Brutal Attack, One Family, Total War

In two weeks Hatecore records is set to release the brand new album of legendary Brutal Attack, titled "The Real Deal."

A sample track from the upcoming release titled "Outlaw" is available HERE. Having listened to the available sample and viewing the cover art (left) it sounds like Ken has taken this work in a more upbeat direction, leaning toward rockabilly /southern rock. I anticipate hearing the full album after it's release...

The drummer of Total War had announced the creation of a hardcore styled side project last year titled Sudden Threat. Sudden threat is currently in the studio writing and recording for their first release, coming soon.

The vocalist from Total War is currently filling in on bass for Empire Falls, who are set record their second release with Final Stand records this year.

Outlaw Heroes Standing, Diary of A Dying Nation, My Sanity

From the Russian Federation comes the newest of sXe hardcore bands--Outlaw Heroes Standing (Outlaw HC Squad). The band describes themselves as "Teardown meets Leftover Crack," yet I do not hear that much of the famed crust punk outfit in their style; and their politics are far from the later. From the samples available of OHS, the band sings in Russian but some choruses are sung in English such as "Moscow Beatdown," and the band has great energy. I look forward to picking up a full length.

One People One Struggle records' Non Divine has changed their band name to My Sanity. My Sanity consists of members of Hope for the Weak and Moshpit. There is no reported change in style or direction, yet.

Non Divine was featured on the OPOS "One Family Part 1" split where they debuted their half the split with heavy hitting metalcore as well as an excellent cover of Bound For Glory's hit "Hate Train Rolling."

Another new band which I look forward to hearing more of is Diary Of A Dying Nation. The sample, which I took enjoyment in listening to, leads me to believe the band shares members with some of the other current prominate hardcore bands from Germany. DOADN's style is that of a metalcore outfit, however, at times the bands tends to go back to a traditional hardcore style of catchy riffs and natural vocals with heavy breaks and tight metal riffs mixed in.
