LONG KNIFE (US)
Rounding themselves in early 80s American hardcore, Long Knife is not afraid to delve into moments that could almost be classified as classic rock. Imagine Kiss playing Poison Idea, with a healthy amount of Japanese hardcore and even some British hardcore thrown in. It’s this unique mix that makes Long Knife one of the best current hardcore acts.

BIG | BRAVE (Canada, Thrill Jockey)
BIG|BRAVE, the elemental ensemble of guitarist/vocalist Robin Wattie, guitarist Mathieu Ball, and drummer Tasy Hudson, harness an earthen heaviness composed of distorted and textural drones, austere bombast, and Wattie’s heart-rending voice. Like recent collaborators The Body, BIG|BRAVE is at the forefront of reconfiguring the landscape of heavy music. The trio brandish sparseness and density like weapons, cast tense atmospheres with languid tempos and mutate feedback into eruptions of enveloping tempests. nature morte sharpens BIG|BRAVE’s ferocity and expansive sound into emotional elegies for the disenfranchised, wringing abstracted textures and pure fervence into songs of unfathomable mass.

MAGNITUDE (US)
Emerging from North Carolina, the straight-edge outfit Magnitude is back in the spotlightwith their sophomore album, ‘Of Days Renewed...’, out viaTriple B Records. When Magnitude began the creative process for ‘Of Days Renewed...,’ the members were clear about one thing: they would stay true to their roots while daring to venture into new sonic territories. The result is a record with a ’90s metallic hardcore feel—filled with crunchy, groove-driven riffs and anthemic vocals. It’s not just the music that stands out in ‘Of Days Renewed...’; the lyrical content is equally compelling. From confronting personal fears to advocating for animal rights andenvironmentalism, the album delves into several complex issues. The band takes a hard look at the mental toll of the Information Age while urging listeners to channel aggressive energy into positivity. Magnitude—comprising Russell Bussey on vocals, Connor McAuliffe on drums, Matt Kalbaugh and Anthony Burke on guitars, and Alex Cejas on bass—already displayed a mastery over hardcore with their 2019 album, ‘To Whatever Fateful End.’ That project was praised for its meticulous craftsmanship and for offering listeners a rare glimpse into the ’90s and early ’00s hardcore scene.

RESTRAINING ORDER (US)
Restraining Order formed in January 2017 after the band members made it their New Year's resolution to start a 1982-style hardcore punk band. Heavily influenced by original hardcore movers and shakers such as Minor Threat, Circle Jerks, and Jerry's Kids, Restraining Order took their '82 style and added just enough '77-punk attitude and garage-rock hooks to stand out among today's crop of retro-style hardcore punk bands.

BURNING KROSS (BE)
Hailing from the Belgian city of Ghent, Burning Kross is an upstart hardcore punk band whose members have previously made their mark in diverse groups such as Spineless, Permanent Debt, Cheap Drugs, and Black Haven. Their single-sided LP, released in May 2023 on Loner Cult and Autoreverse Records, delivers an unapologetically fierce, raucously produced and fast-paced hardcore experience.
The six tracks on the record, including “Die,” “Hunted Down,” and “Chainbeat,” previously featured on the band’s 2022 demo tape, along with the three new tracks on this release, carry a raw intensity that pulls no punches.
