Three Asian hardcore bands have come together to put out a split record to obliterate 2016 in motherfuckin’ style – and it’s only the fourth of fucking January. The record is being released by Singapore’s Dangerous Goods and features the following three acts: State of Pain (Singapore), Hollow Threat (Singapore), Lost Control (Malaysia).
