angry and spiritual 90’s straight edge hardcore, for fans of 108, Strain
or Unbroken.
Four track debut EP by this five piece hardcore band from Munich
founded early in 2012 by former members of Closeline and With Open Arms.
While combining the true passion and ethical beliefs of the mid
90ies with the raw musical energy of the early 2000's era, the band
disapproves any elitist "not for you" attitude in today’s
narrow minded, fashion oriented and ignorant world. Black vinyl, limited to 200. Comes along with a download code.
Control, raging hardcore punk from the North East. Control have played shows across the UK and in Europe and this is their first 7" release after a handful of tapes. FFO- Youth of Today and Insted. Limited to 300 copies on red vinyl.
Originally released in 2004, the brute force and emotional power on "You Fail Me" is unparalleled, solidifying their reign in the genre that they have defined for over two decades. Never quite content with the original mix, "You Fail Me: Redux" was remixed by guitarist Kurt Ballou at his GodCity Studio. The release was also remastered by Alan Douches (Motorhead, Mastodon) and repackaged by vocalist/artist Jacob Bannon. LP includes digital download. On colored vinyl.
"Unloved And Weeded Out" is a collection of 14 rare, out-of-print and highly sought-after early tracks from the band. All of the songs were remixed and remastered by acclaimed producer and member Kurt Ballou at Godcity Studios. Clocking in at just over 40 minutes, this rare material is essential to the ever-growing Converge catalog. Now available again on colored vinyl. Vinyl version includes digital download.
Formed in Salem, MA in 1990, Converge is to modern metal what the Ramones were to punk, with albums like 'Jane Doe' and 'You Fail Me' considered touchstones of the genre. 'Axe To Fall' takes the band's maverick attitude to new highs; with leader Jacob Bannon finding searing melodies amidst the chaos of chords that is their hallmark, while the band's sound finds richer textures and deeper hooks than ever before. For fans of Every Time I Die, Mastodon, Parkway Drive, Bring Me The Horizon, Darkest Hour, Norma Jean and Slayer. Now available on colored vinyl.
"All We Love We Leave Behind" is the latest album from Converge. Once
again recorded and mixed by guitarist Kurt Ballou at his renowned
Godcity Studios in Salem, MA, "All We Love We Leave Behind" is a
no-frills Converge album that sees the band - which also features
vocalist Jacob Bannon, bassist Nate Newton and drummer Ben Koller -
eschewing fancy production techniques in order to create 17 songs that
work as a cohesive whole, yet can also stand on their own. "There's no
artificial distortion, triggers or Auto-Tune on this album," Ballou
explains, "it's all organic, it's real sounds that capture the way the
band performs live." 2xLP includes digital download. On colored vinyl.
Converge "Live at the BBC" was recorded live by Simon Askew in the historic Studio MV4 at Maida Vaile Studios at the BBC in London, August 2010. Studio MV4 is the previous home to the legendary John Peel sessions, which birthed legendary recordings from artists like New Order, The Cure, Carcass, Napalm Death and countless others.The recording boasts live in the studio renditions of "Dark Horse", "Axe To Fall", "Damages", as well as a rare, electrified version of "Hanging Moon" (the original "You Fail Me" recording features only acoustic guitars).

Epitaph and Deathwish are proud to announce “I Can Tell You About Pain b/w Eve” from aggressive music pioneers, Converge. This two song 7”EP/Digital release is the first new music from the band since their highly regarded 2012 album “All We Love We Leave Behind”. Upon first listen it’s apparent that Converge has evolved exponentially in those years. The raw emotion and anger of “I Can Tell You About Pain” is truly unsettling. While the seven and a half minute epic “Eve” shows the band pushing their melodic leanings to an incredible new level. On colored vinyl.
This 7" is Convict's demo remixed and remastered. Formed by ex-members of LA's Disapproval and Soul Search, Convict takes cues from classic USHC but serve it with a very healthy dose of oi, pounding out five mid-tempo stompers on this, their debut release. 7" includes free download and is limited to 542 copies.
Forged from the ashes of Few And The Proud, Chicago based Convicted breathes life into the militant straightedge movement. The band is not subtle about their beliefs and presenting a positive alternative lifestyle to the norm. Their message is matched only by the ferociousness of their live show.
Undeniably powerful and arguably their best foot forward in a catalog
already packed with stellar efforts, this is the fourth and longest
installment to date from Convul (shortened from their original handle,
Convulsions). Titled in Arabic which translates to "I'll Be Seeing You,"
Convul draws listeners into a whirlwind of euphoric consciousness, with
stress-inducing ambiance and a crushing sense of depression. Displaying
a cocktail of influences, this material has it all. Chaotic surges dive
into long, ominous, southern-style doom. Coupled with multi-layered
vocal entries and a barrage of lingering soundscapes, this masterpiece
has been scored with the intention of being digested all in one sitting.
Limited edition of 500 copies. LP includes digital download.
Southern California has a long history of producing it's own hardcore sound that has often been the source of continued inspiration and imitation. Culled from this history, Lancaster, CA's Coolside put seven tracks to wax on their Indecision debut that dares challenge the notion that there's nothing new under the sun. Direct to the point, it's good, old-fashioned hardcore with a modern approach. Limited edition of 500 copies on colored vinyl
Cops and Robbers were a Boston hardcore punk band that drew influence from more of the early 80's Boston scene. Playing Hardcore in the vein of SSD, and Slapshot, with a bit of early Suicidal Tendencies (first LP!), Cops and Robbers were a force to be reckoned with. Stripped down songs striking out against everything that got in their way., this last effort was a follow up to their first EP that was released in 2000 by A.D.D. Records. Members of Cops and Robbers continue on in the bands Out Cold and The Prowl.

"110," Count Me Out's Indecision debut, has been out of press on vinyl
for well over 15 years. A flagship band of Richmond, VA's hardcore
history, members of Count Me Out also played in a few other bands
including Strike Anywhere and labelmates Time Flies. A bit of youth-crew
energy with some new-school stomp. On colored vinyl.
At the time of it's original release, Count Me Out's sophomore effort,
"Permanent," came when the Richmond, VA, boys were filled with lofty
ideals and the initiative to push themselves again musically as well as
lyrically. Though akin to the traditional hardcore played by bands such
as Chain Of Strength, they were in no way a "rehash" band and had
consciously tried to mix in a strong degree of melody as well as a
little new-school mosh into their songs. This record has stood the test
of time and is just as visceral today as it was in 2002. On colored vinyl.
Fully embodying the DIY spirit, Countdown is a force to be reckoned with.

The band splits their time between two locations: vocalist Chris Wilson, bassist Hardy Alegria and guitarist Chandler Mercer in New York City, while guitarist Connor Jones and drummer Mike Ralston are in Boston. On colored vinyl.
