If Your Fall were from the U.S. you'd probably be hearing about them as much as you do Bitter End and Alpha & Omega. If you dig it, grab this from Bridge Nine, as they're carrying it here.

In keeping with their interests in the metaphysical realm, Painkiller find inspiration from the famed Arthur Machen horror novella. Here, the … Read more

Painkiller

The Equinox
Tzadik (2025)

Painkiller sees three absolute masters of extreme music join forces. John Zorn of Naked City and a billion other projects, Mick Harris who transcended from Napalm Death drummer to illbient guru with Scorn, and producer extraordinaire Bill Laswell. Their first two records, Guts of a Virgin and Buried Secrets are strange meditations traversing between free-jazz, grindcore and dub. Still hungry … Read more

Dauber

Falling Down
Dromedary Records, Recess (2025)

The lazy approach would be to call Dauber "ex-Screaming Females," but that barely scratches the surface. If I had to pick one band to namedrop a comparison to, it would be labelmates Night Court. They play a familiar style but with a lot of quirks that set it apart from the genre standard-bearers. It's driving and energetic -- more importantly, … Read more
